In case you haven’t invested in modern air conditioning, dealing with the ongoing heatwave might be a challenge. Getting quality sleep or being productive at home becomes difficult when temperatures soar. An affordable solution to beat the summer heat is purchasing a budget-friendly fan, hoping it will provide some relief with its gentle breeze.
While a basic fan costs around £20 and serves its purpose, some may desire a more sophisticated and feature-rich option. Dyson has been renowned for creating premium fans for more than 15 years, offering models that not only cool the room but also filter the air, reducing pollutants like allergens, viruses, bacteria, and unwanted gases.
Given the scorching temperatures in my house, I decided to test the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 fan. This device not only circulates air but also purifies it. Living in a bustling city like London, the air quality challenges should give this gadget a thorough test. So, how did it perform?
It’s worth mentioning that the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 is not a discreet device that can be tucked away. It stands out with its large, bold design, clearly indicating the presence of a Dyson fan in your space.
Once switched on, the fanless system efficiently cools the surroundings. Unless set to maximum speed, it operates quietly and can oscillate to distribute air or remain stationary for focused cooling. The included remote control allows customization of the fan’s rotation as per your preference.
The front display indicates cooling levels, rotation speed, power, and the room’s air quality. The device alerts you to varying pollution levels – green for good, amber for worsening, and red for high pollution. If pollutants are detected, the Purifier Cool PC1 automatically tackles the issue. While this automated feature is convenient, personal health improvements may not be immediately noticeable.
Additionally, the fan comes with a handy remote control and offers full control via the Dyson app. Through the app, users can monitor air quality and set timers to automatically turn off the fan after a specific duration.
Undoubtedly, the Purifier Cool PC1 fan sets a new standard of sophistication in air purification technology. Its futuristic appearance not only enhances aesthetics but also ensures cleaner air for improved respiratory health.
The smartphone compatibility adds convenience, while the allergen removal feature provides peace of mind to individuals with allergies.
Although Dyson fans are top-notch, they come with a hefty price tag. The model tested here costs over £400, which may seem exorbitant, especially considering the transient nature of UK heatwaves. Unlike cheaper alternatives that can be stored away during colder months, the Dyson fan seems like a permanent fixture year-round.
While a basic fan lacks advanced features like air filtration and app control, it remains a practical and cost-effective choice. Despite its simplicity, it serves its purpose. On the other hand, Dyson’s premium model certainly impresses with its advanced functionalities and eye-catching design.
In conclusion, the Purifier Cool PC1 fan excels in performance. However, the steep price of £449 may deter budget-conscious buyers, unless they have recently struck the jackpot.
