Product Information

Originally launched alongside the Dyson V11 cordless vacuum cleaner, the Pure Cool Me is a personal fan, designed to keep you cool while you’re sitting at your desk. max setting. Tested for filtration efficiency (EN1822) at 0.1 microns and “excellent’’ whole room coverage (TM-003711 and DTM801) in a 27m² room. Dyson offer their customers lifetime support, no additional costs, and a two- or five-year guarantee. Through building customer trust and brand loyalty they have managed to connect with their audience to offer household products that many are now unable to imagine living without. The new fan design means that the Dyson Pure Cool Me comes fully assembled with the filter in place. To replace the filter you simply lift the top off, pull the old one out and drop the new one in. This is a far easier than on the previous models, such as the Dyson Pure Cool Tower, where the filter was in two parts.

Instead, the Pure Cool Me is a product that’s built to give a single person a burst of cool and fresh air. Working at a desk, it works perfectly, with its directional blast of air perfectly suited to hitting just yourself. The next-closest product to offer personal cooling is the Evapolar Personal Air Cooler, which uses evaporative cooling to chill the air. It works well and costs around half the price of the Dyson. However, it’s more difficult to position because it’s a cube with no fan adjustment, and it doesn’t purify the air. As with previous Dyson fans, control is entirely via the remote control – the only button on the fan is a power button. Using the remote you can set the fan speed (10 speeds), set a timer (30 mins, one hour, two hours, four hours and eight hours) and toggle oscillation. As a fan, the Dyson Pure Cool Me is rather impressive. Core Flow is quite incredible, giving a precise burst of cool air in any direction you want; move ever so slightly out of the sweet spot and you can’t feel a thing. As well as cooling just you, there’s a second advantage: the Pure Cool Me doesn’t blow bits of paper around on your desk or bedside table as other fans do.Sound levels are just as impressive. Measuring the Dyson Pure Cool Me on maximum speed at 63.5dB from 15cm shows how quiet this model is: you can talk over it. On minimum speed there’s just a gentle hum, and I measured it at 37dB. To see how well the Pure Cool Me purified, I lit a smoke pellet and place it behind the fan. I could see the smoke getting pulled in and clean air coming out of the front without any leakage. It took 3mins 50secs before my Nest Protect measured a clean environment. That’s slower than the previous Dyson purifiers I’ve tested, but to be expected as the Dyson Pure Cool Me is more a fan that purifies rather than a whole-room air cleaner. Dyson Pure Cool Me Conclusion Think of the Dyson Pure Cool Me as more a personal fan that happens to blow purified air at you, rather than a product for cleaning the air in a room. Even so, the Dyson Pure Cool Me is capable of capturing 99.95% of ultra-ine particles in the air, sealing them in the filter’s activated carbon and glass HEPA layers. Key to the way that the Dyson Pure Cool Me works is Core Flow. Inspired by the Harrier Jump Jet, Dyson engineers discovered that when two jets of air meet on a convex surface, they converge to create a high-pressure, focused stream of air. In practice, this means pinpoint control over the direction of that stream of air. Namesake and founder James Dyson initially dreamed of a bagless vacuum cleaner; and through years of hard work and many failures, he eventually realised this dream. Today, the hugely successful Dyson product range has extended to include hairdryers, fans and air purifiers as well.

Since its inception in 1978, Dyson has risen to become a true British household name and brand – all thanks to a relentless drive for invention and a refusal to give up. If you’re looking for a larger device to clean a room, then the Dyson Pure Cool Tower or Dyson Pure Hot+Cool– which also heats – are better options (my best air purifier guide has standalone purifiers, too). Yet, to compare the Pure Cool Me to these products isn’t particularly fair, since this isn’t the job it’s supposed to do. Sliding the plastic disc up and down changes the height of the stream, and the fan has a 90-degree oscillation mode to change where it’s pointing. That's going to include things like pollen, bacteria, fungal spores, and other dusts and gases that you don't want to be breathing in. For someone living in an urban environment, this can provide real air filtration on the small scale. This will also take care of things like cooking odours. If you live in the countryside you might be more interested in the pollen filtration, for those living in an inner city appartment, it will filter out traffic pollutants and other nasties. Here, the head of the fan has a convex surface mounted inside a ball head. Although the base of the fan is quite chunky, the head is a lot smaller than on previous Dyson desktop fans, making the Pure Cool Me easier to place on a desk or bedside table (401 x 254 x 247mm).Previous models of Dyson’s purifying fans, such as the Pure Cool Link, have all been fairly large in size. However, with the Dyson Pure Cool Me, the company has enlisted new tech to present a smaller, more personal fan and air purifier. Dyson’s fans have spawned a thousand copies since they first appeared on the market in 2009 but the company hasn’t rested on its laurels. Its design engineers have been hard at work and the Pure Cool Me is the result of their travails. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Gone is the Air Multiplier technology of previous fans, replaced with Core Flow tech, which is inspired by the Harrier Jump Jet.
