Dyson Pure Hot + Cool Link Air Purifier

Dyson Pure Hot + Cool Link Air Purifier

The Dyson Pure Hot + Cool link air purifier arrived in a very informative box which was well packaged. Included in the box with the unit were simple instructions and a booklet containing the warranty which you had to register. This gives you peace of mind of having a 2 year warranty on parts AND labour which is an added bonus as labour after one year normally costs.

The purpose of this unit is to give you the ability to purify the air while it either heats or cools the room, whichever mode you prefer. It does this via a hepa filter in the base which apparently removes 99.95% of particles in the air. The hepa filter looks very much like the ones in the Dyson vacuums only bigger and this can be replaced very simply. I did try this but obviously mine does not need replacing yet as I have only had it a few days and it apparently should last approximately one year if run every day for 12 hours constant.

One of the other features you get with this model is that it collaborates with your smart phone via an app downloaded from either the Apple App store or Google play.   I downloaded the app quite simply within seconds off the Apple store.  This was also where I registered my 2 year warranty simply by inputting a few numbers off the booklet that came with it.  The app also acts as a remote control and enables you to adjust your settings, see how clean the machine thinks your air is, and see how the air purity has changed over time. There are 2 very discreet sensors in the back. These check the air for dust and other compounds and sends this information to the app which then adjusts to purify the air.

If you prefer you can use the remote control that comes with the unit. This magnetically sits on the top, which for my family is an absolute genius idea as we are forever losing remote controls. From the remote control you can adjust the modes, set whether you want the unit to oscillate, set it to automatic mode or even night time mode. Again, I found the remote control very easy to use and pretty much self-explanatory from the pictures on the buttons, for example a moon symbol is night time mode, red circle is heat mode and a blue circle is cold.

Overall, I have to say that I am very impressed with The Dyson Pure Hot + Cool link. I love the design with its contemporary look and the fact that it has no blades, yet it’s a fan. It can cool a room in minutes. I can honestly say, it has been tested well these last few days as we have had temperatures of 32 degrees. I know these temperatures are rare in the UK but having this unit has felt like I have air conditioning installed rather than a fan and my room is 28 foot by 13 foot so a large room. My room feels so much cooler and I have the fan set on the wide angled oscillation rather than pointing directly at us, this then actually feels like a light cool breeze from a window open rather than catching your breath with a fan in your face.  I like the fact that it can immediately become a heater but has no exposed heating elements that can cause danger to anybody. I tried the heating setting and trust me, this will warm your room instantly.  What more can I say except “I love it!”. Thank you Dyson for another amazing product!

There are currently a lot of blenders on the market at the moment, so knowing which one is the right one for you and your family is a big decision.

The JR Ultra X-1000 Nutri Blender by Juicy Retreats seemed a good choice considering I have a house full of dieters, bodybuilders and healthy living people constantly wanting fresh fruit smoothies and protein shakes.  The 1000 watt motor should be capable of such a big task. Trust me, being a mum of a large family is hard work when it comes to feeding them.

On opening the box, everything was packaged well. Included in the box was the main  blender base, 2 cups, one 1 litre and one 0.5 litre, one cup base with a cross blade and another with a flat blade You also get 2 covers for the cups and a drinking mouth cover with a separate cap for taking your drink out when you are on the move. Also, a booklet with clear simple instructions written in English on how to set up and use your Nutri Blender.

I love the fact that it has a touch button control panel. This has to be one of the easiest blenders to use on the market. You just put the food in the blender cup (making sure not to go over the max line on the cup) and rotate the base on the blender cup clockwise tightly.  Then, simply, rotate the blender cup onto the base clockwise tightly. Plug it in and the red LED light will flash letting you know that the blender is on standby. It has the benefit of having 2 different speed settings and also a pulse function which is going to be perfect for crushing ice.  When pressing one of these buttons the blue light above the red light will flash. The pulse button will operate the blender on high speed instantly but will stop after 2 seconds and go back to standby. This can be repeated again and again until you get the consistency of whatever it is you are making.  We have been making fresh fruit smoothies daily and my sons have been mixing their protein shakes in this because of the speed and convenience of leaving it in the cup. Soups have become a doddle and eating healthily has now become a lot easier.

The smaller cup is the Grinding Cup and is placed on the blender base in the same way as the larger cup. This is for dry ingredients such as coffee, pulses, beans, spices, basically any dry ingredients, just no more than 120g.  Perfect for making sauces!  I made my own Pesto with this and it tasted amazing!  We also drink a lot of almond milk so making our own by soaking almonds overnight and then putting them in the blender with a cup of water has been brilliant. Trust me, investing in this machine is a must if you love peanut butter because making your own will become part of your life, it’s just so simple and perfect for a high protein diet too!.

As far as cleaning it, it is simple, the cups and blades can be cleaned in a dishwasher but obviously not the blender base which contains the motor.

Overall, I would award it 5 stars.  I have to say that the JR Ultra X-1000 in my opinion is an essential appliance for the kitchen. Don’t just look at it as a smoothie maker as it is capable of much more and is worth every penny!
