Dyson Pure Hot + Cool Link Review

Tired of lugging the fan from storage every summer & bringing out a rattling, stinky smelling heater in winter? Dyson's Pure Hot+Cool Link is the all-in-one device that can solve all your home heating & cooling issues, and it purifies the air too.

Today we’re checking out whether a bladeless fan - and a multipurpose one like this one is really worth the price.
The Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link is a multi purpose heating and cooling device. It's a fan, heater, and air purifier all built into one tall narrow cylinder-shaped device. The model I received is a wickedly cool cobalt blue and silver color and looks super modern and definitely stands out in my home.
The big question on many minds is, how does a bladeless fan work, and can it move air as effectively as a bladed fan?
Dyson uses what it calls its Air Multiplier technology where air is drawn in evenly through the base.
A doohickey called the Hemholtz cavity captures and dissipates motor noise, while an "eccentrically aligned loop" allows air to enter with less turbulence, further reducing noise. Then a diffuser smooths the airflow and channels it into the two sides of the fan loop. Pressure in the loop builds and it's then forced out of the narrow opening at high velocity. More air is drawn into the loop as the air exits, multiplying the airflow.
What's so great about a bladeless fan or heater? Dyson points out they're safer since there are no spinning blades or moving parts, and without blades or a grille either Dyson fans and fan heaters are quick and easy to clean.
The fan is controlled via an app or the tiny remote control that helpfully sticks to the top of the unit with magnets.
The app gives you a bit better functionality, like access to air purification data. of course if you misplace the remote you’ve likely always got your phone. You can control it from away or out of the room too, while the remote needs to be pointed at the base to work.
A handy feature of this device is the ability to set up night mode. This setting allows the display to be dimmed and the fan to run more quietly making it ideal for use while sleeping. In essence it sets the fan at air flow level four; among it's lowest settings.
The sleep timer function is also handy since you can have the device turn off after a certain amount of time. This is controllable via the app or the remote control.
An interesting option on this device is the ability to have either defused or focussed air which changes how the air is pushed into the room. In defused mode the air is pushed out into the room in a wide angle and can more easily spread across the room. In focussed mode, air is blown in a more direct and targeted straight line, meaning you'll feel it more directly, and more like a regular fan.
You can also adjust this function further by choosing whether or not the machine will oscillate while in operation. If you like that feeling of air blowing on you directly from the fan, you can get it, but if you just want a more general room cooling effect that's less blustery and direct, you can have that too.
I found the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link to be super easy to use. Despite all of the technology packed inside, it's not complicated and it still gives you manual control options in case you need them.
I love the versatility of having both a heater and a fan plus air monitoring and purification all in one unit as I don't have a ton of storage space.
I found the app very easy to use and intuitive, and it gives you options and visualizations that you can't get just by using the remote control.
I also appreciate the air purification feature. While I have tested the air quality in my home through various devices and at various times of year, and I don't seem to have any recurring problems, it's still good to know that it's cleaning what impurities there may be in the air. I'd love to hear some feedback from people that do experience for indoor air quality and how it affects them.
I also love the fact that you can completely change and customize the airflow on the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link; whether it's defused or direct air, or choosing the speed I have many options for using the device.
Plus I really appreciate the fact that I don't need to move it into storage in the winter and then out again in the summer or vice versa. That means the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link has a place in my home 365 days a year. Add to that it comes in some pretty cool colours and looks super futuristic and I’m proud to have it on display in the house.
The Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link will set you back $699CAD and it's available at places like Best Buy.

We got this for the toddler room kzbin.infoUgkxdzUap46p9ViXhKZf5mK_bXOb89EHxTqq because of the bladeless feature. Actually has a lot more power than I thought it would. Can still feel the air moving well 6 feet away, which is farther than I would expect from a desk fan. My daughter dropped twice and still works. I haven't checked out how long it lasts on a charge yet, but the air output was still good for the few minutes it was unplugged. My daughter also likes the color lights feature, but I don't really care for it and can be annoying to go through all the options before it turns off. Overall, happy with the purchase, especially for the price

[@manifestdigitalagency]

I would've liked to know more about the functionality of the device, this is why I searched for a review on the first place. For example: size of the room that it can cool/heat, can you use the heating and air purifying simultaneously (or shut it off if not desired), what range it covers, how much electricity it spends...

