- In this video we review Dyson air purifiers. How much airflow do they really have? Are they really as bad of a value as they seem to be? We answer these questions and many more in this video.
Note that this review applies to non-Cryptomic Purifier Cool models (TP07 and TP01) and the Cryptomic Purifier Cool Formaldehyde (TP09). It's also applicable for all Purifier Hot+Cool models (HP09, HP07, and HP02) and both Purifier Humidify+Cool models (PH04 and PH03).
Current list of top rated air purifiers overall:
1. Winix 5500-2 on Amazon - geni.us/yD1ZE
2. Coway Mighty on Amazon - geni.us/B1q9
3. Austin Air HealthMate on Amazon - geni.us/RJMt4c

I’m a Dyson fan but man you did a great job with being truly unbiased, not directly writing it off but also being honest about the downsides. Keep it up.
Another great video.This is one of the few channels where I feel like i'm getting real information and not a sales job.
Thanks to all your great info. I ended up going with a HealthMate, mostly because the cheaper top purifiers on your list were harder to find with my country’s voltage. As I live in a polluted city center, I figured I can benefit from the extra gas filtration capacity too.
Having the carbon filter in front of the HEPA filter would be an awful idea. The only job for activated carbon is to absorb gases into the microscopic holes in the carbon. Putting it in front could easily clog those holes and negate the efficiency of the activated carbon. Dyson chose that order for a reason.
Yeah I never understood this criticism and it bothers me how much he brings it up every video.
I don't care about the minute longevity advantages having it in front would provide. I care about how well it filters overall, and for most people, toxic gasses are going to be a bigger issue than particles.
Having it in front would like you said clog the filter faster, but it would also give less time and less of a chance for VOCs to get filtered out. Plus when exposed more, the carbon gets worn out faster.
The pre filter should do a much better job of clearing out dust and particles than the carbon filter would, especially if it's a pellet based carbon filter that won't do anything for particles.
It really should be quality washable pre-filter, maybe some cheapy replaceable filter-HEPA-carbon
Dyson big and quiet review it
The guy is a idoit true
I have this model and it’s utterly amazing. The filters are nearly 2 years old and they still have 40% life left in them according to the app at least. It’s so effective at heating a room, and the airflow is so good, while it’s no AC, it goes a long way to cooling down a room.
I had this one and it broke down after 2 years
Great review as usual! What is about Big+Quiet BP03 - does it also have same problem with air flow?
If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!
very good info...thanks.
I really appreciate your equipment reviews!
Request: I’ve not found in-depth analysis of portable air coolers. I live in Southern California and need an air cooler the does not require outdoor ventilation.
😊 Thank you…
you are the best review channel, hope to see more kind of products
Thank you for the kind words! I'll do my best to test new types of products in the future.
Gostei muito da vossa análise , Obrigado 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Best review right THERE
Thank you so much for this information! I just found out that Ive had a bad leak on the bottom of my shower liner. Im scared of black mold forming.Whats best for black mold? I read that puroair Hepa is..do you have an opinion on this?I called a contractor to come and rip out my shower liner and replace it with a new one. The drywall to 2 main walls also was wet behind wall paneling. It will cost thousands to rip it all out & I cant afford that right now:/ but I dont want harmful spores in the air while I start saving money to try to fix all of this. But it will take months.
Can you review Winix AM80 True HEPA Air Purifier with Washable Advanced Odor Control (AOC) Carbon Filter, 360sq ft Room Capacity, Dark Grey, Large
Can you pls review the WANSID 2000 Sq.Ft 30 pint Dehumidifier? It's Dimensions are 8"D x 10"W x 15"H.
I have the HP04 for 3 years now best machine
Great Review! 👍Yes, Dyson Fan air purifiers are NOT serious air purification solutions and I've never recommended any of them to customers to help improve the overall air quality in their environments. The new Big and Quiet appears to be a much better and more serious air purifier than their Fan options but is it elite? Because it sure is expensive...😃
All your points about Dyson’s system are “on paper” true. However, in real world tests, Dyson’s excel at purifying air. Watch the vacuum wars reviews. There is deeper engineering and theory going on at Dyson than the simple specs of CFM. I personally have 3 different Dyson models and LOVE THEM
Thank You.
An important thought about air purifiers is are they sealed. Most aren't sealed. You'll notice after a few months of use even the clean air vents are covered in dust. I would love to know which purifiers you've tested are actually sealed to mitigate this.
My TPO1 works perfect for the bedroom. It's kept me and my girl cool during hot summer nights, while making sure the air isn't toxic💪🏿
No way I'd use these in large rooms.
Show me a comparison for a Dyson Big + Quiet.
I was in the process of buying a new air purifier and was a bit surpriced about the claim that most of the air was bypassing the filter.
I actually contacted Dyson about the claims of this video. They explicitly told me that all the air is getting pulled through the filter. The hole in the back is for when you don't want the fan to blow air at you, but to have it blow towards the back (They call it Diffuse Mode).
