Hello guys welcome to digit.in, I am Shubham Sharma and for my first video, I'm gonna
be reviewing the Dyson Pure Cool Link Air Purifier which is priced at Rs 39,990 in India.
As air pollution levels keep increasing day by day, there is a growing concern about being
exposed to the harmful particles and gases present in the air.
To address this concern, entire businesses have sprouted up with the goal of purifying
the air inside your homes and giving you peace of mind in the process.
Dyson is one such brand, which recently introduced its Pure Cool Link series of Air Purifiers
in India.
We have the larger Cool Link Tower model with us and we've tested it to find out whether
it is capable of cleaning the air as it claims or not.
The Dyson Cool Link Tower air purifier features a unique design as opposed to a majority of
air purifiers which I've come across.
Most purifiers draw in polluted air from near ground level and expel purified air from the
top.
Dyson engineers saw an opportunity here and came up with a clever design, which provides
the user with an additional feature over many other air purifiers.
The Dyson Pure Cool Link Tower sucks in polluted air from the bottom, from all sides, and blows
air from its approximately 2.2 feet long bladeless loop at the top.
There is a thin aperture running along the circumference of the loop, which spews air
and the device's design makes intelligent use of air pressure to blow out cool air at
a brisk rate using what the company calls "Air Multiplication" technology.
Simply put, the device creates a low-pressure area near and around the loop by directing
air over the curved surface of the tower.
The air around this low-pressure area rushes in and thus we get better airflow, although
only a portion of it is filtered air.
The air purifier comes with an Infra-red remote control, which can also be magnetically attached
to the top of the purifier.
For me, this is an added feature because if not for it, I would've certainly misplaced
the remote.
The purifier's physical remote features buttons for Fan Speed adjustment, Oscillation,
Timer, Night mode and Auto mode.
Most of the options are self-explanatory, but when switched to auto mode, the air purifier
makes use of two sensors placed on the rear.
One is a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) sensor and another is a dust particle sensor.
Both are said to collect real-time data on particulate and gaseous impurities present
in the air and automatically change the air purifiers' speed, which in turn affects
the rate of air filtration in the room.
Being an IoT device, the air purifier can also be connected to the Dyson Link app, which
allows controlling the device remotely, doubles up as a remote and sports some additional
features as well.
The Timer option on the remote can be set between 15 minutes to 9 hours, but I found
that the Scheduling option on the app is a better alternative.
I used the latter feature to start up the purifier at 11PM and switch off at 7AM automatically
every day.
One can also set multiple schedules, for morning, evening or as per their convenience.
The Dyson Pure Cool Tower has a rather simple process of replacing the air filter.
It is cylindrical in shape as it draws in air from all 360 degrees at the base.
It has two main layers, the outer one is a glass borosilicate HEPA filter, which the
company says is pleated over 200 times to increase the surface area for capturing particulates
present in the air, and can capture minute particles as small as 0.1 microns.
The second layer sits immediately behind it and consists of activated carbon granules
with Tris-coated graphite crystals that can trap harmful gases, household fumes, remove
odour and formaldehyde.
To replace the air filter of the Dyson Pure Cool Link air purifier, one simply needs to
detach the upper loop from the base by pushing down on the two buttons placed on its sides
and replace the older filter with a new one.
Now, let's talk about real-world tests.
I placed the Dyson air purifier in a 200 sq ft room.
Its performance and air cleaning efficiency can only be checked via the Dyson Link app,
or if you have an air quality monitor.
The app also shows the daily and weekly summary of air filtration performed in the room along
with the average air quality, temperature and humidity.
However, precise indoor AQI readings are not displayed and it ranges from Very Poor (301-400
AQI) to Good (0-50 AQI), providing a rough estimation of how polluted or purified is
the air being circulating in a room.
A newly installed filter is said to last for about 4300 hours or six months, depending
on the purifier's usage and the surrounding conditions.
The app also displays the number of hours left for replacing the filter and it also
doesn't require cleaning as it is supposed to be replaced once the time runs out.
However, I noticed that after two weeks of regular usage, the filter was dust-laden,
but it shouldn't impact the filtration efficiency of the purifier as the outer mesh is supposed
to capture bigger particles like hair, which could block the pores in the filter.
In my case, the app always booted up to display 'Very Poor' indoor air quality and took
about 20 minutes at full speed for bringing it down to 'Poor'.
It also struggles to normalise the air quality further as it took around 1.5 hours for the
room's air quality to go from Poor to Fair and never rose to Good.
As per Dyson, the purifier's sensors measure PM 2.5, PM 10 and VOC compounds, and only
when the three entities reach below the guidelines set by WHO, the app will show a change in
the air quality inside the room.
However, this also means that the air purifier was unable to rid the air of the three aforementioned
particles, even after running overnight.
It would have been helpful if the Dyson app showed the number of PM2.5 and PM10 particles
in the air so that one could tell if the air is clear of them or not.
Dyson could show these numbers through an app update, and we hope that in the future,
they will implement the feature.
One disturbing thing which came to my attention while tinkering with the Dyson air purifier
is that it never really turns off until it's disconnected from the power socket.
It runs on, what I presume, the lowest speed settings even after being turned off using
the remote, app, or via the physical power button placed on the device.
There is no mention of this on Dyson's website and I contacted Dyson's spokesperson to
know why this was happening.
As per the company, this is a feature called "Continuous Monitoring", which can be
enabled via the Dyson Link app.
After it's turned on, the purifier runs on the lowest speed setting, which is said
to consume 0.5W power.
I was also told that the effect of this on the filter's life is negligible as air is
mostly channelled through the two sensors that I've mentioned before.
The Dyson Pure Cool Link air purifier comes with a power consumption rating of 55W and
it will ideally consume one unit of power after running for 20 hours, which is same
as a standard ceiling fan.
The Dyson Pure Cool Link air purifier is easy to setup and use, well designed and is IoT
enabled.
However, it's slow at its primary function of air purification and given the tough, highly
polluted conditions in a city like Delhi, it struggles to deliver on the promise of
filtering out 99.95 percent of particles from the air.
The purifier comes at a steep price of Rs 39,990 and the replacement filter costs Rs
2,690, which in my opinion, supplemented with usage shown in the app and the layer of dust
gathered on the filter, in a metro city like Mumbai or Delhi, would need to be replaced
about every six months, if not earlier.
So, if you're ready to invest in the technology and want a stylish air purifier which stands
out in your home and also doubles as a fan, you can go for it.
However, if you want an air purifier which is comparatively inexpensive and can perform
similarly well, I suggest that you take a look at the Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2 or the
Kent Alps Air Purifier, the latter one in case you need great odour elimination feature
as well.
