Ranked #4 in Best Tower Fans

Dyson Purifier Cool TP07

4.0

2 sources$548as of Oct 16

The Dyson Purifier Cool TP07 is a bladeless tower fan with a sealed HEPA H13 and carbon filter, and reviewers split on it depending on which half they judge. HouseFresh calls it the best fan and air purifier combo on the market and measured its fan at 3.03 m/s, yet says it disappoints as a purifier alone: it took 62 minutes to clear HouseFresh's test room, longer than a $99 Levoit Core 300. PCMag gave it an Editors' Choice for its small footprint, app and voice control, with two complaints: it is expensive and it gets loud at full speed.

Strengths

— HouseFresh measured an average 3.03 m/s of airflow, more than three times the Blueair Pure Fan Auto it compared against
— 350-degree oscillation, which HouseFresh and Android Central both single out
— Entire machine is sealed to HEPA H13 standard, per PCMag

Watch-outs

— HouseFresh needed 62 minutes to clear its 728 cubic foot test room, against 54 minutes for the under-$100 Levoit Core 300
— PCMag found it disruptively loud at airflow level 10; HouseFresh measured 54.4 dB there
— $649.99 list price at Dyson, with genuine replacement filters at $79.99

Smart control on a budget is the Levoit Classic 42-Inch Smart Tower Fan's angle: 1252 CFM, 12 speed settings, full VeSync app integration with Alexa voice control, and a published 25 dB low-speed noise rating, all under $100.

Its vertical (60 deg up-down) oscillation is something no other fan in this list offers.

Strengths

— Levoit publishes 25 dB on low speed - genuinely quiet for sleeping
— VeSync app with full schedule programming, voice control via Alexa, and temperature sensor
— 90 degrees left-right plus 60 degrees up-down oscillation for vertical coverage

How they stack up

Dyson Purifier Cool TP07

The only fan on this page that also filters air, and by far the most expensive. It oscillates through 350 degrees, against 90 degrees side to side on the Levoit Classic 42-Inch and 60 degrees on the Lasko T42951 Wind Curve. Like the Levoit it has app and voice control, which the Lasko and the Honeywell HYF290B lack.

Levoit Classic 42-Inch Smart Tower Fan

The Levoit Classic 42-Inch Smart Tower Fan has VeSync app and Alexa voice control, where the Lasko T42951 Wind Curve and Honeywell HYF290B QuietSet 8 list no smart features. It offers 12 speeds against the Lasko's 3 and the Honeywell's 8, and oscillates 90 degrees left-right plus 60 degrees up-down against the Lasko's 60 degrees. The Dyson Purifier Cool TP07 has sealed HEPA H13 filtration and 350-degree oscillation at a much higher price.
