DysonHEPA Big+Quiet Formaldehyde BP06

Ok so I have read other reviewer's reservations on this model, comparing it to the BP03 and BP04 and pointing out this model's (BP06) "lack of features" in comparison. Many recommend going with the BP03 and BP04 as they have a remote and smart phone connectivity as well as sensors that read out a bunch of different pollutants in the air, etc. I have a different take and I wanted to share it here.There are a number of reasons why I prefer this model over the other, more feature-rich, models:1) I like the neutral color palette of this model (BP06). The silver and white is a bright and goes with just about any decor. Additionally, I find the White/Silver (compared to the others) classier looking. Granted this is both a personal-taste and room-decor based assessment. That said, the Blue and Gold colors of the feature-rich models would not mesh with my esthetic nor my decor.2) I try to eliminate the use of WIFI in my home (everything is wired) so I am not interested in another wireless device putting out EMF pollution in my home. This model does not even support wireless, which is wonderful as I don't need to disable it. Especially when placed in your bedroom, no one needs another EMF emitting device bathing your environment while you sleep.3) With less technology comes less components that can break. Being a repair tech, I realize that these features come with added design & component complexity as well as interdependent technologies that become a node for potential break-down. With simpler designs and feature-sets comes increased reliability due to simpler design circuitry and less components.4) I *love* the 1 button design. Just a single button to operate. The 2 fan speeds which you can toggle with a simple press are perfect. I don't need anything more than low and high. I don't want nor need to choose from 8 different fan speeds. 1 for silent operation and 2 for quiet but high air-volume operation. Perfect.5) The extra features offered are (to my personality and use-case) fun gimmicks that are cool for the first few weeks, and then we all get back to our lives and don't even think about checking all the sensor read-outs. I just hit the button on the BP06 to set the fan speed and I walk away and get on with my life.6) While minimal in total cost savings, the $100 lower MSRP is a savings that is the cherry on top.I neither need nor want a remote that I may either lose or that attaches to the front and breaks up the clean esthetic. To be fair, while I think the "air direction" feature is cool, once again, it is another set of gears and motors that may become another node of breakdown. The less gears and motors, the less that can go wrong.I want these air cleaners (especially at these prices) to last me a decade or more. Knowing I have a simple, streamlined, high-quality design in the BP06, contributes to my confidence that this model might outlast their more feature-laden siblings as it lessens the opportunities for malfunctions.In the end, this beautifully-designed and spartan-featured option in the Dyson Big+Quiet lineup actually meets the needs of someone looking for a simple yet powerful air cleaner. While many, and even perhaps most, will disagree and opt for a fuller featured model in this lineup, there is an audience for simplicity. The BP06 is everything I want, and nothing I don't.

Comparison reviews of the Dyson are wrong. They don't compare how loud the small units are when they are at full volume, which is the only volume that will filter all of the air in the room in a reasonable time frame. When the Dyson is at full volume it is easy to live with for the shorter time it will take it to clean all of the air in a room. The small units are so loud and take so long to clean the air that you will probably never turn them all the way up for as long as it takes and you will never have clean air.

This is not remotely a “smart” product. No WiFi or Bluetooth. No remote. Just a low and high speed fan. No intelligent handling of, well — anything. I tried controlling it with a separate air quality sensor and wifi power outlet. But the air purifier defaults to off, even if it was turned on. So a brief power outage will result in it not running. The noise level on low is excellent. And the unboxing experience was simple. Overall, I really regret this purchase. I own the higher end BP03 as well with smart features and app integration etc. and I think the BP03 is worth the extra expense instead of this one.

So dusty and so many scratch’s on it. It’s 100% second hand. Packaging is a mess, the wire is stuck inside of the machine.

Works as intended. Came in undamaged.

I use it by the back door where family members go out to smoke. It helps!

Has had this Dyson air purifier for a couple of months now. Works great and feel quality fresh air at home. Great product.

I used this when moving into a old house, i tried using a regular air purifier and dehumidifier and ozone machine, my usual strategy for getting rid of damp and musty smells and allergins. I didn't know that a ozone machine can cause fermeldihyde off gasing in a home but it did and made sleeping there nearly impossible with how high the co2 levels went. This machine was like a window into a fresh breeze when dealing with this, it was a temporary solution to a bigger issue of poor air circulation in the house.
