How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Drama With The Thermostat

I live in the suburbs in a house with a temperamental cat, a diva dog, an understanding Hubby and two teen girls.  I watch my share of soaps (don’t judge, it happens). I may even have done my fair share of “head shaking” at the women who don’t know how to use the carpool lane.  I know drama.  What I never expected to have to deal with?  Drama with the thermostat.  Yup, you read that right.  You see, I live in a house that is not even 30 years old, you would think things around this place would be in pretty good order.  They aren’t.  In the last seven years we’ve had to replace windows, the roof, the furnace and the air conditioner.  But it seems try as we might, no matter what we do, someone (not pointing fingers but mainly me) is never happy with the temperature of our house.  At least once a day I find myself wandering over to that little white box on the wall pondering the ramifications of just nudging the temperature up a degree or two.  You know, because winter has lasted forever.  In the winter my bedroom is always cold.  My feet like bricks of ice.  My Hubby no longer finding it “cute” that I warm my blue toes on his legs when I crawl into bed.  In the summer, the upstairs of our home is like a sauna, the main floor not much better.  So when I was asked if I wanted to try the Dyson Hot + Cold I accepted without a moments hesitation.

Here is how this innovative product has changed my life!

My favourite features of the Dyson Hot + Cold:

The only fan heater with Jet Focus control. It provides focused mode for long-range powerful airflow, or diffused mode for wide projection.  This allows me to direct the heat or cold to one area or disperse around my space.  In other words, right at me.

Long-range powerful airflow.  Select focused mode to channel and direct a powerful jet of air for long-range personal heating. No more sitting in front of the heater.  This heater will warm the entire room!

My favourite part of this little marvel.  It heats and it cools!  Effective all year round the Dyson Hot + Cool™ fan heater heats rooms quickly and evenly, and in warmer weather, it cools you effectively.  In cooling mode, the Dyson Hot+Cool™ fan heater keeps you cool with powerful airflow.   It’s effective all year round, so you’ll never need to put it away.

Reaches the entire room.  The Dyson Hot + Cold provides fast whole room heating in the winter and high velocity air to cool you in the summer. Using Air Multiplier™ technology to amplify surrounding air, AM09 projects heat further than conventional fan heaters. It heats the whole room – quickly and evenly.

Precise, energy efficient heating.  In heating mode, the intelligent thermostat monitors the room to reach and maintain the target temperature – no wasted energy.  Once your room is at the set temperature, the Dyson AM09 will switch itself off. It will then switch on and off intermittently to keep the room at your target temperature. It does this quietly!  This helps to save energy and prevents the room from overheating.  This also saves me money!

Perfect for night time use.  It’s very quiet and has an intelligent temperature control and sleep timer.  Using an intelligent thermostat, the Dyson Hot+Cool™ fan heater maintains your target temperature while you sleep. Or you can set it to turn off using the built-in sleep timer. It has automatic cut-out and it’s the only fan heater with Quiet Mark accreditation – so it won’t keep you awake.  No more waking up hot and bothered because you’ve left your space heater on and are overheating, or freezing cold because your air is running to high.  The temperature is kept at a consistent temperature of your choosing.

It’s safe. There are no fast-spinning blades for little fingers or pieces of material to get caught in.  Another safety feature, if the Dyson AM09 tips over it automatically shuts off.

It’s pretty.  The Dyson Hot + Cold Am09 is a sleek silver with a contemporary style.  It blends in effortlessly in almost every room in my house.  Great in the chilly family room, fabulous in the cavernous bedroom, adding style and warmth or chill as needed!  Even the handy remote control is stylish.

 

The Dyson Hot + Cold was simple to set up, a snap to get started, and most importantly has improved the quality of our day to day life.  My verdict: Life is better, and more comfortable, with a Dyson AM09 in it.  This one is SassyModernMom approved.
