purchased for $600 a pop directly through dyson.

Having that said, I love how all the comments are saying a separate unit for air purifying, heating and a fan for half the cost and 2 times more effective.

Great, i'm not arguing that.

But let me ask you this... why are ppl carrying $2,000 iphones around that are obsolete in 4 years. hmm?

shouldn't the same people carry a android tablet, a nokia 3390 and a small LED flashlight with them?

The moral of the story is, if you want everything neatly in a single package, it WILL cost more... don't be silly thinking it should cost less.

Okay, so genuine question. I'm contemplating buying this (I might wait for the Black Friday deals). How are each of the elements of this device?

I heard the fan is really awful compared to others (I have a tower fan so I'm not that concerned). But how is the air purifier? Is it quiet? Is it efficient? And, most importantly, how is the heating element? I'm renting a basement and it gets very cold in the winter. Would this be able to warm a large room in the winters?

Or am I just better off buying a separate heater? Let me know. Thanks.

For example, if I have to run the Dyson turned to 40% of its max vs a "twice-as-powerful" unit at 20% of max to get the same level of cleaning doesn't really matter.

I have an HP04 and like it, would recommend it if looking for a purifier for a small space or bedroom:
+ Space saving combination of purifier, fan, heater
+ Easy to wipe design that's also safe around children
+ Scheduling features and night mode are useful, ability to check and adjust from phone is handy
- It detects PM2.5 as high whenever I have my Levoit humidifier on in the room, read this is common with other purifiers as well so it may just be how the sensors work
- Cost

the plus is you get 2-year warranty instead of one year

Cucumference wrote: ↑ No. The only real metric is price/performance in all the reviews listed here so far. For the same price, it does at best half as good a job. That is why people don't like Dyson. By your logic, you can just run two of the air purifier at half the speed, too. It would still be cheaper. Most reviews also complains that Dyson isn't quieter at any speed.


There's no bad product, just a bad price. Dyson is very much the latter. If it is 1/4 of the cost it would be highly recommanded.

I agree that the fan is mediocre, but the heating is good. It's nice if you have small children / pets because there aren't any fan blades or exposed hot elements.
