A couple of months ago, I reviewed Dyson’s Pure Cool fan and air purifier combination, which I quite liked and seemed to help manage my dog’s allegies. Now that winter has a come, Dyson is updating its family with something more fit to the season: The company is today introducing the Pure Hot+Cool, a follow up on its original Pure Hot+Cool Link.
