Dyson has made a heater that also cleans your house.

The company has launched its Dyson Pure Hot + Cool link – a fan and heater made to blow out air at different temperatures. But where it differs is in also sending out that air after it has been purified, which the company claims can help the people living in its house and make people more healthy.

The new heater comes soon after Dyson launched its Pure Cool Link in the UK. That was mostly the same as the new fan but only offered the ability to send out cool air – whereas the new model can heat it, too.

The heater uses many of the same technologies that power the Pure Cool version. The centre part of that is Dyson’s 360-degree glass HEPA filter, which sits at the bottom of the fan and removes particles from the air that goes through it.

That works to sift out 99.95 per cent of harmful particles, according to the company. That can include formaldehyde from furniture, chemical substances from things like cleaners or candles, and the kind of mud, dirt and other unclean things that can come from normal life inside of a house.

Those are all captured inside the heater’s filter, which has to be changed around once a year.

The Pure Cool Link was Dyson’s first major venture into the connected home in the UK, since as well as the bundled remote it can also be controlled through the Dyson Link app for smartphones. That lets the heater be turned on and off remotely, as well as allowing people to set schedules so that the fan can change its settings entirely on its own.
