  • The Dyson Pure Cool-Me is a personal air purifier and fan designed for individual use, offering quiet operation and effective cooling.
  • It features a 'bladeless' design with concealed air-moving elements, making it safe around children.
  • The device is energy-efficient, consuming only a few Watts at the lowest setting and about 30 Watts at full speed.
  • It includes an oscillating mode for wider air distribution, though its effectiveness in purifying an entire room is uncertain.
  • The Cool-Me uses a glass HEPA filter, claimed to remove 99.95% of allergens and pollutants, but replacement filters are expensive (£70).
  • The device lacks external controls, relying on a small, inconvenient remote with limited range.
  • Despite its high price (£300), the Cool-Me was discontinued due to low sales, and replacement filters may become scarce.
  • The author praises the Cool-Me for its quiet operation, energy efficiency, and ability to improve air quality, but acknowledges its high cost as a significant drawback.
