Dyson - Purifier Hot+Cool Gen1 HP10

I have a Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP1. Paired it to Home Assistant with the Dyson integration and works beautifully.

Dyson has stock, got my gen 1 from the official website a year ago

i splurged and got the dyson air purifier that also works as a fan and space heater. personally, it was well worth the investment. i'm able to monitor the air quality, humidify and temperature in my home through an app.

It’s not necessary unless you have bad allergies or if there is smoke from some huge fire (knock on wood). I have Dyson combo fan/heaters with air purifier, so it’s automatically working when I use them.

I went to Costco to buy a winex brand for 500.00. When I got there the Dyson air purifier/ heat and cool were marked down from 600.00 to 200.00. So I bought two for less than one! I really, really like them.

Been using hot+cool since a few years and it makes my room so warm and toasty in winters.

I changed my filter after 2 years so I don’t agree with this. The technician just cleaned it and told me it isn’t as bad and I should continue using it.

**The Good** * **Longevity**"My Dyson fan/air purifier has been going strong for 10 years and it runs all the time." *(13 upvotes)* * **Quiet Operation**"Fan speed 1 is inaudible which is a shock to me.

When you see the filter, you will see just how much nastiness collects in there." *(19 upvotes)* * **Heating Function**"Haven't tried the purifier, but the hot+cool works great.

Some praise their longevity, quiet operation, and health benefits, while others criticize high cost, brand reputation, and questionable value compared to alternatives. The consensus suggests that Dyson purifiers work, but more affordable brands such as [Blue Air](https://go.shopmy.us/p-33552493), [Coway](https://go.shopmy.us/p-33553147), and [Levoit](https://go.shopmy.us/p-33552697) offer similar or better performance at lower prices. For those committed to Dyson, thrift stores are a popular source for substantial discounts. Across discussions, the most common advice is to prioritize **true HEPA filtration and sufficient airflow** rather than brand prestige or extra features.

I’ve got both a breville (for a medium sized room, cost about $100) and a Dyson hot+cool with purification ($545 on sale at JB now) and both are great and non-wifi!

A critical point often overlooked is that air pollution isn’t just an outdoor problem. Indian homes collect dust, PM2.5, pollen, VOCs from cleaning supplies, and smoke from cooking or incense. If you have allergies, asthma, pets, or live in a high-pollution city, an air purifier isn’t a luxury. it is a necessity. A high CADR air purifier is preferable over other ones. Additionally, use some plants indoors to regulate CO2 and O2 levels due to closed doors. Pick a purifier rated for a larger space than your actual room (e.g., buy a 1000 sq. ft. coverage model for a 500 sq. ft. room). This provides the necessary CADR headroom to quickly tackle sudden pollution spikes. Also, aim for a higher ACH since the AQI is often >100. AHAM/CADR info helps compare air purifier models. Preferably look for a model with good filter availability for long-term usage convenience. The following models are good to purchase, considering the above factors: If high price is not a problem but features such as a fully-sealed HEPA H13 filter (which is a great advantage), oscillation, and entire-room heating, capturing extremely small particles are a priority, [Dyson Air Purifier Hot+Cool](https://amzn.to/3L87KQQ) is a good choice. If you prefer something that's not noisy, easy filter replacement, and an amazing value for money product with a good cleaning rate, you can go for the [Coway 250](https://amzn.to/4ntdeTv). High CADR of 400+ m³/hr. Overall, great balance of performance and low noise (as low as 22 dB). If you're looking for a cheaper, long-lasting option and also quick air purification, you have [Cuckoo Respure](https://amzn.to/4oXxQ7z). High CADR 408 m³/hr. Good mid-range air purifier with value for money for those living in smaller houses, but high-pollution places. Has features such as a copper-infused HEPA filter to neutralize airborne microbes, viruses, and bacteria. [Philips Air Purifier Series 2000](https://amzn.to/3Lcnfr7) for good filtration, available spare parts, and a decent CADR of 380 m³/hr. Good for capturing ultra-fine particles as small as 0.003 microns, making it excellent for specific allergy needs and quiet operation. Focus on Coway's models for the long-term, as their 1.5–2 year filter life will save you significant money over five years compared to models with 6-month filter lifecycles. The effectiveness of DIY kits is a valid question. Yes, scientifically, they are effective. The C-R box is a cube constructed from four high-efficiency MERV 13 furnace filters (or higher) taped around a box fan. Studies show they have a CADR comparable to or better than some commercial purifiers, especially for larger particles. But they are also loud, bulky, and not designed for bedrooms. They are better suited for a large hall or office where noise is less of an issue. Bonus: Combine air purifiers with a [robo vacuum cleaner](https://amzn.to/47zwPwP) to ensure an even better dust-free experience, especially if you live in a very dusty place.

True and there is more to this. For people living in areas with very poor air quality, especially during NCR smog season, air purifiers can indeed make a drastic difference in terms of comfort and health. 1. Air purifiers can drastically reduce indoor air pollution caused by particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), dust, and allergens. Many users report feeling relief from symptoms like coughing, sneezing, eye irritation, and difficulty breathing after using an air purifier for a short time. Maybe not as early as a few minutes, but still the improvement is significant. 2. People with pre-existing respiratory issues, such as asthma, may find it particularly life-changing in terms of improving overall quality of life. For people who are looking to consider factors before purchasing an air purifier. Generally, electrostatic air purifiers are most cost-effective. [Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4](https://amzn.to/3JgbfUd) and [Lasko Electrostatic Air Purifier](https://amzn.to/45xVUpO) are good options in this segment. If you don't mind the high price but prioritize features such as a fully-sealed HEPA H13 filter (something that's mandatory), oscillation and entire-room heating, capturing extremely small particles, go for the [Dyson Air Purifier Hot+Cool](https://amzn.to/3L87KQQ) If you prefer something that's not noisy and a cost-effective product with a good cleaning rate, you can go for the [Coway 250](https://amzn.to/4ntdeTv) But speaking about adjusting to outdoor air, for portable air purifiers, go for [AirTamer A320 Rechargeable Personal Air Purifier](https://amzn.to/3H4EJnz) if you're looking for features. Additionally, you can also consider buying a [AQI reader/monitor](https://amzn.to/4fsfyrx) in case the air purifier is not fitted with one or you want a comparison.

We use the Dyson Hot & cool air purifier, definitely not the cheapest option but it saved us getting a fan heater for the few cold days we have in winter.
