Stay Cozy and Clean: The Dyson HP07 Purifier That Cares for Your Family's Comfort! – As a parent of a 6-month-old and a 2-year-old, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for my little ones is a top priority. The Dyson Purifier Hot + Cool Fan HP07 has quickly become an essential appliance in our home. This multifunctional device not only purifies the air but also provides heating and cooling, making it perfect for year-round… Read more · 1
use. Here’s an in-depth review of its features, performance, and overall value for families.
Design and Aesthetics The Dyson HP07 boasts a sleek, modern design that fits seamlessly into any room decor. Its compact size and bladeless design make it safe for curious little hands, and its quiet operation ensures it won’t disturb nap times or playtime. The stylish finish adds a touch of elegance to our living space, making it more than just an appliance.
Performance and Features
Air Purification The primary function of the Dyson HP07 is air purification, and it excels in this area. It utilizes a HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of allergens and pollutants as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, and pet dander. This feature is particularly important in our household, where air quality can impact the health of our children. The real-time air quality monitoring gives me confidence that the air they breathe is clean and safe.
Safety for Kids Safety is a significant concern for parents, and the HP07 addresses this in several ways. The bladeless design eliminates the risk of injury from spinning blades, making it safe for both my 6-month-old and my 2-year-old. Additionally, the fan features a cool-touch exterior, meaning it won’t pose a burn risk even when operating in heating mode.
Timer and Temperature Detection The built-in timer allows us to schedule when the fan operates, providing flexibility based on our family’s routine. The temperature detection feature is also a game changer; it automatically monitors the room temperature and adjusts accordingly. This ensures that my children are always comfortable, whether it's hot or cold outside.
Auto Monitor and Heating Function One of the standout features of the Dyson HP07 is its ability to automatically monitor the air quality and adjust its purification settings. When the temperature drops below the set threshold, the fan activates the heating function, ensuring that our home stays warm and cozy during colder months. This feature is especially helpful during winter when I want to maintain a comfortable environment without constantly checking the temperature.
Cooling Function During warmer months, the cooling fan function is a lifesaver. The HP07 distributes a steady stream of cool air, making it easy to keep the temperature comfortable without the need for a traditional air conditioner. This has been invaluable during hot summer days, allowing my kids to play comfortably in the living room.
Noise Level The Dyson HP07 operates quietly, making it ideal for use during nap times and at night. The sound level is low enough that it doesn’t disrupt sleep, providing a peaceful environment for my children.
Ease of Use The Dyson HP07 is incredibly user-friendly. The remote control and app functions allows for easy adjustments from across the room, and the Dyson Link app enables us to monitor air quality and adjust settings from our smartphones. This feature is particularly convenient for busy parents who may need to multitask.
Pros and Cons
Pros - Effective Air Purification: HEPA filter captures 99.97% of allergens and pollutants. - Safety Features: Bladeless design and cool-touch exterior make it safe for kids. - Temperature Detection: Automatically adjusts heating and cooling based on room temperature. - Timer Function: Schedule operation to suit your family's routine. - Quiet Operation: Ideal for naps and nighttime use. - Smart App Integration: Monitor and control settings from your smartphone.

The Dyson Purifier Hot + Cool Fan HP07 has transformed our home environment, providing clean air and maintaining a comfortable temperature for my 6-month-old and 2-year-old. Its combination of air purification, safety features, and intelligent temperature control makes it a worthwhile investment for any family. If you’re looking for a multifunctional appliance that prioritizes health and comfort, I highly recommend the Dyson HP07. It has truly made a positive impact on our family’s quality of life!
Good product, but too expensive to use heating – Great to use as a fan or purifier, but use as a heater very wisely as it was costing us hundreds before we realised. Had a few issues as it kept coming up with the faulty sign. After many backwards and forwards trips to try and get it fixed, they eventually replaced it and haven’t had any issues with this one since. It’s easy to use and the app is very handy as well as it tells us info about the air, and even the filter needs replacing. Show details · 1
** Brilliant Machine ** – We bought the Product last year (Direct from Dyson) 18 months ago. We have a Reverse Cycle A/C in the Main Living Area & wanted something suitable for the Bedroom, quiet & efficient.. We are very impressed, Product kept the room Cool last Summer & now using the Heat Cycle for arrival of the Cold Weather. We turn Machine/Heat Off - once the room… Read more · 1
is warmed. In minutes it warms the bedroom & cools in the Summer. It can’t replace an A/C but….it works perfectly in a small enclosed room. We have 2 small Dogs sleeping in our bedroom…there is no Doggy Smell. Purifier keeps the air smelling fresh/clean Definitely recommend…!
Broke in 3 weeks – Bought online for $699 (30% discount from full price). It broke in 3 weeks! - It keeps shutting down after a few seconds. - Eventually it stops turning on altogether. Contacted Dyson support via Facebook Messenger, was given two options: - Go to a service centre; or - Get a paid postage label to return the product for a full refund under the 45… Read more
Day Money Back guarantee.
I end up going to the service centre who can’t get the purifier to turn on.
I returned the product for a full refund and have to buy a brand new one as they have one in stock. They let me keep the previous air filter.
Is it a good fan? Yes. Is the app user friendly? Yes. It works with Apple HomeKit. Is it worth the full price $999? Hell no.
Love all my Dyson products this is the Merc – Love this clean quiet heating & air purifier! My Russian Blue loves it too :-) Show details
Great machine But filter life hopeless – We ought a Dysonpurifier 2 years ago and it has been fantastic. So we purchased a HP07 hot +cool purifier less than 1 month ago and yes it is fantastic when it works but we now have to replace the filters after less than one month - NOT Fantastic especially as we probably used it mostly at night only. We don’t live in a particularly dusty place… Read more
and the older purifier coped with lots of smoke and we still haven’t needed to replace the filters. To add to our disappointment the filters for our new machine do not seem to be currently available. So very disappointing and the web site support is not much help
Excellent Fan/Heater/Purifier – I bought this during winter whilst working from home to warm the office space. It warms the room within a few minutes. You can specify the temperature you want and it will maintain this automatically. The timers and wifi functionality is amazing, especially when coming home during a cold day, you can turn the heater on from the App on your phone… Read more
before arriving and the space is nice and warm.
The purifier is excellent and takes all smells including kitchen cooking smells away. You can set it on auto and when it detects the air is not clear/clean it will turn on and filter until it is. This has been a great feature especially when there have been bush fires around and during spring in filtering the pollen from the air.
Overall i would rate this 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend to anyone with allergies or sensitivities to odours and smells.
Expensive but happy with my spend – Easy assembly, easy to install app on phone and to connect the device to the home wifi. Only had it a couple days now but already the purifyer is doing its job and the spring pollen sensitive partner isn't waking up tired with a dry mouth, blocked nose and puffy eyes. The heater quickly heated the bedroom before bed and then quietly filtered air… Read more
overnight using the diffuse setting. The sensor seems to think the air was and still is clean but this could be the calibrating phase that the manual refers to. The sensitive partner definetly noticed a difference.

I love this unit, it's not just another electric Space Heater – This product is very easy to use especially if you have used any smartphone before as it's all controllable from anywhere in the world direct from your smartphone which actually allows you to see what's going on in terms of the air quality in your home when you're away but also allows you to turn the heater on for your arrival for example or… Read more
schedule at for certain times a day. It is very straight forward to get up and running, I opened the box looked at the two filter halves pressed the button on the side of the unit which popped the covers off and it is self explanatory how the filters went in. I then pushed the covers back on, I never even had to open the instructions.
I have mine set up to preheat my bedroom to 18 degrees an hour before I go to bed it then shuts off and only turns on again during the night if the temperature in the room drops below 14 degrees. And then at 5 a.m. it turns on and brings the temperature up to 21 degrees so when I get out of bed everything is toastie - this kind of programming is a brilliant.
I was a bit sceptical about the units ability to read air quality but as it turns out it's not a gimmick in actually does read it and apparently quite effectively. For example when I am running my bbq smoker outside and I open the back door on the house the unit immediately registers the smoke in the house and the related particles floating around. It also detects any time we use an air freshener or aerosol or have any sort of door or window open it's really quiet interesting to see.
I really can't say that this heater has reduced the amount of pollutants in my home or reduced any odours from my pets or anything like that because I simply don't have an objective way to test these things. I can't say I have noticed a difference, whilst the graphs do show the air quality improved overnight, this happens whether or not the heater is on because you are simply doing less stuff and there is less environmental pollution at this time anyway so I can not suggest that there has been an improvement in terms of actual air quality only the ability to read it.
The heater in typical dyson fashion looks modern and sleek, is low noise and doesn't have the usually rattly bearing and shaft sound of your typical economy range heaters. The air flow out of the heater is actually quite strong and has enough projection to push across even a large lounge area and with the unit being able to swing almost an entire 360° you can be sure that you can cover just about any reasonable space in your home.
Now I know for many people heating costs are an issue and to be fair this is an electric element style heater and the and if required to heat the same amount of air is any other heater using an electric element it is going to be similar regardless of all the other high-tech features. If you are looking for a low running cost system this unfortunately is not going to be any better than any other electric element heater this is just a fact of creating heat from the electric energy. If energy costs are your primary concern you really need to be looking at a heat transfer pump arrangements and not electric element heaters.
All in all I have really enjoyed this unit and hope to get much more use out of it.

