Dyson has launched what may be its smartest air purifier yet, the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool. As the name suggests, it's a purifier that knows where you are and follows your movement, directing air to where you are and optionally turning itself off when you leave the room.
It doesn't just work for solo users. It can detect multiple people in the same room, automatically adjusting its oscillation to share the cooling "efficiently and evenly". By directing the air at people rather than 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 pricing
It's worth noting that like similar Dysons, this is a fan rather than an air conditioner so it doesn't refrigerate the air; it just moves it around very well. If you're looking for a portable air conditioner we've rounded up the best in-stock options right here.
In addition to the people 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's fully sealed to HEPA H13 standard and has automatic sensing of PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, NO₂, and formaldehyde.
As ever with Dyson, the device is very impressive but the price is pretty high, especially in the US – although it's a little more affordable than first announced. The press release listed the price as $894.99, but it's currently available from Dyson.com for a slightly less frightening $849.99 / £549.99. That works out at about AU$1,190, but it's not currently listed on Dyson's Australian website.
