When it comes to air purifiers, Dyson's name soars above the rest – a global hallmark of quality air purification. While the brand celebrates a diverse product portfolio, today's focus shifts to Dyson's new entrant in the Indian market, the Dyson Purifier Cool Gen 1.
After extensive use, we are ready to share our comprehensive experience with this air purifier, which comes with a price tag of Rs 34,500 and is available for purchase both online and offline.

The design echos Dyson's existing lineup of air purifiers, one we have previously praised. It resembles a futuristic gadget, disdainful of traditional visible fans.
Not only does this air purifier top in purifying air, but it also doubles as an art piece. Dyson distinguishes itself with a design aesthetic markedly different from any other purifier in the market.
This model eschews visible fans for Dyson's patented air-moving technology, where air is circulated via internal motors rather than blades. The company's Air Multiplier technology directs airflow in various directions, after which it is drawn through the base and purified via a filter system. Locale-specific holes enable this process.
Rivaling common purifiers, this device features dual apertures, allowing for air release from both front and back. Dyson asserts this model clears 99.95% of airborne pollutants, a claim substantiated during our comparison tests with other home purifiers.
While the Dyson Cool Gen1 provides a cooling effect, it's insufficient as a standalone substitute for an air conditioner. In mild warmth, however, it offers a perceptible drop in temperature.
It boasts a 360-degree rotation capability, autonomously revolving to ensure even air distribution – resembling a robot from the future whenever in motion.

The inclusion of a sleek, magnetic remote control combats the all-too-common domestic scourge of misplaced controllers, by enabling attachment to the purifier's top.
Connecting to the Dyson app is a breeze, with its intuitive user interface providing complete control over the air purifier's features. However, some of the flagship features present in other Dyson models are noticeably absent from this app.

Other advanced Dyson models offer 24/7 AQI monitoring and historical pollutant data—features missing here. The company should consider including these enhancements.
Nevertheless, an included round LCD panel provides important information about air quality, with readings for both AQI and pollutant types.
Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 Performance
Delhi holds the dubious distinction of being a leading polluted capital worldwide. There could be no better testing ground for an air purifier. Although pollution levels are currently lower, the capital's AQI has, at times, exceeded the 1000 mark, overwhelming conventional measuring equipment.

Installing and replacing air filters is a hassle-free process with this device, which includes both HEPA and carbon filters to deal with pollutants and allergens, respectively.
Effectively managing a medium-sized room, the purifier can bring down the AQI to 10-15 from high pollution levels within an hour. In cases of extreme pollution, it takes longer to purify. It also keeps smaller rooms cool. Onboard sensors detect PM 2.5, PM 10, No2, and VOCs, and you can view all relevant data on the display.
On noise, the purifier is not completely silent. Setting the fan to maximum speed generates noise which can pervade a room.
Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 Bottom Line
The new Dyson air purifier performs admirably, boasting a distinct appearance and sleek design. If silence is a priority, this purifier may not suit you. However, it efficiently purifies air and filters last up to a year. Dyson's purifiers are pricier, yet they justify their lifespan and consistent performance over years of use. If budget is not a constraint, this purifier is a commendable choice. For more economical options, the market does provide a range of alternatives.
