Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second "hot + cool" fan from Dyson, and this new HF1 model is even better than the original. I've always been a fan of Dyson's bladeless fans due to their minimalist designs and powerful performance, and the HF1 improves on this by adding in smart home integration and a vivid screen at the bottom of the unit. Best of all, it is much more stylish than almost any space heater or compact fan on the market -- and you get both of these things in one, sleek device. === PROS === - Setup is incredibly simple since all you have to do is twist on the round base to the bottom of the fan. To add the fan to the Dyson app, just scan the serial number on the bottom. - The magnetic remote control snaps neatly to the top of the fan, so you don't have to worry about losing it. - It seems that the fan defaults to heat mode when you turn it on for the first time - so get ready to feel blast of warm air! I was surprised at just how quickly it heats up -- I felt hot air withing just a few seconds of powering it on. - You can oscillate the fan (left and right) with options of 15, 40, or 70 degrees. You can also manually tilt the fan at the base to point slightly upwards or downwards. - There are 10 fan speeds, and the fan surprisingly does not get very loud at the highest speeds. Dyson claims that this model is 25% quieter than the previous hot + cool model, and I believe it. If you don't want to use the remote, you can easily adjust the fan speed using the new dial at the base of the fan. - For light sleepers, there's a "sleep mode" that can be activated on the remote or in the app. This mode reduces the air speed and dims the screen. - For both heating and cooling, this is a very powerful fan. The heat setting reaches as high as 90 degrees, and it blows a consistent stream of hot air. The fan increased the temperature in my bedroom from 66 degrees to 71 degrees in just a few minutes. In regular fan/cool mode, the fan does an excellent job circulating air at speeds of 7 or higher. === CONS === - In heating mode, the HF1 seems to get very hot after running for more than a few minutes. Even the power cord gets warm. There are no exposed heating elements, but the plastic around the "loop" of the fan can be very hot to the touch at higher temperatures. If you have kids, be sure to use the child lock feature so they don't dial up the heat too high. - Speaking of the power cord, it is very thick and stiff, making it difficult to conceal. I suppose this kind of cord is necessary for a space-heating device like this that consumes a lot of power, but it's something to be aware of. - Don't expect this to heat or cool a large area -- its small size is best suited for smaller spaces like bedrooms or offices. If you run it in heat mode in a large room, it will run almost non-stop and will likely result in a very high energy bill. - At fan speeds below 6 or 7, I sometimes struggle to feel the fan moving much air. I usually have to keep the fan set to at least 8 or higher to really feel air movement. === OVERALL === As with most things Dyson, the HF1 is priced as a premium product. The biggest selling point is that it doubles as a fan and a space heater in such a small package. If you're like me and just want one device that to keep in a bedroom year round, then the Dyson HF1 is likely worth the asking price. But if you live in a warmer climate or already have a standalone space heater, then maybe the value proposition is different. Regardless, the HF1 is a powerful little fan that is stylish, efficient, and quiet. You won't be disappointed.