So my question is, how did you came to your conclusion?
Or is Dyson just flatout lying to me?
I asked this question regarding the TP09 model.
This was due to the testing methodology. If they had used the diffuse mode, there is no mixing of the purified air with the surrounding air as it would have been with the cooling mode (fan mode). I’d like to see updated numbers and testing under the diffuse mode as this is a more comparable setting to that of other air purifiers.
Nice video. What about the Dyson big and quiet? This is supposed move more air around the room than a standard purifier.
New Big + Quiet models have about 200 CFM of purified airflow - still less than top rated units like the Winix 5500-2 but much more than the smaller Dyson air purifiers I talk about in this video.
@@consumer-analysis you are the man
Will you be reviewing the Dyson BP03 / BP04? They look to be their best one yet.
Yes, I plan on buying one and testing it, hopefully in the next few months.
Hi. I have a TP 04. Is it worth an upgrade or should I keep using the old purifier?
I have hp04 and no need upgrading
@consumer-analysis You need to review the Xiaomi Mi 3 h. It's very popular, it has a pellet based activated carbon filter, a prefilter, a true hepa filter. They claim they remove formaldehyde. And it has a very good app control. It might be so good that It could beat the Winix 5500-2!
I’m trying to find this product. If you have time, can you link the unit your referring to? Thank you.
I like Dyson. But, a big problem is that their latest filters smell after a couple months. It obtains the smells. I think it's the charcoal filter they used.
I own one 3 years HP04 no smells
@@hogman3543 lucky you. I have 5 Dyson air purifiers in my home. One which is a combo unit with a heat keeps retaining smells. It’s a well known issue if you search online. Most people think it’s the charcoal’s filter but some believes it’s the heating elements because non heat combo units are fine.
I rushed into buying one and regret the purchase. There was a heatwave at the time, my non air-conditioned apartment was pushing 50°C and my IQ melted to the low 80s. I got taken in by words like "cool" in the marketing and "pure air". Now I'm stuck with a fan that requires £65 air filter replacements twice a year. They do indeed smell after a while and they also reduce the air flow once saturated. The only thing it has going for it is it's looks. Honestly for the level of cost involved with these units you're better off getting a whole HVAC system installed, air filtering is more efficient outside the house, filter in external air and extract internally polluted air.
Do you think there is a good alternative. I’m looking for a product like the dyson hot and cool, but working well for a bedroom.
I'm not aware of any good alternatives. If you need fan, heater, and air purifier functionality all in one appliance I think Dysons are a good option.
My advice from owning one that’s now in the city landfill..Don’t buy it
I understand the issue you have with the Dysons but the new Big and Quiet Formaldehyde BP04 looks like might be a significant improvement. It would be awesome if you could review that unit at some point.
@consumer-analysis I read many comments on various videos which say that the carbon filter being in front is wrong and it is better if the HEPA is in front so that it can trap the dust and then the carbon filter only has to trap the gases. However you say that it is better if the carbon filter is in front of the HEPA. Can you please clarify on this point ?.
If the Carbon filter is behind the HEPA filter then you will eventually get carbon particles in the air. The HEPA filter will catch any carbon particles when it is the last filter.
The best air purifier manufacturers ALWAYS put the HEPA filter last:
IQAir, Aeris/iRobot, Airpura (who are carbon experts), and even Austin Air.
When I see a manufacturer put the carbon filter last it immediately tells me they don't really understand air purification.
@@AirPurificationEducation great point 👍👍
@arjunprabhu6742 Don't listen to this guy he is waffling nonsense. Use your common sense if the carbon filter is at front all the dust will be trapped on it before it even reaches the HEPA filter search some videos see how much dust is collected on dyson.
I bought a dyson heater fan that has the purifier. I really don't use it for the purifier tho. Honestly my filter is almost 100% uses and the hepa is still white. It's a dyson hp07 I got on sale for $299 2 years ago.
I use my hp07 all the time
omg that's sucha good deal! I'm looking at $700 for hp07 right now :(
How about dyson purifier big+quiet formaldehyde?
@@robbiegwald If someone could do a large room test with a few obstacles to see if there are any benefits to the directed airflow of the big+quiet, that would be super useful.
There purifiers suffer from a design flaw which means there is a high risk of the motor whining due to a motor bearing issue. Very common issue
It was, mine was effected. Dyson repaired it, no quibble. It’s no longer a problem for these machines.
Exactly, Went through 5 of them, sold it and got a Coway, these things don’t last with that shitty whiny motor.
Yikes the Dyson specs indicate a much high CFM and there is no mention of actual purified air being provided.
