The original Dyson bladeless fan just got a long-awaited revamp, and it looks better than ever

So what's new? Firstly, you have more customization options to play with. The oscillation settings have been extended – you can now choose between 15, 40 and 70 degrees of oscillation (or no oscillation at all) – and you've now got 10 fan speeds to play with.

Dyson has added a Night mode, which automatically dims the displays and adjusts fan speed for cooling that'll help you drop off, rather than being distracting. This is combined with a new sleep timer that shuts off the fan when you're (hopefully) happily away in the land of nod. There's also an LCD screen, which shows at a glance what mode you're in and which airflow setting you're using.

Elsewhere, there's still an energy-efficient brushless DC motor, and it uses Dyson's patented 'Air Multiplier' technology, which can apparently amplify the air around it by up to 13 times. As with all Dyson's fans, there are no blades, which means smooth and even airflow, and a design that's safer and far easier to keep clean.

There are no air purification (or heating, or humidifying) functions, as appear on other . The Dyson Cool FC1 is focused entirely on efficient personal cooling.

"The original bladeless fan revolutionized the way we think about airflow, combining cutting-edge engineering with sleek, safe, and efficient design," says Logan Thomson, Dyson Design Engineer. "This latest iteration builds on those core benefits by introducing modern upgrades like intelligent features, including sleep mode, to meet the demands of today’s customers.”

The Dyson Cool CF1 goes on sale in the UK on May 28 priced at £249.99, at Dyson Demo stores or online at . We're waiting for Dyson to confirm pricing and launch date information for the US and Australia.