The Dyson HF1 Heater Fan is a small and easy to use heating and cooling fan. Setup is simple and straightforward and consists of the following quick steps: - Screw base onto the fan bottom by until it clicks. - Pull remote battery contact strip to activate - Download and install the MyDyson app using QR code provided on the box flap. I already had an existing Dyson account, so I was able to log into the app and get started immediately. The terms of use must be agreed to before the app can be used. The terms include the Dyson privacy notice, which is not included in the app, but a URL to the notice is provided. After the app becomes accessible, the fan then needs to be paired with the app via Bluetooth and connected to Wi-Fi. Once that is done, initial setup is completed. After I completed the setup, the fan began running and the app applied a firmware update. Updates are applied automatically unless the option to do so is disabled. The fan can be operated via the app, the included remote, or the controls directly on the device. All of the options allow me to power the fan on and off, activate and adjust heating or cooling, adjust fan speed, adjust oscillation, toggle sleep mode, and set the timer. Controls are easy and intuitive to use regardless of which option I select. Noise levels during use were measured at 60dB for max fan speed of 10, 50dB at mid fan speed of 5, and 40dB on sleep mode. The fan can provide heating or cooling. The heat function is great for quickly heating smaller rooms, and does a decent job on moderate sized rooms as well. It struggles a bit more with larger areas, but it can effectively heat a large space if sufficient time is allowed. Even if it doesn’t heat the entire room immediately, it is useful as a personal heater and heats my immediate area comfortably until the rest of the room catches up. The fan doesn’t have any internal cooling or refrigerant, so it relies on circulating room air. The concentrated breeze it blows feels surprisingly cool, even in warmer rooms. The fan can also oscillate in adjustable angles of 15, 40, or 70 degrees and can tilt forward or back to adjust the vertical direction of airflow. Oscillation can be controlled remotely, but tilt is only adjustable manually. Additional features include an adjustable timer, sleep mode for quieter operation, child lock, voice control (utilizing Siri, Alexa or Google Home), tip-over emergency shut off, and environmental air quality monitoring. The fan has no exposed blades or heating elements and the chassis remains cool even when heating. This allows me to use the fan worry-free around small children and pets. The fan is lightweight and easy to move to wherever it is needed. Overall, the HF1 fan is a handy and efficient space heater and cooling fan that not only provides heat or cooling as needed, but is stylishly designed and effortlessly fits into any décor. It replaced two stand-alone devices in my bedroom: a tower fan and portable heater. It’s mostly quiet during operation, and even at full blast never sounds disruptively loud.

It's a fan and it does what a fan does, moves air around the room. What makes this more unique is the built-in heater to help warm the air. You can easily adjust the temperature with the included remote. You cannot however turn on the heater from the app, but you can turn on the fan. This is a security setting so it's untestable that you cannot activate the heater element from the app. I already have the Dyson app on my phone, so setup was a complete breeze. I opened the app, turned on the fan, and the app found the fan within seconds and added it to my app. From the app you can control fan speed, osculation, power, timer, etc. The app is also nice as it will tell you indoor air temp and outside air quality. I initially setup the fan in my larger living room to test it out. While the fan part itself was powerful enough to move air around, the heat was not strong enough. I then moved fan closer to where I was sitting, and I could feel the warm air. This fan is not powerful enough to warm a large room but did warm my bedroom room up since it is a smaller space. This fan would be perfect for an office, bedroom, or smaller space. The fan itself is pretty quiet on lower speeds, but on the highest settings I did notice some wind noise. I liked the fact you can angle the fan to push air upwards or downwards, but it has to be done manually. the osculation part has a few adjustments on far it osculates; I just left it on the highest setting. I like the included remote as it allows you to adjust pretty much all the functions of the fan. What I didn't like is that the remote has no way of sticking to the device. My Dyson air purifier has a similar remote, but I can stick it to the air purifier to make sure it doesn't get lost. The display on the front is very easy to read from across the room. When the heater is activated, the display will illuminate the temp setting in red. If the display is not showing a red number, it means it's just operating in fan mode. Super easy to just glance at to make sure heat is on or off, without having to use the app or pick up the remote. Overall, I do like the fan and that is a pretty compact size. I like that it has built in heat but wish it was a little stronger to actually heat a room instead of just warm up the room. If I worked from home, I would keep this in my office to help keep me warm on those cold winter days. Since I work in an office building, they do not allow us to have space heaters, so I cannot take this one to work.

I just set up the Dyson Hot+Cool HF1 Rapid React Heater Fan. This thing is pretty cool - literally! Once I plugged it in and connected it to wifi with the MyDyson app it immediately needed to update. The update was pretty quick, just a couple of minutes and it was ready to go. I adjusted the heat settings through the remote and could feel the warmth instantly. Then I adjusted it down to 60 degrees and had just the fan going. It is so quiet, and the breeze coming out of it is refreshingly cool. It has oscillation, which doesn't feel as smooth as the air coming out of it but it works and is a nice feature. I really like that it connects to the MyDyson app for easy controls plus you get the small white remote that can also operate it. The cord that comes with it is really stiff and bulky, I'm guessing that has to do with grounding and it being a heater. There's a bottom plate that easily attaches, and clicks into place to sturdy the unit so it won't fall over. It has a timer that you can set to auto shut off and you can adjust the breeze output from 1 through 10. Even at the max speed of 10 it is quiet. This is a great heater/fan combo that is incredibly quiet and I know I will get good use out of it. While the price point is high in my opinion you are paying for the quality that Dyson is known for and it shows.

