Christmas is a time for us to come together and enjoy the company of those that we cherish the most. It's a time for laughter, festive music and the smell of delicious home cooked meals. Lockdown has changed the way that we can celebrate and socialise, but as we look back and think of the time before the pandemic, we hope that this is the year that we can finally enjoy Christmas the way we used to.  And after all that we've been through, we deserve nothing less!  
 
Not only is the kitchen the heart of the home, it is also the place where the magic truly happens over Christmas! Preparing the Christmas meal shouldn't be stressful or noisy and it definitely shouldn't take you away from the party! 

These 11 Quiet Mark certified kitchen appliances allow us to start those catch-up conversations whilst we prepare the Christmas meal... and sing along to our favourite Christmas songs as we clear up. And to stay nice and cosy in the kitchen, we've included some Quiet Mark certified products that will take off the chill. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!

The Dyson Pure Hot + Cool is a multifunctional purifier that can be used to cool or heat a room using purified air. The product is designed to take in dirty air, clean it and then project clean air around the room.

With 10 fan speeds it can be used as a traditional fan would be to cool a room. It also features heater capabilities. Simply set the thermostat in the product to the desired temperature and the machine will automatically turn on and off to maintain the temperature.

It features a fully-sealed filter system that incorporates HEPA media and activated carbon to capture 99.97% of pollutants, particles, gases and odors as small as 0.3 microns.

Using Air Multiplier technology, the Dyson Pure Hot + Cool projects clean air to every corner of the room. By circulating the clean air into the room, the dirty air is pushed back toward the machine for purification.

The Dyson Pure Hot + Cool is connected via the Dyson Link App. Via the app you’re able to control the fan speed, turn the machine on and off and check your air quality levels (among other things).

A new LCD screen on the front of the machine shows you your air quality in real time. When a pollution event occurs (i.e., cooking, spraying hairspray, etc.) the purifier will show the spike in pollutants. In auto mode, the purifier will also automatically draw in more air and push out more clean air for faster purification to rid the room of the pollutants.

Backward airflow mode projects air through the back of the machine, while maintain effective purification, allowing you to use the product even when you don’t want the cooling/heating.
