      Review Summary: Pricey, but worth it. (and that review is based on full price, so at 50% off it's double worth it!)

      yes but overpriced and more of a fashion statement as with all dyson products. all air purifers do is to push air through a filter - there's studies showing if you get a large fan and put a HEPA filter on it it achieves the same thing. there are cheaper ones but they don't look as nice as the dyson.
      dyson also doesn't publish a standardised CADR figure so you can't compare like for like which is very dodgy, they wack their own POlLAR rating and make up some excuse about CADR not being an accurate gauge

      • +7

        I agree, can't trust Dyson through all the marketing bs. They claim the filter only needs to be changed every 5 years based on.. cos we said so + the filters are very expensive when compared to a Coway or Winix.
        $249 for a replacement filter direct from Dyson - https://www.dyson.com.au/hepa-filter-972132-01

          Winix HEPA filter only lasts a year (plus or minus depending on environment). IF Dyson HEPA filter lasts 5 years then it works out much cheaper if we are talking genuine.

          • +1

            @Elyxar: That's the point I was trying to make. Dyson filters will most likely last a similar time frame as any other filter, approx 1 year. There isn't anything to show they've revolutionised air filtration.

        Interesting. Do you know if there's any difference if there's pets involved or little babies? What's a HEPA filter purpose? Any point in getting a humidifer with a purifier? Please teach young padawan melord

        • +1

          particulate in air doesn't discriminate, wherever it comes from, just look for one with the highest grade of commercially available HEPA (usually H13, H14 is the highest available). it refers to the size of the filter - HEPA 13 for example traps 99.95% of particles 0.3 microns and above (PM2.5/pollen/bacteria/viruses - now viruses are smaller than 0.3microns but they are mostly transmitted via aerosols which are larger than 0.3 microns)
          CADR refers to the rate at which the air is replaced in a room and is a surrogate marker for the power of the purifier or how big a room it can be appropriately used for

          you can look for the carbon filters to capture VOCs and smell but they are a bit gimicky to me and I usually ignore it.
          air purifier doesn't dry out the air it just pushes it through a filter so whether you humidify your room doesn't really have much to do with the filter

          • +1

            @May4th: Slight correction - CADR is the rate air is cleaned in a room of specific particulates. It's not just how fast the fan goes or the airflow. So the proper measurement is CADR for smoke or CADR for dust particles and the same purifier can have different values for each type of particle being cleaned/measured. Further, CADR is affected by the design of the purifier - eg if the air being cleaned has already been cleaned because the in and out vents are close together, this can affect how quickly the air in the room is being scrubbed. Placing a fan against a HEPA filter isn't the most optimal approach. Additionally, some of the Corsi Rosenthal air purifier boxes have CADR almost 4 times the most powerful retail home purifier and they use Merv 13 filters - just under HEPA H10 classification.

        • Adding to bargainshooters comment.
          CADR value is the main value to be comparing between units. HEPA is a type/level of filtration but having a better filter doesn't always correspond to higher CADR.
          Have a search for appropriate CADR to room size. Having babies shouldn't affect anything, but pets may require you to vacuum the filters more frequently.

          • @rainbowunicorn: yes the two main things you need to look at when buying an purifier is the grade of HEPA and the CADR. everything else is gimmick/marketing to justify their cost

            • @May4th: No. The grade of hepa is not that important. You don't even need Hepa to achieve a high filtration. Merv filters are not hepa rated.

              • @rainbowunicorn: it depends on what you are filtering, yes higher CADR will compensate for a lower grade HEPA (think basically pushing air twice through a filter that filters out 85% of particulates vs pushing air once through one that filters out 99%) but you would need to make sure it's fine enough to filter out the sub 1 micron particles

                • @May4th: Good to see you did some reading after the initial comment and came back to edit. I'm across how filtration works, hence my comments. Even for sub 1 micron merv can be sufficient if the air volume is high enough, that is why CADR is the most important value when looking at a filtration system.

                  • +1

                    @rainbowunicorn: agreed, only other consideration is most purifiers are not operated at maximum CADR and the quoted CADR is always on max settings, and noise is a factor for home use comfort wise

                      @May4th: Thanks for the insights both! Very helpful.

    coway or winix ones better and cheaper, no?

    • +2

      From everything I read before buying it wasn't the best value, as similar filters were cheaper, but whichever site/review you check is always in the top 3, often 1st, and it has excellent filtration, an app, and features none of the others do. It's it overpriced? Probably. But at 50% off it's actually OK. I also think it looks sexy, so that's a subjective preference.

      • understand what you mean. i might have bought one if i didnt have two coways already.

    • +1

      Dyson works out at $2.40 - $2.88 per week for genuine filters from Dyson (free shipping). That's $125 - $150 a year based on 5 year life for HEPA and 2 year for Carbon or K-Carbon.
      Winix works out at $4.23 per week for genuine filters for Pro 5 stage from AusClimate or $1.35 per week for non genuine from Amazon ($70) based on 1 year replacement.

      I have the Pro 5 stage Winix and if I were buying over I would probably go for the Dyson base model and budget for the filters. Maybe you can get the filters cheaper? Website says they will price match.

    Been hoping this would come up on special again, I missed it last time!

      Can you show proof?

      • Off course not, it's the same price. $799

  • Dyson has an expensive price tag but makes it economical in the long term with servicing

    • +2

      how so? the replacement filters are more expensive than most competitors. an purifier is mechanically very simple, it rarely breaks down and doesn't require servicing

      • Are you sure? It changes every 2 years or 5 years. Not every 6 months or 12 months.