I just bought a Dyson BP04 this week and don't see how they say this is better . The Dyson BP04 says it delivers "23 gallons of airflow per second3 of purified air over 32 feet. So 23 x 60 (seconds) is 1380 Gallons per Min, and would mean that Dyson TP09 delivers more as their website says "77 Gallons per second" and that's 4620 gallons per min, and would cover 617.60 cubic feet. If it was all purified air.
if your calculations to fill a 1500 square foot condo, and Dysons Bp04 only covers 1380 gallons per min thus only 184 cubic feet / min then I would need at least 6 of the new Dyson BP04 to cover a 1500 square foot condo.
I think something is off, Dyson will not show their CADR rate for any of their purifiers, only saying X amount of gallons of air per second.
I was thinking about returning the BP04 and for that same price of $1187 getting a Conway Airmega 400S and a couple Conway Airmega AP-1512HHS but i honestly don't know anymore.
Conway displays their CDAR rating but does not share the amount of air in gallons per second so it is hard to compare between Dyson and other brands because of that.
I don't understand how they can claim with the BP04 that its "New airflow delivery system offers more than double the airflow of previous models," if its only 23 gallons of purified air per second. If the TP09 is 77 gallons of air per second. That would mean the TP09 delivers only HALF of what the BP line does so that 77 gallons would go actuary towards a 11 gallons per second or 12 gallons per second of actual purified air.
Suggestions? Should I return this Dyson BP04 and go with 1x Conway Airmega 400S and a couple Conway Airmega AP-1512HHS or what is best ???
You should probably check out his video prior to this one: The Best Large Room Purifier… V2
In that video, he states at the end that, though he usually recommends multiple 250 CFM rated machines for a large room, he is making an exception for the Medify MA-112 given its high CFM output.
He also goes over the complications of purifying air for a large room, and what you should consider when you factor those in.
Conway, as a brand though, is fine I’m sure, and I think you going with your plan of the big Conway in a big room with the other Conway AP-1512HHS in other rooms is an assured way to purify air throughout your condo.
@@davidalesia6881 yeah true , and Dyson won’t even reply to my messages. When it comes to air purifiers there are 3 things that matter. CDAR, ACH, AND CFM, and Dyson has failed to provide me any of that information officially . Iv calculated it and Dyson is falsely advertising all of their air purifiers . This is a lawsuit waiting to happen . But yeah only thing I like is the display and the sensors, if Dyson just sold independently Air Quality Sensors that would be great . But their air purifier even this too if the line BP04 does not meet my expectations at all. I have a Dyson animal ball 3 vacuum, u can clearly see taking it apart how it is built differently to justify the $499 vacuum price , however there’s nothing from this BP04 that justifies $1187 after tax. It’s built like any other air purifier only with a co2 sensor and a Flormdyhde filter. That’s it. I had a Sensibo air purifier but it did not even react to my cologne or anything. It would only react to smoke from my vape or a certain watermelon fresh smelling air spray but nothing else . The BP04 reacts to everything from my colognes to literally any kind of sprays I spray in the vicinity of it, so it does a good job sensing. I’ll give Dyson that but the amount of room coverage for device that big is ridiculous. if they’re saying their new technology now does 23 gallons per second that’s 1380 gallons of purified air per min and 184 cubic feet per min CFW, per my calculations. WHICH is way less than 250 CFM for a large room: And their TPO9 claims it puts out 77 gallons per second , how ? If it’s not the new technology in the BP line so that would mean only 10-12 gallons per second on the TP09 is actually purified air coming out. Dyson full of lies and false advertising.
Dyson big and quiet review it
..top rated overall are not looking that nice to put them in your home, I would always go with something it looks better but maybe you need to wait longer to clean your air. All purifiers generate some air circulation inside your room pushing along with purified air also the uncleaned air, more or less depending the type. Good filters and nice look... if one clean your air in 30 min and the other in 1 hour it doesn't matter that much.
You completely ignored the diffuse mode which only purifies the air and does not function as a fan.
Source?
A complete deal breaker for anyone who's looking for an actual air purifier, Dyson should stick to just fans...
Their vacuums are decent too
@@SeanonyoutubeThey are not the best vacuums no
Over priced
@@blakaegthey literally make the best cordless vacuums not even a debate 😂
@@PresidentEvil I don't know about that. Yes, in terms of performance and features they make the best cordless vacuums (we have one).
However, Dyson's insistence on using shitty materials like cheap plastic have made us opt for another vacuum cleaner that cleans slightly worse but has better build quality.
The plastic rubs so badly that switching between tools is a chore and nothing ever fits well.
Not impressed with our newest Purifier, hot and cold. Will never buy another. Warranty sucks and Dyson’s customer service is a joke too!
So many better products out there today. I will be telling everyone I know not to support or buy their products.
Yea costumer service sux these days ..I bought the hot and cold one broke after 2 years was going to cost a lot of money to have it fixed and that was driving 2 hours down the road to find someone to work on it ..I just ended up dumping it in the landfill..Now I’m looking to replace and wondering which brand should I purchase..Just looking for an air purifier without all the whistles ..A good dependable one