[@AC-wl7ve]

i picked up a refurbished unit and its a pretty amazing machine. heats my whole apartment . dont have to use my baseboard heaters or heat dish anymore. also does a nice job purifying the air. i thought the sticker price was crazy when i first saw it but i dont think i could live without this thing now.

[@Neekesmith]

How much did you get it for?

[@MrEncore91]

You're in the minority of people who actually think this is better than a conventional desk fan.

[@MrEncore91]

@@Neekesmith Dyson sell refurbs of this product on their eBay account. I know the price is significantly less than the 'new' condition. However, from what I've read i would avoid this product.

[@alexbia5689]

They are very expensive but honestly its a great product very quiet i usually do speed 2 and in the summer 3 its like white noise that helps me sleep and keeps me cool all night love the fact that its also an air purifier no its not a air conditioner its a fan with clean purified air coming at you i also love the look of it the heater also works great i usually turn the heater in the winter before a shower so when i walk into the room the room is super cozy at a perfect temperature love the app also works with Siri love that i got mine on sale but honestly they are worth the pride just look for a good sale, i also have the pure cool me small bed side table Dyson i use every single night won’t sleep without it put it on timer for 8 hours so when i get up for work i don’t have to worry about it i know it will turn off before i leave the house i recommend the product 3 in one i think it’s awesome.❤😊👏⚡️

[@quentinturner09]

Can you teach everyone else on KZbin how to make reviews? Because this was absolutely perfect. You should be on the actual news!

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

I WAS on the actual news at one time ! ;) Thanks so much for your kind words.

[@Ducati_Dude]

Recently purchased a Dyson HP04 (04/24/2020) Pure Hot/Cold.... works Awesome with one exception... the oscillation mode in the App keeps dropping out. For the first few weeks, I would power down the machine and reboot... Go back to the App... all is well. Until today... three weeks in and could not get the machine to oscillate. Reboot the machine... nope. Remove/Add machine... nope. Uninstall/Reinstall App... nope. Hmmm... the options are getting slim. Tried triggering the oscillation with the remote... it worked. 😀👍 Went back to the App to find that the oscillation function is now back online... hmmm, okaaaay.... Now I know that the oscillation issue is a result of a buggy App...

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Interesting...

[@justinlay7461]

Like your review. Just wish you can elaborate a bit on the main features: cool/hot/ air purifier feature and how well it perform to give a rating, that would be awesome and I would subscribe to your other reviews.

I just want ot know how strong is the heater function? will it make a difference in my room if it snows outside?

[@999llwj4]

[@rodolfoalva422]

Just bought one but I feel like it doesn’t cool at all. I have a fan from Costco that I feel does more

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Good feedback Rodolfo. Thanks for posting.

[@dunnoyolo2238]

I kinda like this one. But the Dyson Pure Humidify + Cool Cryptomic is very cool will this also work well on a shelf/table or is the floor only way to use it ?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

You could put this up on a table. It’s very tall but would be fine.

[@StacyEdenton]

I wonder if the LED's on the front can be turned off completely. I'd like to use it in a bedroom, but not if it's going to light up the room.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

They can't that I can see Stacy. But honestly it's so dim I don't think you'd notice. A piece of black electrical tape could also make quick work of the problem if it was a bother.

[@jimmylai9450]

That qwerkywriter on your wall, I also have one for writing haha I would like to know is this Dyson thing warm enough while it's really cold if I only use it in my room? Thanks

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

I think it is! I have one and our house is not well insulated. It's keeping us very warm and toasty!

[@brownsir3438]

do this hot+cool fan got any model number ?

[@chunqiu7898]

Does it last longer than two years under warranty ? Dyson vacuum cleaners used to start leaking air several months after the end of this period.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

That's interesting. I've owned a Dyson vacuum for 15 years and never had a single issue with it. I can say that one year after getting this fan, I've also experienced zero problems. But ask me again next year.

[@jimini2419]

The problem with the Dyson Hot & Cool is that it has a fundamental flaw which Dyson does not seem to know how to fix. I bought one of these and after about 4 months use it developed a high pitched whining noise (rather irritating). Since it was under a 2 year warranty, I had it returned to Dyson and after some hassle, Dyson sent me a replacement, which I’ve been using now for about 3 months and it too has developed the same high pitched whining noise problem. Clearly this product is unreliable and it has been more trouble than it’s worth. Since there is still time left on the 2 year warranty, I shall return it to Dyson, to decide what they intend to do about it. I have lost all faith in this company and regret having bought it. Disappointing. I hope that Dyson just gives me a refund, rather than send me yet another one which will start to whine after about 3 months..... and then what ? Send it back to them again ?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Goodness. That sucks. I haven't heard of this problem before; maybe it's something in the newer models...

