Hi Carole - yes, that's the one, except mine cost £499.
It's not so much heavy as awkward to move, being quite tall.
I really like it and find the cool air it emits much, much better than the blast of air from a fan. It is more of a "gentle(but constant) breeze". There are 10 settings plus a night mode. It is an air purifier, which I probably benefit from as I have COPD.
As far as it being portable, that is its only drawback. It has no handle; you must NOT attempt to carry it by the top of the "loop" so must kind of manoeuvre it around the room by pushing against the filter cases at the bottom. So, I am slightly disappointed that I am unable to take it to the bedroom at night.
Having said that, the Vicks Germfree Pure Air Humidifier I use in the bedroom does a superb job in allowing me to get a good night's sleep and cools the air nicely, but I do think there should be some aid to moving the Dyson - possibly putting some wheels on the bottom and attaching a removable handle down the back.
BTW - You said you are depressed with the dreadful heat (and you're not on your own there) but a psychiatrist in today's paper says that, just like the winter SAD condition, there is a Summer SAD equivalent. Problem is that you can get some relief from the Winter thing by using a Lamp but there is nothing for the Summer thing.
If at first you don't succeed, sky diving isn't for you!
