Spot anything new in our home? :)



It fits right into the colour tone of our living room that I don't blame you if you didn't notice at first glance!

THIS, is the new addition in our home.

Meet the all-new Dyson Pure Cool Link Purifier Fan!

To own a Dyson product has been a dream of mine ever since we got our own place 4 years ago. Their problem solving philosophy and brilliant technology is second to none, which has been proven with its star products such as the famous Dyson bladeless fan, vacuum cleaner, and recently the hair dryer! One of the latest products to join the Dyson family is this amazing air purifier (that also works as a bladeless fan!) that sends my heart racing just talking about it. And now to get my hands on it makes me feel super excited and extremely blessed! Stay tuned as I share more about it in this post!

Meanwhile, let the unboxing begin!

So what's in the box?

- Dyson loop amplifier

- Base + filter

- Remote Control

- Operations Manual

And 2 years guarantee for the product!

TADDA!

Look at this sleek, gorgeous thing!

There are two colours available- White Silver and Iron Blue. Both colours look amazing, but without a shadow of doubt I knew in my heart I'd pick a White Silver unit because I'm a huge fan of all things white! I could already imagine how it'd fit seamlessly right into our home. *dreamy eyes*

With only 2 main parts to air purifier, it is super easy to assemble/dissemble! If someone as noob as me when it comes to assembling things can do it, so can you! Plus, weighing only 3.7kg (which is half the weight of Tyler OMG), it is super light to carry around the home! Which is a serious plus point because for someone as petite (and quite unfit) as me, to carry a heavy and bulky air purifier between our bedroom and the living room would be a tough feat. But in this case, I can carry it around with one hand, baybeh! *sunglasses emoji*

"Ooo mama, is that my new toy?"

"New toy looks yummyyyy!"

No, son it's not a toy! But it's definitely safe if you decide to play with it!

"Oh kewl!"

This cutie patootie just stood there playing peekaboo with his daddy while I assembled the purifier fan! Thanks Papa Boon for keeping Tyler entertained!

Sorry for the #TylerSpam, I'm just super proud of how my shots turned out looking so fine hahaha! Captured through our Dyson loop amplifier!

Now on to the interesting details!

Here are 5 reasons why I love the Dyson Pure Cool Link Purifier Fan:

#1: Impressive filter performance

Have you heard of the joke that in Malaysia, there are also four seasons like other countries? There's the hot season, rainy season, dengue season, and the haze season -.- *weak laugh*

It's a very sad joke and a sad reality, especially the haze season! I can endure the hot and rainy seasons. For dengue season? Well we could always stay indoors, wear mosquito repellents and protect our homes by installing mosquito nettings (Which is exactly what we did! Our home is now mozzie-free!).

But the haze season is something that I feel very helpless about. There seems to be no way to combat this on our level, and no way to escape it because it's in the air we breathe. Whether we're indoors or out, we still inhale harmful polluted air everywhere we go.

And guess what? The haze season is back with a vengeance as I type. Many people will soon be avoiding the outdoors and camp at home with the air-conditioner in full blast. Well, at least that's what I did, thinking it was the best solution to take shelter from the horrible haze.

The truth is, being indoors isn't very much a safer option than outdoors, and here's why.

Air pollution inside our home can be up to 5 times worse than outside, this is because modern buildings are built sealed, which trap ultra-fine and harmful indoor air pollutants that are invisible to our naked eyes. Yet we spend approximately 90% of our time indoors! Many families invest in air purifiers for this very reason, but not all air purifiers use effective filters, causing potentially harmful, ultra-fine particles to escape back into the room. Which equals to having no air purifier at all.

Dyson engineers have combined their expertise in fluid dynamics and filtration systems with software to develop the new Dyson Pure Cool Link, by using a combination of 360° glass HEPA filter and active carbon filter. The 360° glass HEPA is made from borosilicate microfibres, pleated over 200 times to remove 99.95% of pollutants and allergens as small as 0.1micron, while the active carbon filter captures odours and harmful toxins such as benzene, trapping them in the filter and keeping the air in our homes clean.

For this reason, it is certified asthma and allergy friendly by Allergy Standards Limited, which is a reason to rejoice for me particularly because Boon is asthmatic and is ultra sensitive to allergens. It also arrived just in time for the dreaded haze season so yay to cleaner air in our home!

HAZE, I'M READY FOR YOU!!

#2: Minimal Footprint.

Two-in-one: Purifier + Fan

For a small home like ours, space is king! Which is why as much as possible we try to keep our furniture as space-saving as we can. So to know that the Dyson Pure Cool Link is both an air purifier AND a bladeless fan in one is a great plus point for us! Reducing the need to buy a fan and an air purifier separately.

