Dyson Pure Cool TP04 Design
This masterpiece of engineering features a slender base supporting an elegant, open amp, through which the purified air cascades like a sonnet of freshness
The Dyson TP04 is available in three different colors:
The Amplifier
The amplifier, commonly referred to as the “amp” is one of the most standout features of Dyson air purifiers. The bladeless amp is designed to move air without needing rotating blades or other small parts / attachments.
The Controls
The TP04 boasts a trio of control methods, offering a symphony of choices to its users:
- Display Screen
- Remote Control
- Smartphone Control
1) Display Screen
Nestled at the base, the LCD screen provides real-time air quality readings, customizable settings, and the current fan speed, akin to a conductor’s baton directing the purifier’s performance.
2) Remote
The remote control allows you to:
- Turn the purifier on / off
- Adjust fan speed (1-10)
- Oscillate base of the purifier (0-350°)
- Reverse airflow (forward or backwards)
- Turn on the sleep timer
- Turn on Auto Mode
- Flip through sensor readings (using the “i” button)
The magnetic remote allows for seamless manipulation, granting users the power to commence or cease the symphony.
3) Dyson Link App
A digital symphony hall, the app offers complete control and monitoring, affording users the liberty to access all features present on the remote, real-time air quality updates based on location, sensor data readings, automated scheduling, voice control (with compatible devices), and firmware updates for continuous refinement.
The Filters
The TP04 harmonizes its purification efforts with a duo of filters:
- 360° Glass HEPA Filter: Exquisite in its precision, this filter captures particulate matter as small as 0.3 microns, ensuring that no impurity shall disrupt the symphony.
- Activated Carbon Filter: The support act to the HEPA filter, this component tackles odors, silencing their discordant notes, and leaving the air refreshed.
How does it work?
In a breathtaking performance, untreated air is drawn into the base, enveloped by the filters’ harmonious melody of purification, before being gracefully distributed back into the room by the radial amp. The conductor, TP04, can deftly direct the airflow forward or backward, a masterstroke to accommodate the changing seasons.a

This information helps the Dyson air purifier to know when it’s time to adjust fan speed.
Operating Modes
The Dyson Pure Cool TP04 comes with three main modes you can run from this air purifier. The modes include:
Auto Mode: This intelligent feature uses integrated sensors to detect current air quality and automatically adjusts fan speed, ensuring optimal air purification. It even pauses the unit when the target air quality/temperature is reached, saving energy and lowering power bills.
Custom Mode: For those who prefer hands-on adjustments, the TP07 allows you to fine-tune settings, including fan speed, airflow direction, and oscillation, to your specific preferences.
Night Mode: Ideal for quiet and undisturbed sleep, Night Mode activates a sleep timer, dims the LCD screen, and operates at the quietest settings while continuously monitoring and responding to changes in air quality
Air Quality Assessment
The TP04’s air quality sensors provide detailed, real-time monitoring of indoor and outdoor air quality. The data is displayed on the LCD screen or the Dyson Link app, allowing you to make informed adjustments to maintain clean air.
Of course, when in Auto Mode, the purifier will be able to adjust to varying air quality automatically.
Dyson Performance
To truly appreciate the TP04’s virtuosity, we subjected it to rigorous tests, transforming our home-based testing lab into a stage for its performance. The TP04 demonstrated exceptional prowess, reducing PM2.5 by a staggering 97% within an hour of operation in a medium-sized room (approximately 12’x12′). The symphony of purification swept away particles, leaving the room in harmonious equilibrium.
What is PM?
PM stands for “Particulate Matter”. This measurement can basically be divided into two camps , PM10 and PM2.5.
- PM 10 = particulate matter that is 10 micrometers and smaller
- PM 2.5 = particulate matter that is 2.5 micrometers and smaller
Starting Baseline
PM2.5: 7.4
PM10: 12.1
Particles: 599
AQI: 30
After 1 hour
PM2.5: 0.2
PM10: 0.2
Particles: 14
AQI: 0
Within 1 hour, the Dyson removed 98% of air particulates from the medium-sized room we tested in (approx. 12’x12′). Dyson improved PM 2.5 air quality by 97%.
How loud is the Dyson Pure Cool?
The Dyson Pure Cool air purifier ranges between 40-56 dB depending on room size, fan speed, and ambient noise present in the room.
Setup & Usability
The TP04’s setup is straightforward—unbox, install filters, plug it in, and start purifying. Usability is intuitive, offering options for manual customization or letting the purifier work autonomously in Auto Mode.
We simply:
- Unboxed the air purifier.
- Installed the filters.
- Plugged the purifier in.
- Turned it on.
Dyson Maintenance
The maintenance on the Dyson Pure Cool TP04 basically boils down to following digital prompts.
Maintenance is a breeze with the TP04, as the digital screen and Dyson Link app provide prompts for filter replacement. Keeping the filters up-to-date ensures optimal performance and prevents particulate build-up
You can also check out the current status of your filters at any time to see where you’re at regarding usage.
Is the Dyson Pure Cool TP04 a good value?
While this magnum opus does demand a significant investment, the symphony of design, accessories, features, usability, setup, noise level, maintenance, and performance it delivers make it a compelling value proposition. The TP04’s smart capabilities, coupled with its multiple control options, offer a crescendo of possibilities to cater to users’ preferences.
Despite the high price point, it’s still total value for money.