Aesthetically nice to live with, great app support, unsure of clinical usefulness – Dyson Review As part of the ProductReview Ambassador program, I’d been asked to review this Dyson Air Purifier – a product class I hadn’t seriously considered previously. The context of it’s use is worth mentioning, which involves a large 2-storey house, located in a semi-rural area, with vineyards adjoining our house block, a small dog, a… Read more
cockatiel (indoors), and 3 teenage kids. Thanks to my amazing wife, our house is “display-home” clean the majority of the time. The main factors that I could identify that might usually affect indoor air quality for us include food preparation/cooking, air-conditioning(heating – plays havoc with my nose/sinuses), and smoke ingress from nearby houses with slow combustion heaters. It would have been interesting to be able to evaluate this unit during summer months when vineyard spraying was more frequent (next to zero at the moment, being winter). Now, on with my observations….. Form factor: Overall, the unit has pleasing, unobtrusive aesthetics. It’s vertical orientation reduces it’s overall footprint, similar to a tower fan or heater, however has that uniquely Dyson modern styling and design. It’s worth noting that the absence of visible moving parts, and continuous surfaces means it is relatively safe for young children to be around. The forward air vent channels are too narrow for little fingers, however the rear-facing vent channel is a little larger and small fingers could find their way in there (and possibly small objects too). It’s sturdy enough to resist knocking over, but isn’t so weighty as to risk significant injury if it landed on your foot. Most of the weight is contained in the lower half of the unit, adding to it’s stability, but is light enough to easily reposition around the house, using the upper arch as a handle. The magnetic retainer on top of the arch, for the remote control, is a nice tough (which I discovered quite by accident). Ease of setup: The only hardware setup required is the installation of the filter pads, which was not difficult – they can only fit in one orientation. Dyson uses an online product registration process, which I have used before, and is fairly straightforward. I can only speak for the Android app version, but it’s safe to say that it’s a well-designed app, and not a cheap afterthought. They obviously see the app as an integral part of living with this device. If you have multiple home wifi networks, make sure you know which one your phone is currently on when setting up a connection between the app and the unit. Other than this step, app-purifier connection was seamless. Ease of use: Basic operation of the unit is very straight forward. The app mimics the remote, but with a more visual status display. The unit itself only has a power button and lacks any other controls, so you are destined to get into a good habit of replacing the remote, otherwise, you’ll be looking for your phone. The various settings are easy to identify on both the remote and app, with no confusion about what settings you’re playing with. The built-in (and adjustable) oscillation controls come in handy, however, there’s also a tilt option, which is done manually. The App: The app mimics the remote with considerably more visual information about what’s happening. The app allows for finer control over oscillation using selection of pre-set arcs (45/90/180/350 degrees) with ability to adjust the centre-point of the arc. It also offers a graphical display of what the air sensors are detecting over a 48 hour period (doesn’t go back more than a day). Aside from readings from the air quality sensors, the app also displays current temperature and humidity. The main unit itself does have a small graphical display, but realistically, you’re usually too far away to be able to make it out, and involves squatting very low to actually see it. Overall, the app is well-polished suggesting considerable effort has gone into getting this aspect right. Air Quality Monitoring: There’s plenty of information on Dyson’s website explaining the 4 key variables it monitors (PM2.5, PM10, VOC & NO2), and the sensors on the unit certainly appear sensitive enough to detect changes in air particle composition. In our household, we mostly registered changes in VOC’s (volatile organic compounds), particularly when cooking meals, and even after a short use of the microwave oven. We saw very little variation in the PM2.5 & PM10 levels (mostly remained as baseline levels), and the small elevations we did see were too small to attribute to anything notable. According to the app, after 4 weeks of use, the filters were still rated at 98%, suggesting a long life-span before needing replacement. Effectiveness: As far as improving air purity, this was difficult to evaluate, as we couldn’t be sure that the elevated (VOC) levels were dropping because of the purifier, or because they were simply dissipating to another area of the house, or out the window. It is difficult when you see a product being marketed as an air purifier, but really have little way to determine if it’s doing it’s job, because in scientific terms, you don’t have a baseline (i.e. a ‘control’) to compare it against in your own house. Additionally, there’s an irony that when you sense air quality is deteriorating within the house (i.e. forgotten something that burning in the oven!) the general response is to open windows and turn on exhaust fans to move the gasses out, suggesting an air purifier would only be useful if you didn’t have the option of doing these. Whilst the unit appeared to be an effective monitor of air quality, I’m not sold on it’s usefulness as a ‘purifier’ as such, in the context of our household. Heating: We were unable to find information (specifications) describing the heating power of the unit (e.g. ??Watts), but would estimate it would be below 2000W, more like 1500-1800W based on comparisons with other heaters we have in the house. Not huge, but will manage to take the chill off a sizeable living area over time. Cooling: This unit is fan-only cooling, so no built-in compressor – no surprises there, but I’m sure some will be expecting active cooling based on the advertising visuals. Air volume: Dyson claims a sizeable air volume output from this unit (at best, some 300L/sec), and many will assume this is from what is directly pumped out by the fan. However, it’s more related to the ‘induced’ airflow (using the ‘Venturi Effect’) that is drawn through the centre of the hoop by air escaping around the edges of the hoop. Again, I couldn’t find specifics on how much air is actually pumped through the unit’s own fan. Noise levels: Comparing the noise levels to, say, a pedestal fan is a bit unfair, as the air moves through relatively unhindered. This unit however, has to draw air through filter pads, up through ducting, and out narrow openings. So yes, it is noisier if you want to crank it up, but tolerable. If you had it in a room with you whilst sleeping, you’d run it up to level 3, whereas 4 and above tends to produce enough noise to begin to hear across a room (unless of course you’re trying to drown out the snorer in the room!). Clinical usefulness: As mentioned earlier, it’s really difficult to evaluate it’s effectiveness as an air purifier, unless of course, you run your own basic, in-house clinical trial. There may be circumstances where is does prove useful, particularly if someone in the house has a chronic respiratory/immunological condition, and who is far more sensitive to changes in air quality than the average healthy individual, living in an otherwise ‘clean-air’ house. As an air quality monitor, it certainly has been an interesting exercise to correlate changes in air-quality with different household activities, however, you can buy an air quality monitor for home use for about $150. Other points: What we thought would be useful is a notification of sorts, when air quality deteriorates significantly (the unit does keep monitoring air quality when the fan is stopped, and plugged in and turned on). Also, we rarely used the reverse air flow option, preferring the jet of air from the front instead (it feels more like it’s actually running!). We were not able to determine how they determined what were “high” PM/VOC levels, and compare that against known standards for causing ill health effects. It was also difficult to locate independent research to evaluate the effectiveness/usefulness of air purifiers other than a Choice comparison updated in April 2021(I’m not a member so don’t have access to the results). An air purifier may prove to be more valuable in in living environments that are either subject to a higher concentration of pollutants (lots of cooking in a small house), or are occupied by individuals with high sensitivity to airborne allergens/pathogens, or both. Otherwise, even some office/work spaces may benefit from it’s presence. Would I have bought one? This was the first time we had any reason to monitor air quality in our house, and it was certainly an interesting exercise to see when the air quality changed, and to what extent, particularly when cooking. Overall though, we felt that an air purifier is probably not suited to our needs (large, open plan 2-storey house in semi-rural area). We do have to say though, that it came in very handy for drying clothes on an indoor airer! If I lived near an industrial area, and had respiratory/immune issues – I might consider it more seriously, and would at least want to trial it for a period to ascertain it’s clinical usefulness, especially during a time of the year when air-borne pollutants are considerably more prevalent, such as spring. If you felt the need for an air purifier was justified, then based on ease of operation, and aesthetics, this unit would definitely be worth considering if it was in your budget.
Quiet and Comfortable Heating, Cooling and More – First off - let me say that I was sent this product to review as part of the productreview Ambassador program. Right out of the box, you can tell that this is a quality product. It feels heavy and strong and well weighted. There is a small amount of assembly required, to install the twin clam-shell shaped HEPA filters that are housed in the base… Read more
under a couple of covers. and that's it. It couldn't be simpler, there are ample pictures/stickers to guide you through the process.
First thing you notice is how cool this thing looks. It reminds me of some sort of virtual assistant or robot! I half expected it to start talking!
Once plugged in, there is a tiny remote included to switch the unit on, but conveniently, there is also a simple on/off button located on the front of the base to switch it on without it. The remote can also be secured to the top of the unit via a magnet so you are less likely to misplace it. Its these little conveniences that set this product apart. You can tell that the designers are passionate about their job.
The controls are super-simple to work out, without even looking at the manual. Without even touching anything else, you can just press the 'Auto' function and let the fan do the rest.
Turning the heat function up to the max will get you wonderful 37 degree air, and you can set the swing to be increments on 45, 90, 180 and even 360 degrees.
The cooling function will simply circulate the ambient air like a regular fan.
The 'info' button on the remote tells you room temperature, humidity, the amount of pollutant concentrations in the air, and also the condition of the filters so you know when its time to replace them, which really is a handy feature, as its hard to tell on these things by looking when they actually need replacing. Replacement filters for this unit are $99 +pp from Dyson Australia.
The Unit can also connect to your phone (if you like that kind of thing) which I must admit is handy to control the unit when you're not in the same room. As part of my testing - I used this unit to heat up the bathroom, which meant I could turn the unit on from my phone in bed a little while before I decided to get up. The bathroom was always toasty warm - Awesome!
This unit is best suited for using in a bedroom, or study. while it has the ability to nicely warm up a smaller room, its not really designed as a large space heater. I think Dyson had a bedroom in mind, as the unit has timer and sleep functions that are excellent to run the unit at night time.
All in all this is a fantastic, well designed and built product.
It heats. It cools. It purifies. It blows. HARD. And it does it all very well! – The HP07 is marketed as the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Purifying Fan Heater. It is exactly as it states. It is essentially a fan that doubles as a heater as well as a cooler, with an integrated air purifying function that seems to do exactly what it states. This is the 2nd Dyson product that I’ve had the pleasure of testing and reviewing, and after… Read more
4 weeks of solid use, I can safely say I would be very happy purchasing this particular unit. The Dyson HP07 is one of 3 offerings in Dyson’s Purifier range, sitting alongside the Purifier Hot+Cool Formaldehyde, and the Purifier Cool fan heaters. It came packaged nice and firm in the usual Dyson fashion, set in recyclable cardboard with not too much plastic waste, and there’s even a leaflet with QR code / URL included which links to an online user manual, registration, troubleshooting tips, replacement parts etc. allowing for the purchaser to choose how they wish the utilise their product. A really nice touch re: user manual and a nod to responsible waste management.
Once removed from the box, the only thing I had to do was insert the filters, plug it in and turn it on. This is done via 1 of 3 ways … via a single physical button on the front of the unit, via the supplied remote control, or via the Dyson Link app found on Play or iTunes. Initial pairing with the unit and your device is via Bluetooth, and once done, the app connects via your WiFi to the unit, so you can control the fan from anywhere within wifi range. Dyson have done an excellent job here with design of their app (Android in the least) including an in built virtual remote emulating the physical remote. I’m not going to go in depth except to say that it’s very functional and with relevant information at hand at each click/swipe. You can also connect it up and control with voice commands via Amazon Alexa, Google Home or Apple Siri. The fan stands about 60cm tall and has a footprint about 25cm’s, and is very stable during use. Oscillation is via a ball like mechanism, and you can angle the fan both forward and back on this mech about 15 degrees. Warranty on the fan is 12 months, this does not include the filter. The fan is quite simple to operate. It has an LCD screen on the front of the unit below the power button which displays readouts of all the below functions, as follows:
On/Off Temperature Up/Down – 0 to 37 degrees Airflow Speed Up/Down – standstill to blow ya socks off! Humidity Cooling function Oscillation: Off/45/90/180/350 degrees Timer: Off – 9 hours Night Mode Airflow Direction
Most of these are self explanatory. Things to note: the cooling function seems act like a regular fan, and there’s no adjustment for temperature for this mode. Being able to set oscillation scope is actually quite handy and, when the unit is turning, does so quietly, and on the 45 degree setting, it’s approximately 10 seconds to do a full sweep from left to right and back again. One thing to note here is if you move the fan, it cuts the oscillation briefly. I believe this is a safety feature. Night mode just dims the display as well as reducing the audible sounds when modes are changed. Lastly, airflow direction mode changes air being pushed out the front of the unit to the back. Like cooling mode, it does not do any heating, so, it’s a redundant feature in Winter in my opinion, but it allows air to be moved around without blowing on you, say in a small space.
