Dyson’s humidifier kills bacteria and keeps your home healthy in winter
Oh, and it works as a fan in the summer to boot
What’s this? A new Dyson Air Multiplier fan?Not exactly – but it is based in similar technology and will double as a fan if required. This here is Dyson’s new humidifier, designed to keep your home nice and hydrated during the drier winter months.
Why do I need my home to be… moist?Dry household air isn’t good for your body. It can give you chapped lips, nosebleeds and dry skin, as well as exacerbating snoring and leaving you more vulnerable to colds and flu.
But there are other, cheap humidifiers around? Dyson’s will be pricey, no?
It will be: they’ve only revealed the Japanese price thus far (the product was announced in Toyko, you see) and it’s 60,000 yen – which converts to about £350 at the time of writing. However…
I sense the Dyson has something special…
You’re right. Dyson says regular humidifiers are pretty unhygienic: bacteria inside them can multiply and then be spread around your home. Dyson’s humidifier, on the other hand, uses UV light to cleanse the water inside, killing 99.9 percent of the dirty little life forms in three minutes. It’s the only humidifier that does this, apparently.
When can I buy one?
Dyson hasn’t revealed the specific on-sale date, but says the UK edition will be available through its own website as well as from John Lewis. Look out for it in November.
