Air Purifiers / Dyson
Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 TP10
Sealed H13 and a real PM readout, from the one brand that will not tell you its CADR.
Overall score 6.3/10
Pros
- + Whole-machine sealing to HEPA H13 is a stronger claim than a media-grade H13 sticker, and almost no rival makes it
- + Live numeric PM2.5 and PM10 on the LCD rather than a green/amber/red light
- + One filter, one part number, $79.99 a year, no subscription and no filter-chemistry upsell
- + Purely mechanical and CARB Mechanical — nothing to switch off, nothing that could make ozone
- + It is also a genuinely good 350°-oscillating fan, which changes the maths in a hot bedroom
Cons
- − No CADR, no room size, no AHAM listing — you cannot compare its cleaning rate with anything here
- − No noise figure and no wattage published for the US model
- − The Gen1 deliberately omits Wi-Fi and the MyDyson app, so there is no scheduling and no air-quality history
- − The remote is the only real control surface; the machine body has a single button
- − $479.99 buys 435 verified CFM from Blueair or 253 from Winix; here the airflow is simply not stated
Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 TP10 review: what the specs say
Sealed H13 and a real PM readout, from the one brand that will not tell you its CADR. At $479.99, Dyson's 2023 model sits at the premium end of the category — the air Purifiers we compare run from $49.99 to $1,014.99. It scores 6.3/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Freedom From Ozone & Air Chemistry at 9.5/10 — whether the unit adds an ioniser, plasma, UV or photocatalytic stage to the airstream, whether that stage can be switched off, and how CARB classifies the device — 'Mechanical' means filtration only, 'Electronic' means capable of generating ozone and certified only as being at or below 0.050 ppm. The weakest is Coverage-Claim Honesty at 2.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: no CADR, no room size, no AHAM listing — you cannot compare its cleaning rate with anything here; and no noise figure and no wattage published for the US model. Every specification on this page comes from Dyson's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.

Full Specifications
| AHAM Verifide CADR (Smoke / Dust / Pollen) | Not published, and not AHAM Verifide. Dyson does not appear in the AHAM Verifide directory in August 2026 and publishes no CADR for any model. Dyson's own performance claim is a filtration-efficiency claim (99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, tested to EN1822 with DEHS oil in an ASTM F3150 chamber) — that is about what the media catches, not how much air it cleans per minute. CFM |
| AHAM Verifide Room Size (4.8 ACH) | Not listed in the AHAM Verifide directory (August 2026) ft² |
| Coverage Claim & Its Air-Change Basis | Dyson publishes no square-footage figure for the TP10 at all — the claim is "whole-room purification" in auto mode. Dyson's larger models are quoted using its own POLAR test rather than AHAM's. Refusing to state a room size is at least not a dishonest room size, but it makes cross-shopping impossible. |
| Filter Grade (True HEPA / HEPA-Type / H13) | Sealed HEPA H13 whole-machine construction: 360° borosilicate glass HEPA media plus activated carbon in a single cartridge, with the machine itself sealed to H13 so air cannot bypass the filter. The sealing claim is the meaningful part and few rivals make it. |
| Pre-Filter (Washable?) | None separate — the glass HEPA and carbon are one sealed cartridge with no washable stage |
| Filter Cost per Year | $79.99/yr — 360° Glass HEPA and Activated Carbon filter, part 965432-01, $79.99, replaced every 12 months per Dyson. One part, one price, no variants and no subscription. |
| Ioniser / UV / PCO & CARB Classification | None. No ioniser, no UV, no PCO, no plasma. CARB-certified and classified MECHANICAL (dyson Air Purifier TP10, EO G-23-122, notified 2023-05-31). |
| Noise, Lowest to Highest Setting | Not published by Dyson for this model. Dyson quotes sound power in some markets but the US TP10 page gives no dB figure at either end; there is a Night mode described only as quiet. dB |
| Air Quality Sensor | Real particulate sensing with numeric output: the LCD displays live PM2.5 and PM10 readings, not just a colour. No VOC or NO2 channel on the Gen1 (the higher TP07/TP09 tiers add those). |
| Smart Features & Offline Operation | None on the Gen1. No Wi-Fi, no MyDyson app, no account, no firmware, no air-quality history. Everything is on the remote — which is also the only controller, since the machine itself has one button. |
| Power Draw & Annual Energy | Not published by Dyson on the US TP10 page. Max airflow is quoted as 76 gallons per minute (about 10.2 CFM of fan output at the aperture, which is not a CADR). |
| Warranty Terms & Conditions | 2-year limited warranty covering parts and labour, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee |
| Connectivity | None — infrared remote only; the Gen1 has no Wi-Fi and no MyDyson app |
| Material | Polycarbonate ABS tower on a moulded base |
| Warranty | 24 months |
