Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up the Dyson Hot+Cool AM09 Tower Heater and Fan in Iron/Blue from Best Buy a couple of months ago, right as the Chicago winters started biting, and it’s been a reliable addition to my living room setup. I mainly use it as a heater to warm up the space without cranking up the central heating, which has helped cut down on my gas bills noticeably—I’ve seen about a 20% drop in usage since relying on this for spot heating during evenings. What I really like is how quickly and evenly it distributes warm air; the oscillation feature covers the whole room without hot or cold spots, and it’s surprisingly quiet, even on higher settings, so it doesn’t disrupt movie nights or conversations. The fan mode is a bonus for warmer days, and the sleek design fits right in with my modern decor without looking bulky. Plus, the remote control makes adjustments easy from the couch. On the downside, it’s a bit pricey upfront compared to basic heaters, and the air flow can feel a tad forceful if you’re sitting too close on the highest fan speed. But overall, for efficient, targeted heating that saves on energy costs, this has been a smart choice—I’d recommend it to anyone looking to supplement their home heating system.

I had a large tower fan that was obtrusive that I wanted to replace with a 3 season model. This Dyson fit that need. I liked the build quality and sleek look. The colors go well with my decor. At just under 24 inches, it is compact. So compact that I decided to put the Dyson on a small table I have - see the photo. The heat output is OK as long as you are fairly close to the Dyson. The fan only has more range and the fan pattern can be adjust from focused to diffuse. I’m about 7 feet away and the fan and heat are adequate. The Dyson has a small footprint compared to my former tower fan. The remote is very small and easy to handle. See the photo of the remote in my hand for sense of size and scale. Two issues cause me to rate this 4 stars rather than 5 stars. Issue 1 was the fact that the remote is required to operate this device. If you break or lose the remote, the only function you can control is on/off. I located a second Dyson branded remote for about $25 for the two seating locations in my living room. Reason 2 is that if I press the fan speed button upward or downward quickly, it activates my McIntosh MX-122 home theater preamp controlled audio system. That’s a really quirky adverse event that won’t affect many users but it got my attention. If I press the fan speed buttons slowly, it does not activate the McIntosh. Hence my 4-star rating. Overall, this Dyson unit is a better but pricier option than my tower fan. It looks good, works well enough from me and I can work around the shortcomings I described above. Hope this data helps!

I live in a 500 square foot house, maybe even a little smaller. Moved in about a week before I purchased this unit, house came with a cheap wall heater that didn't heat more than a few feet in front of it, and baseboard heaters in the bathroom and bedroom, very energy inefficient and they got too hot for comfort. In comes the Dyson AM09, this thing is a beast! I leave it plugged in and on all day, set at 65 degrees, it only kicks on when it needs to and it heats my entire house up. I leave it right next to the front door, and by leaving the bedroom and bathroom doors open, the whole house stays warm. It's dead quiet in the sense that when I'm gaming, I can't hear it at all. The small white noise it does make is kind of relaxing when reading or sleeping and it boots up.

Quit, pushes air well in a small room or space, heater works phenomenally, only reason why I gave the review a 4 is that you need to clean the air intake grate from time to time due to dust and it not having an air filter in it for the price it sells at. But I’ve loved mine and all of the features since I purchased

I got this as a replacement for the same unit I purchased five years ago. I didn’t feel it was producing the same results as when I bought it so I figured it was time for a new one. I use this little unit to heat a 10’ x 22‘ Second story bedroom. I set it on 72° and that is what it maintains. The temperature for the last two weeks has not been above freezing with Lows around zero. I put it in the center of the room and let it osculate and it cycles on and off. Have not seen a big difference to my electric bill. I feel this little giant is well worth the money. I can’t imagine winter without one.

This small heater puts out a lot of heat & yakes ip bety little space. Cool to touch ssfe atkund small kids.

i bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday because he doesn’t have a fan for his bedroom. i would absolutely recommend it. it makes the room perfectly cold or if you want the heater on it on it makes you warm.

We use this for our daughter’s nursery. It is perfect to keep the room at a stable temperature in a room that stays pretty cool. It had been safe and quiet option for us. Thinking of buying a second for our second child on the ways room.

Love it works well as a heater for the winter an fan through out the year

We bought this for our babies room to keeo the temperature consistent. It works flawlessly. It keeps his room at a steady temperature all night and we dont have to worry about it. It is cool to touch and perfect for our needs

Love this heater its a nice size doesn’t take up to much space

It’s quiet and powerful, just enough for a small room. I use it in my single hair studio.

I don't even know where to begin this review. This fan/heater is NOT AN AIR PURIFIER which is what you would believe if you searched for air purifier on Best Buy's website. Not only does this model come up in the search as an air purifier but all the specs list it as one even telling you what kind of HEPA filter it has. It does not have a HEPA filter because it is not an air purifier. Their website also says that it is compatible with things such as Google Assistant which it is not. I downloaded the Dyson app and tried to set it up with Google Assistant as suggested online. I can't say that Dyson is at fault because if you go to their website they list it as a fan/heater. Best Buy seems to be the primary place that lists it as an air purifier. I'm not sure if Best Buy is misinformed, saying it's a purifier just to push units, or has some other reason for listing it as an air purifier. This is just bad business on the part of Best Buy.

It works great it’s super quiet and it’s able to heat up and cool down my room super efficiently

Superb hot cold fan.., great for any room or office space… it will not disappoint!

Looks great, easy setup. Heating & cooling works great & feel amazing!

Attractive, well designed heater.. The remote magnetically stats with fan.

Excellent product, works great and looks wonderful in an office setting

Do not purchase, they falsely advertise this product and you are not getting what you paid for. There is no HEPA filter, and also this device does not connect to blue tooth, wifi, or alexa/google. When asked to return they told me there was nothing they could do. I purchased two of these and I am very dissatisfied.

Dyson Hot+Cool AM09 Tower Review The Dyson Hot+Cool AM09 is an excellent investment for anyone looking for a versatile, year-round climate control solution. It combines sleek design with powerful functionality, offering both heating and cooling in a single unit. Pros: • Efficient Heating & Cooling: The AM09 quickly heats or cools a room, making it perfect for seasonal transitions. The Jet Focus mode allows you to direct airflow precisely where needed or use diffused mode for even distribution. • Quiet Operation: Compared to similar units, it’s remarkably quiet, even at higher fan speeds. • Safe & Easy to Use: Without visible blades, it’s safer for kids and pets, and cleaning is hassle-free. • Energy Efficient: The thermostat function ensures it only uses energy when necessary, helping reduce utility bills. Cons: • Pricey: Like most Dyson products, the AM09 comes at a premium price point, which might not fit every budget. • Limited Cooling Power: While the cooling function is effective, it’s more suited for mild weather or personal use rather than cooling a large room. Overall, the Dyson Hot+Cool AM09 is an excellent choice for those who value innovative design, multi-functionality, and quiet performance. It’s a bit of a splurge but delivers in both quality and convenience.
