One of the biggest concerns these days — with people spending most of their time indoors — is that the air indoors is almost as polluted as it is outside. And not only is the outside air responsible for polluted air indoors, there are several household activities that also add to air pollution at home. The biggest pollutant adding to indoor pollution is formaldehyde, which is emitted by numerous products like antiseptics, cleaning agents, press fabrics, cigarettes, cosmetics, wood products, and paints and varnishes. Formaldehyde is 500 times smaller than PM0.1, which makes capturing it a difficult task. However, the Dyson Hot+Cool Cryptomic promises to deal with that by automatically sensing indoor air pollution and capturing 99.95% of ultrafine particles while also destroying formaldehyde continuously. To achieve this, the Dyson air purifier comes with an LCD display that shows particles and gases that it automatically senses in real-time using the Dyson algorithm. It displays four different pollutant levels: PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, NO2. When it comes to capturing pollutants, the purifier incorporates vacuum-sealed H-13 Glass HEPA and Activated Carbon filters. The company says these filters help in capturing ultrafine pollutants as small as 0.1microns like allergens, bacteria, and pollen. Moreover, the carbon filters also increase absorption efficiency and remove odors, domestic fumes, and gases like Nitrogen Dioxide and Benzene.
Furthermore, to break down the pollutants, the Dyson Cryptomic features a catalytic coating that traps and destroys formaldehyde and further breaks it down into tiny amounts of water and carbon dioxide. Besides, since it also has a heater built-in, the air purifier keeps a check on the thermostat heat control and cuts off into standby mode when the target room temperature is met and turns back on when it senses a change in temperature.
Lastly, talking about projection, the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Cryptomic air purifier comes equipped with air multiplier technology and 360-degree oscillation, which it suggests projects 290 liters of purified air per second. The air purifier has a companion app for Android and iOS that allows you to keep track of the air quality at home, alongside temperature and humidity levels.
