    They do not. For a given power input they produce less airflow at lower velocity than a regular fan. They’re a complete scam.

        You made a claim first, so you should provide your citation first as well.

            Advertising for a product isn’t a citation. That article literally just repeats Dyson’s own claims. Do you have anything that actually tests that claim?

                You made an assertion. If you are unable to provide supporting evidence, we can assume that your assertion is incorrect without needing to prove anything.

            They’re “bladeless” fans are just regular fans with more steps. Those added steps introduce inefficiencies. Simple as that. If you wanted to make a fan more efficient, you could add a shroud close to the blades, but the energy cost of electric fans are already low enough that it really doesn’t matter.
