Dyson's smart heater
 Dyson: Specifically engineered to evenly heat a whole room, the new Dyson Hot fan heater can be set between 1 and 37 degrees celsius.
Kitted out with an intelligent thermostat, when the heater reaches the desired temperature it automatically switches off. It then monitors the room by measuring the temperature of the surrounding air. If a drop is detected, the heater turns back on to maintain the set temperature, making it ideal for maintaining a constant temperature in a treatment room or relaxation space.
The Dyson Hot was created following three years of research, development and testing of Dyson's patented Air Multiplier technology for its application in a fan heater.
