    A traditional fan also pulls air from around its blades using the same principal. A bladeless is just a gimmick it has no actual benefits.

    Here’s a video on the subject:

    It turns out, a bladeless fan is even less efficient than a traditional one. It works better, when you remove the casing.

      it has no actual benefits.

        Toddler hands don’t go through the protection of a classic fan, if it’s built like after 1965.

        Also we were not discussing esthetics but efficiency.

      Thank you.

      Much like Sharper Image’s Ionic Breeze, this is a very expensive bullshit tower, but I am seeing them everywhere lately. Box fans are fucking amazing. Get a box fan.

        None of what You said is about efficiency, which is the subject here. Not paying corporations for bullshit is one of my goals in life.