To the purifying aspect of the unit, the HP07 checks and reports on indoor air quality, particulate matter @ 2.5 and 10 microns, volatile organic compounds, and nitrogen dioxide, and filter life. Dyson recommends changing the filter every 12 months, based on approx. 12 hours of use daily. I’ve been running it in multiple places to put it through its paces, and I’ve not experienced the unit at work in detecting pollutants as yet, all readouts always showing Green. The one thing that I did find extremely useful is that I use it primarily in my office, which is also used by the cat to (unfortunately) do his business, and the purifier actually removes the usual odours from the air. This is quite a substantial plus in my opinion.
As far as the heating function of the fan goes, I’m impressed, and would buy it on this point alone. Auto mode regulated the temperature fairly well and ramps up to almost gale force power to get things moving and heating, then dials back down to a casual push of air when it’s nearing it’s set temperature. Once it has reached the required temp, the oscillation stops, and the fan continues to push out a light breeze to keep the temperature at the required setting. Lastly, in regards to power usage, on maximum setting, it pulls 2500watts (2.5kwh), however when it’s reached its desired temperature, it barely registers on the kwh meter. As mentioned, I’ve been mainly using it in my office, which is 3.5 square metres, and it takes about 5 minutes to heat from 17 degrees to 21 degrees (obviously the usual caveat applies here re: how big and how well the room is insulated), which is considerably quick and another plus for the unit. In my 14m x 10 metre lounge, with windows all round, it just sat on high pumping out the warm air. Still nice though.
Summing up, the HP07 is quite a cleverly designed and crafted piece of technology from the company that once dealt solely in cyclonic vacuum cleaners. From vacuums to hand dryers, and now fans, their R&D is a big part of their success, and although the cost of their tech is at the higher end of the spectrum, the old saying stands firm here … you get what you pay for. Recommended with 2 thumbs up.

disturb your home.
This minimalist, yet powerful unit has made itself home in my baby’s room where it’ll stay for the foreseeable future, ensuring a safe play environment and healthy sleep domain for my daughter.
Upon the unit being delivered, it arrived in its usual charming packaging that you’d expect from Dyson. And in true Dyson fashion (having also owned other Dyson products), it was easy to assemble alas, without an instruction manual - which you can download online. This is an environmental win here for those that not only care for their family but the world around them. Even better, the packaging is easy to pack down for recycling.
What perplexed me a little bit was the setup of the Dyson HP07 to Dyson Link to use your phone or device like a remote or to view all the stats including air quality, and more, from the palm of your hand. If you’re not computer savvy or like to keep it simple, you can also view all of your units intelligent data from the unit itself by making selections on the included, magnetic remote.
Aesthetically, the Dyson HP07 is a good looking product. In the White/Silver combination, it’s modern curves blend seamlessly into our contemporary home decor. It’s 76.4cm height allows the Dyson HP07 to provide long-range heat projection, as promised, ensuring an evenly and quick-to-heat room for Winter and powerful, purified cool airflow in Summer, or in our Queensland home, for warm winter days. Weighing a mere 5.5kg, it’s easy to move room-to-room, where so required and it’s small foot print is perfect for my little ones room without losing the great functionality you’d expect from Dyson.
The adjustable tilt and 10 speed setting ensures sufficient airflow to most heights, where required. We have an open plan home and I don’t believe the unit is sufficient to heat or cool, nor purify a large home but definitely in selected areas, hence why it has found its home in my baby’s room where comfort and purification is needed the most.
Functionally, the Dyson HP07 is a quiet unit when in use. The 350 ̊, left to right oscillation is near silent compared to a ceiling fan, perfect for my sleeping baby. You wouldn’t even realise it is there, or running, until you recognise the purified air oscillating around the room. I can utilise the integrated sensors to easily and consistently monitor and control adjustments to the room temperature, from the remote control at the door or from my phone without waking my baby. In it’s night mode setting, the display is dimmed and runs using quiet settings.
Technology-wise, the Dyson HP07 is designed, according their website, to automatically sense and capture pollutants, diagnosing pollutants at a molecular level, whilst displaying live results on the LCD.
When you need to articulate the data, you have a large range of information and graphs available at your finger tips. This includes indoor air quality (last 12 seconds), particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10 (including smoke, bacteria, allergens,dust, mould and pollen), VOCs (think cleaning products, paint etc), Formeldehyde, Nitrogen Oxide and other oxidizing gases. Other information includes the current indoor temperature, humidity, filter life and current WIFI status just to name a few. Upon first using the unit, the overall levels of air quality were still determined to be of great quality (I had recently cleaned our fans, carpet and professionally cleaned our air conditioning units) but dropped to lower levels after a few minutes of use, thanks to the purification.
What I like the most, aside from the purification, is the safety I feel when the unit is in heat mode - I don’t need to worry about my older child getting hurt with dispersed heat, though the on/off button on the unit does provide him entertainment when I tell him not to touch it, and it does not have a child-lock feature that I’m currently aware of.
What will become functional mid-season, like Spring and Autumn is the diffuser mode, offering purification without the cooling and heating feature.
In conclusion there’s a large number of the population that I believe that the Dyson HP07 would be of benefit for - those in the city, those in rural areas that have more pollens, those prone to allergies and asthma, those with compromised health, the young and old, those with pets, those doing home renovations - and more. The retail price of this product is on the higher end however overall, it is not your average heater or cooler, nor your average air purifier.

Smart Air Purifier – I received this air purifier as part of ProductReview’s ambassador program. Let us start with the packaging. The filters are not installed in the machine, which means you get a very tall package for a relatively small machine. I could not understand any operational reasons for this, and having the filters already installed would save a lot of… Read more
packaging material (and storage space).
Installing the filters is relatively easy, although you will not get a positive “locked in position” sensation even after everything is in place. I had to detach the filters and push them back in place a few times to make sure I was doing it correctly.
Next came turning the unit on and pairing it with Dyson’s app on my phone. I had a hard time because my phone refused to see the unit, and following all the troubleshooting steps on Dyson’s website, and going on chat with their help-desk (which were very nice I must say) did not help. But after I restarted my phone, everything worked like a charm, so I will not hold this part up against them. I just wish their troubleshooting steps included the famous “Have you tried turning it off and on again” too.
There is a cute LCD on the machine which shows you current mode, fan speed, and air quality analysis. You can cycle through various pages like particle count, volatile organic compounds (VOC), temperature, etc., and if the sensors detect harmful particles in the air, the display will automatically jump to the relevant screen. This happens to me every time I open the balcony door, as my neighbors love to smoke, have BBQs or otherwise pollute the air. One missing feature is for the display to automatically cycle between different screens without you having to press any buttons on the remote.
You can tilt the purifier upwards and downwards a few degrees, which helps with pointing the air stream right where you want it to go. You can put the unit on your coffee table and tilt it downwards, or on the floor and upwards.
The purifier comes with the familiar Dyson remote. Sleek and slender, it is easy to use. The only point I did not like about the remote was its transparent ends, which makes it feel cheap. Surely Dyson could use an opaque or tinted piece of plastic instead of the transparent one.
The LCD on the purifier changes for a few seconds every time you press a button on the remote (or the mobile app for that matter), but the unit stops responding to the remote until the screen goes back to idle. This makes changing settings a rather slow process if you want to change the fan speed and temperature quickly. You have to change one, wait for the screen to back to idle, and then change the other. The screen stays on the changed setting as long as you are pressing any button on the remote (except for the power button), which feels like the device is stubbornly refusing to accept your command. Just take a deep breath, and wait…
The mobile app is well designed, lightweight, and easy to use. The only grievance I have is, if you try to increase fan speed or temperature on the app’s main screen, you can’t see what you are setting those two fields to because the value is shown right under your finger. You can of course open the full screen remote which is very easy to use and designed for people with big fingers like me.
One feature that I loved is, I could instruct the machine to monitor air quality without trying to purify it. Helpful for when you are out of home for most of the day but want to monitor the quality. The machine can passively monitor the air that passes through its filters even when it is switched off. You can also set up schedules for the machine to switch on and off by itself (very useful for when you want your room to be heated up and/or air cleaned before you get home after a long day).

Clean heat in an aesthetic package – Recently we received a Dyson Purifier Hot & Cool as a part of Product Review’s Ambassador Program, so let’s start at the beginning. PACKAGING AND DOCUMENTATION Why does packaging matter? Well quite simply it ensures safer delivery and expresses a level of pride by the manufacturer, so I am big on packaging. And the Purifier arrived well packed,… Read more
pleased to say with only cardboard rather than polystyrene which is always hard to dispose of. Interestingly it arrives with its two filters out of the unit in sealed plastic bags, which I assume is to keep them in pristine condition for first use. I appreciated that because it then forces you to understand how and where the filters are installed; and as one day they will need replacement that’s a good idea.
DOCUMENTATION I think they need to rethink this a little bit. Firstly, you get a very useful one step colour page that gets you up and working. This bit is good, it covers the remote-control buttons and suggests you connect your machine via the wifi app. A good start. Next you get a scrappy little leaflet that tells you to keep it for future reference, and then essentially only talks about the filters; all those features and nothing else covered on Day One! And the other strange fact? The legal obligations are in large font, then they drop to a smaller (tiny) font for the useful instruction about the filters! (I do hope they read this bit) Personally, I’m big on comprehensive user instructions but accept that I may be in a minority, as good product design should make detailed instructions less necessary, and my boys wouldn’t recognise a user manual if they fell over one.
THE UNIT It’s very aesthetically pleasing but quite large. In our house the size is not an issue, but one of my sons was going to borrow it and in shared accommodation the size was an issue. However, fair to say that most other heaters have a bigger footprint so if the Dyson is too large, then time for a bigger flat! Its very light and easy to move, though you need to be close to a power point or you will require an extension cord. It has the now ubiquitous 1.8 metre cord, but then a longer cord becomes untidy if a power point is nearby, so let’s accept the existing cord. The unit oscillates left to right and rocks back and forward to aim the breeze upward which is useful; that degree of freedom turns out to be appreciated in use. Apparently the remote control will stick to a magnet on top of the unit - a very good idea - but whilst there was a magnet there we couldn't get the control to stay put. The display is very good; simple to understand and very good graphics make it easy to view. Conversely you can see the same detail of your smart phone. The important stuff: height is 760mm and weight, very light, is a bit over 5kg.
THE PURIFYING BIT Dyson would probably explain this better than me, but essentially the purifying function filters out pollutants in your room air, such as paint, exhaust fumes and cooking odours along with pollens, allergens and bacteria, then displays any offending results on the display.