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Definitely. That's what I used it for.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

It has no air conditioning properties, but the cooling is great. it's a strong fan.

[@KCgo2girl101]

[@RoshP]

Is it possible to only use the air purification feature without using cooling or heating?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Yes. If you set it to a neutral temperature or set the fan/motor on low it works that way too.

[@TheBooban]

I want one you can put water or an ice pack in and get real cool air. Blowing warm air around isn't as nice.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Is that called a Swamp Cooler?

[@TheBooban]

Not really. A swamp cooler uses water soaked in a filter which evaporates and blown out of the fan. Like Arctic Air which I just ordered. I guess the water _could_ be cold too. The type I was talking about type just circulates water through a pipe around the fans making the air cold. Relies on ice packs. Unlike a swamp cooler, this one won't make your room misty as no water is blown out. If this Dyson fan had a place for water and icepack, I'd buy it. They have humidifiers, blowing out water, but no idea if they're cold. Most importantly is the sound! If my Arctic Air doesn't work, I'll just put a frozen plastic bottle of water in front of my fan.

[@TheBooban]

Is your Dyson fan still working btw? No maintenance issues? Clunky sounds yet?

[@emostorm7]

Item you received, so you didn't buy it. Ahhh know makes since

[@crichtoncampbell4702]

its a fan a heater and an air purifier built into on tall blah blah blah, what happened to the cooler bit does it actually chill air or does it just give the feeling that it is actually colling, therefore get yourself a cheaper fan at say £20 and it will COOL JUST AS WELL

[@ehh2681]

crichton campbell it doesn’t cool the air as that would require some type of coolant or Freon lol

[@chrisjoya8747]

Can it make a room really cold?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

It provides cooling like a fan, not at all like an air conditioner. So, cold? No. Cool, breezy, yes.

[@JaxDianne]

Does it clean the air? That's what I want to know.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

It sure does. Is there anything you want to know about the purification in particular?

[@JaxDianne]

Just if it is effective. How do you test that or compare to other purifiers?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Ahh, good question. I've not tried other air purifiers yet, and it's still new so I've not changed or inspected the filter. I'm no scientist, but if anyone has suggestions for how to test how well it's working , I'll try it.

[@f-22r]

Never knew it was that massive.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Oh yeah. Tall. But narrow.

[@robertricciuti5793]

it should be called fan/heat not very cool...

[@MetalSandman999]

$699 Canadian??? I know that translates to somewhat less in US dollars, but for $500 USD (probably less than $700 CAD) you can buy a large portable air conditioner that actually cools a room for real. Many have heating functions too. True, it's louder and uses more electricity, but it is a whole different world than a room with a small, weak fan that costs 10x what you normally pay for a similar device.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

True, true!

[@TheEtbetween]

You miss the point it provides there functions ,air purifier , Fan, heating.

[@briankane6547]

Four forks ACHE! Why do all you presenters want HEAT on while you're snug under the Duvet? 1. You didn't tell us whether the "Air purifier" need cleaning. 2. Personally - I'd prefer it to switch on a.m. & war the room to get up to.

[@SuperPussyFinger]

I love Dyson products. They are my favorite purveyor of overpriced plastic crap.

[@gride5153]

For the excessively high price, you would think it would work with Apple Homekit and the other home automation systems - BUT NO.

[@PeterPan-qb3tb]

I just got one and it’s pure shite do not get it

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Tell us more, Peter. What don't you like?

[@PeterPan-qb3tb]

use it in my bedroom and even after closing the door and turning the fan setting up to #10 it doesn't cool the room at all and its really noisy The max setting i could handle is 3-4 anything higher and it sounds like your next to a aeroplane. To actually notice the cool air I have to stand in front of it like a few meters from it. I made a big expensive mistake by buying it ..pretty sure there are MUCH better options and half the price. I was fooled by the hype and marketing of the DYSON brand.

[@flo496]

does not deserve that much money

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

It *is* very expensive!
