Background
Dyson is a reputed organization in Singapore that has launched lately the technology of the bladeless fan, which is quite safe and provide powerful airflows (Stacks and Michael). The concept of using the air multiplier instead of the regular blade fans is unique and is provided with more facilities like sleep timer and remote control of the airflow. The concept of the Dyson fan is quite effective and that is the reason it can set aside from the traditional fans. Some suggest that a Japanese company first developed the concept of the bladeless fan that is almost 30 years ago. James Dyson, the father of the Dyson Company along with the team of new scientists and engineers are always in the survey of finding new things and implement them in the various household activities.
The Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is considered as the key factor of a particular company and in this case, the bladeless fan is the key product of the Dyson Company of Singapore. It has no outside blades and the bladeless fans have the capability to blow it from its ring (Chung, Jaesub and Robert). A powerful stream of an uninterrupted airflow can allow even a balloon to pass through it towards the target. The fan can be tilted by a single touch that needs to stay without having any clamping as they have their own gravity centers. The fan also provides with a guarantee for two years along with its labor and parts. The compressor draws the air in, then it passes through the ring, and then out of a slit, the air comes out and is released over a shape of a wing of an aircraft. It also enhanced the airflow by fifteen times than the airflow of the occidental fans with blades (Wilcox, Glen and Bryan).
