Living in a metropolitan city has its perks. The basic amenities are taken care of easily. You get a variety of food delivered to your doorsteps and then there is the case of easily available cab services (what a blessing that is!). But there are some downsides as well. Like air pollution, which is an issue for most parts of the year, at least in northern parts of the country. And so, having an air purifier becomes almost a necessity. To counteract air pollution inside our homes and make our living space safer for our family members, Dyson introduced the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier in India.

Just like the company's older air-purifiers, the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier is a premium air purifier that retails at ₹55,900 in India in White-Silver colour variant. If you are looking for an air-purifier for your house and you have enough cash to spare, the Dyson Pure Humidify air purifier can be purchased from Dyson India website, Dyson demo stores, Amazon India and Croma.

Like all of Dyson's air purifiers, such as Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Cryptomic air purifier (REVIEW) and the ones launched before that, the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier, sucks in air from the pores below and projects it from the elliptical loop-like structure above. That is a standard in all of Dyson's air purifiers. What differentiates it from other air purifiers in Dyson's portfolio is the fact that it also acts as a humidifier. This means that apart from supplying purified air, this air purifier also maintains the humidity or the moisture level of the space where it is kept. We will learn more about the design of the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier and its performance in the detailed review below. So, keep reading...

Design

One of the many notable features of Dyson's air purifiers is its design. And the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier is no different. It features the same elliptical loop-like design that is akin to most (if not all air purifiers). This elliptical loop-like design can project air from two directions, from the front, and from the back. Under normal conditions, it projects air from the front. You can also make the slits on either side swivel so that the air is projected to a wider area. In the diffused mode, the purified air is projected from the backside of the air purifier. This is helpful in the colder weather when you don't want the air to be projected right onto your face but be circulated around the house.

This elliptical loop-like structure is mounted on top of a cylinder that is the heart and brain of the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier. It has hundreds of holes all around its length and breadth that suck in air from all directions, purify it and push it up from where the air is projected out.

This cylindrical structure sits on top of a disc-like structure that holds water, which in turn helps in maintaining the moisture level in the space where the air purifier is kept in. The Dyson air purifier unit is accompanied by a remote that can be used for controlling various functions of the device.

Performance

Now, the most important question of this discussion: Is the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier any good?

I have spent quite some time with the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier. I have used it amid the fall time when air quality in the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) is at its lowest owing to crackers and stubble burning in the nearby region. I have used it amid the sweaty months and during the monsoon season, when humidity makes the living conditions difficult and a tad bit uncomfortable. And I must say, that the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier works well no matter what weather conditions you throw at it...ehmm...use it in.

During the fall and early winters, when it gets difficult for kids, elderly people and people with breathing problems, due to excessive pollution, this air purifier makes the air breathable and living inside comfortable. You can feel its impact as irritation of the eyes and headaches go down. And you can see it on the air purifier's air quality index (AQI) as it slowly whizzes from red to yellow and then to green as it works its magic. Amid the peak pollution level days, when the AQI is touching the hazardous level, it takes the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier around 30 to 45 minutes to bring down the air quality of the space where it is kept within safe limits. On other occasions, when the air quality is swinging between moderately bad orange to almost good yellow, it takes Dyson's air purifier around 15 to 20 mins to take charge of the situation and bring order to the room. This time of course varies with the space where you have kept it in. For smaller spaces, like a bedroom, this might be lesser.

Coming to the humidity control part, like fan speeds, you can also control the level of moisture that you want in the room you have placed the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier in. And if those numbers bother you, you can set it to Auto and forget about the rest. This feature is particularly helpful in the hot and humid Indian summers when the moisture makes the temperature soar further.

Overall, the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier provides a comfortable breathing experience, which you will appreciate more if you have kids or elderly people in your house or if you are prone to migraines like me.

In case you are wondering how this gizmo works, the answer is quite simple. The Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool air purifier can be controlled using a remote, which ships with it. It is the standard remote control that you also get with the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Cryptomic air purifier, except the heating controls are replaced by moisture controls. You can also control this air purifier using the Dyson Link app, which shows you other details including the quality of the filters and relative air quality index. Alternatively, you can also control it using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

Conclusion

Dyson offers premium air purifiers that are in a league of their own. They have a futuristic design that is hard to miss and they are extremely efficient at what they do. The Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Cryptomic air purifier is no exception to this r. It checks all the right boxes and does its job well, be it of cleaning the air or of maintaining the right amount of moisture in the air.

Sure, it costs around 56 grand, but if you have the pockets for it, Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Cryptomic air purifier is definitely worth trying.