PUTTING IT TO WORK Quite simply, install the filters, plug it in and hit automatic on the remote. Then spend a time with the remote control trying all the buttons. There is a lot of control in your hands; we couldn’t think of anything that was missing. Included on the control is an information button that covers a lot of useful data including: • Two screens on current and 24-hour air quality • Four screens on types of detected contaminants (if any) • Temp and humidity • Filter status Once you’ve overcome the enthusiasm of knowing how polluted your house is, then select a location which according to Dyson is away from windows, doors and heaters and choose your preferred operating parameters. You can set the oscillations from 45 degrees up to 180, then tilt the machine forward or backward to better direct the flow. Then it’s simply a matter of selecting heat or cool, and if you opt for heating dial up the required temperature. Cooling has no temperature options; it’s simply a best available. And here’s an interesting idea; if you don’t need the heating or cooling you can expel the air purified from the back with only the very quietest of fan noises. Nice because you can still purify the air at times when the room temperature is already to your liking. In smaller rooms, like bedrooms, heating worked very well, and the room had a pleasant warmth to it, no odours or heating smells at all. When the central heating was on, the Dyson simply went into rest mode and waited until the temperature dropped. When the central heating was off, it was a very effective heater. Definitely many times better than our oil radiator and fan heater. It just does an excellent job of warming things up. One very strong point in its favour is that there are no hot surfaces or exposed heating elements. Will say though that in a large open area (75 square metres with lots of glass and minimal insulation) it did struggle; solution is to place it where you want the warmth as heating up the entire area seemed a big ask. Next, we tried to cool the room back down, which wasn’t difficult during winter and the Dyson put out a decent blast of cold air; annoyingly so as very soon the room felt cold, but we didn’t get to give it a blast on a hot day. Fair to say, its not a full on air conditioner but it does put out cold air. In comparison to a fan, I think the air purification in cooling mode is a plus, but for real air volume, read breeze, I think a pedestal fan is more effective. On the subject of fans it does have fan noise but I was quite comfortable with the noise level, particularly as it pushed the heat outwards, rather than let it flow to the ceiling. Interestingly, raising to full speed does not increase the fan noise that much. I put the fan to another test; air drying some washing. Not a real success in that venture but thought I’d try!
AND TESTING AIR PURIFICATION When we turned it on, the display came back with zero pollutants and stayed that way for the first couple of days, so while the machine got an easy time, we couldn’t work out how effective the purification was. Some in-house testing was required. So first I put fresh paint on the floor and no change. I replaced that with mineral turpentine and the reading went up to moderate loss of air quality but no odour; the Dyson cleared that up. Next, I placed some dust in the air and got low but noticeable readings on particulate scales, so it was detected and appeared to be removed. The other nicety was when placed in the kitchen it removed cooking odours.
ROBUSTNESS It is a robust design and construction in that you simply pick it up at the top of the loop to carry it and it’s relatively light compared to an oil filled radiator.
IN CLOSING It’s a good unit. It heats and purifies the air very well, will cut out at a pre-set level and runs on either automatic or manually selected settings, which I played with at first but now simply opt for auto mode. The remote control, once you are familiar with its buttons is very good, and you can also use your phone over wifi to control it. It does come at a price premium, but personally I think the air purification likely warrants that premium. For the record, until receiving this unit we relied on two oil filled radiators, but I rate the Dyson as a better unit in all aspects except that the radiators have 24 hour clocks which we used quite often.
Plusses: • Well packaged in an environmentally friendly manner • Aesthetically pleasing and due to its tall design takes up very little floor space • Does a great job of heating average sized rooms, still good on very large rooms • Very easy to move around and to take away on weekends to cold Air BnB’s (!) • No heating smells whatsoever • The air purification is incredibly good Minuses • Rather poor documentation and background reading on the product • No time-of-day settings • Remote control magnet a bit suss!

Should be identified as primary heater/cooler with secondary air purification – I received the Dyson Hot+Cold Air Purifier in mid-June for the purpose of testing for a non-biased review. The device is well-packaged and very easy to set up with only the main body and 2 filters to fit into the 2 flaps around the neck of the device, and a tiny remote control. It was good to see the usual thick instruction manual usually printed… Read more
in 100-odd lanuages MISSING from the box "to reduce environmental impact" and instead accessible online - well done Dyson!
The instructions advise to use "AUTO" function on the small remote. At this setting the fan was on quite high and initially blew out hot air at 27 degrees. The airflow speed can be reduced on the remote but I found even at the lowest 1 setting, the fan was audible on the background like a typical fan heater. It was not until pressing the fan setting ("blue dot") did the airflow reduce to a virtually inaudible.
The fan is not very high from the ground and one would think the fact one can put one's hand through the centre it would be safe for children however I found on the hot setting the hot air is still blowing out of the black rims and this would not be safe for small children to touch. We noticed our 1yo having a habit of going up to it and turning it on at the power button on the device. There does not appear to be any child lock so we had to keep unplugging at the powerpoint to prevent him turning it on.
You have to download the Dyson Link app which is very easy to set up and identify the device. You can control the settings from the app on your phone and to avoid the tiny remote getting lost it can be placed on the top of the fan which has a magnet inside to stop the remote from slipping off which is handy.
You can scroll through the app to see the air quality in the room you're using the purifier in, including in your local area/suburb in general. There is an information button on the remote that gives you information on the temperature, humidity, filter life, microparticles in the room etc. This information isn't however available on the app remote so you can't view it from your phone. There is a small digital screen on the device itself showing this information which isn't that useful since in reality no one would be sitting up close to the device checking on this information in my opinion.
We put the Dyson to the test in comparing it to an oil heater and a small portable fan heater. The Dyson has heated up a small 3x4m bedroom by 4 degrees (from 15 to 19 degrees) in 30 minutes. It has used ~1kWh of energy to do this. The oil heater needed 2 hours to achieve the same temperature increase but with the same energy consumption overall. In this situation the Dyson is better as the heat can be directed towards you whilst heating up the room as well as taking less time to do so. The fan heater had the highest initial consumption but it didn't need to stay on for that long. It heated up the area where I was working by 4 degrees in 15 minutes (from 16 to 20 degrees). Consumption in 15 minutes was 0.6kWh. But 1 hour later it was back to 17 degrees so I had to turn it on again. Overall it had the highest consumption and was the least comfortable as it doesn't heat up the room evenly so is only good for a quick fix if the area that you need to heat quickly is very small. In this test we would prefer using the Dyson although this is only for the heating function. Note that you can't plug the Dyson in with another high-energy consumption device eg. an air fryer as this blows the fuse in the powerboard.
The Dyson is relatively light and portable. It was not too cumbersome carrying it up and down the stairs to different rooms although we have been carrying it using the loop which apparently you're not supposed to do but the design seems counterintuitive if this is the case.
I have tested the Dyson overnight as there is a Night mode but when I set the temperature to heat at 19 degrees found it was far too warm so ended up turning it off. Additionally the noise level even on Night mode is still quite audible and as our 1yo sleeps in the next room I would be concerned if I could not hear him above the fan noise.
One issue that seemed strange was the inability to just run the air filtering separately from heating or cooling modes. If Dyson is advertising this as primarily an air purifier with (secondary heating/cooling functions, one would think this mode would be possible as sometimes the room doesn't need active cooling/heating.
Another bad issue is that once the dyson has reached the desired temperature, it automatically turns to a very gentle cooling mood! So even when you are heating the room to 19 degrees, once this is reached, the dyson starts blowing out some cool air which is immediately felt if the fan is facing you in winter! It is puzzling why it cannot simply switch off instead of still using energy to blow cold air! One has to manually turn it off otherwise it seems the dyson will keep running 24/7 to maintain this temperature instead of turning off when the temperature is reached and then turning the heating back on if the temperature dips down like an oil heater. According to Dyson: "Your purifying fan's auto mode is designed to manage the air quality in your home without you having to operate the machine – so it's only on when it needs to be" but again it was hard to test just air purification as either the heating or cooling element seemed to always be on at the same time.
It was not possible to test air filtering as the air quality in our home always seemed to be very good in every room we tried, even in the laundry where I dry-pail 1-2 day-old cloth nappies which may contain some residual ammonia (certainly can be smelly and eye-watering sometimes so we know there's something in the air!) We have a 1yo and 6yo who were recently sick with a cold and whilst the breastfed 1yo has quickly recovered, the 6yo still has a chesty cough after 2+ weeks though no one else has become sick in the house. No one in the house has any allergies to test out the air purification mode.
Overall I would put this device in the basket of glorified/expensive air heater/cooler with secondary air purification as the latter cannot be used on its own. As an air purifier that couldn't be tested independently I would give it 3/5 stars but if there was some way to test it, it would easily bring this up to almost 5/5 hence the overall score given would be 4/5. In the end it depends what you will be using the device for.
How did not have it before! – After getting a quick delivery of the Dyson air purifier the setup was very easy as instructions are clear to assemble it. I suffer from asthma since childhood and I am allergic to dust and other things, for this reason use a robotic vacuum which runs twice in the day. Since I got the air purifier Which I run during when I get home, I can sense a… Read more
difference on the air between the bedroom where the purifier is running and the rest of the house.
I am very light sleeper so a bit of noise bothers me and been most of issues with fans, the Dyson runs very quietly that I even doubt is running until I put my hand on the air flow path.
The app to control the purifier from the phone is very easy to manage and very simple, on it you can adjust speed, oscillation angle, temperature to run to cool or heat up, app also tells you how the quality of the air around you is. I have labrador dogs and have noticed that the air purifier picks up the dog smell and starts to work when the dog is in the room. What a great thing!
I also have noticed that I get a much better sleep and wake up refreshed!
So far I am very happy with the Dyson Air purifier!! Wonder why did not get one before!
Overall a pretty good product and would recommend – The price is the only big drawback for the size room it heats a reverse cycle AC installed is probably only $200 more. It heats a 4x6x3m room very effectively. It's not overly loud there is a definite sound of air moving that's it. The build quality feels a little cheap for the price tag but as far as portable heaters go it's pretty good. The… Read more
app and ability to change rotation angles are great. The filters and feedback for air quality are nice to have. The remote and the magnetic holder feel way too cheap for the price and need to be improved.
it's definitely the most effective fan heater / portable heater I have ever used. the fan aspect for summer is also a great plus especially because it works well other combo heats I have used before had a terrible fan feature.
overall it's a little overpriced but it does what it is supposed to do well. If you need a portable fan/heater and would like the air purification part, it's hard to go past.
A supersized hairdryer that you don't have to hold and cleans the air that you breathe! – *** First Impressions *** I have owned one of the first Dyson air purifiers for a few years for a number of reasons, we had some mould/damp issues in the bedroom, my wife has hay fever and I Asthma. We originally only purchased the cool version without the heater, but we soon regretted that in winter. It would have been super useful to have a… Read more
portable heater for a few rooms that we don't have ducted air conditioning in or when we didn't want the expense of using the air conditioning to heat just a single room.
Therefore I was very excited to see how the heat function worked and also the new upgrades and features that I'm sure the Dyson elves must have added over the years.
The first I noticed on arrival was that it was way more compact than my existing fan (the really high loop) which I knew would make it easier for me (and my wife) to move around when needed. The packaging was everything you'd expect from a premium brand such a Dyson and it was very simple to put together, although the filters were a little fiddly to get to click in properly. It was also much easier to connect my phone to the device that I recall with my existing part, the hardest part was disposing of all the packaging (a surprising amount of plastic and cardboard for such a small product, albeit delicate and expensive so the cardboard was understandable at least.
