A:AnswerVery unlikely. Odors are removed by activate charcoal filters. The odors might indicate dangerous gases in the air. If you are getting odors, you should get the burner checked for leaks and stop using it until any leaks are sealed.
A:AnswerHello, the Winix 5300-2 is available to purchase here: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Winix-PlasmaWave-4-Speed-360-sq-ft-True-HEPA-Air-Purifier-ENERGY-STAR/1002741922
A:AnswerHello, the Winix 5300-2 is perfect to improve the indoor air quality, dusts and odors. The fine mesh pre-filter will capture large hair and dander, the carbon filter will combat odors and VOCs in the room and the true HEPA filter will capture 99.97% of all allergens and particles as small as 0.3 microns!
A:AnswerHello, the main difference between the two products is the carbon filter. The 5300-2 comes with carbon filter sheets where you change every 3 months (you receive 4 when you purchase the unit). The 5500-2 has a washable carbon filter that Winix recommends washing every 3 months!
A:AnswerQuite on Low setting and actually somewhat quiet even on High. The 4 speed fan doesn’t move air like an annoying hum of a box fan, it’s not loud like a hair dryer on High. On the 2nd speed setting, it’s as quiet as a quality bath fan, maybe 1.5 sone or so. Doesn’t keep me awake at night on Low or interfere with hearing tv on High.
They should rate these fans and any fan for that matter, like they do for bath fan noise.
A:AnswerHello, the Winix 5300-2 is Energy Star Certified and EXTREMELY energy efficient. The unit uses 70Watt at its highest fan speed! We recommend leaving the unit on 24/7 as the smart sensors will move the fan speeds up and down as needed!
