That&#8217;s why I was really impressed by the the new <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.dyson.com\/fans\/fansandheaters\/heaters.aspx\">AM05 space heater\/cooler<\/a> from Dyson. It&#8217;s a completely quiet, blade-less system that comes in a black and nickel color scheme that looks like it fell off of Boba Fett&#8217;s Slave 1.<\/p>\n<p>The AM05 is the successor to the AM04 and is 33% more powerful. It has a stock simple remote control, a nice front temperature readout, and a tilting head. In short, it&#8217;s a Dyson product &#8211; a little expensive ($399 for a fan is wild), a little weird, and a lot high tech.<\/p>\n<p>I tested the device a bit over the past few days and it works a treat. Setting the heater in my cold attic filled the room up with hot air immediately and it looks and feels far safer than similar heaters. This is a fan I&#8217;d trust, say, in the kids&#8217; room.<\/p>\n<p>Why is this on TechCrunch? There are a few companies with both design and technology chops. Sonos comes to mind as does Apple. Bang &amp; Olufsen are also in that category. But I think what&#8217;s most important about a company like Dyson is that they took commodity hardware and made it alluring. Who hasn&#8217;t gone to Target and looked at some off-brand vacuum and stacked it up against the surprisingly expensive yet strangely beautiful Dyson. I like when Dyson makes new stuff because it proves that there are people out there still thinking about the future of things that suck and blow.<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/tctechcrunch2011.wordpress.com\/768057\/\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=xuFXDGjmmfo:4JyFukAma1I:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=xuFXDGjmmfo:4JyFukAma1I:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=xuFXDGjmmfo:4JyFukAma1I:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=xuFXDGjmmfo:4JyFukAma1I:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=xuFXDGjmmfo:4JyFukAma1I:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beautiful design and utility are, in many ways, paramount when it comes to home electronics.