Another noticeable difference was that the fan part of the device not only pivots left to right, but it is also tiltable! This is something we really wished our first device had so the air could be directed to the required height when sleeping. But come close, it gets better....the new version also has a diffusion mode which in layman's terms means you can direct the air out the back so you don't have a cold breeze hitting you in the chops as you sleep and wafting your hair around like you'd fallen asleep with your head out the car window (don't try this at home kids, it's dangerous).
It also has improved fancy-sounding technical stuff like the following that sounds way fancier than I recall so that must mean they're better:
- Integrated sensors constantly analyse your air, while our unique algorithm cross-checks data every second. It diagnoses pollutants at a molecular level, displaying live results on the LCD.
- The HEPA H13 filter captures 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns.1 A layer of activated carbon also removes odours and gases including VOCs.2
- In our latest purifiers, it's not just the filter that meets HEPA H13 standard, it's the whole machine.4 So what goes inside, stays inside.
- Only Dyson purifiers have Air Multiplier™ technology. It generates the circulation power to draw even distant pollutants into the machine, projecting purified air throughout the room.
*** Product Description *** - Family: HP07 - Air Treatment Type: Purifier - Colour: Black/Nickel - Connectivity: Wi-Fi - Compatible with Dyson Link App(4) - Timer: Sleep timer: 1, 2, 4, 8hrs - Filtration: HEPA Glass Media & Carbon Filter - Settings: 10 Speed settings - Product Width (mm): 205 - Product Height (mm): 764 - Product Depth (mm): 130 - Weight (kg): 5.5 - What's In The Box: 1x Purifying fan heater, 1x Combined Glass HEPA and Activated carbon filter, 1x - - - Remote control - Manufacturer's Warranty: 2 Year
*** Key Features *** - Heats in Winter / Cools in Summer - Draught-free diffused mode - Intelligent control and data - Voice control - Oscillates up to 350 ̊ - Night mode - Easy filter care - Curved and magnetised to store neatly on top of the machine.
*** Conclusion *** The fan speed really is impressive, the heat and the cool function rapidly change the room temperate as desired. It's hard to test the new purification but my wife and I always notice the difference with our allergies, particular in hayfever or wood-burning season.
The functionality iterations have really improved the product and I can't think of many obvious features I wish it had now, apart from reducing the background noise at night. My wife is a light sleeper and she swears she can even her the device during background filtering mode (but she can't hear me when I'm talking to her whilst stood next to her in an elevator, go figure! :)
Beware though as this machine is also an expert automatic flatulence detector, if you think you're safe squeezing out a sneaky one before bed whilst the other half is cleaning her teeth think again. The fan speed will detect the sudden room pollutants (I speak for myself here) and the fan speed will be immediately automatically turned up to "plane taking off-speed". This is then instantly followed by "did you fart?!" from the bathroom when the wife is alerted by the noise.
As you'd expect from Dyson it's not cheap, but you're getting cutting edge tech and a sexy slimline package, oh and it's good for you too. If that's not worth a premium I don't know what is.
You can also still blame the dog. :)
Heating not good from a distance, but otherwise a very good machine – This Dyson Air Purifier H07 unit was provided to me by product review to assess and report on. The unit was very easy to assemble out of the box – nothing difficult except to make sure the HEPA and carbon filters go in the correct way. Looks very stylish and sturdy and what you become used to expect with Dyson products. I started playing around… Read more
with the remote and let me say there are so many features on the screen of the Air Purifier that you definitely need to download and read the online manual on what they do otherwise you are wasting your time trying to work out what they all mean.
A great feature is that you can also download the Dyson Link App on your phone and control the unit directly from your phone. This includes even when it is off. I found this to be the best feature actually, because in this cold weather if you are not at home and know you will be coming home to a cold house, the app will allow you to turn on the unit and then programme away your heat settings (in this case). Brilliant!
The fan can be directed straight or to oscillate from 45 to 350 degrees. It also manually tilts up or down to divert the airflow which all becomes preferential. We were a little disappointed in the top speed “10”, of this unit which isn’t very strong at all compared to our Dyson Cool Pedastal Fan we have which almost blows you away on full power, but I suppose we are used to very strong wind flow in summer.
Upon initially using the unit, both myself and my wife found it quite annoying if you expect hot air to blow on you from a distance because all you get is cold air by the time it reaches you!
Let me explain: our lounge room is 8 metres long but only 3.5m wide and placing the unit next to our TV to oscillate in front of us to reach us 3 metres away makes any air that is heated cold when it reaches you and of course that’s not keeping us warm. So, the effectiveness of heat is only experienced if you were (a) standing directly in front if it as you would an electric or gas heater, or (b) if you want to heat up an average size area, it would take anywhere between an hour to 2 hours, but as mentioned above, its no good if you are in the range of the oscillating air and receive cold air towards you. We were able to heat up our dining room in about 2 hours which is 32sq metres with 2.7m high ceilings and when you travel to another room, you can certainly feel the difference in temperature.
I can’t really comment on the effectiveness of the air purification, although my wife has some allergies to certain air pollens, but then again with all this cold weather, the house is locked up. There is a lot of information on air quality and filter life etc readily available from your remote which is a great feature.
Dyson state that the filters last up to 12 months and replacement cost is currently (Part number: 965432-01) $99 with free shipping.
The unit has no handle and instructions on page 2 state : “Do not lift out by the loop amplifier”, which is frustrating as you have to bend over to move it.
Given all our living/entertaining rooms are narrow but long, the heat is effective if you heat the room up first so you are not directly in front of the airflow. Our reverse cycle air-conditioning trumps here as hot air blows on you from the get-go. We use our reverse cycle air-conditioning less than a dozen times a year. I can only image that in larger wider rooms it could be different. It certainly works in heating up a bedroom (16m2) before going to sleep.
As with anything, a lot rides on circumstances. Given our circumstances of being in close range to the heat flow in our 2 main areas, I would say that we wouldn’t purchase this unit given the extreme high cost of RRP $899. That being said, we love our several Dyson appliances that we have in our household.
It’s what you’d expect from Dyson – Dyson strives for the top end market, so it’s always aesthetically pleasing to look at, I mean, who else would make a fan with no blades? Given the right circumstances this heater/fan/air purifier will do a good job, but it’s limited to an apartment or bedroom, because the average Australian open plan living room is too big for it to do the most… Read more
efficient job. I was given it to try in winter which is not ideal. I have a big lounge room (60sq) that I can close off with French doors and usually I use a reverse cycle air conditioner but it does get very hot quickly, even though it’s temperature controlled, this machine took quite a while to heat, about 30 minutes unlike the air conditioner, which takes about 10, so although we didn’t get warmer quickly it did warm us eventually and we didn’t get too hot overall, it did struggle to keep the room warm, but it is a big room with 3 metre ceilings, and it’s just about all glass, even though they are covered with blinds and thick curtains. So a normal lounge would probably be ok. I tried it in my ensuite which is 4 metres long by 2metres wide with an exhaust fan on and it was ok.
Even though it’s winter, I’ve tried the fan just to hear how loud it is and to feel how far it would reach and I really think it would be great in summer, I like that the lights go out if you have it in your bedroom so that it doesn’t disturb your sleep and it’s quiet whilst it’s on the night setting. So I’ll probably use it a lot in summer.
What I really wanted to test this machine out for though was the air purifier as my house is currently going through renovations and my lounge room has just had 100+ year old recycled jarrah floor boards put down and had about 7 hours of sanding done to them, so my house has had quite a bit of jarrah dust through out. In the last year, a bathroom, laundry and toilet has been replaced as well and we also found out that we had water damage in our roof, so I was interested in seeing how much the purifier picked up the dust and pollens ect in the air. My house has been thoroughly cleaned and cleaned, but I was curious as to how much dust or mould or anything was still lingering as I do occasionally get a runny nose when I enter my lounge room which is from allergies to the jarrah dust.
Surprisingly the machine registers nothing in the lounge room, it stays a constant nothing even when I vacuum using (a Dyson) near it, so I’m guessing jarrah dust doesn’t register as a nasty even though it’s as dangerous as asbestos! But it does register in my ensuite which is where I have had a leak in my roof and was supposedly fixed by a roof plumber, so after winter, I will get that looked at again.
I have one problem with the machine and that is it has no handle, it says not to carry it around through the round blade part, but it’s difficult to pick up cause there’s nothing to grab on to, so if you need to pick it up and take it to other rooms, how do you transport it? Clearly it’s meant to be just put in one spot and left there, but what if you want to move it as I did, it’s clumsy and this has not been thought through. Yes, it may hurt the aesthetic, but I’m sure they could design some snazzy bit to make it look ok instead of having to lug it from the bottom all the time.
Overall, I’m happy with this machine, I’m pleased that my home is not as sick as I thought it was. I am concerned about the jarrah dust not registering though, I will ring Dyson and find out why that doesn’t register as I have a definite reaction to it sometimes in there. You can feel it on your face, like a mud pack and your nose runs, so I know there is still dust lingering even though it’s all been professionally deep cleaned. Probably coming from the ac, not sure, but somewhere.
I’ve now used the machine for cooling as it was too cold when I bought it and it does exactly what it should do. I thought it would be a perfect fan for cooling and it is. I had it on in my bedroom last night on night mode so that it turns the lights off so there’s no glaring lights in your face and it basically sounded like soft rain. I like it.

impressive. The HEPA and Carbon filters should last 12 months and list price for HEPA replacement is $99. The unit is compact, stylish and stable (hard to knock over). The functionality of the phone app is exceptional, and well designed. A small remote controls basic functions, and sits magnetically on the top of the unit. It can be tilted slightly upward or downward, and the range of side oscillation is from 0 to 350o. The fan noise level is acceptable and it generates a decent heat in the immediate area. However, it struggles to heat a large area quickly. The time taken to heat an 18m2 room from 16oC to 22oC was 2 hrs. If you need to heat a very large area quickly, you’ll probably need two Dyson units. Or, if not requiring an air purifier, a suitably sized reverse cycle air conditioner may be more cost effective (although the initial outlay is higher). The Dyson seems to circulate air well. In theory, HEPA filters remove 99.97% of AIRBORNE particles above 0.3 um. It will remove pollen, pollutants, and dust that are in the air. It will not remove dust or contaminants from surfaces. If you suffer from allergies (egs hay fever, asthma), don’t vent the house on high pollution days, as it will take time for the unit to clear the air. The unit continually measures air quality, shown as basic data on the display panel. The data displayed on the phone app is more extensive, and stored graphically for a week. If you suffer from allergies, this is good feedback for the air quality inside your home. In standby mode the monitoring can be turned off, or on. The layout of the data is easy to understand and the time scale can be expanded to see more detail. Air quality is recorded as individual measurements of particulates (under 2.5um, and under 10um), volatile organics (VOC), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), humidity and temperature. Pollens are typically 15-200 um. Smog and car exhaust pollution are major sources of NO2. The unit indicates the condition of the filters and when replacement is needed, with more detail in the app. We have issues with asthma, hay fever (mostly grass), and a tendency to bronchitis. The unit does seem to reduce asthma symptoms. A preventer medication is also used as a precaution. The Dyson unit is used in the family room during the day and occasionally in the bedroom at night. We have yet to determine how effective it will be in spring when abundant grass pollen diminishes sleep quality. The unit is very sensitive at detecting changes in air quality. When I have used alcohol based cleaning agents to sterilize a surface, or when cooking, the Dyson detected the airborne particles (spikes in the VOC). In standby mode, I have also placed it near the cat tray and it detected the odours. You can see the spikes in the VOC graph on my youtube video. App function “settings” allow you to change the Wi-Fi setting, and turn continuous monitoring, and software upgrades on/off. All required product information is available via the app, including instructions on voice control using Amazon Alexa. Dyson has included a highly customisable timer function, allowing multiple events per day with individually specified parameters. It is also located on the App, under the settings menu (Scheduling Your Machine). It also has a basic timer function up to 9 hours to turn OFF, located on the app remote icon screen. The unit can be transferred between rooms with the Wi-Fi reconnecting automatically. If, for any reason this fails, manually reconnecting the purifier to the Wi-Fi (using the remote control) is trivial. The unit must not be lifted by the top, and has no handle.
