Dyson Pure Cool MeTM personal purifying fan, reviewed

This product is both a fan and also an air-purifier too. As with many things from the Dyson laboratories, design and look has remained an important consideration, and it does have a mostly stylish look to it, albeit perhaps a little like a waste paper bin too. You would hope not to have unfamiliar guests reaching for it to drop in some scrunched paper – though as it has probably been years now since you had either a) guests to stay, or b) paper to ball up, neither of these situations may be an issue for you.

It is not disturbingly noisy, which is good. Better than those massive fans in dimly lit, insect stained ceilings where the blades lop around slowly, nosily and wobble in a way where you wonder if the fan is going to come down on top of you. As always the Dyson team have designed away those elements and this is a much more succinct and concise operator.

The fact that it purifies the air as well as delivering fan functionality is both a cool idea, and also one that makes you wonder, why did no one do this before. In this way it seems such a logical thing, but, until products like this came along, it wasn’t something that everyone was offering. It could also help for those with animal allergies, and, who knows, as covid-19 has shown to be air transmitted, maybe it will herald a new wave of air/purifiers that also help in terms of mitigating risk too? It is always interesting to see what the Dyson team comes up with, and this is a cool (terrible pun warning) addition to the stable.

More about  Dyson Core FlowTM technology, a transformation in air projection technology

For a personal purifying fan, a focused stream of air is crucial. Dyson Core FlowTM technology revolutionises the way we deliver cleaner air to your personal space. Inspired by the aerodynamic properties in the Harrier Jump Jet, Dyson engineers discovered that when two jets of air meet on a convex surface, they converge to create a high-pressure core and a focused stream of air. By harnessing this phenomenon, they developed a way to project a stream of precise and focused air to cool you and deliver cleaner air all year round.

Adjusting the dome at the top of the machine allows you to precisely control the angle of the airflow. The Dyson Pure Cool MeTM personal purifying fan also features 70-degree oscillation for even more customization.

HEPA filter captures 99.95% of particle pollutants 

The unique HEPA filter ensures no compromise in particle capture, so you can rest easy knowing cleaner air is being delivered to your personal space. HEPA media captures 99.95% of ultrafine particles such as pollen, mould spores and bacteria, and activated carbon absorbs and traps gases, odours and household fumes such as VOCs.

The HEPA filter will trap even the smallest of particles, down to 0.1 microns. That is 300 times narrower than a human hair.

Acoustically engineered for your personal space

Designed for your personal space, the Dyson Pure Cool MeTM personal purifying fan is acoustically engineered to be as quiet as possible. A layer of acoustic attenuation foam in the base of the machine absorbs excess noise from the motor.

To make sure it is pleasant to use in close proximity, our acoustic engineers have conducted more than 1000 tests in Dyson’s semi-anechoic chamber, measuring both sound volume and sound quality — and they test this when only 20cm from the machine. They also developed a new acoustic matrix to better reflect how people perceive the machine’s sound in the real world.

Intelligent light sensing for a good night’s sleep

Equipped with an intelligent light-sensing system, the machine actively tracks the ambient light and automatically dims or brightens the built-in LCD screen in real time to blend in with your surrounding environment. When the sensing system detects the space has become dark, it will automatically switch off the LCD screen. A sleep timer can be set so the machine will turn off after pre-set intervals ranging from 30 minutes to 8 hours.

By combining these features with concentrated air flow, acoustic engineering and a compact size, the Dyson Pure Cool MeTM personal purifying fan will keep you cool and comfortable for a good night’s sleep.

Key Features

Guarantee: Dyson Pure Cool Me™ personal purifying fans have a 2 year parts and labour guarantee.

Sleep timer: At night, you can set the sleep timer anywhere between 30 minutes and 8 hours. So you can keep cool and comfortable while you rest.

Built in LCD screen: The built in LCD screen shows your airflow speed, modes and filter life.

Smooth 70-degree oscillation: Set your machine to rotate from side to side, to deliver airflow through a 70? range.

Easy filter maintenance: Built-in reminders show you when your filter needs changing. It’s quick and easy to do, to ensure your machine is always working at its best.

Remote control: A magnetised remote control can be neatly stored on the filter and used to control the functioning of the product.

Prototypes: 120 engineers developed 2022 prototypes of the machine and sub-assemblies during development.

Build to last: 366 mechanical tests have been conducted to make sure the machine will stand the test of time.

Price and availability: Available from Dyson.ie.

Pollution sources at home

Bedroom

Pressed wood furniture can release formaldehyde.

Indoor paints can contain VOCs, which can be released as gaseous chemicals when they dry and potentially throughout their life.

Scented candles can release VOCs into the air as they burn.

Living room 

Outdoor air pollution such as tree pollen, particulate matter and city pollution can enter the home and may remain trapped there.

New furniture can contain polymers that emit VOCs.

Flooring can emit formaldehyde when new, and potentially throughout their life.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves can emit particulate matter during combustion.

Cats, dogs and other household pets can spread this microscopic material around the room.

Plants and flowers can release microscopic pollen into the air.

Kitchen

Cleaning products can contain household fumes and odours.

Gas hobs and the food-cooking process itself can emit fumes, odours and particles into the air.

Air fresheners and deodorants can contain VOCs, which can be released with the fragrance when sprayed.

Damp areas can contain mould and release mould spores into air.

About Dyson

• Dyson is a global technology company with engineering and testing operations in Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and the UK. Dyson employs over 12,000 people globally including over 5000 engineers and scientists – with an increasing proportion in South East Asia where production and operations also take place.
• Dyson is realising ambitious plans to develop new technologies with global teams focused solid state battery cells, high-speed electric motors, vision systems, machine learning technologies, and A.I.
• Dyson’s 67-acre campus in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, UK, is home to the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology, which opened in September 2017. Dyson is making a £31m investment into UK higher education to help overcome the shortage of engineers in the UK. The four year degree programme, free of tuition fees, covers the fundamentals of engineering in years one and two. It delivers electronics and mechanical engineering content in years three and four – all alongside a paid job within Dyson’s research and development team, working on real products, with leading engineers and scientists.
• In September 2017 Dyson announced that it had been working on a battery electric vehicle for three years. It announced that it would be investing £2bn into the development of the BEV for launch in 2021. The project builds on Dyson’s existing expertise in solid state batteries, motors, vision systems, robotics, HVAC and aerodynamics.
