the beauty of this machine is the humidifier. i have lots of plants that mostly need around 70% humidity. the auto humidify function on top of synching this with you smart home is bar none. however, a bit over priced.
Bought this machine last year. I noticed a weird smell recently. Contacted Dyson by email. They were very responsive. After a few emails, they decided to send me a new one. Within less than a week, the new machine was delivered. Nothing is perfect, that’s why customer service and customer care are important. Dyson offers excellent customer service and customer care. Very satisfied. Definitely 5 stars.
Don't get me wrong, this device is awesome but wow is it expensive. I wish the fan was at least 50% more powerful and 50% quieter.
I work from home permanently (since March 2020) and was dissatisfied with every humidifier and fan I ever owned, but more importantly decided to prioritize air quality now that I'm home so often. I want to buy a 2nd unit for my living room area, but at this price point it's just too steep (since the fan is too weak at max speed). I could overlook the speed if price was way lower but it's not.
Would I buy it again? I'm not sure...maybe...probably.
Do I enjoy the fan? Yes, and it cleared up the dry skin on my arms within a day or two!
The humidifier addition is a great idea but not being able to turn the unit like the other models was not a good idea. Also, I notice a yeasty smell about a couple of weeks of use and it's not going away.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're happy to hear that you've found the humidification function of your PH04 to be so useful. The odor that you describe is likely coming from the machine's filter. This can be common if the machine receives any direct sunlight. You can move the machine to a different location in your home out of the sun, and see if that makes a difference for you. If you have any other questions/concerns, please get in touch with us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
