Frequently asked questions

What is new about the Dyson Purifier range and how is it different to other purifiers?

Dyson engineers are perfectionists. Channelling our relentless dissatisfaction, we have re-engineered the Dyson Purifier range to be our first purifiers fully sealed to HEPA H13 standard. Capturing 99.95% of ultrafine particles and preventing pollutants from leaking back into the air you breathe.

What is different about the Dyson Purifier Formaldehyde range?

The Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde has all of the capabilities found in our advanced purification products but goes a step further to detect and destroy formaldehyde. An added solid state-sensor precisely detects formaldehyde, while our catalytic filter breaks it down into two safer molecules – carbon dioxide and water.

What is formaldehyde and what are common sources of it?

Formaldehyde is a polluting gas formed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen that is commonly found in homes. Common sources of formaldehyde in your home could be: paint and varnishes, air fresheners, mattresses, furniture, household cleaners, carpets, particleboard and plywood, electronics, dryer sheets, nail polish remover, moth balls, toys, fireplaces and wood burning stoves.

How often should I replace my filter?

We recommend replacing the HEPA+Carbon filter every 12 months. That's because over time, filters can get clogged with pollutants, and even let unpleasant odours back into the room. The machine will alert you when it’s time to change filters. A filter life reading can be found on the LCD screen and via the MyDyson™ app. The catalytic filter never needs replacing.
