Is a Dyson Air Purifier Worth It? UK Guide (2026)

Q: Do air purifier filters need replacing?

Yes, usually every 6 to 12 months. Check the replacement cost before buying, as it varies a lot.

Dyson sells air purifiers that also heat or cool. They cost three to five times as much as the best-known alternatives.

We compared them on Amazon UK, using price, rating and number of reviews. We haven't tested them ourselves. This comparison is based on the Amazon listings and customer ratings, so check the latest price and details before you buy.

Our take: for cleaning the air alone, the ratings give no reason to pay Dyson prices, and the Dyson review counts are small. If you want a heater or fan in one unit, that is the case for a Dyson. Filters need replacing on every purifier, so compare the cost of those too.

Short answer: Only if you also want a heater or fan. The Dyson purifiers here cost around £320 to £450 and are rated 3.6 to 4.4 from under 90 reviews each, while Levoit and Philips models at £80 to £220 are rated 4.5 to 4.6. Prices and ratings are from Amazon UK, checked when our catalogue was last updated. Prices change, so check the latest on Amazon.