I have several Dyson vacuums and am impressed with their technology and design. The Hot+Cool HF1 is equally impressive with its bladeless design and air multiplier. At just under three feet tall, the HF1’s design is definitely a head turner. Operationally, you can control the HF1 from the three buttons and LCD display on the front of the device, the 10-button remote control which attaches to the top of the device magnetically, the MyDyson app for your phone and finally, through your smart home systems, either Siri, Alexa or Google Home. Whether you look at this as a heater with a fan or a fan that heats, the HF1 excels at both. Unlike most of the inexpensive milk house heaters and even with more expensive Vornado heaters, these only have a single speed “fan” function that just blows at the same slow speed regardless if you're heating or cooling. The HF1 actually circulates air you can feel - both hot and cool. You get 10 fan speeds for cooling and for heat you simply choose your temperature between 54 and 87 degrees along with your fan speed and the HF1 does the rest. The HF1 oscillates at the press of a button. You have three oscillation choices, 15, 40 and 70 degrees of motion. I like that when you power it down it moves to its home (center most) position - so it even looks proper when it's turned off. You also can tilt the head forward or back to direct the air flow more up or down. Speaking of air flow, while I wouldn't consider the output aggressive, you can feel the breeze from across the room. It is this circulation that allows the HF1 to heat up your spaces faster and more efficiently than other heaters. While you can control the HF1 from the buttons and knob on the front of the unit, the remote control makes life much easier with separate buttons for each function. The MyDyson app adds additional functions like setting a schedule to automatically turn the unit on, continually monitoring the room temperature and outside air quality, and connectivity to smart home services. Unfortunately, due to UL listing, the app doesn't allow any heat settings or scheduling here in the USA which really limits the functionality of the app and more so scheduling if you wanted it to warm up a room before you wake up. I thought connecting it to Alexa would bypass this as the temp selection isn't grayed out. While Alexa was able to turn the HF1 on and set it to heat, so far I have been unable to get Alexa to change the temperature. She will turn on the heat but it consistently goes back to the last temperature you had set, not the desired temperature you selected in the app. The HF1 is very quiet in its lower speeds but as you get above 5 it starts to sound more like a blower due to the fanless design and air multiplier. There is a sleep mode that sets the speed to 4 and turns off the display. If your room is very quiet, you can hear the oscillation motor humming as the device spins. Not annoying but it is audible. It is said imitation is the best form of flattery - that being the case, Dyson should be extremely flattered as most if not all of their products are often imitated but never duplicated. The HF1 is well built and I would expect it to last for many years to come. Four stars.

I purchased my first one ~4 years ago, still works well, so got one more for another room. Not just a fan, but helps cool down or heat up a large room, WiFi enabled and also has a remote. Convenient and efficient. As long as you clean the filter, this baby should last!

I love my Dyson fan, it is perfect for my room. My daughter liked it so much that she ordered one for her room too.

It's a very good fan bought an extra for a different room in the house.

