Dyson is a very topical brand on social networks, some people praise Dyson as the "Apple of home appliances", leading the development of the future high-end small household appliances industry, and some pragmatists point out that although Dyson's products are outstanding, they do not match the price. Regardless of the controversy, Dyson does make "black technology" level innovations in ordinary products, such as bladeless fans, hair dryers and a series of home appliances that take into account both characteristics and practicality, and the same is true for humidifiers.
The AM10 is Dyson's only humidifier currently on sale, and it is derived from the mysterious bladeless fan as the basis, which is naturally unique in the humidifier market. The aura brought by the exterior styling to Dyson is indeed extremely powerful, its iconic airflow ring is quite eye-catching, without giving itself a chance to be low-key, it seems to be empty and nothing, but the moment it is connected to the power supply, it is no wonder that this humidifier has captured many fans at once. However, it is worth reminding that although AM10 is exquisitely shaped, the overall plastic sense of the physical object is still strong, considering the price of nearly 4000 yuan, the plastic process will obviously bring a large sensory gap to consumers.
The humidifier itself is an out-and-out "small household appliance", its humidification principle and structure are relatively simple, and whether the humidification effect is uniform has become an important indicator to distinguish the product from high and low. The maximum humidification capacity of AM10 can reach 280ml/h, which is at the middle and upper level in the industry, although it adopts the ultrasonic humidification principle commonly used in low-end products, it inherits the unique airflow multiplication technology of Dyson bladeless fans, which can blow moist air evenly and quickly into the room, so that the humidity changes in all corners of the room are synchronized and more consistent, and AM10 can also be used as a pure fan when humidification is not required. Unfortunately, AM10 does not support the shaking head function, it can only blow in one direction, it will have a wet and cold feeling after a long time, it is recommended to manually adjust the wind direction when using, and do not face people.
Ultraviolet sterilization technology is a major selling point of Dyson AM10, although many humidifiers on the market advertise that they have a "certain" sterilization function, but there are few that can really play a sterilizing role. After turning on the machine, AM10 will not operate immediately, the built-in UV ultraviolet germicidal lamp will irradiate and sterilize the water in the water tank for 3 minutes, and the official claim that the sterilization rate can reach 99.9%, in the domestic bacterial petri dish evaluation, AM10 The humidified water source after ultraviolet sterilization produces the least number of bacteria, indicating that it does have a good effect on sterilization, but it still needs to be reminded that the best way to reduce bacterial breeding is to change the water and clean it frequently in daily use.
Although Dyson has always had a reputation for user-friendly details, the AM10's water addition method obviously does not inherit this. AM10 water addition method is quite troublesome, first need to remove the air flow ring, and then take out the water tank, and then flip it over, unscrew the water cover to add water, compared to the convenient water design adopted by Boruike and other models of products, such a complex water addition method is not satisfactory, plus its water tank is only 3L, which means that in the northern heating season, you may have to add water 2 times a day.
However, the AM10 still has something to praise in terms of detail features. AM10 is one of the few humidifiers in the industry equipped with a remote control, which can more easily adjust and set the air volume, humidity, intelligent constant humidity, automatic mode, etc., the remote control can also be magnetically attached to the top of the airflow ring, providing a practical solution to the problem that the remote control is easy to lose, AM10 also has a built-in digital display, consumers can grasp the indoor air humidity in time.
It should be reminded that AM10 belongs to the ultrasonic humidifier, compared with the evaporative humidifier, the use process does not require consumables, but the water quality requirements are higher, and the direct use of tap water is easy to produce the "white powder" phenomenon, and affect the service life of the machine, this is not a product quality problem, but the commonality of all ultrasonic humidifiers. In addition, the AM10's ultra-small water connection means that once limescale has accumulated inside, it can be quite troublesome to clean, so it is highly recommended that consumers use purified water as a humidification source when using it.
