Dyson Launches New Air Purifier in the UAE Market

Dyson has launched its latest generation of purification machines in the UAE, with new solid-state formaldehyde sensing technology. According to the company, its new Dyson Purifier Formaldehyde range is designed to capture ultra-fine dust and allergens while destroying potentially dangerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including formaldehyde. The colourless gas pollutant is released by furniture and wooden products containing formaldehyde-based resins like plywood and fibreboard, as well as insulating materials and do-it-yourself products such as paint, wallpapers, varnishes and household cleaning products.
Being 500 times smaller than particles the size of 0.1 microns, formaldehyde is particularly difficult to capture and, if left undetected, can lead to prolonged exposure due to the continuous release of airborne chemicals, known as off-gassing. While other gel-based formaldehyde sensors can deteriorate over time and are easily confused with other VOC pollution, Dyson’s new, solid-state formaldehyde sensor works alongside Dyson’s unique algorithm to precisely monitor formaldehyde levels- intelligently ignoring other gases which are detected by a dedicated VOC sensor.
Tireless and ever-dissatisfied, Dyson engineers have also re-engineered the machine airflow pathways to achieve fully-sealed HEPA 13 standard filtration – not only ensuring that no air bypasses the filter but blocking any potential leak points through which dirty air might enter the airflow. This means Dyson’s latest purifiers remove 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns. Improvements of the airflow journey have made the Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde 20% quieter, without any compromise on purification performance to reduce unwanted noise at home.
Alex Knox, Vice President of Environmental Care at Dyson, said, “The off-gassing tendency of formaldehyde means that it can go undetected in a home for years. Dyson has engineered a machine that provides accurate and successful sensing, capture and destruction of the pollutant. Our solid-state sensor doesn’t dry out over time, lasting the lifetime of the machine. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised global awareness about the air that we breathe and Dyson’s commitment to providing cleaner air through innovation and technology remains at the forefront of our mission.”
“Dyson Purifier machines are engineered for real spaces. The industry standard for testing air purifiers measures performance using a laboratory test conducted in a compact chamber 12m² in size, with a ceiling fan to circulate the air and one sensor inside the room measuring air quality. For more representative testing, Dyson’s POLAR test is based on a larger room size of 27m² with no added fan and uses eight sensors in the corners of the room and one sensor in the centre to collect air quality data,” the company said.
In addition to the existing particle, NO2, VOCs, temperature and humidity sensors, the integration of an intelligent formaldehyde sensor ensures precise sensing of the pollutant for the lifetime of the machine. Formaldehyde sensors can be gel-based and may deteriorate gradually as they dry out over time. Using an electrochemical cell, the Dyson formaldehyde sensor does not dry out and its unique intelligent algorithm cross-checks data every second, selectively sensing to avoid confusion with other VOCs.
Dyson’s Selective Catalytic Oxidisation (SCO) filter continuously destroys formaldehyde at a molecular level. The catalytic filter has a unique coating, with the same structure as the Cryptomelane mineral. Its billions of atom-sized tunnels are the optimal size and shape to trap and destroy formaldehyde, breaking it down into tiny amounts of water and CO2. It then regenerates from oxygen in the air to keep destroying it continuously without ever requiring replacement.
In Dyson’s new purifiers, it’s not just the filter that meets HEPA H13 standard, but the whole machine. It captures H1N1 virus and 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns such as allergens, bacteria, pollen and mould spores. Dyson engineers took a forensic approach to achieve a fully-sealed machine, creating high-pressure seals at an additional 24 critical points to prevent dirty air from bypassing the filters and carrying pollutants back into the room.
The Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde purifying fan is now available in the UAE, at dyson.ae, in Dyson Demo zones, and in partner retail outlets, starting at AED 2699.

Honeywell Air Touch V1 Air Purifier Review: Clean Air Made Simple

The Honeywell Air Touch V1 is a compact and efficient air purifier, perfect for smaller spaces. With its impressive performance, quiet operation, and user-friendly features, it’s a valuable addition to any home or office.
Design
The Honeywell Air Touch V1 sports a sleek, modern design. It features a cylindrical chassis with a white upper motor housing and a light grey bottom housing equipped with intake air vents. The top part of the purifier houses the air exhaust vents and a touch-sensitive control panel. Measuring 216 x 216 x 322 mm and weighing 1.5 kg, it’s easy to move around. The Honeywell logo is prominently displayed on the front side.
Build Quality
Built with high-quality materials, the Honeywell Air Touch V1 is solid and durable, ensuring longevity and reliability. The upper and bottom housings can be easily separated by turning a handle on the bottom panel, allowing for straightforward filter replacement.
Features
User-friendly and easy to operate, the Honeywell Air Touch V1 features three fan speed settings, allowing you to adjust the purification intensity based on your needs. It includes a filter change indicator that alerts you when it’s time to replace the filters. The filters typically last for about 9,000 hours, or approximately one year of regular use. The device consumes 12W of power and operates on a voltage range of 100-240V~, 50/60Hz.
Performance
The Honeywell Air Touch V1 boasts a three-stage filtration system, including a Pre-Filter, a high-grade H13 HEPA filter, and an Activated Carbon filter. This combination effectively removes airborne pollutants, allergens, and odours.
The HEPA filter captures particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, and pet dander, making it ideal for allergy sufferers. The activated carbon filter helps eliminate odours from cooking or pets, enhancing the overall freshness of the indoor environment.
With a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of up to 152 m³/h, the purifier effectively cleans areas up to 235 square feet (22 square meters). It operates quietly at a noise level of just 29 dB/A at low speed, making it suitable for use in bedrooms and offices. Even at higher speeds, the noise remains manageable, allowing for comfortable use throughout the day and night.
App Connectivity
One downside of the Honeywell Air Touch V1 is that it does not support app connectivity. Honeywell does provide the Air Touch app, available on major mobile platforms, but it only supports connectivity with higher-end air purifiers from the company. App connectivity would be beneficial for checking indoor air quality before and after use. However, given the price point of the Air Touch V1, this limitation is understandable.
Verdict
The Honeywell Air Touch V1 is an excellent choice for those seeking a compact and effective air purifier. Its quiet operation and easy-to-use features make it a valuable addition to any home or office. While the filter life may be shorter than some larger models, the overall value and performance of the Air Touch V1 make it a worthwhile investment.
Price: AED 229
