Pinnacle of air purification and humidification
As expected with all their products, Dyson continues to improve upon their own products and this time they’ve done it again with the new PH03 Purifier Humidify+Cool. The design is very similar to their previous model however it is what’s inside the purifier that really takes a leap in home and office air purification and humification. If you’re familiar with their most recent model, you’ll know it’s quite large compared to most humidifiers but slightly shorter than their upright fans, a little taller than three feet, with a little more bulk at the bottom where the water reservoir is and the Dyson air purification magic takes place. As previously mentioned, out of the box, the unit itself is relatively large and bulky; much larger than the second-generation Dyson humidifier I have been using for the past four years. After removing the numerous amounts of protective cushioning and tape, set up is relatively simple with minimal reliance on the instruction manual. I simply rinsed out and filled up the water reservoir, plugged the unit in and pressed the power button. After that, I connected the fan to my Dyson account through my smartphone app via the built-in Wi-Fi and the purifier’s sensors immediately started measuring the air quality, humidity, filter use, etc. You can either control the fan speed and humidity setting using the included remote, via the smartphone app and even your voice if your Dyson account is synced through your voice assistant(s) like Amazon Alexa or Google Voice. Regarding technology built into the unit, it can automatically sense and adjust to the environment it’s placed into by adjusting the humidity setting, fan speed, etc. and displaying that information on the on-screen display and your smartphone. You can schedule the purifier’s run time(s) via the app as well which is convenient if you only wish for it to run during your sleep or when you’re occupying that area. One of my favorite features of this new model is the deep clean cycle that eliminates mineral build up and bacteria with the touch of a button. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to take apart my last humidifier and hand clean it to remove all that old mineral build up and standing water gunk, whatever that was. Having several Dyson air purifiers already throughout our home, we typically don’t have to replace the filter(s) more between once or twice a year depending on where they are in our home and they are very easy to swap out at a reasonable price. If you suffer from seasonal or year-round allergies like I do, air purifiers are a must-have throughout your home and office. If you live in a hot, dry climate, like I do, a humidifier combined with cooling technology in the bedroom and/or office space is also a must-have. Combining both purification and humidification in the new Dyson PH03 Purifier Humidifier is a no-brainer and would recommend it to anyone in the market and consider it killing two birds with one stone and could potentially even save you money instead of investing in two separate machines.

Purify and humidify effectively and with style
We live in Colorado and have eczema and bad allergies. We're those people that need purifiers and humidifiers in the same room. But the problem is then that they have to be in opposite corners or else the purifier is just going to capture the humidifier and you're just left with clean but dry air. In comes the Dyson Pure Humidify and Cool, a machine that can do both effectively and with style! The thing I love the most about this unit is as mentioned, it does both! But there’s a lot more to it. The design is classic Dyson. It works with most home decor, but not all. Luckily it’s designed to be put in a corner of the room and left alone. We just have it in auto mode for both purification and humidification (you can manually set either if need be) and it takes care of the rest. Love a product that I can set and forget. On a warm day you can turn it to breeze mode where it mimics a breeze and feels really nice. Another thing I love is how well designed and easy to use the myDyson app is. We have multiple Dyson purifiers so it’s nice to be able to access all of them with ease. You can easily connect the newer models to your smart homes as well for even lazier/more efficient control. Last thing I wanted to touch on was the cleaning process. Having come from what’s considered “the easiest to clean humidifier” I appreciate this so much better. It does all the hard work for you, you just have to buy some citric acid (sounds dangerous but is just basically drink sweetener) pour it in there when it tells you and it does its own deep clean. And that water reservoir is LARGE! It usually lasts us about 2 days being set to auto in very dry Colorado. Overall this machine is incredible. Dyson has thought of everything to bring us a product that is not only easy to use and smart, but also easy to maintain with all the modern bells and whistles you could want. If you’ve been using two separate machines for your humidification and purification then this is the machine to get! Pros: A combo unit to eliminate the clutter Dyson design that looks good in most houses Smart and easy way to deep clean We'll crafted app Cons: Steep (but justified) price Large footprint Large wall plug

Superb, elegant, effective filter.
Dyson is known for style, engineering, and functionality, and cutting edge technology This filter is all of that wrapped into 1. Setup: Super simple. Took all but 10 mins max including taking it out of the box where it is securely boxed and packaged. Turned on. Synced with app. Filled water. Turned on. I was up and running. Operation was easy. Using either the app or the remote made is super simple to use. Synchronized with Alexa pretty easy. That took all but 3 mins to do. They have improved this on both ends pretty well now. The app is pretty powerful. It allows for more than 1 device to be controlled. It also shows stats of outside air quality and inside air quality. The different speeds are nice. You can. Use as a Fan or you can have it now out the back and diffuse like a regular filter. The humidifier option is a great figure too to help regulate humidity. Footprint is pretty good. Not too huge. On a side note. I owned another filter by Dyson and had an issue covered under warranty during the height of the pandemic and they made good with their promise to fix my machine... Maintenance cost can be pricey with filters depending on how dirty your air is. But the citric acid bath already comes with a solution that will last quite some time. With all this, I would highly recommend this product for what it is intended for.

