Dyson is a respectable brand and has been around for a long time now. They are known for their premium and expensive home appliances like their vacuum cleaners and air purifier fans. They use state-of-the-art technology to power their devices, which usually feature very unique designs.
The Dyson TP04 is only one of their impressive creations. It is one of the models of the brand’s Pure Cool Tower Series (TP Series)–a lineup of compact air purifiers designed to cover large spaces. It is a 2-in-1 machine that’s capable of cooling and purifying. It is equipped with a high grade air filtration system that uses 360 Glass HEPA filter and Active Carbon filter and uses Dyson’s very own Air Multiplier technology.
If you are looking for a fan and an air purifier at the same time, the TP04 might be the right device for you. Read on as we discuss its features, qualities, and specifications.

Design and Dimensions
Dyson has a certain look, clean and modern and it is certainly the case for the TP04. The TP04 is designed for large spaces, standing at 41.49 inches and weighs 10.98 lbs. It is a tower fan with a narrow, oblong-shaped amplifier that is free from large fast-spinning blades. It is also free from protective grills making the device sleek and very modern.
The TP04 also has a sturdy pedestal that houses nine asymmetrically-aligned blades and a brushless electric motor. It also has an LED display that reports real time air quality report.
Air Multiplier Technology
Dyson’s Air Multiplier technology powers most, if not all, of their fans. It is a technology that delivers 77 gallons per second of powerful airflow smoothly by using nine asymmetrically-aligned blades and a brushless electric motor hidden on the device’s pedestal. This patented technology from Dyson allows the TP04 to effectively project and circulate purified air across the room.
Performance and Safety
Because of its bladeless design, the TP04 is one of the safest fans in the market. It does not have exposed fast-spinning blades that can cause injuries since its blades are hidden on its base. It is also extra safe for kids and pets because it has a Child Safe feature that automatically shuts the device off when accidentally knocked over to avoid further damage to the device and to prevent further accidents from happening.
Aside from its safety features, the TP04 is very impressive. It uses the Air Multiplier technology to draw air smoothly and circulate it across the room evenly. It is also equipped with high grade air filters, Glass HEPA Media and Active Carbon that removes 99.97% of microscopic particles, 0.3 microns in size, like dust, pollen, molds, allergens, pet danders, and other air pollutants like formaldehyde that can be harmful when inhaled. It also absorbs bad odors, gases, toxins, fumes, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound). After the TP04 senses the air quality it automatically reacts and sends you reports on the display and on your mobile phones.
As a fan, the TP04 has 10 air flow settings that you can adjust depending on your liking. It can also oscillate up to 350 degrees, circulating and distributing air efficiently across the room. It also supports WiFi connectivity. The TP04 is also certified asthma and allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. And like most Dyson fans and air purifiers, it also received the Quiet Mark accreditation which means the device is very quiet. The TP04 is also an energy saver despite being a powerful machine.
Modes and Control
The TP04 has a lot of mode options which makes your life easier since you don’t have to manually adjust the setting of your device. It has an Auto mode that automatically adjusts the airflow, checks the quality of air, and turns the device on or off; Night mode that dims the display and uses the quietest setting; Jet Focus mode for a focused air stream; Diffused mode for wider air distribution; and Backward Airflow mode, a mode where you can turn off the cooling feature without turning off the air purifier feature.
When it comes to control options, the TP04 maintains its clean and sleek look. It does not have any control buttons on the device itself but it comes with a curved and magnetized remote control that has a power button, air speed settings, oscillation control, and mode options. The remote lets you adjust the settings of the TP04 even without physically reaching for it. The TP04 can also be linked to the Dyson Link App. The app, which can be downloaded to your mobile phones from the App Store and Google Play Store, acts as a remote control and sends you real time air quality reports. The Dyson TP04 also recognizes voice commands via Amazon Alexa.

Alternatives
While the TP04 is a great machine, it may not be for everyone, especially those who are on a tight budget because the TP04 is an expensive device. If you are trying to find an alternative for the TP04, here are some of the items that you should check out.
Dyson Pure Cool DP04
The DP04 is another powerful 2-in-1, air purifier and fan, device from Dyson. It uses the same Air Multiplier technology that the TP04 uses. Like the TP04, it doesn’t have any exposed spinning blades, but unlike the TP04, the amplifier of the DP04 is smaller, more compact, and round. The DP04 is fitted with a high-quality filter, 360 Glass HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of pollutants. And like the TP04 it also shows air quality reports on its display. The Dyson DP04 is a powerful machine that’s more affordable than the TP04.
Levoit Air Purifier
The Levoit Air Purifier is a very cheap air purifier, especially when compared to the TP04. It is a great alternative when you are looking for a cheaper and effective purifier. It is not a multifunctional device unlike the TP04 but it is equipped with high-quality filters and uses the Vortexair Technology.
Blueair Blue Pure 411+ Air Purifier
This air purifier is cheaper than the TP04 but it is equipped with a combination high-quality filter: HEPA filter and Active Carbon filters. It is also a quiet device and has received the Quiet Mark seal just like the TP04. Blueair Blue Pure 411+ is powered by the unique HEPASilent filtration technology which is equal to True HEPA.

Q. Can I separate the fan from the air purifier?

Verdict
There’s no denying that the TP04 is an impressive machine equipped with high-quality air filters making it an ideal device for people suffering from asthma and allergies, light smokers, and pet owners. It filters 99.97% of air pollutants, as small as 0.3 microns, and absorbs bad odors, gases, and fumes too which is why it is certified asthma and allergy friendly. It is also powered by Dyson’s patented Air Multiplier technology.
The design of the TP04 is also ideal for homes with kids and or pets because it does not have exposed fast-spinning blades and in addition to that, it also does not have awkward grills which means it is easier to clean and maintain compared to bulky traditional fans. The design of its remote control is also unique as well. You can magnetically attach the remote on top of the TP04 to avoid misplacing it. The TP04 also supports WiFi connectivity which allows you to connect the air purifier to the Dyson Link App and Amazon Alexa.
The TP04 is a great machine to have especially if you are planning on getting a fan and an air purifier separately because you will be getting an air purifier and fan in one device. It is totally a space saver plus it does not have a bulky design. The only downside that I can see with the TP04 is that it is expensive but overall, I think the Dyson TP04 is worth it since you will be getting your money’s worth.