Plus, the air that is being circulated through the fan is purified air, which makes it even better!

Here's a tip:

For purified, cool air, place your Dyson Pure Cool Link device right in front of your air-cond unit, so the air from your air-cond can be filtered through the device and subsequently be released as cool, and purified air!

#3: Auto-adjusted filter mode according to the air quality in your home

As a stay-at-home-mom, I'm perpetually busy and occupied with Tyler and managing the household + my work on the side! It's juggling and juggling every single day, which leaves me with very little time on my hands. How I wish we have 48 hours a day instead!

So what I do is that I just leave our Dyson Pure Cool Link on Auto mode, and be rest assured that it knows what to do. This is because one of the star features of this amazing device is that it has a sensor that detects changes in air quality before automatically adjusting airflow to maintain target air quality.

Which is super amazing because I don't have to think about adjusting the airflow throughout the day. Dyson can do it for me!

That gives me peace of mind and to fully focus on taking care of Tyler and the household, knowing that the air we breathe is well taken care of.

Which leads me to the next reason!

#4: Control it from anywhere in the world

Wow wow wow, what do I mean by that??

THIS.

Welcome to the first page of my phone apps, where only the most important apps stand a chance to take their rightful place. And the Dyson Link App made it to the list (and Pokemon GO too hahaha)!

Yes, you read it right. Dyson has an app specially for the Dyson Pure Cool Link! With this app, I can switch on the device, adjust it and monitor the air quality in your home from anywhere in the world. Yes, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! Truly the next step to a connected home.

This is great because we can switch it on while we are on the way home, right in our car so that we return to a cooler home with cleaner air! Also perfect for instances when Tyler falls asleep in the car. We can now turn on the filter and fan to cool the room down and put Tyler straight to sleep the moment we reach home.

Also for those of you who are frequent travelers always away from home, you can still keep the air in your home clean but switching on the filter remotely from wherever you are at that point in time. OMG I can't stress enough just how useful this feature is!

With the Dyson Link app, remote control is literally REMOTE now.

Geddit? Geddit?? :P

Aside from that, the Dyson Link app has other useful features such as tracking and displaying the current house temperature and level of air quality in our home!

We can also adjust the airflow levels (from 1-10) right from the app, determine the 'swing' function of the Dyson Pure Cool Link, schedule for switch on or off, and adjusting to Night Mode where it automatically dims the LED display and silences the airflow. Perfect if you have babies at home! Air Purifier can be switched on without disturbing baby's sleep at all!

It also tracks and records air quality history so you can view on the Dyson Link app if air quality in your home has improved or deteriorated within the past few days, weeks or months! How amazing is this??

If you're not so much into phone apps and stuff, no worries! The remote control works efficiently as well, and the best part is?

It is designed in a way to dock perfectly on top of the Dyson Pure Cool Link with in-built magnets! No more worries about not being able to find your remote control anymore. Just dock it back to the top of the device! It's overall just so well thought out.

#5: Long-lasting, easy maintenance

The question that everyone will ask about air purifiers is:

"How frequently am I require to change the filter?"

Because filter capacity matters. If the filter capacity is low, that means more filters need to be replaced. Which eventually means, more spending!

For a powerful air purifier + fan like Dyson Pure Cool Link, you're only required to change your filter in 12 months (if you switch on for 12 hours a day), and 6 months (if you switch on 24/7, all day, everyday). Sounds fair to me! And don't worry if you lose track of time as the Dyson app also displays the filter life and tells you when it needs to be replaced!

Many great products come with amazing features, but when it comes to maintenance, it is often pretty troublesome. But I'm relieved to find that for the Dyson Pure Cool Link, it is easy to maintain. Change of filter can be done swiftly simply by replacing a new filter with the old, while just a quick wipe is all it takes to clean the device!

All in all, this is, to me one of the best, most thoughtfully designed device we have in our home. We have tried using different air purifiers before but none like the Dyson Pure Cool Link. To know that we now have clean, purified air while taking shelter from the haze outside gives me peace of mind that we're breathing healthy air into our lungs, especially Tyler's little lungs! As an infant his organs are developing rapidly, so it is crucial that purified air is supplied to Tyler's lungs for healthy, optimal development.

That's us enjoying the cool air from the Dyson Pure Cool Link. See this Tyler so enjoy hahaha!

His 'life is good' face come out again! Hahaha

Personally, I feel that this is a product worth investing in. Some of the most crucial things in life such as clean water and clean air are many times being disregarded as unimportant just because we cannot see the impurities with our naked eye. Over the decades, many have learned and made the decision to invest in good quality water filters, and the same priority should be placed on air purifiers as the air we breathe is as important as the water we drink, if not, more.

The Dyson Pure Cool Link is retailing at RM3,399.
