Is AI tracking enough of a draw to justify the price tag of the Find+Follow Purifier Cool? Ive put it to the test to find out.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool review The Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool PC3 is the latest tower fan from the British brand, and it offers up not only excellent cooling with owl-like oscillation, but also air purification.

That makes the Find+Follow Purifier Cool particularly helpful for those with asthma or allergies when they don't want dust, pollen and other particulars floating round their home. But the party trick here is in the Find+Follow name, and its what sets it apart from its predecessor, the Purifier Cool PC1, while also kicking the Purifier Cool Formaldehyde TP09 to the curb.

This particular cooling and air purifying fan features a small camera that
can identify people in its field of view, and then follow them round a room, ensuring the breeze is always directed where its needed.

Its a good looking fan, but all this comes at a steep cost $849.99 / 549.99 to be exact. With many of the best fans coming in at a lower price point, Dyson has its work cut out to justify the premium cost of its latest
offering.

Things get off to a positive start with the fan arriving in suitably protective packaging thats almost all cardboard the main piece of plastic is a large bag over the fan itself. Its easy to unpack, and setup via the free
My Dyson app is straightforward.

Youll need both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled on your phone, allowing you to
get the fan connected to your device, as well as your home network. I liked the Getting started video in the How To section of the app: its just under
two minutes long and walks you through the core functions of the fan. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

Controls in the app are nicely laid out, with easy access to on/off, fan speed, and oscillation. Theres also auto and night modes, a timer setting to turn off the fan after a set duration, and the ability to switch from fan to diffuser mode, if you want to purify the air in your home without the main
fan being active.

Shifting focus back to the fan itself, it stands tall with its large, oval bladeless design sitting atop a gold pedestal that hides the air purifying tech and HEPA H13-grade and K-Carbon filters. Dyson claims the filter
captures 99.95% of particles such as viruses and bacteria, as well as pollen, pet dander and mould spores.

It not only cleans the air, but the K-carbon filter can remove smells and gases, handy if youve been over-enthusiastic in the kitchen and want to get rid of that burning smell. I found it did a pretty good job of getting rid of the burnt toast smell in the morning quicker than leaving it to dissipate on its own. (Image credit: Future) Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool at Dyson UK for 549.99 Theres a power button just above the circular display on the base of the fan, but Dyson doesnt provide any further controls on the device itself. Instead you need to use the remote, which magnetically clings to the top of the fan for simple storage, or the app to adjust settings.

You can also link the PC3 to your smart home, allowing you to use Google s Gemini or Amazon s Alexa voice assistants to control the fan. Linking it to
my smart home setup also allowed me to control the Find+Follow Purifier Cool from the Google Home app as well as the My Dyson app.

The display on the fan is subtle, and from a distance it can be difficult to read due to its small size, but you can get all the info displayed here in
the My Dyson app.

You can adjust the information the display shows by clicking the i button on the remote, allowing you to cycle through visuals for various data including; indoor air quality, indoor humidity, indoor temperature, and remaining filter life. Its useful stuff, but its better viewed in the app. Image 1 of 8 (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) I was particularly impressed with the range of oscillation on offer, with the ability to rotate 45, 90, 180, and 350
degrees. Pop the Find+Follow Purifier Cool in the middle of a room and itll reach almost every area.

This was particularly useful when it came to placing the fan in a bigger
room, as the huge angle of coverage provides far more flexibility. In my large, open-plan living space I could position it towards the center and have it reach most areas although there was one small shortcoming: the length of the power cord.

At 1.8m its similar to many other rival fans, but as there are 350 degrees of movement, this is a fan you might be more inclined to position further away from a wall outlet to get maximum benefit. I was able to plug it into my kitchen island, allowing it to stand well away from a wall, without the cord or an extension cable draped across the floor but your homes setup will be different, so its worth considering where youll be plugging it in.

