How to choose a Dyson Air Purifier for your home
Every indoor environment has unique air filtration needs. The function of each space and room in your house – whether it be cooking, working, cleaning or sleeping – can affect which particles and pollutants are present.
Monika Stuczen, Dyson Microbiologist explains the potential impacts of pollution on wellbeing. “Just because it is out of sight does not mean it should be out of mind. Microscopic dust particles like pet dander and dust mite allergens may impact your wellbeing.”
Read on to uncover the different forms of invisible pollutants, and the common household sources that emit them, to determine which air purifier best suits your space.
Types of pollutants in the home
Dyson’s research into air science reveals the range of indoor and outdoor pollutants that can make their way into the home. Some surprising sources of pollutants include:
Outdoor pollutants can also access homes through open windows and doors. Types of outdoor pollutants can include:
To effectively trap and remove these pollutants, Dyson’s latest technology are sealed to HEPA 13 standard1 to prevent pollutants from being expelled back into the room after they've been removed from the airflow.
What to look for in an air purifier
As with our vacuum technology, Dyson purifier filtration capability is achieved through the combination of airflow technology and filtration. Conventional air purifiers often only draw in and project a limited amount of air within each space. A Dyson air purifier projects clean air around the whole room2 using Air Multiplier™ technology.
Other features include:
HEPA filtration: HEPA, which stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air, is a standard of filter efficiency. To meet HEPA criteria, our machines remove a minimum of 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns3 and is sealed to HEPA H13 standard1. So what goes inside, stays inside.
Gaseous filtration: Aside from particle matter, indoor spaces in the home and office can generate potentially harmful gaseous pollution. Indoor sources can include VOCs released by household products such as cleaning sprays. Outdoor sources can include pollutants such as NO₂ from vehicle emissions and fumes, which can be brought in through open windows and doors. The Dyson air purifier range can help to create cleaner air through the use of an activated carbon filter, which captures gases4.
Noise: Advancements in technology means our range is now acoustically engineered to reduce turbulence, making our machines 20% quieter than previous models7. Night mode monitors and purifies the air continuously with the quietest settings, alongside a dimmed display.
Which air purfier is best for your home?
Now that you know what to look for in an air purifier, view the difference in Dyson purifier technology below or use our handy tool.
Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool™ Formaldehyde
Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool™ formaldehyde is equipped with solid-state formaldehyde sensing technology. Designed to capture ultrafine dust and allergens, as well as gases such as NO2 and VOCs, our latest model even destroys potentially dangerous gases including formaldehyde5
Formaldehyde is a potentially harmful pollutant associated with home materials like paints and furniture materials. The off-gassing tendency of formaldehyde means that it can go undetected in a home for years and it may be particularly prominent if you do a lot of DIY or have recently undergone a home renovation.

Filtration technology:
Three stages of filtration trap microscopic pollutants of differing sizes and structure. 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. Dyson has engineered a machine that provides accurate and successful sensing, capture and destruction of the formaldehyde. The solid-state sensor doesn’t dry out over time, lasting the lifetime of the machine.

Heating and cooling technology
Dyson engineers utilise Air Multiplier technology for whole room heating and purification2, while in warmer weather, a powerful stream of purified air helps to cool you down. Once the target temperature is reached, it automatically stops. Auto mode enables the machine to maintain a preferred room temperature and air quality level, while the machine can be entirely controlled by the MyDyson™ App and activated by voice control6.
Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool™
Equipped with advanced sensing and filtration technology, the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool captures particulates and gases, including cooking fumes, dust, pet dander and odours. The perfect companion if you have a pet or spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
With both heating and cooling capabilities, it also helps to regulate room temperature for improved sleep and wellbeing. The night mode function monitors, purifies and regulates air quality and temperature on the quietest setting and with a dimmed display, making it ideal for the bedroom.

Filtration technology:
Two-stage filtration captures odours and pollutants including VOCs, NO2, and particulate matter. The HEPA H13 standard1 filter removes 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns3 such as dust, pet dander or pollen. It isn’t only the filter which is sealed to such high standards, but the whole machine, to ensure pollutants remain captured. The carbon filter captures gases including VOCs4, which may be emitted from cleaning or personal care products.
-
Heating and cooling technology
Fast and even heating can be achieved across the whole room2. Once the target temperature is reached, the heating automatically stops, help to preserve energy. In warmer weather, a powerful stream of purified airflow can cool you down. Diffused mode purifies without cooling you, by diverting airflow through the back of the machine and maintaining effective purification.
Dyson Purifier Cool™
Dyson’s purifying fan captures dust and allergens, whilst projecting a powerful stream of cool, purified air. This supports the creation of an optimal and clean environment in rooms where you spend a lot of time, such as your living area or home office, improving the level of comfort in your home.
-
Cooling technology
Alongside air filtration, does the Dyson fan actually cool the air? The purifying fan uses a powerful stream of airflow to cool you down. The cooling effect results from air being projected from the amplifier at velocity passing over your skin. The higher the fan speed, the more powerful the airflow and cooler the air will feel.

Dyson Purifier Cool™ Formaldehyde
Dyson’s purifying fan with advanced formaldehyde capturing filtration. It combines a precise solid-state formaldehyde sensor with a unique catalytic filter that continuously destroys formaldehyde. HEPA H13 and activated carbon filters also capture dust, allergens, gases4 and other ultrafine pollutants. And Dyson purifiers have powerful Air Multiplier™ technology to purify the whole room.2
