First, bad news on Friday as the haze made a comeback. We hope it’s just a one-off, but in case it comes back for another season, here are our top 5 things to look for when buying an air purifier (including the one thing that matters more than anything else). Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 4, a metal body with a large 5.5” screen with a deca-core processor and big battery. Now in sale in China, but not yet in Singapore. More about the Redmi Note 4 here.

Ask the average consumers what comes to mind when they hear the name Dyson. Chances are, they will mention either the iconic bagless vacuum cleaners, the Airblade hand dryers, or the Air Multiplier bladeless fans. It is this very spirit of reinvention, instilled by founder Sir James Dyson some 24 years ago, that resulted in the new Dyson Pure Cool Link purifier fan, which was unveiled today for the South East Asian market.honeywell superior air cleaning whisper quiet By bringing together the collective minds and talents of its engineers and scientists across the U.K., Malaysia and Singapore, Dyson was able to take the cooling fan further by incorporating an intelligent purifier that automatically monitors the indoor air quality and captures ultra-fine particles as small as 0.1 microns from the air. whirlpool whispure 250 air purifier manual

For comparison, a strand of human hair is approximately 100 microns. We're looking at potentially harmful particles that are small enough to travel further into the lungs and bloodstream. A demonstration of the Auto mode, which detects the presence of smoke (through the built-in dust and VOC sensors) and adjusts the airflow accordingly.ozein air purifier Traditional air purifiers tend to feature bulkier design and the use of low-grade, synthetic filter to trap particles in the 3.0 to 10-micron range, with a chance of them escaping back into the room. The Dyson Pure Cool Link, on the other hand, utilizes a unique 360-degree Glass HEPA filter that traps 99.95 percent of allergens, odors and pollutants. Replacing the HEPA filter is as easy as unlocking and lifting the cylindrical outer shell, followed by swapping out the filter from its shroud. Annual replacement is recommended for filters with 12 hours of daily usage.

The decision to combine the functionality of two seemingly unrelated home appliances is also a sound one, especially for today's modern living environments, which are typically built sealed to block noise and facilitate air conditioning. What you get is a dual-function device that takes up very little real estate to deliver cool, purified air throughout the room. In fact, the new Night mode delivers noticeable drop in noise levels, while continuing to monitor and react to changes in air quality without disturbing your sleep. According to a Dyson representative, this is made possible by the brushless DC motor system, resulting in less friction and reduced vibration. This allows the fan to deliver 16 times better cooling performance, as well as 60-percent lower power consumption than traditional fans. The Dyson Link App is a culmination of efforts among 50 Dyson software and mechanical engineers. Designed for iOS and Android, the app allows remote monitoring of outdoor and indoor air quality, and more.

The Dyson Pure Cool Link also signals the company's first foray into the connected home. Paired with the new Dyson Link App, users can easily monitor historical data on the indoor air quality to determine peak pollution times, or control fan speeds, sleep timer, and activate intelligent purification at a moment's notice.The Dyson Pure Cool Link is available in two colors: White Silver and Iron Blue. The Tower variant will be arriving in stores in mid-July, while the Desk variant will arrive at a later date. Local pricing is yet to be confirmed, but they are currently available in Singapore for a recommended retail price of SGD1,099 (approx. RM3,300) and SGD699 (approx. RM2,100), respectively.

AV Peripherals and Systems Media Streamers and Hubs News for Past 12 MonthsThe Dyson came up with a blade-less Pure Cool Link purifier fans you've seen for years. Aside from being air purifiers, it can also be linked through the internet to your smartphone, which explains the 'Link' on its name.

The number one thing to know about them is that unlike having an air purifier plus fan in your room, having the two of them in one machine helps save space. The fact that you can control and monitor your Dyson fans through the Dyson Link App makes them easier to control and monitor, not only do the apps work as remotes, they also show you air quality in and out of the house (the out of the house data is supplied by a third party, not from the fan), and tell you when you need to change the HEPA filter. That HEPA filter is important — as it’s the number one thing you need to look for when buying an air purifier. HEPA filters capture 99.5% of the ultra-fine bad stuff in the air, including the very bad 0.3 micron particles that can get into your lungs and lodge there. One cool (hur hur) about the Dyson Pure Cool Link fans is how easy the HEPA filters are to change. Just unlock the fan, take out the cylindrical outer shell, and swap out the round filter. The fan itself is surprisingly light, I had no problems lifting it up with one hand.

Another cool thing about the fan is how you can set it to Auto mode, and it’ll start itself up and start cleaning the air if it detects pollutants in the room. Now, you will need to think about one thing — air purifiers need to work in an enclosed room. If you leave the windows open, no air purifier will have a chance with all the air that comes in and out. So, do you want to be in a hot Singapore room with all the windows and doors closed, using only a fan to cool yourself down? My guess is people will use this in concert with an air-conditioner. There are two versions of the Dyson Pure Cool Link Purifier Fan. The bigger fan will be available from end-April for S$1,099. The smaller desktop purifier will be available from end-May at S$699. That’s some cool coin for these fans. Still, if you want to spring big money for an air purifier, you can’t do prettier than these Dysons, and it’s nice to have an air purifier that also doubles as a fan to help circulate the air, instead of blowing the air continuously in a single direction like a standard air purifier.
