How to choose a Dyson Air Purifier for your home

One of the major reasons to purchase an air purifier is to capture allergens. The best way to improve air quality in your home is to detect and destroy allergens that impact your health such as pollen, animal dander and dust. It’s important to understand which allergens a purifier can filter. Air purifiers with a HEPA filter are recommended, as they expose and remove everyday allergens, giving you the clarity and comfort of breathing cleaner air.

Hay fever affects many people around the world, notably in major cities where the pollen count is high. Seasonal allergies are commonly triggered by plants and grass – and many non-native trees are the culprit. London Plane trees are one example, typically planted along pavements and parklands in inner-city areas. Plant pollen can easily make its way into your home, either tracked inside on hair and clothing, or filtered in through open windows. However, using an air purifier for allergies like hay fever can help eliminate pollen and other harmful pollutants.

The longer your air purifier can operate, the better your results. Consider if you want your air purifier running constantly or in intervals. If your air purifier will be on frequently, contemplate the noise setting of the filtration. Thirty decibels or lower should allow a quiet night’s sleep. If your air machine will be operating in your bedroom, look for a purifier with a night mode feature.

When looking for an air purifier for allergies and asthma, room size is going to be a factor, so you should consider where your air purifier will be placed. For a bedroom or office, we suggest a small to medium-sized machine. For a living room or spacious open-plan kitchen setting, you may need a larger purifier to efficiently filter clean air throughout the whole room.

While animals can often induce allergies or asthma symptoms in humans, your pets can also experience allergies of their own in the form of dust mites, mould and pollen. If you notice your pet is sneezing a lot or scratching more than normal, they might be sensitive to airborne irritants – just as you can be. Along with other members of your family, you can use an air purifier for pets, protecting them from harmful airborne particles.

An air purifier is going to be most effective when it operates consistently in the home. If you plan to run your purifier throughout the day, it should be quiet enough that it doesn’t disrupt your lifestyle or work schedule. When sleeping, an air purifier should be below 30 decibels to avoid sleep disturbance. If you’re looking for a bedroom-specific air purifier, ensure it can be switched to night mode.

Modern developments in air purification offer more than just clean air. A range of purifiers now provide heating, cooling and humidifying capabilities to better suit the needs of a space. Determine whether you simply want air filtration or additional temperature benefits as well.

If anyone smokes in your home, consider choosing a machine that purifies smoke. Similar to allergens, smoke can also be eliminated from the air. Some purifiers will contain a charcoal or active carbon filter to support smoke removal and provide cleaner air.

Many manufacturers will deliver apps that can be synced to air purifiers. Such apps allow you to adjust the settings of your smart machine using a smart device. Apps like  MyDyson™ can also prepare and present air quality reports and will notify you if your purifier requires a new filter or maintenance.

included in the machine is three stages of filtration. A HEPA+Carbon filter removes odours and gases such as nitrogen dioxide, and 99.95% of particles such as dust mites and pollen as small as 0.1 microns³. Formaldehyde, a potentially harmful pollutant which can off-gas within the home, is captured and converted into tiny amounts of water and CO2

Air Multiplier™ technology projects purified air to heat and cool rooms evenly. Once the target temperature is reached, heating automatically stops. To cool the room quickly, over 290 litres of air a second are projected. Auto mode enables the machine to maintain a preferred room temperature and air quality levels, while the machine can be entirely controlled by the MyDyson™ App and activated by voice control⁶.

two layers of filtration capture ultra- fine dust particles, pollutants, odour and VOCs. The HEPA H13 standard¹ filter removes 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns³. It isn’t only the filter which is sealed to such high standards but the whole machine, to ensure pollutants remain captured.

heating and cooling can be achieved quickly and across the whole room². Once the target temperature is reached, heating automatically stops. To cool the room quickly, over 290 litres of air a second are projected. The diffused mode purifies without cooling you, by diverting airflow through the back of the machine and maintaining effective purification.

Alongside air filtration, does the Dyson fan actually cool the air? When heat increases during summer, it impacts outdoor air quality and pollution – which can easily filter into your home. So, in addition to comfortably cooling your home, this Dyson air purifier also protects your health and wellbeing.

Two stages of filtration capture pollutant and particles alongside odours and VOCs. The HEPA H13 standard¹ filter removes 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns³. It isn’t just the filter which is sealed to such high standards but the whole machine, so what goes inside, stays inside.
