Dyson is a brand well known for its high-quality vacuum cleaners and has revolutionized the way we clean. And staying with the same theme, the brand also produces some of the best air purifiers.

However, one problem is finding an air purifier that doesn’t encroach on your space and is quiet, especially if you plan to run it at night. Dyson has addressed these issues with the launch of the new HushJet Purifier Compact. As the name suggests, it’s small and mighty.

Dyson claims it’s the “most powerful small-format purifier yet”, and it’s engineered for whisper-quiet operation, whole-room purification with a filter that lasts five times longer.

We look forward to testing Dyson’s newest launch and seeing whether it warrants a place in our best air purifiers guide, as well as how it compares to the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 (TP11), released back in March. Although this newly launched HushJet Puirifer Compact is currently available direct from Dyson for $349, which is $200 less than the Dyson Purifier Cool PCI, available now for $549 at Dyson.

Dyson's small-format purifier is available in white and silver or black and teal. It's designed to be extra quiet for night time use and removes 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.

So what makes the design of the Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact special?

“We have developed a way to smooth high-speed airflow to minimise turbulence and reduce aerodynamic noise, allowing the Dyson HushJet to deliver very high-volume airflow while generating minimal noise,” says James Dyson, founder of Dyson.

Running at just 24dB while in Sleep mode, it makes it incredibly quiet. But apart from dropping the noise while you sleep, I can see the real benefit of running a quiet air purifier in the background while you’re working remotely. After all, nobody wants a loud appliance breaking their flow. So, whether you’re resting or working, it will capture airborne allergens like pollen, dust, and pet dander, reducing sniffles, dry throats, and itchy eyes.

Aside from being whisper-quiet, the air purifier is also small, although it doesn’t lack power. “We have transformed the compact purifier, creating our most efficient small-format machine yet, which captures 99.97% of pollutants as small as 0.3 microns,” Dyson adds.

Measuring 17.7in (45cm) x 9.05in (23cm) x 9.05in (23cm) — about the size of a small bedside table — and weighing 7.7lbs (3.5kg), it can cover a room up to 228 sq ft.

The new HushJet Air Purifier Compact also marks a shift for Dyson, moving away from its iconic Air Multiplier technology to what it calls a “sculptural HushJet entrainment nozzle,” which it says delivers stronger projection through airflow amplification. This involves entraining the surrounding air as the high-speed jet of air exits the nozzle. In simpler terms, Dyson describes it “like a concentrator on a hairdryer, increasing the velocity of the airflow — meaning faster, more powerful purification.”

We’ll report back once we get our hands on Dyson’s latest release and put it through our own testing to let you know if we achieve an undisturbed, allergy-free night’s sleep.
