If you don’t own a high-tech air conditioner, dealing with the current heatwave can be a challenge. Trying to sleep or work in a sweltering environment is tough. One cost-effective way to stay cool in the summer is to purchase an inexpensive fan and rely on its gentle airflow to lower the temperature.
While a basic fan may cost around £20 and may not be aesthetically pleasing, it can effectively do the job. But if you’re looking for something more sophisticated and feature-rich…
Dyson has been producing premium fans for over 15 years, offering models that not only cool the room but also purify the air by eliminating pollutants like allergens, viruses, bacteria, and unwanted gases.
To put the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 fan to the test in the midst of a hot London summer, I decided to try it out. This device not only circulates air but also cleanses it. Given the urban environment, it had an ample task ahead. How did it perform?
Firstly, it’s important to note that this fan is not discreet. It’s large, tall, and makes a bold statement as a Dyson product keeping the space cool.
Once activated, the bladeless system swiftly cools the area. Unless set to maximum speed, it operates quietly and can oscillate to distribute air or remain stationary for focused cooling. The included remote control allows customization of the rotation speed.
A display on the front panel indicates the cooling level, rotation, and power, and also displays the room’s air quality. Green indicates good air quality, amber signifies deteriorating conditions, and red warns of pollutants. If the Purifier Cool PC1 detects impurities, it automatically works to eliminate them. While this automated feature is convenient, personal health improvements may not be immediately noticeable.
In addition to the remote control, the fan comes with full access to settings via the Dyson app, enabling users to monitor air quality and schedule automatic shutdowns.
Undoubtedly, the Purifier Cool PC1 fan is more advanced than any other I have used. Its futuristic design not only enhances the aesthetic but also ensures cleaner indoor air.
The smartphone control feature adds convenience, and the allergen removal capability provides peace of mind for those with sensitivities.
While Dyson offers a top-quality product, the price tag is substantial. The model tested here is priced at over £400, which may seem excessive considering the limited duration of UK heatwaves. Unlike more portable and affordable alternatives, the Dyson fan may need to remain in use year-round.
Although a basic fan lacks the air purification and smart control features, it serves its purpose and can be stored away when not in use. However, it may not impress visitors like the Dyson model does.
