The Dyson Purifier Cool TPO7 is the best Dyson air purifier overall.
It actually functions as both an air purifier and a fanand it has the added bonus offiltering pet hair.
Keep in mind that the filter doesntremove VOCs from the air, which is a downside for the price.
During the pollutant test, PM2.5 numbers reduced drastically and at a fast pace.
On high, numbers went from 678 to 13.9 after five minutes, and 7.3 after 10 minutes.
We were impressed by how quickly itcleared smoke from the air.
The air purifier can be controlled by remote or an app that connects to the unit via WiFi.
It performed markedly better on high mode.
Set-up is quick, with doors that open and close to reveal the HEPA air filter.
However, it doesnt filter out pet hair.
While the purifier and humidifier work in tandem, the fan can be turned on and off.
We were impressed by how quickly the machine purified the air, but it performed better on high mode.

This bold blue and gold air purifier has a very distinctive look.
The best Dyson option for a large room is the Big + Quiet Formaldehyde BP04.
The purifier quickly turned the room from smoky and foggy to clear.
It also made our nose and eyes stop burning.
Pet hair, however, simply flew around the room.
We were impressed with how quiet it was (almost silent, in fact) when turned on.
While it does reduce PM2.5s, some smells lingered during testing.
It has the added bonus of functioning as both a fan and a heater.
The heating mode heats the room up evenly while it is purifying the air.
The gadget notifies you when its time to replace the filter.
On the low setting, PM2.5 numbers were lowered 64.63% on average.
On high setting, the numbers lowered 86.42% on average.
The difficulty in removing odors might be because the test environment was larger than the recommended square footage.
We think it would certainly function as a great all-in-one heater, fan, and purifier for a bedroom.
Our Testing Process
Weve tested almost 100 air purifiers in our labs and at home.
We narrowed down the top Dyson performers after examining the results from multiple tests.
The square footage of the space should be equal or less to what the gear can purify.
Carver also notes, Air cleaners should be placed in a spot with unobstructed airflow.
Keep it free of clutter in front and behind the appliance.
VOC Filtration
There are two common types of pollutants: PM2.5s and VOCs.
These gases get emitted into the air from various products or processes.
These typically require an additional carbon filter, which not all air purifiers contain.
