Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool (PH01)

The humidifier-purifier is made in a recognizable design for the Dyson brand. Many branded sinks, air cleaners and heaters have a similar form factor, including the Dyson AM09. The model is quite large and not light (8.3 kg), but it looks stylish and original in most interiors.

Get to grips with Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool with easy-to-use controls. There is a remote control with a magnet that allows you to fix it on the humidifier body (and not lose it). And for clarity, a colour screen is offered, which displays the current values of humidity and temperature, various air quality parameters, tips for cleaning / replacing filters.

Cleaning and ventilation

The device supports auto cleaning mode, as it is equipped with a sensor for detecting contaminants, including small particles, exhaust gases, allergens and pathogens. When the air quality drops, the model will automatically turn on or increase the current intensity of work. And the combined filter (charcoal + HEPA) is responsible for collecting various contaminants.

In addition to the purifier, Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool is able to act as a fan. Thanks to the movable openings (curtains), different blowing modes are offered: a simple forward flow, a diffuse feed with synchronous movements, or a so-called “breeze” with out-of-sync manoeuvres. And if forced ventilation is not required, then the shutters can be closed: the purified air will exit from the back of the case.

Water purification and effective humidification

To humidify the air, fill the 5-liter removable tank with water. The hygrostat allows you to automatically "keep" the required level of humidity. Although, if desired, the user can adjust the intensity manually: at the maximum speed, it reaches 340 mL / h.

It is important that the water is subjected to additional hygienic treatment. First, thanks to the UV lamp, a kind of sterilization is performed. Secondly, the evaporator (humidifying filter) provides silver threads. They must also resist the formation of bacteria and unpleasant odours when idle. By the way, the filter itself does not require replacement, and if a lot of scale forms on it, then a special deep cleaning procedure will be offered.

The disadvantages of the device include noisy operation. At maximum fan speed, noise reaches 62 dB. Night mode (up to 42 dB) will allow you to achieve relative acoustic comfort, provided that you are not a very light sleeper. Another disadvantage is the high cost. But given the exclusive fan function, original design and Dyson's excellent reputation, the price seems quite justified.
