Queen Elizabeth's fan

Queen Elizabeth's fan

Yesterday Queen Elizabeth II received Boris Johnson, the new prime minister of the United Kingdom, and some photographs of their meeting at Buckingham Palace were released: many have wondered, as perhaps many other times, why the queen had a handbag, given who was at his home, while many others have noticed a white and silver object visible in the lower right corner of some photos.

The object is a fan, cooler and air purifier from Dyson, the company of innovative, simple to use and beautiful to look at but also very expensive small appliances, founded by the British inventor James Dyson: the Dyson Pure Hot + Cool Link.

There has been some talk about it because Dyson's products are desired and loved by many people, but mostly because James Dyson was in favor of Brexit at the time of the referendum – like Johnson – although he has since moved his company headquarters from the UK. in Singapore. Dyson denied that the choice was linked to the possible consequences of leaving the European Union, as many have suspected.

In any case, for those interested in Queen Elizabeth's Dyson more than in the political ideas of its inventor: the one in the photo is not one of the most recent models and to be precise it is not a simple fan but a fan heater (it can cool or heat the air) and also acts as a purifier. It is about 60 centimeters high, is very quiet and can be connected to an app that allows you to analyze the air of the environment in which it is located. However, according to Wirecutter, the reputable New York Times item review site, it doesn't really stand out as a purifier, despite having a much higher-than-average list price.

Since it is not a recent model, it cannot be purchased from the Dyson website – where the new line of eight fans and heaters is available, with prices between 350 and 650 euros – but on other online stores, yes. For example on ePrice it costs 470 euros. Various sellers sell it on Amazon, but at higher prices. On eBay there is 380 euros.
