The Dyson Pure Cool TP01 is a combined air purifier and fan. It's more stripped-down than the similarly sized Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, with no Wi-Fi connectivity, particle detection, or automatic fan speed adjustment. Its fan also has a more limited range of motion, oscillating up to 70 degrees, compared to the TP07's 350-degree range.

Our Verdict

5.7
Pets 

The Dyson Pure Cool Air Purifier is unlikely to be adequate for most pet owners. It isn't especially efficient at cleaning larger rooms, and it struggles to capture the finest airborne particles, like cat dander. On the upside, it won't startle many pets while running due to its quiet operation.

Pros
  • Fairly quiet operation, even at higher fan speeds.

Cons
  • Slow air cleaning rate.
7.3
Bedroom 

The Dyson Pure Cool Air Purifier is decent for use in bedrooms. It runs pretty quietly, especially at lower fan settings, which is good if you're running it overnight. Its display can also be turned completely off, so you won't have to worry about any blinking lights out of the corner of your eye when sleeping. Unfortunately, its actual air purification performance is pretty poor, and its low clean air delivery rate means that it's really only best suited for use in smaller rooms.

Pros
  • Fairly quiet operation, even at higher fan speeds.

  • Works as a cooling fan.
  • Display can be turned completely off.
Cons
  • Slow air cleaning rate.
  • No automatic fan speed adjustment feature.
4.9
Particle Filtration Rate 

The Dyson Pure Cool TP01 has a bad particle filtration rate. Its bladeless design results in high efficacy as a cooling fan, but it does little to actually pull particulates through its onboard filter, resulting in low CADR. As a result, despite its somewhat bulky size, this unit is really only suited for use in tiny dorm rooms or especially small bedrooms and offices.

Pros
  • Fairly quiet operation, even at higher fan speeds.

Cons
  • Slow air cleaning rate.

  • Changelog

    1.  Updated Feb 11, 2026: 

      We've updated the text in this review to reflect new tests added with version 1.1 of our test bench.

    2.  Updated Feb 11, 2026: Version 1.1 of our air purifier testing methodology provides a more representative summary of unit performance, with a revised Particle Filtration Rate test conducted in a better-sealed environment and a more reliable means of generating consistently sized particulate matter. We've also included a parameter for the machine's maximum recommended room size. For a more detailed breakdown of the changes made, see our full changelog.
    3.  Updated Nov 04, 2025: Version 1.0.2 of our Air Purifier Test Bench rectifies calculation errors in our existing Particle Filtration Rate test to provide more representative results of some units. For a more detailed breakdown of the changes made, see our full changelog.
    4.  Updated Oct 31, 2024: Converted to Test Bench 1.0.1.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    There are two variants of this device, differing only in color. The TP01 is available in either White/Silver or Black/Nickel colorways. We tested the White/Silver version, and you can see its label here.

    Let us know in the comments if you come across any other variants of this machine.

    Popular Air Purifier Comparisons

    This combination fan/air purifier is far from the best option on the market. While the TP01 runs quietly and doubles as a fan, there are cheaper ways of keeping your home free of airborne pollutants; consider something like the Winix C545 if you want a basic air purifier that runs quietly and performs well.

    The minimalist display at the center of this machine shows the current fan speed setting. If you set a 'Sleep Timer' using the included remote control, the display will shut off after 10 seconds of inactivity.

    This air purifier features a two-stage filter system comprising a '360 Glass' HEPA filter for dealing with most airborne particles, along with a separate layer to minimize odors. Unusually, no description is provided regarding the composition of this filter.

    The Dyson's display will show an 'F' with three horizontal lines when it's time to replace the filter, which lasts a year if you use the machine for 12 hours daily. You can buy a replacement filter here.

    The Dyson Pure Cool TP01's particle filtration rate is bad. As we discovered in our initial investigation into air purifier design and efficacy, Dyson's bladeless air purifier units have low input airflow, drawing in little contaminated air. Their airfoil-shaped outlets accelerate outgoing air by generating a pressure differential, but very little of that air actually passes through the unit's filtration system, resulting in a low CADR. All told, the TP01 is really only suited for use in the smallest spaces and will struggle to remove particles from the air even in modestly sized living areas.

    This is a quiet unit overall. At its lowest fan speed setting, it won't be a disturbance while you're trying to get some sleep, and while it does get louder at its highest setting, it's far from a massive nuisance. If you have it set up in your living room, turning up the TV volume by a notch or two should mostly mask its operating noise.
