Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a super high quality purchase. In a field with multiple options, I decided to go with Dyson due to being impressed with their line of vacuum cleaners, of which I have had two over the years. I decided on the shorter, heater model (versus the taller, fan-only model) because I didn't want my hyperactive dog, or any future children, to easily knock it over and damage it. In the end, I think this was a good decision for me, because the heater setting is actually more handy than I imagined. I like using this unit as a small temperature stabilizer for my apartment, as well. The packaging was super easy to open and tear down, but protected this purifier very well. The instructions are very easy to follow, and the remote/phone app are straightforward and intuitive. The phone app works off the purifier's ability to connect to your home wifi network, which allows you to control the operations anywhere in the world, as long as your phone can connect to a network. (Some models do not include wifi capability, so if this is important, make sure you're buying the correct one.) There are two main settings - cool (fan) or hot (heater). The cool setting allows you to set an intensity (zero to ten, I think), and the hot setting allows you to set a temperature. If the ambient temperature reaches the set level, the unit throttles down to a low setting. The cool/fan setting isn't really "air conditioning," but the airflow does make the air somewhat cooler. There are some other options/settings including airflow direction (wide vs. narrow), oscillating, night mode (the display dims substantially), and "auto mode," which I haven't explored yet. The app has good features. You can also schedule the unit to operate during certain days, or times of the day. The app also logs data such as air quality, temperature, and humidity over days and weeks so you can compare this information to things like how bad your allergies are, if you had windows open, etc. And lastly, the app also has a total runtime for your filter so you know exactly when to replace it. In the end, the most important thing - air quality - has also improved. I am allergic to dogs, but I love my dog too much to put her up for adoption. My allergy had been increasing, triggering allergic asthma maybe 2 times per week during the night, waking me up in the process. The app shows me that on the first two days running this machine, my air quality was in the high red zone. Now, my air quality is consistently green / near the bottom of the range. My allergic asthma has all but disappeared, and I actually haven't been taking any allergy pills after a few days of running this unit.
