Are you a fan?
During the development of the product Dyson commissioned Austin Research to undertake various quantitative usage and attitude studies with fan users in the UK, US, Australia, China and Japan. The research was carried out online and designed to understand how people used their fans and the frustrations they had about using them. The results from the surveys were fed into the design process and used to help shape the development of the Air Multiplier Fan.
