Dyson Pure Hot + Cool Cryptomic HP06
The Dyson Hot + Cool Cryptomic is a visually striking air purifier that melds aesthetics with effective air purification and a space heater. It's unapologetically expensive, but makes up for it with a product that is a statement piece both in design and functionality. However, most people would be served equally well with the HP04 that packs almost all the same functionality for a lower price.
Air pollution is no joke. Anyone living in a major metropolitan city, especially in Asia, knows about the perils of high AQI levels. Come November, New Delhi, where I reside, turns to pollution central. These hazardous air pollution levels are accompanied by potential health problems like coughing, colds, pain in the chest, asthma, and more. In fact, long-term exposure to air pollution leads to the death of over 1.67 million people in India every year.
In light of that, air purifiers have become the norm. They are no longer considered an optional luxury. Personally, I have one installed in every room of my apartment.
Xiaomi might be responsible for the democratization of clean air, but the Dyson Pure Hot and Cool sits at the opposite end of the spectrum. The Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 3 is a utilitarian box that serves just one purpose. Dyson's solution, on the other hand, is to create an air purifier that adds to the visual identity of your living space and serves double duty as a cooling fan and a space heater.
Are the Dyson air purifier's design, functionality, and most importantly, air purification function enough to justify the sky-high price? We find out in the Android Authority Dyson Pure Hot and Cool Cryptomic HP06 Air Purifier review.

Design: Making a statement
Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority
The Dyson Pure Hot and Cool Cryptomic rehashes the design of the HP04 model that we reviewed earlier in the year, and that's for good reason. Dyson's latest isn't a ground-up redesign. It is more of a subtle update with just one new function. In fact, the only real design change you'll spot is the new dull gold color.

While I'm personally not a big fan of bling, the hue chosen is very subtle. It doesn't stand out in an off-putting way in my apartment.
Nevertheless, unlike the Mi Air Purifier 3, this is not a purifier that you can tuck away discreetly. The Cryptomic's design continues to make a statement. The tall bladeless fan commands you to place it front and center, while the perforated mesh filter looks modern enough.
The Dyson Pure Hot and Cool is designed to be a statement piece instead of being tucked away in a corner.
The Air Purifier sits about 30 inches tall and can freely oscillate at up to 350 degrees for wider dissipation of air. However, you can limit this to as little as 45 degrees using the app. Additionally, the tilting base offers an extra degree of freedom to set the airflow exactly where you want it.

The Dyson Pure Hot and Cool Cryptomic is first and foremost an air purifier. It defaults to a steady stream of cool breeze the moment you switch it on.
In fact, it's a bit surprising just how well it works just as a fan. The Dyson is more than capable of keeping you cool all the way across an average-sized living room at full blast. However, it can get pretty noisy at anything above level 5 in the settings, so you might want to keep it toned down.

The other mode, as the Hot and Cool name suggests, is active heating. While in cooling mode, the Dyson simply recirculates ambient air. The heating mod, on the other hand, involves ceramic plates that are very capable of creating a warm and cozy draft.
The heating mechanism in the Dyson Pure Hot and Cool is very effective at heating up or maintaining the temperature in a living space.
I found the heating mechanism to be surprisingly fast and effective — an important feature in Asian markets where central heating is more or less non-existent. Unlike old-school space heaters or oil-filled radiators, the Dyson isn't just significantly faster at heating up a living space. It also has none of the accompanying odor or stuffy feeling which is a definite win in my books.

