Kids love to stick their tiny fingers into fans, and now they can without causing any undue stress to the parents. Welcome to the award-winning Dyson Air Multiplier (AM)—the remarkable bladeless fan. Perks include it being much easier to clean than the old gunk-gatherers, a dimmer switch, and a groovy touch tilt for the smaller version. Available at electronic stores in various metallic colors—the more ambitious pink and blue ones are online only. The standard AM01 Table Fan, of 30cm diameter, is a cool ¥39,000, while the larger, remote-control AM02 Living Fan costs a breezy ¥54,000. Heaters—and even hot/cold models—are also available.