        • +1

          a filter's a filter, no matter what brand you wack on it.

          Dyson HEPA filters generally last longer than standard HEPA filters due to their design features, including tightly pleated filter media which increases surface area for capturing particles, high-quality materials, and a well-sealed filtration system throughout the entire machine, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimizing dust bypass, allowing for longer usage before needing replacement.
          Key points about Dyson HEPA filters:
          Pleated design:
          The filter is pleated which significantly increases the surface area where particles can be trapped, allowing for more dust to be collected before the filter becomes clogged.
          High-quality materials:
          Dyson uses high-grade HEPA filter media that is designed to effectively capture even very small particles.
          Whole-machine HEPA filtration:
          Dyson often applies HEPA filtration standards to not just the final filter, but also to other components within the vacuum or air purifier, ensuring consistent filtration throughout the machine.
          Regular maintenance:
          While Dyson HEPA filters can last longer, proper maintenance like washing washable filters (where applicable) can further extend their lifespan.

          so your call on whether you believe it. to me it reads like marketing bs

          • @May4th: I went to repair a bunch of dyson products from 5-7 years ago, whole unit replacements cost less than 1/3rd of new. parts are reasonably priced compared to tech companies.
            also if you compare air purifiers, this machine is the size of a small airconditioner. Other brands range around $1200+ for these size air purifiers. You can just buy a replica filter online if you dont want to buy dyson. The hepa filter on my v8 lasted over 5 years and just needed a quick rinse.

            • @sunnyc: the physical size isn't relevant so much as the CADR as mentioned above, if anything a larger size is a hindrance if CADR similar. a comparable model would probably the Philips 3000i which is rated for up to 135m2 which is 495 regular price less on sale. I don't have anything against Dysons, have the vacuum and drier myself, just need to be aware you are paying a premium for it

    The family love to fart next to it and the sensor do move from good air quality to bad with a organic material level warning. So I guess it is good and working.

      "Friend of mine" always does that and he told me the filter dies quickly with that sort of behaviour. You're talking a filter per 10 farts, especially with those 'who opened the sewerage' type rips.

      Been around a hazard reduction fire burn or bushfire? Or have lots of diesel utes in your neighbourhood? Thunderstorm asthma. Cooking with gas inside, wood fire heaters in your neighbourhood, downstair neighbours burning incense? Australian industry have air quality standards imposed on them, but there are no controls on how much smoke a "hazard reduction" burn can produce, nor how much smoke your wood fired heater generates. Or how much smoke you generate when you burn garden waste/leaves (in many places).

    On the posts about CADR, I saw this article with a short video from Dyson on why they don’t think its the best measure.

  • It is worth it. The wind is very comfortable. The filters change every 2/5 years.

  • Why would anyone get this over a hot/cold formaldehyde purifier which has the same purifying results but you also get a heater and a fan?

    • Personal experience having bought a bunch of Dyson models for a workspace — the dedicated purifiers do seem to work better, and require lower frequency of filter change (which makes them slightly cheaper to run). But if I was looking for an air purifier for myself, I'd get one of the older Blueair models. Still absolutely king when it comes to odours and smoke.

      • +1

        100% I feel like if you’re wanting a dedicated purifier you shouldn’t be looking at Dyson. Can’t fault their 3 in 1 heater, fan and purifier though. Love mine

        • And I get that the Dysons definitely look pretty. That's why I got them for our offices.

    • I have the cool version, and the fan part is absolute junk, its does a very poor job compared to a normal pedestal fan, and the noise it creates is alot less pleasant to sleep with. The air purifier does an ok job.

      • I use it more for the heat, but I love having the fan on at night, puts me to sleep. I find the fan okay, not the best. But does the job. As a 3 in 1 it’s great, but as a fan alone I wouldn’t be impressed

        • To feel anything you need to have it on Max and then it has an annoying high pitch sound, no sleeping with that.

          • @thesainter: Maybe yours is defective? Mine is not a whine, just a standard fan hum. I actually like it to put me to sleep, nice white noise.

  • How quiet are these. I'm after the quietest model on the market as I'm super sensitive to machine running noise

    • +1

      I can't confirm on quietness of this exact model, but as I've posted above, I've used a bunch of air purifiers, and the Blueairs are still the best. My older models (if you can find one online) are damn near silent on the lowest setting, and work exceptionally well.

      • This is probably the closest current model — I really recommend them, the difference is fairly stark with these (I know the testing online makes it sound like all air purifiers are "99.99% effective" but real-world use just doesn't work that way). Looks like this model is even quieter than my old one, and I can't hear mine on its usual setting as hard as I try. https://www.blueair.com/au/classic-family-page.html

    • Very quiet. I have the 750 one.

      But it moves air so it will always be some machine noise. But I say it is way quieter than a air con or when fridge compressor comes on

  • Is this better than a Philips 2000i Series Air Purifier ?

    The Dyson Big & Quiet model didn't fare too well in the Choice Magazine test.

    Just to add that Amazon has one of the models on sale and has obviously price matched Dyson. Hope this helps with someone who prefers to order from Amazon.

    • Good find. Just note that with shopback/cash rewards you can get the better Dyson direct 799 version for pretty much same 749 price (and this one has CO2 monitoring & apparently a better odour filter)

  • Just checked and the BP04 - $799 unit is now out of stock

    • Just as I'd talked myself into buying one too. Wonder what the chances are of another sale like this in the future.
