Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier: Pros And Cons
The Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier is the latest Dyson Pure Hot + Cool series version. Unsurprisingly, the device is so popular. One of the reasons is that it can do three jobs even though it’s only one. Even though its price is somewhat high, the upgraded fan power it has is enough reason not to think twice about paying more.
Furthermore, the device’s claim to fame is its purification mechanism. It doesn’t just trap 99.95% allergens like pollens and dust, but also different volatile organic compounds, diesel or petrol fumes, and those that stem from flat pack furniture & cleaning products.
Pros
Cons
Dyson HPO4 Design, Size, Placement
The Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier’s design is the same as the other compact air purifiers that are part of the Dyson lineup. It has this fantastic all-white body with some silver-colored accents –just like an accent trim and its base.
Unlike other oval-shaped air purifiers that take lesser space than the round amp yet cannot move the same amount of air, the Dyson HP04 is more powerful.
It’s also taller than its predecessors, which is 30 inches in height. Further, the amp’s diameter may increase to 8 inches, rather than the 6 inches in the past.
Moreover, the device’s LCD is now placed on top of the air intake grill, and it’s overall clean and detailed compared to the previous models. The new LCD displays information regarding the current indoor air quality and humidity level.
With its new size, the unit is also much heavier –up to 12.35 lbs. nonetheless, it’s light enough to move all around your home.
How Does It Work?
The Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier breaks down different allergens and contaminants in four (4) buckets.
The first two (2) are microscopic particles, PM 2.5 and PM10. The third is volatile organic compounds, potentially dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde or benzene. And the last is nitrogen oxide or NO2, which may contribute to conditions like asthma.
Moreover, Dyson HP04 features the latest glass HEPA filter. Just like the older Dyson air purifier models, the Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier will utilize one air filter to clean the air. It also includes an improved 2-stage air cleaning system.
- True HEPA Filter –With its glass HEPA filter, Dyson HP04 can capture 99.97% of any airborne particles –even those as small as 0.3 microns, including pet dander, bacteria, and pollen.
- Activated Carbon Filter –The Dyson HP04 can neutralize household odors and gases like benzene, nitrogen dioxide, and formaldehyde.
Dyson will leave you with a space free from dust and foul odor, not to mention the different allergens that may harm your health.
Dyson HPO4 Key Features
The Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier has a lot of unique features, including the following:
-
Multi-Functionality
It works as an air purifier, a heater, and a fan. It also features an astounding purification mechanism.
It does trap not only 99.95% allergens like pollens and dust but also traps various volatile organic compounds –VOCs, diesel, or petrol fumes.
-
Multiple Control Methods
It can be controlled via different control methods. You may control the Dyson HP04 air purifier using the following:
- Remote control
- Smartphone-based application control through the Dyson Home app
- Voice Control through Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa
It also has a digital screen that displays the device’s current settings. This includes the current air quality and the room temperature so that you may see real-time results.
-
Auto Mode
When in Automatic or Auto Mode, the Dyson HP04 will use its built-in sensors to automatically detect the current air quality and adjust the settings as necessary. This might include increasing or reducing the fan speed.
-
Night Mode
In Night Mode, it can operate at a lower decibel level and dim all the lights & digital screens. This mode is handy, especially when you want to sleep peacefully.
-
Custom Mode
In this mode, you will manually adjust the heat settings or fan speed using the arrows on its remote control or setting the target temperature. You may also change the airflow direction and oscillation angle from 0 to 350 degrees.
Dyson HPO4 Noise Level
One great benefit of having the Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier is its super silent operation. Its noise level is measured within the 40-57 decibels range. That is considered ‘silent.’ Unquestionably, this isn’t the best quiet air purifier, yet it sure is promising.
Furthermore, the airflow is smooth and even awarded for its improved sound and quality with the ‘Quiet Mark.’
The Dyson HP04 is a great air purifier to use nearly anywhere –in your office or bedroom.
Dyson HPO4 Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) And Coverage
The Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier promotes 83 gallons per second or 665 cubic feet per minute of airflow. That is its air output, including the Coanda effect at a maximum fan speed of 10.
Dyson doesn’t care about CADR ratings; they make their own independent tests as they say higher CADR rating air purifiers work worse than their air purifiers.
So it makes it a bit harder to compare to other brands and measure room coverage. Others say it covers 400 square feet, but I made my own calculations and investigation and come to conclusion it can clean air 5 times per hour in a 240 square feet large room.
Who else can cover that? Bissell Air280 Max, VEVA 8000 Elite Pro Series Air Purifier, AirDoctor 1000, and AirDoctor 2000. Based on price and performance, AirDoctor models are winners but keep in mind that only Dyson offers heater and fan functions as well.
Dyson HPO4 Maintenance & Upkeep
The Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier’s maintenance and upkeep are also relatively easy –thanks to its intelligent self-assessing design. Particularly, the device’s filtration system is being monitored by a certain internal system, which may alert you when it’s already time to replace it.
Furthermore, in maintaining its filter, you may also wipe down the body of the Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier to keep everything running in order.
Final Say
Considering all its specs, performance, and features, the Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier is a good air purifier. The significant drawback probably about this is that it is pretty expensive. But, just like the case with most Dyson products, you will surely get what you pay for.
With its multi-functional capacity to purify the air, cool, and heat, all in one unit, which might be controlled through your smart devices, remote control, or automatic mode, it is sure a solid package is truly worth your money.