This new Dyson is exactly what I was looking for. I own a large, 100-year-old home with mostly original windows and nothing more than blown in insulation. I live in the Midwest. We have all four seasons with temps ranging from -20 to 110. Heating and cooling this place is expensive. So, I have been looking for something that I can put in the main living space to keep it comfortable without having to heat and cool the entire house to the same temperature. This heat/cool fan does the trick. It’s what you’d expect from a Dyson. It is quiet and stylish. It’s big enough to get the job done but not so big that imposes on the space. Since it is shorter than some of their larger models, it pivots back a bit to direct airflow upward when needed. Feature wise, it has everything I need. It has heating and cooling modes, so it’s prefect year-round. It also allows you to set oscillating modes of 15, 40, and 70 degrees, so you can pretty much direct the air wherever you like. It has a quiet mode for sleeping, and you can also turn it up to lvl 10 to get a nice white noise sound out of it. You can easily feel the airflow from across the room…plenty of power for its size. Its heat ranges all the way up to 90 degrees, so you won’t have any trouble heating a room in your house. The remote is intuitive and easy to use. When you don’t have it with you, it sits on top of the fan via a magnet so you can always find it. The LCD screen on the fan is pretty small, so it’s hard to read from across the room, but it’s not a big deal. There really isn’t much room for a larger screen, and considering most fans don’t have them, it’s good enough. It does have an app that you can use to control the fan. Here in the USA, there is some regulation that doesn’t allow you to control the heat function from your mobile device. I find that super annoying, but it’s not Dyson’s fault. It will still be fine in the summer when I’m only using the fan feature, but I have to use the remote in the winter to control the heat. I really like this fan, and I think anyone looking to add some supplemental airflow and maybe a little heating will also love it. It looks great, it’s super quiet, and it moves a lot of air for its size. Definitely recommend.

MY SECOND DYSON FAN BUT DOESNT BLOW AS GOOD AS THE OLDER MODEL

I received this product to try, and it did not disappoint! I am a huge Dyson product fan, and this is just another wonderful product to add to my house! I also have the larger version of this... This review if on the HF1 Hot+Cool heater. This is small measuring about 23" and around 5 1/2 lbs. in weight that I have on a table in our master bedroom. The cord is very sturdy and long too. This is one small but mighty product! It is very quiet and when you have the fan on a lower setting you can't even hear it! When you increase the fan speed and have it oscillating it is wonderful and even relaxing (white noise). I know I will run in all year, along with the ceiling fan over the bed, and that way I don't have to turn on the ac/heater upstairs unless we have guests in the other bedrooms! It is stylish and doesn't look like a big clunky unit in the room. Setup was super simple as well. First, I added it to my Dyson app with follow along instructions, scanned the barcode, hooked up to our wi-fi and I was all set. I do enjoy being able to set timers on this unit so I can heat or cool off the bedroom before we actually go to sleep and wake up. I can use the remove that comes with the unit, or I can control it from my app - either way... super simple. The remote can be stored on the magnetic area on the top of the unit (so you don't lose it). While it is a little on the pricey side, you can't go wrong with this Dyson product!

