The Dyson Purifier Humidify+Cool PH2 De-NOx is a multifunction smart air purifier that uses HEPA and carbon filtration to remove harmful airborne pollutants and employs ultraviolet cleansing technology to deliver cool, clean, moist air. It offers numerous air quality readings and uses Matter technology to integrate with Alexa, Google, HomeKit, and SmartThings home automation platforms. At $1,099.99, it’s one of the more expensive air purifiers I’ve tested, but it is also among the most feature-rich and is worth the expense if you want to humidify the air that you breathe. If you don’t require humidification, the Dyson Hot+Cool Formaldehyde HP09 ($849.99) isn't Matter-enabled, but it heats, cools, and purifies, and it’s considerably less expensive than the PH2, so it remains our Editors' Choice.Design: A Minimalist Tower With Premium FinishesThe Humidify+Cool PH2 De-NOx uses the same gold-and-nickel oval tower design as the Hot+Cool Formaldehyde HP09. It stands 36.3 inches tall, has a base diameter of 12.3 inches, and weighs 17.9 pounds, making it taller and heavier than the HP09, which stands 30 inches tall and weighs 12.6 pounds. It uses multiple sensors to measure air quality, room temperature, and humidity levels. (Credit: John R. Delaney) The top half of the purifier features a glossy white, bladeless amplifier loop fan that distributes clean, hydrated air throughout the room. It uses Dyson’s Air Multiplier technology to circulate purified and hydrated air. Two airflow outlets on either side of the loop can be configured for 0, 45, or 90 degrees of oscillation action. The bottom half of the PH2 pulls air into the three-stage filtration system. Behind a removable panel sits the HEPA+K-Carbon filter and a catalytic filter. Features: Advanced HEPA Filtration, Humidification, and Precision Airflow ControlThe HEPA+K-Carbon consists of two semi-circular filter components. The K-Carbon element captures up to 50% more nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gases than a typical carbon-activated filter, according to Dyson. It also removes odors and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are carbon-based gases that are found in certain building materials, paints, and some household cleaners. The H13-grade HEPA filter can remove 99.97% of particles as
