Dyson's new smart fan will tell you the quality of the air you're breathing
Dyson is hopping into the regular-product-turned-smart game with its new Pure Cool Link smart air-purifying fan. Smart air purifiers aren't exactly new, but a big name like Dyson jumping on the smartification bandwagon means these types of products could dominate the home air quality industry in the near future.
The purifying fan, which has a similar fan-less design to previous Dyson fan products, connects to your smartphone through an app and gives you live updates on your air quality. The new Dyson Link App is available for iOS and Android.

The fan itself detects the quality of the air around it with the help of data analytics company BreezoMeter. By using a unique filter, Dyson claims the Pure Cool Link removes 99.7% of all pollutants and allergens from the air, which can include bacteria, molds, pollen and even odors.
If the air quality is approaching anything less than desirable, the fan can communicate with your phone as long as it has a Wi-fi connection, and you can change whether the fan runs or how high it runs right from your phone. According to Dyson’s website, its purifier fan filters only need to be replaced every six months.
Dyson’s aim for this product is to help people keep their air clean inside their homes. According to data collected by the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollution can be up to five times worse than air pollution outside, and people undoubtedly want to reduce any possible air pollution where they spend the majority of their time.
The Dyson Pure Cool Link purifier fan is now available online for $500, and will arrive in retail stores on April 11. The same fan, minus the app connectivity, is available through Dyson for the same price.