Pros: HEPA and Carbon filters (easy to change). Phone App functionality and data recording is exceptional. Compact. Easy to use. Wi-Fi connection. Easy online registration for warranty. Good fan for its size. Ten fan speeds. Wide oscillation range, and tilt. Night mode dims screen to match ambient light level. Excellent timer customisation. Magnetic remote control storage on top of fan. No exposed fan blades. Pets aren't afraid of it (LOL). Cons: Expensive to purchase and power. Cannot quickly heat a large room. Front sides of unit are a BURN risk in heating mode and unit needs to be inaccessible by children (requirement for any low lying heater). The power cord is short. No handle to lift unit.
Updated after using for 8 months: I have found this is best in a small room, such as a bedroom. If you have a large room, you'll need two. I use it on fan speed 2 at night. I'll often turn it up to speed 10 for around 30 mins, then back to speed 2 for the remainder of the night. Very quiet and room odours are greatly reduced. Helps with my asthma. Although I don't use it every night, as my asthma is weather related. Note: this won't replace the need to clear bedding of dust mites.

Know better, choose better.
One word....Amazing – So lets be honest from the start. This unit was provided to me by product review to assess and report on. Please don't think that changes my opinion one way or the other. My first impression was how heavy the box was, however, on opening the box I found very solid packaging keeping the product safe inside. On removing the fan I found it too was… Read more
quite heavy for a fan but this just means it won't be easily knocked over by children or dogs running around the house. It's not TOO heavy. It takes a small amount of assembly. Nothing too difficult however they have chosen to not include any instructions in the box. Instead they are available online. A big mistake I think as most people will just try to figure it out for themselves and some will no doubt break it and want a refund. That's just people being people! Having assembled the fan and filters and positioned it where I wanted it was time to switch it on......really simple with the included remote control. On/off, temperature, cool or heat mode, fan speed, rotation,........so many adjustments without leaving your chair. Pure luxury. If you wish, you can also download Dyson Link and communicate with the unit directly from your smartphone. Useful for air quality monitoring. It also manually tilts up or down to divert the airflow. I first tried it in the home office which it heated too quickly (ie it was wasted in such a small room) so I tried it in the bedroom. Fantastic to heat and purify a master bedroom. At night it has a "night mode" so it runs very quietly. The purifier also appears to work as the air smelled fresher after a night of use. It's hard to explain......you know how the air smells different after rain? Well.... a bit like that. I did research the filters. Be advised they will cost you $99 (at time of writing this review) to replace. Would I buy one? Honestly, if I walked into a shop I'd probably ignore it as too expensive for a fan but having experienced it, it is so much more than "just a fan" I wouldn't hesitate to spend a lot of money buying one. Don't be put off by the size, it works really well. I've included a photo next to my standard size office chair to give a sense of scale.
This is an effective and innovative appliance – This Dyson Air Purifier hot+cool HP07 comes as one piece with 2 easy-to-fit attachments. There is a user manual included with the appliance, which provides enough easy directions to get you started. This is an important factor because many appliances today are so advanced with exceptional functionality but they can be very difficult and time… Read more
consuming to put together and operate. I am happy to report that this Dyson product was easily assembled, plugged in, and ready to use within ten minutes of opening the box and reading the manual. The only parts that needed assembly were the two carbon filters which clip on to the appliance, and the instructions are both in writing and diagram form which makes it very easy. The small operating control is simple to read, slightly curved and magnetised to fit on top of the loop amplifier, ensuring that it is not lost or misplaced. A more detailed description of each function is provided on a dedicated section of the Dyson website where you can register your machine and find your manual for further operating and maintenance tips. The HP07 purifies the air at the same time as it heats or cools your rooms. I live on a busy road and have concerns about vehicle exhaust fumes which inevitably permeate our airspace and found that the air purifier has made a huge difference to our air quality. This is in addition to neutralising cooking odours in our open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen space. I’ve not used an air purifier before and, after using this appliance, I am completely sold, and intend to purchase an additional unit for my bedroom. It is quiet in operation and could be left on all night using the automatic function. I have connected it to my i-phone, and using the Dyson Link app, I am able to monitor the quality of air in my home from wherever I am. I have used both the cooling fan and the heating functions and found that a substantially large area can be heated in a relatively short period of time. The cooling function does not make a huge difference and you could not rely on it to cool down a hot room in the middle of summer, but it is very effective to have on when trying to get rid of stale cooking odours. This unit delivers all of its claims and more. It is also safe to operate if you have young children, because there are no fan blades, although the loop amplifier does become hot to touch when on heat mode. There are a couple of issues which should be considered by the manufacturer: There is no handle for carrying this machine; if you wish to move it, you must lift it from the base which makes it awkward and cumbersome to manoeuvre. The temptation is to move it using the loop amplifier which the manufacturer specifically warns you not to do. For an expensive appliance like this, I expect to be able to move it around with ease, and consider this a major oversight. The other annoying/niggling matter is that the electrical cord could have been a little longer, thereby giving the user more options for reaching power points. In summary, this appliance will remove odours and purify the air in your home with the power to keep a large area comfortably warm. I found that, when I used the cooling fan element, it seemed to enhance the odour elimination, making the breathable air discernibly fresher. I would definitely recommend this appliance and intend buying a second one for my bedroom, but may wait until the manufacturer provides a model which has a dedicated carrying/moving handle. If this is not an issue for you, go ahead and buy because it is an excellent air purifier combined with effective heating and cooling fan functions. As an afterthought, I wonder if an appliance such as this, perhaps with additional air purifying modifications, might prove useful if placed in covid quarantine spaces?
expensive heater – I was sent this machine in order to do a review on it for the product review website. The machine seems quite “plasticky” with a lot of plastic parts. It’s quite easy to pull out of the box and put together, the filters seem to be able to go in either way (ie no up or down side to them). You have to go to the website to download the full… Read more
instruction manual. The machine is quite ungainly to move/carry, as you have to move/carry it by the base.
It has A LOT of safety rules, which I wasn’t expecting, eg you can’t use it with an extension cord, as that can be a fire hazard. You can’t put the cable under furniture. I realise it’s a heater, which means you can’t use it within a metre of any textiles, curtains, or any other flammable material but given its size, and all the rules around its use, it’s fairly impractical for me with the size of my home, the layout of my home (lots of flammable furnishings, rugs, etc) and the size of my dogs. Essentially, you need to treat the machine the same way would use a candle!!
The machine isn’t very large, and I wouldn’t feel confident of it being safe to use around my pets, as I think they could easily knock it over. There is physically nowhere I would feel comfortable to place it and use it, if I wasn’t in the room at all times when it was on when using heating mode, as I would be concerned my (medium sized) dogs could run past it and knock it over, potentially starting a fire. I also don’t like the fact that they recommend you sit it out in the middle of the room so that it can work to it’s fullest potential. That just makes the room look ugly and creates a trip hazard.
It doesn’t do a good job of heating in larger, open plan spaces. It does a great job of heating in a small sized room (eg average size bedroom) even though I couldn’t put it somewhere safely, or not within a metre of any other object (as recommended). However, when I set it to reach a particular temperature (22 degrees) when it was at 19 degrees to start with, in a small room with the door closed, it didn’t reach the set temperature of 22 degrees within 30 minutes and then switch off like I thought it would – and the room felt stiflingly hot. The next time I tried to test this, the temperature was set to reach 21 degrees. After a while it finally reached that temperature and the fan dropped to speed 1, and the air coming from it felt like it was trying to cool the room even though it was on heat. I opened the door to the room and a few minutes later the fan kicked in again (but was still showing as being on level 1, but was much noisier).
I couldn’t really test the “cool” setting as it’s currently winter. The fan function works but does the air feel “cool”? Not really.
Having the machine and the remote control have magnets in them is a nifty idea – you will always know where the remote is if you’ve put it on the top of the machine. However, that also means you have to be careful getting too close to it with your wallet, etc.
I don’t like the fact that the machine comes automatically connected to Wifi, and there is an app to assist with controlling the machine if that is how you choose to control it. I personally am not into having the ability to turn on appliances via remote control or having a “smart home” - so I didn't test its use with the app.
The machine must draw a decent amount of power, as I live in an older house (50 years) and had my safety switch trip multiple times when I had the machine running at the same time as my dishwasher and the microwave being used (or other appliances).
I think it’s quite a noisy machine even with the fan on lower settings. I also couldn’t get it to go into night mode by pressing the night mode button – all that happened was that the crescent moon shape came onto the display, but none of the lighting dimmed. The oscillation function where it turns 350 degrees is good, although the speed it moves at is very, very slow. I sprayed some fly spray in the room as an experiment, and it did make the air quality reading change (so it must be working as an air purifier). Most of the time though, the air quality reading remained static in the ‘good’ zone. Another time I noticed the air quality reading change was the day I did a lot of ironing (using spray to do creases in shirts) and then cooked dinner (I had the Dyson in a room across the hall from the kitchen).
I think people who love Dyson products and their unusual shape, will like this machine as a heater. But as for it’s usefulness as an air purifier? Well, I’m not a scientist, but I know this – when I turn this machine on, it has a distinct plastic smell for the first few seconds. I think having all the information settings about what types of “nasties” it is removing is unnecessary – as is second by second monitoring. The manual doesn’t give you any indication of how long the filters will last, although the website says to change them around every 12 months. Trying to find the replacement filters on the Dyson website is not easy – when you search for “HP07 filter” it comes up with 64 results. However, if you look at the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool product page, finally down the bottom of the page it will give you the option to shop for filter replacements.
I personally don’t require a “three in one” machine that is a heater, cooler and air purifier. I will stick with my separate form of heating and cooling (reverse cycle air conditioning) and the air purifiers I currently use – which are JUST an air purifier. My other air purifier is a much larger machine, has three separate filters (pre-filter, carbon filter, and medical grade HEPA H13 filter), covers a much larger space, and does a much better job of purifying the air.