Once on, Dysons clever bladeless design delivers smooth air flow that feels like a natural breeze moving through your home, rather than the harsh buffeting you get from some other propeller and tower fans. (Image credit: Future) Coupled with its quiet operation especially at lower fan speeds you might find yourself forgetting its even on. My partner questioned whether Id left the back door open as she felt a breeze, but it was simply the Dysons caress of the air is so gentle that it didn't feel artificially generated.

In our open-plan living space, I needed a fan speed between eight and 10 to really feel the effect during the warm weather, when sitting around four to five meters from the fan. In my small office (16m 2 ), a fan speed of three was enough to keep me feeling cooler, with the Find+Follow Purifier Cool positioned a couple of meters away.

At its highest speed setting of 10, the Find+Follow Purifier Cool was still relatively quiet at 40-60dB, allowing you to comfortably have a conversation without the need to shout over the noise. Halving the speed sees the sound generated dropped to 20dB (similar to a mosquito), while at its lowest speed
I got a reading of around 15dB, just slightly louder than normal breathing (10dB). If youre looking for a quiet fan, the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool is a strong contender, but the Duux Whisper Flex 2 has it beat, just.

The quiet operation meant I was able to keep the fan on overnight in our bedroom, with the low level hum not loud enough to disturb my sleep. My partner is a lighter sleeper, and after an initial adjustment, they were able to sleep with it on as well. (Image credit: Future) And then theres the Dyson's Find+Follow party-trick. Enable this mode by pressing the button on the remote or in the app, and the fan will scan the room looking for people. Once its detected a person, itll direct air flow towards them. Get up and
move around the room, and the purifying fan will oscillate to maintain air flow in your direction. It doesnt rotate particularly quickly, but itll keep moving until it picks you up again.

If you leave the room briefly, the Find+Follow Purifier Cool will wait patiently in a dormant state for your return. The fan will continue, but movement will only resume when you re-enter the room and it picks you back
up.

When theres clear sightlines in an uncluttered room, the Find+Follow AI does
a reasonably good job of tracking movement, delicately rotating as you move about. However, I found if I passed too closely and too quickly, it wouldnt always continue tracking me, even though I was still within its range of movement. This feature works best in large, open-plan spaces where you dont need to pass too closely to the fan itself. In smaller rooms, the AI tracking can struggle a little more.

In cases where you leave the room for more than an hour, the system will switch to Auto mode, where the fans sensors will adjust the settings to reach the target air quality for the room. (Image credit: Future) For those concerned about the privacy implications of this technology, Dyson says the: AI vision system never identifies anyone and only detects presence. Images
are processed instantly within the machine, deleted and never leave the device. And you can turn off the follow mode at any point using the remote, app, or smart home voice assistant.

When it comes to maintenance, Dysons bladeless design makes things super simple, with the wipe of a damp, lint-free cloth all thats required. You do need to keep an eye on the air intake holes on the base though, as I found
pet hair from my two cats would build up over the course of a few days. Dyson suggests using a soft brush to remove this debris.

The Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool is a highly accomplished purifying fan with useful modes, impressive features, and a fun if slightly creepy follow mode that a subset of users will find beneficial. Though I wouldnt say the addition of this tracking camera does enough to fully justify Dysons asking price.

Ive no problem saying that if you have the money, and are looking for a true flagship purifying fan, the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool absolutely delivers. Its supremely easy to set up and use, while the performance matches other high-end multi-purpose rivals. But if youre bulking at the list price, there are plenty of reasonably priced fans and Dyson purifying fans without Find+Follow that provide similar levels of performance for less. (Image credit: Future) Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool review: Price & release date Premium price tag of $849.99 / 549.99 Costs considerably more than its
closest rivals Available in the UK and US from June 2026; not on sale in Australia The Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool has been on sale since May 2026 in the UK, and went on sale in early June 2026 in the US but it's unfortunately not currently available in Australia. You can buy it via Dyson directly and a number of major third-party retailers.

The Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool costs $849.99 / 549.99, making it one of the more expensive fan and purifier combos on the market. Its not Dysons most premium purifier (thats the Dyson Purifier Big+Quiet Formaldehyde), but it is the firms most expensive fan, nudging out the $499.99 / 399.99 Hot + Cool
HF1.

