Dyson has launched what might be its smartest air purifier to date, the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool. As the name suggests, it is a purifier that knows where you are and follows your movement, directs the air to where you are and possibly turns itself off when you leave the room.
It doesn’t only work for solo users. It can detect multiple people in the same room and automatically adjusts its oscillation to share the cooling “efficiently and evenly”. By directing the air towards people instead of just into the room, the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool should be more energy efficient than less intelligent devices.
Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool: key details and prices
It’s worth noting that, like similar Dysons, this is a fan rather than an air conditioner, so it doesn’t cool the air; it just moves it around very well. If you’re looking for a portable air conditioner, we’ve rounded up the best options in stock right here.
In addition to the person detection, the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool has a typically high specification. Its K-Carbon + HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of ultra-fine particles as small as 0.3 microns and promises to capture 50% more NO₂ than rival purifiers. It is fully sealed to the HEPA H13 standard and has automatic detection of PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, NO₂ and formaldehyde.
As always with Dyson, the device is very impressive, but the price is quite high, especially in the US – although it is a bit more affordable than first advertised. The press release listed the price as $894.99, but it’s currently available from Dyson.com for a slightly less daunting $849.99 / £549.99. It costs around AU$1,190, but it’s not currently listed on Dyson’s Australian website.