Hygienic Humidifier
The Dyson Purifier Humidify+Cool PH03 is an all-in-one air purifying and humidifying device that improves the air quality in your home while also maintaining humidity levels. The device is larger than other Dyson purifiers and also nearly 20 pounds empty, so don’t plan on moving it around the house. Fortunately, the device covers a large area and seems to perform well. The signature Dyson design doesn’t exactly blend in and at 3’ high and nearly a foot wide, you will want to verify you have a dedicated space for it. In my opinion, the standout features of the Dyson Purifier Humidify+Cool PH03 are it’s bacteria reduction measures. In my experience, humidifiers tend to develop bacteria or mold internally. Often times, the smaller cool mist humidifiers can not be taken apart and with evaporative models you have to maintain the evaporator pad which is prone to bacteria. However, the Dyson PH03 has mitigated this with a silver woven evaporator pad which is resistant to bacteria growth, as well as a UVC LED in the water inlet to purify the water prior to evaporation. In addition, the device can clean itself through an automated cleaning mode! Granted the device is costly, but Dyson has put in some desirable features that aren’t common in this market. Besides humidifying, the device uses a HEPA H13 filter to capture 99.97% of airborne particles including dust, pollen, allergens, and other contaminants as small as 0.3 microns. The filter also features a carbon layer able to capture harmful VOCs and gases, further reducing indoor air pollution. Both the filter replacement and cleaning process are simple, and the device even alerts you when it's time to change the filter or run a cleaning cycle, so you never have to worry about it. In addition to humidifying and purifying the air, the device provides pseudo cooling similar to a an evaporative (swamp) cooler. Though you can’t really control this operation directly it does seem to provide cooler air while the humidifier is enabled. You can also turn of the humidifier completely if desired. The Dyson Purifier Humidify+Cool PH03 is also very easy to use, with a user-friendly app and magnetic remote control. The app shows the current temperature, humidity, and air quality, and you can control all functions as well as schedule modes of operation. In addition to standard oscillation modes like other Dyson purifiers, this model features a breeze mode that simulates a “refreshing breeze”. It seemed like a gimmick but I actually found this to be more appealing than traditional oscillation methods. The unit is fairly quiet when running below level 5, but higher speeds are distracting. I found when setting purify to AUTO, the device tended to ramp up the fan to high speed frequently even when air quality was good. The device even stayed at higher fan speeds for prolonged duration leading to several comments from my significant other. Hopefully this behavior can be tweaked through a firmware update by Dyson. Fortunately you can manually set or schedule lower speeds and the device still provides a decent volume of air flow, humidity, and cooling. Overall, the Dyson PH03 is a unique purifier and humidifier that improves the air quality in your home while also hygienically humidifying or cooling the air. Like all Dyson products, it has thoughtful design and engineering which sets it apart from other similar devices. While the price is high, the unique features of the humidifier provide peace of mind knowing it is far less likely to develop bacteria and distribute it throughout your home.

Perfect for a large enclosed room
This device does everything it says it does and is nearly perfect if it weren’t for 2 little complaints I have for it, but it would only be a half star lost if I could select that. This thing is much bigger than I first thought, but with the power, purification and humidification, I can see why. This is my first bladeless fan and the amount of air coming out of this thing at max speed is like a wind tunnel. In hardly any time you start to notice a difference in the room from smells to the temperature. Set up took a lot of pulling tabs and removing cardboard protective bits and then snapping the parts back in place, but pretty simple and quick. The water reservoir holds nearly a gallon and half of water, has a handle and even has wheels so you can sit it down and push it into the main body. Really helps with reducing the fear of splashing water everywhere. Controls are fairly simple and you get even more data from the app. I always have a fan running in my bedroom and love to sleep in a cool room, but don’t like the rest of the house to be cold. I also enjoy having a clean, fresh smelling room and not waking up to a bit of pollen to get my day off to a rough start. Plus, the added humidity really has helped sleeping during the cool dry season. The biggest problem I have with this machine is that even with everything set manually, it still automatically shuts down, not completely off, when the water level is too low in the humidifier. Talking about being in a dead sleep and the room goes quiet, you think the power went out yet everything else still appears to be running. You check on the fan, thinking something is wrong, and all it is doing is the lowest setting because it is out of water and is awaiting acknowledgment of the notification. Now, it does say up to 36 hours of humidifying, however, this is very specific for conditions and meant to be an enclosed room. This particular day it had only been about 24 hours since I filled it and my bedroom door was left open while I was asleep. So, it went beyond those conditions, which just means I need to top it off before I go to bed for now on. The other thing I find a bit annoying is the placement of the display and buttons. Though I don’t have to worry about it around my house, they are at a perfect position for toddler fingers to wonder what that shiny round thing does. Yet, it is so low that I have to bend down to even see what the display is showing. Which is a full color screen that gives all kinds of information, like steps to replace filters and the deep clean. However, it would be so much better if it was on top of the fan, out of reach of small kids and in reach of people that have a hard time bending over and reading fine print. I haven’t had the device long enough to do a deep clean cycle, but it comes with 3 packs of citric acid and says it will ask to be cleaned about once a month based on hard/soft water settings. The steps look pretty simple and take an hour plus prep time. Overall though, it has certainly made a difference in the conditions in my main bedroom. For a larger open area, I’m sure it would still make a difference, but would suck up some water, especially during the winter season. Having the charts from the app is also a great way just to see how the conditions change throughout the day.