While the Find+Follow comes with its eponymous following camera tech, that
has added $300 / 100 to the retail price of the Purifier Cool PC1 it
replaces. The PC1 is still available though and is generally discounted too, if you want similar cooling and purifying results without the person-tracking tech.

If youre not fussed about the heating or air purifying features, Dysons cheapest comparable fan is the Cool AM07 tower at $399.99 / 349.99, although this older model is sometimes discounted. (Image credit: Future) Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool review: Specs Swipe to scroll horizontally

Features

Features galore, and they actually work. If youre after a do-it-all fan and air purifier, this Dyson has you covered - plus it has a fun party trick in Find+Follow.

5/5

Performance

Excellent air flow thanks to clever bladeless design, and impressive horizontal oscillation. Shame theres no vertical oscillation adjustment. though.

4.5/5

Design

Sleek, premium and well made, with a small footprint. You need to like white and gold, as there are no other color options. The My Dyson app is also an accomplished offering.

4.5/5

Value

Considerably more than pretty much any direct competitor. You get a supremely premium package, but its difficult to justify such a significant price jump versus rivals.

3/5 Buy it if You want the ultimate do-it-all fan and air purifier combo Theres no doubting the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool is a highly accomplished offering, with plenty of useful features and excellent performance. The remote and app work nicely, while quiet operation and smooth air delivery means you almost forget its even on. You want a fan that reaches almost anywhere I loved the 350-degree oscillation of the Find+Follow
Purifier Cool, as it allowed me to place it in the middle of my open-plan living space and have it gently blow air to almost every corner, hitting
folks in the kitchen, dining area, and on the couch. You care about your
homes air quality With its HEPA H13 and K Carbon filters, the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool cleans up the air in your home, removing 99.95% of particles including viruses, bacteria, pollen, pet dander and mould spores, while also neutralizing odors. Plus, you get a detailed air quality report in the My Dyson app. Dont buy it if Youre looking for the best bang for your
buck The Find+Follow Purifier Cool is considerably more expensive than its rivals, so if youre after the best feature-to-price ratio, there are reasonably priced fans that deliver impressive performance. You dont like the idea of being tracked by your fan Find+Follow mode is easily turned off, but theres no physical cover for the camera hardware. It shouldnt track your
life, but I understand if youre not comfortable allowing a camera of this nature in your home. Dyson still sells the Purifier Cool PC1, which is almost identical to the PC3 on review here, just without the Find+Follow feature.
You arent fussed about air purification Part of the cost here is Dysons air purification tech, and if this isnt a feature youre interested in you can
pick up fans for much less without it. Dyson still sells its Cool AM07 that has the same design as the PC3, without the purification feature. Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool review: Also consider Shark TurboBlade Shark has
its own innovative, premium fan design, and the TurboBlade is unlike any fan youve seen before. The horizontal bar featuring two fan blades provides unmatched directional control making it the best fan for coverage, and is a vital sleep companion during hot, sticky nights. It doesnt purify your air, but at less than half the price of the Dyson, its a high-end fan worth considering. Read our full Shark TurboBlade review . Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 If you can live without the Find+Follow feature of the PC3, but still want premium cooling and air purifying, Dysons own PC1 purifying fan fits the
bill. It has the same design, similar performance, a more neutral colorway (white with a silver base), app connectivity and is $400 / 200 cheaper at
time of writing. (Image credit: Future) How I tested the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool Used the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool for a week Used it in the bedroom, office and main living space Tested various modes, including Find+Follow and Sleep I used the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool at home in the UK during a week of very warm May weather (28-31C / 82-88F). I set it up in my open-plan living space, master bedroom, and small home office, to experience how effective it was in different locations.

I tested the range of modes the fan has to offer, including auto, sleep, and Find+Follow. I operated it with the remote, via the My Dyson and Google Home apps, and I even asked Gemini via the smart speakers in my home to adjust fan speed and turn the unit on and off.
