Dyson Air Purifier versus Smell Away®

What to know about air purifiers

We’re the first to admit that everyone’s heard of Dyson, and there’s a reason for that. No shade to our competitors – they’re great designers and we love a Dyson vacuum cleaner as much as the next person.

But how does their air purification game measure up to that of our own meticulously crafted Smell Away® when it comes to banishing problem smells? Let’s pit the two against each other and find out which one reigns supreme. 👑

If you’re after great value and you’re primarily interested in getting rid of troublesome odours, Smell Away® pips Dyson to the post. 🤫

The lowdown on Dyson Air Purifiers

So, let’s start with good ol’ Dyson. Take a wander on the internet and you’ll soon discover that they offer a range of pretty swish air purifiers. Top boasts:

  • Equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor/Absorber filters – that’s HEPA filters to you and us. They’re capable of removing 99.95% of microscopic airborne particles and pollutants (think dust, allergens and bacteria 🦠).
  • Fancy features – some all-singing-all-dancing Dyson air purifiers also come with geeky features you quite simply didn’t know you needed, like real-time air quality monitoring, app integration and oscillation capabilities (whatever those are). 🤓

So far, so impressive. But what are they going to do about next door’s curry smells drifting in for the fifth night in a row, we hear you ask? Well, the fact is that not all models of Dyson air purifier are equally good at filtering out volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and bad smalls.

And, since bad smells are caused by molecules, not particles, even a HEPA filter won’t cut it when it comes to ridding a room of a pesky pong.

Finally, another important point: price. 💰 The cheapest Dyson air purifier currently available on their website is just shy of £350 – and that’s with £100 off. That rises to £929.99 for the top-of-the-range model. 😳

So, it’s fair to say that a Dyson air purifier purchase requires a pretty hefty budget for something that may not actually trap those wet dog odours or whatever it is that’s smelling bad.

And it’s all very well having clever cooling features, but if your living room is still stinking of madras hours after everyone’s gone to bed, we’d venture to say that that Dyson air purifier probably isn’t going to be worth the money.

The alternative: the Smell Away® specialist air purifier

The clue’s in the name: Smell Away® is a specialist air purifier designed specifically to work on horrid smells. 👃

Smell Away® will get rid of airborne particles (allergens, dust, bacteria, pollutants, etc etc) just like a Dyson air purifier will, so it’ll do just as well at creating a healthier home environment. The key difference is that on top of that, its active charcoal filter also works on smell molecules. And that, crucially, means it’s capable of getting rid of all sorts of rank odours, such as:

● Strong cooking smells (such as curries or fried foods) 🍛
● Cigarette and cannabis smoke 🚬
● Pet-related whiffs, like litter boxes and wet fur 💩
● Damp and mold smells 💦
● Rubbish smells 🗑️

…and so on. You get the idea.

And that’s not the only advantage the humble Smell Away® has over the mighty Dyson. Its charcoal filters last up to two years, meaning you won’t have the cost and hassle of replacing them as often as you will with Dyson (theirs need changing every six to twelve months).

Not only that, but Smell Away® is designed to minimise energy consumption, meaning it’ll add very little to your energy bills while being environmentally friendly. ♻️

Sure, Dyson takes some beating when it comes to features, but for superior smell-removal capabilities, long-lasting filters and energy efficiency, you can’t go wrong with Smell Away®. And the fact that it’s a lot kinder to the bank account is a pretty big added bonus. 😅

We’ll leave the last word to one of our customers, Rafiq from Rickmansworth, who wrote to us and told us that Smell Away® “removed a smell that my Dyson air purifier failed to remove.” You can’t get a better recommendation than that. ✅