So I guess it depends on what you want this product for. A heater for a small sized room or apartment? Sure, buy it if you want to spend a significant amount of money on a heater. But if you want a good quality air purifier? Do your research, as if this product struggles to heat a small room the way I felt it did, I wouldn’t have confidence that it could purify the air of anything other than a small room. And this product is certainly too expensive to buy one for every room of the house.
I've attached a photo of it with my dog nearby so you can see why I would be concerned about the machine being knocked over by him (he isn't sitting up straight and wasn't happy about having to pose).
Exceeded my expectations – Background We live in Cairns City and five kilometres to our north we have the international airport with approximately 100 flights taking off or landing every day. Just over one kilometre to the south we have the shipping port with large sea going tankers and freighters going in and out every day. As well as this we have a colony of 8,000 to… Read more
10,000 bats going overhead most nights and to top it all off we live in centre of the city surrounded by multiple four lane streets that carrying a lot of stop-start traffic. I don’t think we have very good air quality!
Living in the wet tropics means that we have a wet season and a dry season. During the wet we have very wet, warm and humid days and during the dry season, not a great deal of rain but humidity is still quite high. Our apartment if fully air-conditioned and we also have ceiling fans in every room. Unfortunately we have no flow through ventilation which also adds to poor air quality.
The Dyson HP07 When we first used the Dyson HP07 we first placed it at the entrance to our walk-in wardrobe which leads through to the bathroom. This area does not have flow through ventilation although it does have an exhaust fan it is still subject to musty odours. We were very pleasantly surprised when with only twelve hours of use there was significant reduction odour. We kept it in this area for a week and after this period, virtually all odours had disappeared.
The next area we tried was in the office, this area is approximately ten square metres and there are no windows so again we have no flow through ventilation. We were really happy with the results in this area; we could really feel the improvement in the air quality.
Our entry hall, dining area, kitchen and lounge is one continuous room. It has a very large air-conditioner and two ceiling fans. We tried the Dyson HP07, but because of the size of the room it was much harder to measure the improvement air quality, we felt it worked best when placed nearer to the kitchen. The lounge area has large double doors where we usually get the SSE prevailing winds which come off the Coral Sea.
We did not use the Dyson HP07 in either the guest bedroom or the second bathroom as these areas are very rarely used.
Overall we are very satisfied with the Dyson HP07; it was easy to assemble as the instructions were very clear. The only areas I felt that could be improved were the user manual should have been included with the product rather than being down loaded from the internet. The assembly instructions stated “Use both hands to lift your machine out of the box, by its base”. I have assumed that this applies at all times and lifting the unit is awkward; some sort of lifting handle would be useful. I would also have liked to see how many KWH were being used.
However, these small problems would not stop me from giving the Dyson HP07 a five star rating.
- +4
Style, Performance and Function are perfect with the HP07 – We're a family of 5 with our middle child being born in a HIE condtion and spent her first 6 months in ICU. As a result winters have been a difficult time for her trying to cope with a range of respiratory anomalies that have largely been difficult to medically diagnose. We've tried humidifiers, dehumidifiers, salt lamps, cool medicated mist… Read more
diffusers and so on with varying degrees of success but in most part offering negligible difference.
Now the Dyson HP07. As with other devices I was sceptical, however it's performance is simply fantastic. The unit itself is whisper quiet and doesn't make a single sound during operation and oscillation. The real-time data air quality and analysis data is like nothing I've seen before. Basic functionality and AQM data is available on the unit itself but the Dyson App is next level in everyway. From the app, not only can you remotely control it while away from home, the in-depth air quality information is fantastic. One particular Friday, I mowed the lawn on the ride-on round the house. Check my photos for the result.
The the actual filtration efficiency is the best I've experienced. This winter my daughter hasn't had the coughing fits that have plagued her for years. We have it set up to heat and oscillate this winter in the hallway for the kids bedrooms. It's set up on a timed operation to start and stop at intervals during the day and night with the AQM monitoring mode set to continuous.
The heating and cooling functions round off this appliance which has become vital to one of my kids daily health and a comforting air purifier for the whole family.
Setup is easy, installation and filter replacement is simply a matter depressing two buttons on the body.
I couldn't recommend it more highly.
Is it a purifier? Is it a heater? Is it a fan? No...it's all of these rolled into one with some added bells & whistles – In the spirit of full disclosure; I have been provided this product for review by productreview.com.au. I have a dyson v11 stick vac. Any smoking is done outside but we have 2 dog, one that loves shedding fur inside the house. Now that is over - here comes the review. My Short Assessment: This is a well designed air purifier with a better than… Read more
average fan heater and the recognizable Dyson style. Comparing the price to fan heaters is foolish - this is not a fan heater, and it shouldn't be comparable to a $100 or $200 item. Comparing the price to an air purifier - you may be paying a small premium but getting so much more. The purifier's measurement of Air Quality is informative, some may suggest it is 'too much'. If I was planning to buy an air purifier - then I would definitely place this on top of my shortlist. If getting a heater or fan was also on the cards - then getting this all-in-one would be an easier decision.
My Detailed Assessment:
Packaging and 'as received'. The HP007 comes well packaged. Some minor assembly is needed to install the filters into the covers, and attach these to the unit itself. Instructions are brief, but with a QR code that can direct the new owner to the dyson website. A very minor criticism, is they have provided a 4fold slightly bigger than an A4 sheet; but blank on one side. As i do - I tried assembling the filters in different orientations - but the design is pretty forgiving. Left right / rotated 180 deg - all seem to work OK. 1 small observation - one orientation seemed to have a slight misalignment. This would probably not be noticeable except for me being particularly picky. Refer Photo A
Initial Use: As with many consumers I ignored the instructions. The remote seems self evident, albeit my initial thoughts are that its small size will probably make it easy to loose. The HP07 doesn't seem to have a place to store the remote like a cradle - but wait - I was wrong. When I did read some instructions I discovered there are magnets on the remote that allow it to be attached to the top of the unit. I appreciate this is consistent with the overall minimal feel of the unit. Battery replacement seems to require a small Phillips head screwdriver; probably one way to prevent the button battery from becoming a hazard for children. I attached a power meter to the unit to measure the energy use.
Heating: This arrive during winter - so I immediately wanted to test the heating. Can it heat a small room? - yep; it can make it comfortable. Can it heat a larger room? I think no reasonable person would expect that, but it can provide a good warm airflow towards you. The tilt and manual rotation makes it easy to aim it. The auto rotation function works well, with obvious guidance on the front display panel. Energy Consumption: ~1800 - 2000W/hr which is typical of many fan heaters. It does seem to hit 2600W for a brief amount of time during startup. refer images below.
Cooling: It is winter time (Melb June/July) that this test is happening, so the cooling has been explored but not fully tested - other than; yes - it seems to somewhat cool the air. I'll jump back on here ~ Dec / Jan to add some more meaningful comments. Cooling seems to use approx 5 W/hr Tilt / rotate etc functions provide the same benefit as mentioned above.
Purifier: For me - it is pretty hard to actually feel any benefit from the purified air. In time I may notice something, but I guess it is the same with any purifier. Maybe I need to have faith it is performing it's job. The HP007 provides an indication of the particle sizes and amounts via its display. This is easier seen when using the phone app [DysonLink] Purifier uses ~ 2.5 W/hr
Night Mode: Works well with very little noise and nil lights evident. DysonLink: This app was easy enough to locate and install. The instructions and built in search made it easy to connect with the unit. This was particularly good as I'm concerned I will loose the small remote one day - and there are no controls on the unit itself - other than the on/off button - and this will allow me to continue using this unit event without the remote. A minor observation - when scrolling through the various screens (via the (?) button) you get a brief description of the quality indicator i.e. PM2.5 and its scale, and how to respond if the values are poor, but it may be good if it actually described in layman's terms what this actually was.
One evening, my phone was unable to connect with the unit, but I followed the instructions and resolved this quickly.
Style & Weight This is a very nice looking unit, sleek and very obviously a Dyson product. It seems to be a more compact unit than other similarly rated purifiers. Maybe i shouldn't - but I've moved it around by lifting it from the inner opening. When you look deeply - you can see a lot of thought going into the design. Maybe something to indicate where the remote could be attached - could help. There is also the expected Dyson - your filter may need changing - feature. After quite some use - my filter indicator has not moved from 'new'.
But does it work? Heating - yep within reasonable use. Fan - probably yep Air purifier (Air Quality + humidity reduction) - it says so - so I guess so.
And value for money? This is not a budget item - none of the Dyson products are. If you were planning to buy an air purifier - this may come in at a small premium, but is likely to be a better quality unit with the added features. The heater will add $$ to your electricity bill; but if you were replacing an older heater you may find the controls here to allow better control of the heat and thus a slight reduction in electricity consumption.
It’s more than “just” a fan, it's a work of art! – Made to impress, the unboxing experience was Apple like, all components were in clear view in recyclable bags with clear instructions on how to assemble/ fit the filters. The Dyson was vertical and ready to plug in within a few minutes. The first thing I noticed is the fan can be tilted so if floor standing the air can be directed at someone… Read more
sitting rather than putting the unit on a desk.
The Dyson fan comes with a simple remote that i found later is magnetic and can be stored safely on top of the fan, the remote controls the fan speed, direction of air, temperature settings, timer and night mode. But if you want all the cool stuff the Dyson can be connected to your home or office network and can controlled by your phone by downloading the app for IOS or Android with Alexa support. The app installation is quite easy and also allows you to register and activate your warranty.
So what is the cool stuff, using the app firstly you input your suburb and you’re the air quality for your location is displayed. The fan oscillation can be set in degrees to either cool or have hot air blown directly onto you or the whole room and can be instantly adjusted. The Dyson has two modes the front of the fan can send air directional or if you chose the reverse direction for the air flow the air is more dispersed and cools a larger area. The heating mode can be set and controlled either by the phone app or by the handy small remote allowing you to set and forget to your desired temperature which is displayed on the small display on the Dyson fan which I loved. The Dyson measures the air quality of the room while running and the small display provide a clear indication of the current air quality and graphs the level. Mounted in the base are the HEPA filters which removes pollen, bacteria and fine dust particles making the unit ideal for those who suffer from airborne allergies and asthma. I found the Dyson quiet on the minimum settings up to about 3 and you could feel the airflow as a gentle breeze, yes it does get noisy at the top of the range but no noisier than a room air-conditioner. The Dyson certainly can pump out the heat when in heat mode and with the powerful airflow warm a room quiet quickly. So is it just a fan? No the Dyson can be controlled by your phone, the remote or Alexa. It heats and filters the air in night mode turns all LCD and lights off, can be set to turn its self on or off via the timer programme and funnily enough movers air without the buffeting. The unit is kid safe as there are no moving parts for little fingers to get into and it looks so dam cool in any room.
