Our only caveat – beyond its price – is that it isn’t the most portable of appliances, so you won’t want to be moving it around too much.ĭyson Purifier HP09 Hot+Cool Formaldehyde reviewĪlthough it comes in a few pieces, the Pilot Max tower fan is simple to put together. It also features an LCD display, with complete air quality information. It has smart capabilities and you can use it with a home assistant or via the excellent Dyson Link app (available for both Apple and Android). Thanks to its air purifying function, you’ll get the benefit of clean air as well. Point it at you while you’re working, relaxing or sleeping and it’ll keep you cool – but obviously it’s not an air conditioner, so it won’t lower the temperature in an entire room. It’s an effective fan, although it works best for personal cooling. It can stand on a desk or on the floor and you can angle the airflow up and down for a targeted effect. As a plus, it destroys formaldehyde in the air (which you’ll get if you have a fire or wood burner, or if you’re painting or renovating – as well as from cosmetics and other sources) – something that not all air purifiers do. Use it as a fan in summer, a heater in winter and an air purifier year-round. This stylish appliance from Dyson has three in one functionality, so you can cut down on gadget clutter in your home. If budget is no issue, this is our top pick. You’ll also need to clean the tank regularly, and getting the tank in and out of the appliance is a bit of a hassle.īut at just 3p an hour to run, this is the cheapest way to stay cool over summer. We would caution that, as it’s an electrical appliance with a tank of water in the base, it needs to be kept well away from kids and pets. This gives you the option to create scenes and use voice commands via Alexa or Google Assistant.

There’s a full range of controls on the cooler itself and it comes with a remote – but as it’s a smart appliance, you can also control it via the accompanying app.

You just fill up the water tank at the base and switch it on. It’s an evaporative cooler that uses water (and ice) to chill the air it blows out. A fan will make you more comfortable but it can’t actually lower the temperature of the air.
