Building on the success of last year’s Pure Cool (AM11) bladeless fan with built-in air filtration system, Dyson has launched a new model that finally adds mobile app control to the mix.

The Dyson Pure Cool Link is essentially the same fan / air purifier as last year’s model. For those that need a refresher, the machine features a 360-degree glass HEPA filter that Dyson claims is capable of filtering out 99.97 percent of allergens and pollutants as tiny as 0.3 microns including pollen, bacteria, mold, auto emissions, odors, fumes and pet dander.

It can run continuously for up to six months before the filter loaded with activated carbon granules needs to be replaced.

That said, the new model wirelessly connects to the Dyson Link app for Android and iOS devices. With it, you’ll be able to not only control the Pure Cool Link but monitor the air quality both indoors and outside. Users can also use the app to set sleep timers, toggle night-time mode, adjust oscillation and more.

The machine also comes with a standard remote should you not want to pull out your phone to make quick adjustments.

The Dyson Pure Cool Link is available via Dyson’s website today for shoppers in the US, UK and Western Europe. It’s offered in your choice of blue or white and carries a rather steep price tag of $499.99 which includes free delivery and a two-year limited warranty. Look for it to arrive in Canada, China and South East Asia next month.

Looks like they dropped the price point by $100 and added some pretty impressive new features; still, to pay such a price is more than a little out of reach for the average person. If they ever get it down to $250 I'll start paying more attention!
 
Only 2 year warranty? Do they not trust their own products especially when they offer 5 years on the vacuums?