HP07 model is an all rounder – Like most product review readers, I read the comments about a product I’m interested in and conduct my own research prior to buying such a product. With that said and understood this is ultimately a fan forced unit so I wasn’t expecting (like some comments) a heater capable of scorching a room or a refrigerator in my home for that you have… Read more
central/ducted heating, wood fire place etc. or refrigerating a room like a split system or ducted air conditioner.
This unit purifiers and heats a room really well ( I haven’t tried to sweat in 37degrees as 22 is hot enough for me) and the cool function gives you that how would I describe it.... a wonderful ocean breeze on a stinking hot day, it’s really a satisfying feeling.
Things I like; - purifies, heats and cools all in one product no need for additional heat, cold or air purification units - wifi connects (can’t tell you enough how sensible and useful that is, I don’t even worry about the remote as I always have my phone with me) - The user can control everything via remote or the Dyson link app(as above point) and everyone else in the household can connect the unit - Live Data coming form the HP07 continuous monitoring (if you want it on that is) showing you any spikes and what times relating to temp, air pollutants etc. - Remote activation of the unit within a wifi signal (like when you arrive home just turn it on from your car, by the time you come in, get settled, your room will be to your desired temperature (so good) - The Dyson link looks great, it’s user friendly, and provides all the data you need about what’s happening in your room/section in the home - helps reduce high humidity in your room too!
Things I don’t like? - The price, hey we all want something that’s great at a cheaper price - (update) it does use more power then I thought our power bills have increased
Things Dyson could improve? - via the app provide the user with a room scale and placement of furniture to provide the optimal location to place the unit and including any elevation requirements
- the thermostat is whack! I’ll have it on 17 degrees overnight and it ends up heating the room to 18.5 (tested on two seperate temp readers in our bedroom)
All in all it is a good machine I just wouldn’t leave it on all night like other heaters that regulate a consistent temp
Pretty bloody good – I've been using this non stop for about a week now and can say that I am quite impressed by it, so much so, I intend on getting more for my house. I received this as part of a review offer from product review themselves so I was very hesitant to give it a perfect review for fear of them thinking it was a con! However, a week in I have found a… Read more
few shortcomings, albeit small ones. As we've had a bit of cooler weather lately the product has spent much of it's time on the heat mode. I can safely say this will NOT heat your house up in the same sense that a traditional heater/reverse cycle/ducted unit would, but it does increase the temperature of the room by a few degrees.
I've had this unit set up both in our living room, and in our office. As my partner has been working from home a lot lately I will switch the Dyson on and put it in the office before i leave for work. Usually the room has heated up from about 18 degrees to 22, which takes about an hour. I monitor this through the temperature sensors fitted with our ducted system rather than using Dysons onboard sensors, which always seem to give an optimistic number. 22 - 24 degrees is the absolute warmest this machine will bring a room to. After setting it to 37 degrees and then testing temperature of the air coming out, i found that the temperature of air coming out is around 26 degrees. However, I am happy to overlook this as i have also been eyeing off our electricity usage and despite running it in one form or another for about 16 hours a day, our day to day usage has remained virtually the same. I've seen a few kw increase per day, which equates to say $0.50, or $3.50 per week. This is incredibly low when compared to something like our ducted system that can cost upwards $5 per day when run for the same amount of time.
Overall, for a heater, it's good for a small room, or as a "personal" heater that's directed to you only. I do not think it will successfully achieve heating a room the size Dyson claims it will.
On cool mode i don't really notice any difference between it and any other fan. It is however a lot cooler to look at! It had the kids amazed for quite some time. It's quiet for a fan though, on all but the highest setting. It does a good job of circulating the air around our living room which is about 6 meters x 4 meters. I didn't use the remote as I had the phone app, seems redundant.
Pros:
- App ease of use
- The app functionality is supreme. It logs EVERYTHING with only a 15 minute delay between recording and logging. You can then go back through and see that data whenever you want. The only thing i wish they included was the ability to click on a specific section at any point in time, alas, maybe it's something they will add in the future. It's not so bad though, it just means you have to zoom in further and sort of guestimate the variations rather than getting an exact. However through the app you can position the machine in the direction you want, then start the oscillation from the point you choose, which I found super impressive. You can change temperature, fan speed/ hot or cool modes, degree of oscillation, as well as being able to turn it on or off.
- The screen is handy, although it could be classed as a bit gimmicky since you have the phone app.
- It looks pretty cool!
- It does a good job of keep pollutants down. The auto mode works well for this.
- Night mode is an actual night mode. No light disturbances, unlike some of our other purifiers.
- Tilting base for when you want to angle air upwards/downwards.
Cons:
- Expensive! Not sure its purchase price is worth what it offers for the average family.
- Not sure the filter sensor is accurate. Still at 100% after 7 days?
- Doesn't heat up to stated temperature.
Overall if you can stomach the price, and the ongoing filter replacements (Which the machine seems to think will last forever!) I think it's a good trade off for functionality, ease of use, and a cool looking machine that works as a heater, or fan, while making sure you're breathing in only the cleanest air!
Given that I have used Dysons vacuums extensively for commercial cleaning in the past and had nothing but pleasant experiences with customer service representatives when issues have shown up, id be confident that this would last a long time, and should any issues arrive, I'm sure they would help you resolve them hassle free.
Love it so far! – We have been using our air purifier for about a week now, to be honest I had some reservations about the whole thing, I wasn't sure if it was a gimmick or not but given my allergies I had to give it a go. Let me preface this review by saying I'm not using this machine as a 1) heater or 2) air con. I don't expect it to do either of those things… Read more
and to me, the heating and cooling elements are just an added bonus that I had low expectations of but was pleasantly surprised by. Upon opening the box I was pleased to find everything so well packed. The filters and body of the machine were very well protected and although there wasn't much paperwork, the 2 instruction sheets that were there were easy to understand and it took only about 5 mins to set up and get running.
We currently live in Brisbane western suburbs where gum trees and wattles are all flowering proffusely. I was having severe reactions to this pollen load and was taking antihistamines 2x a day to try and combat these symptoms (runny nose, itchy scratchy sore eyes, felt like i had a head cold, conjested, blocked nose intermittently and sneezing a lot) My silky terrier is also highly allergic to almost everything and was also having conjestion/wheezing issues from the pollen (shes an inside dog). I live with the house closed up for the most part especially at these times of year as we have no choice but we were both still suffering indoors. Within 1 hour of having the machine on in our main living/dining/kitchen areas (its open plan) my eyes were significantly less sore and itchy and scratchy feeling. And since using it daily just for an hour or so, my nose has stopped running constantly too! My little dog has also stopped wheezing. These results are enough to make me over the moon with the product, especially considering its acutally the middle of winter right now and not even peak pollen season!
But onto the nitty gritty of the review:
Things i love:
1) The fan is so quiet on the lowest settings you barely even know its on! But similarly, when when its on full speed, its not very loud and has a pleasant brown noise kind of sound to it as opposed to the oldschool pedistal fans which sound like a jet engine or white noise which is higher pitched and annoying at best. 2) The direction of air flow is changeable and has a very wide range unlike regular pedistal fans. It successfully blows air into every corner of the room rather than just maybe 50% of it. 3) Its small and can fit anywhere, the shape is easy on the eye and its very stable on the ground without the huge sticky outy legs that pedistal fans have. I love that it doesn't have to sit on a bench either. It does look easy to clean as well, a soft cloth would take care of dust etc in no time. 4) I love that it has a remote and that allows me to change the settings from across the room, or like last night, turn it on and off from bed if/when I needed a little bit of air flow but don't want to turn on the ceiling fan and freeze to death in the morning. 5) I like the colour, being white and silver its pretty nutral 6) The shape of it is easy to carry and move around the house room to room as needed. 7) It serviced a VERY large room with no worries at all. Something I was quite surprised at. I thought for sure our main living area would be far too big. But it did a wonderful job. 8) It heated said large room well. By no means is it an air condiditoner or a heater and I think people should be wary of buying it to act as such. Its an air purifier, let's not get confused here. But it did absolutely heat the room to a comfortable temperature- the same room that Hubby and I would normally be huddled under a blanket in. Being winter, I'm unable to test the cooling temps too much, but last night I did have it set to the cool temp of 24 and it did a good job once again. (Interestingly, 24 on the heater setting is way warmer which is why I had to put it onto cold settings- apparently it doesn't just auto change over. You have to manually click the blue cool button to get cooler temps.) 9) I'm not sure if it's supposed to work this way or not, but the remote is curved to the same shape as the top of the fan- if you sit it on there, its magnetically stuck! This was SUPER handy for keeping the remote with the device and not losing it, especially while moving it around the house. 10) Within 10 minutes it completely removed the dinner smell from my very large living/dining/kitchen area. The house just smelled clean and fresh as opposed to the last thing we cooked.
Things that could be better: 1) The cord is relatively short. I need an extension lead sometimes to be able to put it in the best position for the room and shape of the house- these best positions are shown on the pamplet that comes with the machine so it's not like its personal choice of where I wanted it. The cord on the fan is really quite short and could use to be at least 50cm longer in my opinion to allow for these ridgid places it has to go. 2) There are no real words on the remote. Its just symbols. You do get a brief overview in the instruction pamplet (its 1 page ) but having them written even just 1 word actually ON the remote would help greatly. 3) The app was a little slow to get registering. Also- Where I live wasn't recognised at all, so I had tochoose the nearest city to get the app to show the weather and conditions. 4) When changing fan speeds the machine is whisper quiet however when I changed it over from hot to cold air at 2am this morning, it made an electronic grinding clunking sound when changing modes. This may be a little annoying for those who would need to make these setting changes at night or with babies sleeping etc. For me, I thought I broke the machine lol. But it worked well and did what I was telling it to after those sounds so i guess its fine. 5) Seeing the air quality in my home is cool but I wish more info was easily accessible while its showing you the readings. It gives you all these acronyms that you later then have to go to a diferent part of the app to find then go back to the home screen to see your actual individual readings. It'd be more user intuitive to have a tiny blurb under each one so you know what you're looking at straight away. 6) The replacenement filter prices are insane. ($100 from Dysons website) If we need to be keeping them replaced every 6m or sooner that could run out to be very expensive. I used to live in a coal mining town in central qld and I can already foresee these filters being full within probably 2 weeks. (The dust and coal levels out there are incomprehensible year round) This would run out to be VERY expensive and would likely stop me using the machine altogether.
I'm content to keep using this air purifier and see how it holds up during spring and with our next power bill too. It will be interesting to see how well it handles higher pollen loads. I will likely come back and give an update then and possibly again at the 12 month mark or sooner if anything goes wrong.
Good looking, but POWER hungry – I mean, the Dyson products are stylish, usually reliable, and good, but I fear the running costs and the purchase price may be disproportional to the value of the product. The only thing that will make the product a good purchase is if it lasts a long time. Hope so. Show details
Like it. Using it everyday all seasons – Probably one of the favourite gadget in the home. Using it everyday in all seasons. Absolutely in love. Haven't get to the point to change the filter yet, will need to look into where to get and how much they are. Show details · 1