Finally, all essential functions can be controlled via the included remote. It has been color-matched to coordinate with the gold base of the filter. Like the HP04, the remote magnetically attaches to the top of the air purifier and is powered by a CR2032 battery which should enable long battery life.
How well does the Dyson Pure Hot and Cool Cryptomic work as an air purifier?
Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority
I suppose there's something to be said about the genius of creating a product that serves three different roles over a single function air purifier, but I digress.
It's easy to forget that the Dyson Pure Hot and Cool is also an air purifier. In fact, that is its primary function, and as you'd expect from a premium product, it does the job very well. I had the opportunity to test out the air purifier while New Delhi went through a severe phase of air pollution, well above the 1000 AQI mark. That's hazardous by any measure.
Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority
The Dyson, performed with aplomb. It did a brilliant job at maintaining AQI levels below the 40-50 mark during the worst of the pollution. It was able to bring this down to an average of 15 once ambient air pollution levels subsided.
The air purifier sports a pair of filters to do the job. This includes a HEPA glass filter as well as an activated carbon filter which can purify 99.7 percent of air pollutants.
New to the Cryptomic is the ability to cleanse out formaldehyde from the air. The chemical can be an irritant to skin and eyes. It is found in materials like particleboard, plywood as well as paint.

A few decades ago, the concept of an air purifier sounded absurd. But today, it is one of the most important devices to have. Thanks to the ever-increasing pollution, gone are the days when we could breathe fresh air in closed spaces without worrying about our lungs. But fresh air does not have to be a luxury you get only in mountains and nature. That is what good air purifiers are for. They remove the air impurities at high speed (known as the clean air delivery rate) to give you purified air in no time. This helps you to breathe easier and also keeps respiratory issues at bay. Talking of respiratory issues, it becomes even more critical for people with such problems to use air purifiers to improve air quality because the risk prevails even in small spaces. An air cleaner with an excellent clean air delivery rate (CADR) can come a long way in helping with that. The top air purifiers use a True HEPA filter as an activated carbon filter and a pre-filter to bring maximum purification....

Okaysou AirMax 8L Air Purifier Review – The Gadgeteer - The Gadgeteer Okaysou AirMax 8L Air Purifier Review – The Gadgeteer - The Gadgeteer Posted: 30 May 2020 06:32 AM PDT REVIEW – I have reviewed several air filters over the past few months. I have come to find that a big part of getting the right air filter is getting one correctly sized for the room you are filtering. It also matters as to what types of things you are trying to filter out of the air. Are you filtering toxins, animal allergins, food smells, or thinks like smoke from tobacco products? I had just reviewed a smaller Okaysou air filter, the AirMic4S , when I was asked if I wanted to review the larger AirMax 8L. Of course, I said yes, so let's see how it worked out. What is it? The Okaysou AirMax 8L is an air purifier with a HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of the air pollutants. It has two different filters inside the cabinet. One is carbon and the ...

Air Purifiers Are Not Too Effective When Struggling Against Viruses - Gizchina.com Air Purifiers Are Not Too Effective When Struggling Against Viruses - Gizchina.com Posted: 16 Feb 2020 02:51 AM PST Affected by the current epidemic, some users will choose to use air purifiers to improve indoor air quality and prevent virus transmission. However, at today's press conference of the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism, some experts said that using an air purifier may not necessarily filter out viruses. Feng Luzhao, a researcher at the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, 'Air purifiers commonly used in the market are composed of fans and filtering devices. The fan sucks in the air in the home. And the filtering component filters out various pollutants through adsorption. Then it exhausts the filtered air. There is no requirement for the killing rate of viruses or other pathogenic microo...

In June, I published a review of the IQAir HealthPro Plus. This is a highly capable air purifier using HyperHEPA filtration technology that's been proven effective at scrubbing everything from pollen and smoke particles to viruses like SARS-CoV-2 (the one responsible for Covid-19) from the air. IQAir's HyperHEPA purifiers have been used in hospitals for decades. The only downsides to the HealthPro Plus are its size and cost. However, the company has a much more compact and affordable option in the IQAir Atem desk air purifier. Why I Bought the IQAir Atem I work from home, don't venture out a whole lot unless I have to (having to arm wrestle the kids for one of the vehicles is a part of that), I have been good about masking indoors when I do go somewhere, and I have been triple vaccinated. Despite that, my number came up at the start of July and I tested positive for Covid-19. It quickly became an unpleasant experience. I isolated in my home office (which has a ful...