I have my home office / hobby room in one of our basement bedrooms. The room only has one small hvac vent, and since I’m not down there all the time I don't fire up the in floor heat for the winter. I just turn on a small portable heater whenever I’m down there. It’s a pretty simple on/off/thermostat control, it works but not great. Decided to try the Dyson Hot+Cool HF1 Rapid React Heater Fan to see if it kept the room more comfortable. Upon unpacking I found the Dyson HF1 looking good, better than your typical square box cheap heaters. Be careful while unpacking, the remote control is tiny and would be easy to miss. The Dyson has a heavy duty power cord, it’s not grounded but it is polarized. The connector portion is long and stiff so you won't be able to plug it in somewhere behind furniture without adding a right angle low profile adapter of some sort. It’s definitely not a low profile plug. Controls, either the buttons on the unit or the remote are easy to figure out, turn it on of, set the fan speed, set the oscillation to 1 of 3 settings, and set the temperature. The remote also lets you set a timer, child lock and night mode which dims the display. I wasn’t able to perform any scientific test on the claimed “raise the temp by 1deg in 3 minutes” but after turning on the heat, setting the temp and fan speed, the room temp did go up fairly quickly. The fan does seem to blow a good amount of air quieter than the usual type of fans. I set the thermostat on 68, and fan speed to 5 (out of 10) and you can barely hear it running. The remote is infrared type, so you will need to point it at the main unit. The remote also felt ‘laggy’ at times for me, even though I was near and pointing right at the main unit, it wouldn’t change the setting I was trying to. Almost seems like you have to let it time out from one command, before you can change a different setting. The remote also magnetically attaches to the top of the unit, which is nice to keep from losing it, but you do need to set it on almost perfectly or it wont stay. If you try to just drop it on top, close to where it should be, it might not stay. You can also control the unit with the MyDyson app, however, you will have to create an account to use it. One major bummer is, you can not turn on the heat via the app. You get a notice that due to UL listing rules that is not possible. You can control everything else via app, just not heat. Personally in my use case that makes the app useless for me. I could find myself planning on heading to the office and turning the heat on ahead of time, but you can’t. I do that all the time with my thermostat in the garage. If I plan on working in the garage, I’ll pull up the app and turn up the heat. I don't see any case where I would want or need to turn the Dyson fan on when I'm not physically sitting right next to it. I did some testing with a watt meter connected to the Dyson HF1, and it draws around 1500watts max, which is pretty typical of any 120v ac heater. It seems to draw less current if you have the fan speed set lower, which would make sense so you don't burn out the heating elements from not moving enough air thru them, or heating up the unit beyond safe limits. For max heat output, it seems you will need to turn the fan up to max speed. I also tested the tip-over protection, and the unit does shut off if you tip it over. The overall airflow of the Dyson is ‘interesting’. I don't know how to describe it, other than: It seems to move a lot of air with a little noise. Unlike a standard ‘fan’ that airflow dissipates quickly the further you move away, the Dyson seems like it moves a column of air that is at the same speed 10’ away as it is right next to the unit. Overall the Dyson works well, heats up my room, doesn't have a ‘too hot’ hotspot right in front of it, and does its work fairly quietly. It is a steep price to pay though with the couple quirks it has.

Overall, this is a nice looking fan with some nice features, but lacks some clarity on how to use some of those features out of the box. Setup: out of the box it is quite easy to set up. Simple snap on the base with a simple twist and plug it in. If you want to use the app, this is when you’d set it up. It is quite easy to set up and it walks you through the pairing and WiFi setup process. The final touch is pulling the battery tab out of the remote (which neatly sits on top of the fan with a magnet) Use: the included instructions are a little lax. After searching the web for the user manual on the Dyson website, things became a little clearer. To turn on the fan. Use the control panel, remote, or app. Set the fan speed, target temp, oscillation, heater mode and sleep timer fairly easily from any of those control options. From the app, you have the additional option of setting a schedule to turn the fan/heater on at certain times of the day. Critique: taking one start away because of the lack of ease of figuring out some of the options, even after finding the manual online. For one, the heater mode on/off switch is confusing. I can’t figure out what the point of the set temperature is. It doesn’t seem to affect much at all if the heater mode is off, and when the heater mode is on it seems to always just heat independent of the temp setting. I would like for it to be able to be more like an auto mode and automatically adjust fan speed or heater mode depending on set vs. ambient temperature. The way it works now it just doesn’t seem to make much of a difference with set temp. Maybe I’m just missing something but the manual isn’t much help.

I’ve been using the Dyson Hot+Cool HF1 Rapid React Heater Fan -in white for a bit, and I honestly really like it. The size is perfect—it’s compact, sleek, lightweight, and looks great in any room without taking up much space. Setup was very very simple and required very little effort, which I always great. I personally use it more as a cooling fan, and in that mode it works good for me, it gives a smooth and comfortable airflow. The heating option does warm up my space/ area, but because it also blows air at the same time, it makes me feel cold, if that makes sense... I wish the heat setting made the room feel a bit cozier. One of my favorite things about it is the safety features, especially the automatic tip-over shutoff and child lock, which are so important with heating products any home or workplace. I think this cooler/heater combo is best for smaller spaces like bedrooms or a small office rather than large areas. The included remote and oscillation feature are also great bonuses. As always, Dyson quality feels premium and very well made. I love Dyson products !
