Dyson HushJet: Big Power, Small Space
Dyson just proved that a powerful air purifier does not have to be large or loud. The HushJet fits anywhere and cleans the air as if it were not even there.

The Trade-off Nobody Wanted to Accept
Air purifiers have always asked you to choose.
A powerful one takes up space and makes noise. A quiet, compact one barely
moves the air. For years, that trade-off was simply accepted as the nature of
the category. Bigger motor, more airflow, more noise. Smaller form factor, less
of everything. Dyson decided that was not a constraint to work around but a
problem worth solving from the ground up. The result is the HushJet Compact
Purifier, and the technology behind it changes the terms of that conversation
entirely.
How HushJet Technology Works
At the heart of the HushJet is a completely new
approach to airflow. Instead of simply pushing air through a filter and out
into the room, the HushJet projects a high-velocity jet that draws in
surrounding air as it moves, amplifying the total airflow beyond what the motor
alone produces. A concentrated nozzle then speeds that flow further and directs
it precisely into the room. The result is powerful purification from a machine
small enough to sit on a bedside table, running quietly enough to leave in a bedroom
overnight without noticing it is there.
What It Captures
The filtration inside the HushJet is built
around a 360-degree Electrostatic filter, a design that uses electrostatic
charge rather than dense material to trap particles. Because the charge pulls
particles toward the filter threads like a magnet, the filter itself can be
lighter and more porous, which means less resistance to airflow and lower
energy consumption. It captures 99.97 percent of particles as small as 0.3
microns, including dust, allergens, pet dander, and pollen. A separate 360-degree Activated Carbon filter handles gases and odours, capturing cooking smells,
pet odours, nitrogen dioxide from gas appliances, and other household
pollutants. The electrostatic filter is rated to last up to five years. An
infrared laser sensor continuously measures particles in the room, and Auto
mode adjusts the purifier's output in real time so it only uses energy when the
air actually needs cleaning.
