Clean-air delivery

A well-built CR box typically moves more air per hour than a comparable Dyson, clearing a room faster.

Filters and cost

Dyson uses proprietary sealed filters (pricey); the CR box uses standard MERV-13 at ~£40/yr. Over years, the gap is large.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Corsi-Rosenthal box beat a Dyson?

On clean-air delivery per pound and filter cost, yes — a £60 box typically clears a room faster and far cheaper. Dyson wins on styling, quiet and multi-function features.

Why are Dyson filters expensive?

They're proprietary sealed cartridges only Dyson sells. A CR box uses standard MERV-13 at around £40 a year.

What if I want Dyson's quiet without the price?

An engineered high-airflow MERV-13 kit runs under 35 dB with cheap standard filters — CR-box performance, tidy and quiet.
