After first announcing it back in September last year, Dyson has this week launched its HushJet purifier in Australia. I think I want one.
The Dyson HushJet Purifier is a notable departure from the brand’s signature loop-style "Air Multiplier" fans.
Instead, it uses a sculptural nozzle inspired by jet engine aerodynamics to move high-velocity air while keeping noise to a minimum.
It's designed to be small enough for a bedside table or desk but powerful enough to clean the air in rooms up to 100 m².
We usually expect to change air filters every year, but Dyson claims the HEPA filter in the HushJet can last up to five years. This long-life electrostatic filter captures 99.97% of tiny particles like pollen and dust, while a separate carbon filter handles household odours and gases like nitrogen dioxide.
The machine operates at just 24dB in Sleep mode, which is essentially a soft whisper. Even at full tilt, it is designed to suppress the turbulent "buffeting" noise common in smaller fans.
James Dyson said, "We have developed a way to smooth high speed airflow to minimise turbulence and reduce aerodynamic noise, allowing the Dyson Hushjet to deliver very high-volume airflow while generating minimal noise."
On the smart side, the unit includes sensors that track air quality in real-time, displaying data on the machine or via the MyDyson app. It can automatically ramp up its speed when it detects pollutants and is fully sealed to ensure captured dust doesn't leak back into your room.
Pricing and availability
The Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact is available now in Australia for $549 RRP.
