A stylish fan and purifier with an excellent app, but as a purifier it cleans about like a $99 model while costing several times more, and filters are expensive.

Top complaints

  • Weak purifier for the price

    HouseFresh says it matches a $99 purifier's cleaning power, taking 62 minutes to clear its test room versus 54 for the Levoit Core 300, at a $649.99 list price. Wirecutter says none of the Dyson fan-purifiers it tested measured up well.

  • Expensive filters, little carbon

    HouseFresh says genuine filters cost $79.99 a year and contain little carbon, so strong odors may be hard to remove, and replacements create plastic and rubber waste.

  • Fan doesn't improve purification

    Wirecutter could not conclude that Dyson's fan function distributes filtered air better than a regular purifier.

What owners love

  • Best-in-class app

    HouseFresh calls the MyDyson app the best it has used for air-quality appliances, and auto mode reacted quickly.

  • Real fan, low noise for its output

    HouseFresh measured more than three times the fan output of the Blueair Pure Fan Auto, with low noise for that output, plus 350° oscillation.

  • Sealed H13 filter, 2-year warranty

    HouseFresh notes the HEPA H13 filter with a published lab certificate and a 2-year warranty.

Good for
  • Wanting a cooling fan and purifier in one
  • Polished app and auto mode
  • Design-focused rooms

Scores (tap for why)

  • Cleaning performance2.0
    Why 2.0?Cleaned slower than a $99 Levoit Core 300 in HouseFresh's test (PM1 CADR 94 cfm at top speed); Wirecutter found Dyson fan-purifiers underperform.
  • Quietness3.5
    Why 3.5?35.5 dB at the lowest speed and 54.4 dB at speed 10 (HouseFresh), low for its fan output.
  • Filter cost2.5
    Why 2.5?$79.99 genuine filter per year for a small-room purifier (HouseFresh).
  • Controls & app5.0
    Why 5.0?HouseFresh calls MyDyson the best app it has used, with responsive auto mode and a magnetic remote.

What experts say

  • HouseFresh: The best fan-and-purifier combo on the market, but disappointing as a purifier alone for the price.
  • Wirecutter (NYT): Dismissed: none of the Dyson combination fan-purifiers it has tested measured up well.
