Still working from home and missing the office aircon? Forgotten what it's like to sleep through the night without sweating? Yup, the hot weather has finally hit – so it's time to invest in a fan for your home. It'll help you get some kip at night and stay comfortable during the day. Features: This model really does do it all. Like the Pure Cool, it works to monitor your home’s air quality and, if it detects any anomalies, adjusts its power accordingly to improve the air condition until it stabilises. It can do this automatically, or manually via the remote control or Dyson Link app. The humidifier can also run automatically; just set your preferred level of humidity. There’s also 10 power levels to choose from with the fan.
Performance: Cooling-wise, the fan does work and there are 10 different speeds. Saying that, you need to crank it quite high for the hottest days, at which point I found it loud. I had to turn it right down from the most powerful setting while watching TV as the noise of the fan was competing with the television. In sleep mode, it’s capped at level three, after which it becomes rather noisy, which might not be sufficient on especially warm nights. Dyson’s fans have spawned a thousand copies since they first appeared on the market in 2009 but the company hasn’t rested on its laurels. Its design engineers have been hard at work and the Pure Cool Me is the result of their travails.
A quiet, elegantly designed and effective desk fan with air purification built in, but it’s pricey
Dyson effortlessly combines efficient purification with cooling. If you want an all-in-one device, then there’s nothing else quite like it. For those who suffer severe allergy problems, or need a larger, more powerful air purifier, however, there are better options such the Vax Pure Air 300 Air Purifier, which is slightly more effective, but noisier. Also consider the Philips Air Purifier Anti-Allergen. Verdict Performance: I was impressed with the cooling ability of this fan. Even on the lowest setting it provided noticeable cooling effects in my living room, which can get very hot as we have a large run of glazed doors that tend to trap heat. Using the night setting, my room stayed at a great temperature for sleep and the blades did not disturb me. I’m still as impressed with Dyson’s fan design today, as I was on seeing the very first model. Getting rid of the traditional fan blades in the head, and leaving a halo that you can put your head through means that the Dyson Pure Cool Link Desk looks incredible. Certainly, this is every bit the high-end fan that you’d want to have on display. You’re not limited to using the remote control, since this fan also hooks up to your Wi-Fi and can be controlled through the Dyson Link app. From here, you get access to all of the controls provided by the remote, so you don’t even have to get up to turn on your fan. The app lets you set a schedule, automatically turning the fan on or off to your pre-defined settings as you see fit. This can be handy to avoid the fan running when it isn’t required; in turn, this can extend the HEPA filter’s life.
Dyson’s penchant for problem-solving and expert knowledge of the home tech market stand it in good stead to continue to develop even more exciting new ground-breaking Dyson products in the future.
Dyson engineers are some of the most creative in the business, passionate about new ideas for home tech and always ready to try something that has never been done before. Overview: This fan basically does it all – It’s a fan, a heater and a purifier all-in-one. So, if you’re looking for something all-singing-all-dancing, this is it. Dyson claims that this fan automatically senses particles and gases, capturing 99.95% of ultrafine particles, then pushes out purified air around the room (including formaldehyde, if that’s something that may concern you – although we’d hope not). This is helpful if you live somewhere where there’s lots of pollution, or if you suffer with hayfever. Functionality-wise, this fan is more basic than the Dyson. It has three speeds and can oscillate 180 degrees, if you choose, and there’s a sleep mode that keeps the fan on the lowest setting. But I loved this fan’s smart features. You can set timers and other automations, like getting the fan to turn on when the temperature reaches a certain level,
Features: It’s just a fan, but it does have two speeds. The main feature, I would say, is that it looks great. Unlike the other models we tried, this one’s retro design is made from sleek metal, making it far less of an eyesore than your standard plastic tower model. If you’re big on aesthetics, you might like it, then, but if you value technical features or having more control, it won’t be for you. In terms of its humidifying function, our tester suffers from dry skin, and so upped the relative humidity target setting to 50% to see if it made a difference. Once it reached this level - which took a few hours - our tester noticed that the skin on their hands did feel softer. The increased humidity also improved static charge when getting dressed, which was a welcome bonus! Dyson offer their customers lifetime support, no additional costs, and a two- or five-year guarantee. Through building customer trust and brand loyalty they have managed to connect with their audience to offer household products that many are now unable to imagine living without. The dome part can easily be lifted up to access the single part filter (provided solely by Dyson), which Dyson claims is capable of capturing gases and 99.95% of ultrafine particles in its activated carbon and glass HEPA layer. It’s one of the easier filters to replace as a result, even if it is a bit pricey.Performance: It works just fine. Whether sleeping or working, it kept a constant stream of air blowing which worked to keep me at a decent temperature while I was using it. On the higher speed it is rather loud, but not intrusively so if you’re keeping busy. Listening to a podcast or having the TV on as I watched helped to distract from the sound and I didn’t find it intolerable. As for the heater, obviously during a heatwave, you’ll not be so concerned with this but when I tried it, I was more impressed with it than with the cool air setting. It noticeably heated up my large kitchen-diner in about two minutes flat on a medium setting on a chilly day – I was genuinely surprised by its efficiency. The only potential minor issue is in the middle of winter, when it’s unlikely that you’ll want the cooling effect of a fan blowing over you; you may need to reposition the Pure Cool Link in colder weather. Dyson Pure Cool Link Desk – Alexa
It’s not the most powerful fan we’ve used, even at its top speed setting – if you’re sat on the other side of a larger room, it’ll feel a bit lost. But it’s one of the few fans of its size that can take control of a smaller room without its output noise being too much of a distraction. It’s perfect for staying cool overnight as a result, without disturbing sleep. Set-up: There is a little required assembly but putting it together was easier than with the Airgo (featured below) and I could do it alone. I just had to slot the filters onto the frame, which took all of five minutes. Pairing it with the app took another minute or so. You can control it with Alexa, too, which took me a little longer to get to grips with – but that’s more on me then the fan. As there’s no purifier, naturally, this fan didn’t help my hayfever symptoms. In fact, some experts say that sleeping with a fan on can actually exacerbate symptoms by helping to circulate dust and allergens around the room. So, if you really suffer, I would recommend opting for a purifying fan. Aesthetics: Fans are never the most attractive things, but this one is the best-looking we’ve seen. Its modern, bladeless design and large cooling loop makes for a talking point. The bold, contemporary look might not be to everyone’s taste, but it fits in well with my modern white kitchen units. I also prefer the gold finish you get with the heater/cooler model more than the silver of the pure cooling types. The remote control sits neatly on the top, fixed with a magnet, so you won’t lose it.For air purification, Dyson doesn’t quote any Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) figures. Instead, the company says that the fan removes 99.95% of particulate matter (PM) below 0.1µm, and it can capture harmful gasses and eliminate odours. PM can penetrate lungs, causing respiratory problems and is a source of allergens. There’s a screen on the body which shows you various pollution levels (it’s really interesting to see the levels spike when the toxin levels increase, like when the oven is on!), as well as the humidity, temperature and when the filters need replacing. Since its inception in 1978, Dyson has risen to become a true British household name and brand – all thanks to a relentless drive for invention and a refusal to give up. The voice control is also a useful feature for these ongoing working-from-home times; it was a great time saver to be able to turn the fan on and off from my seat without having to get up and faff about with it (yes there’s a remote, but it’s never to hand when you need it, is it?).
