I finally got my hands on Dyson’s first-ever ‘desktop’ air purifier – it proves size doesn’t matter when you’ve got the tech to back it up

Dyson’s impact on environmental care is a big one - and I say that both metaphorically and literally. After all, the brand’s previous contributions to the best air purifiers have either been integrated into their larger, freestanding fans or have been the size of a small horse (yes, I’m talking about you, Dyson Big+Quiet).

And as someone who lives in a small home, these options aren’t always practical for me. So, you can imagine my delight when I was finally able to get my hands on the Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact HJ10 - the brand’s most powerful, small-format purifier. This is how it fared when I put it through our air purifier testing process.
