No need to run an air purifier and room heater at the same time

It heats in winter and purifies indoor air all year round

IT'S WINTER TIME but pollution levels are still high due to a combination of atmospheric and human factors. But most air purifiers exacerbate the winter chill by pushing out cool drafts along with clean air. This is where a product like the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Gen1 can make a difference, keeping the room air clean and pleasant at the same time. It has the trademark design from the UK tech company with a loop-shaped bladeless fan that throws out the cleaned air sucked in by the filters at the base.

On the front, there is an LED display that gives you a lot of information, from present PM2.5 and PM10 levels to the trend line showing an improvement in air quality as the purifier runs. You can also see the temperature of the heater as well as some animations illustrating how the filter works.
