I have it, feel free to ask me questions as well! It’s worked great so far, getting it scheduled the way I wanted in the Dyson app was a little complicated but now I’m having a good time. My one issue is that speed 3 (out of 10) makes a weird high pitched sound, none of the other speeds do though.

Purchased it 2 days from exclusive access for Dyson owners email and received it the day of US release September 30, 2025 late afternoon. It sure is a dust magnet. Only cleaned it once since owning. Current filter life 99% electrostatic and 91% carbon, runs on auto but when at home it’s on 4 or 6 most of the day. In the late wee hours to give a better purification while deep asleep it’s kicked on schedule for 1-2 hours on 7 then goes back to 1. https://preview.redd.it/mb29f02vn6xf1.png?width=2472&format=png&auto=webp&s=160d9db88df12e6a49e1f9db7d8c9deaccc4b01d

I bought it and I like it better than the rest of my non dyson purifiers because of the 5 year Hepa filter, but mostly because I have a sound studio that is extremely quiet and all other purifiers are too loud. Fan speed 1 is inaudible which is a shock to me. You can control it from the app and it even tells you the filter life as a percentage. It has 2 built in sensors PM10 and PM 2.5. You can check your indoor air quality index relative to your outdoor air quality index via the app. This fan has 10 speeds which is the most I've seen and it has an auto fan feature as well which is what I use since my sister always burns her food when she cooks. It circulates the house and the Dyson ramps up speed to deal with it quickly. I love it, let me know if you have any questions for me.

I’ve had one in my home office for a few weeks and it’s nice. Not as sophisticated as my other larger Dyson purifiers in my main rooms but it’s quiet, powerful and easy to use. Also like that the filter has a long life.

I got it today. At speeds 2 and 3 there is noticeable whistling. at speed 4 it’s pretty quiet. I’ll give it a few days to decide if I want to keep it. At 4 it is quieter than my two tower purifiers at all but the lowest speed.

I think it’s the motor. But it could be wind, it’s hard to pin down.

I received a Dyson Hushjet today. First impression: quite disappointed. My biggest complaint is the noticeable, annoying hum it makes. Of course, it starts on Auto when you turn it on. My air quality was very clean, so the Hushjet ran at the lowest output level—and I'm tellin’ you, the hum is noticeable and annoying. I’m also disappointed by the fact that a lot of dust doesn't set off the air purifier. I tested it by placing the Hushjet right next to a table with a lot of dust. I used a rag to stir up the dust. The Auto setting on the Hushjet remained at the minimum air level. So, if you’re buying this to automatically sense a buildup of dust—don’t. I’ve had air purifiers in the past with Auto settings that do kick in when there’s a lot of dust in the air, but sadly, this Dyson is not one of them. If you want it to suck in dust, you’ll have to manually turn up the Dyson. Let’s talk about Dyson’s “quiet” claims. Sure, the lowest setting is ultra-quiet—but that’s because there’s hardly any air blowin’ out of the top. You crank this thing to Level 10, which is the max, and it ain’t as quiet as I expected it to be. At the highest setting, It really isn’t much quieter than other air purifiers, in my opinion. And with it only covering 200 sq. ft., you kind of have to keep it relatively close to where you sit most often—or in your bedroom, whichever room you choose. (To be fair, this Dyson is quieter than other air purifiers at the lower settings.) And finally, the five-year claim for the main filter is only possible if the Hushjet is kept at the lowest setting—because, again, at the lowest setting there’s hardly any air movement at all.

I am returning it for a refund, yes. At $350 plus tax, I'm not tolerating all the disappointment. I had high hopes for this, based on the claims made by Dyson. I agree with those that have said perhaps Dyson should stick with vacuums. I really like their new PencilVac, despite its limited use. (It's not perfect, but it's certainly very convenient to use.) Regarding the Hushjet hum: I imagine if someone has other background noise, or will use this at a distance, the hum won't be as bothersome as it was for me.
