Good purifier
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I've used it for about 3 weeks already, and had the Levoit smart purifier as well. I think this one does work better. I have bad seasonal allergies from pollen, and dust mites. I've noticed a huge difference in my allergies. This does help, but don't expect them to just go away for good. Set up is really easy simple. I have not cleaned the filters yet. Pretty quiet, and light does change colors when it notices dust, or perfumes, food, even sometimes farts lol. My kids walk up to it just to see if it will catch it. Great buy.

Great Air Purifier
|Posted .Owned for 11 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Amazing air purifier. It automatically senses when their is a foul odor or fumes in the air and it kicks into action— you’ll notice because the notifications light switches from blue to red. I’ve actually seen it start purifying after I’ve sprayed chemicals, so I feel assured that it’s working all the time. It is definitely a must-have for me, especially since I’ve spent so much time indoors due to the current pandemic.

You don't know until you smell it
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Filters, PriceI've always been a believer in Air Purifiers and finally got some for our place. We got one from Costco, and then we got a second one (this one). It wasn't until the Bobcat fire and few others were raging that our SoCal air quality was bad, that we could actually smell the difference in our home from the outside air. The Winix works amazing and the Auto feature is awesome to have, especially for the price (in comparison to the BlueAir 411, that I have in my work office). I feel that the actual Charcoal filter on this model works better than the carbon filter on the cheaper Winix models (we have the C535 in our bedroom), but that is my opinion. I highly recommend, this was my second unit purchased. Got one for my lil bro to use in my nieces bedroom, and got one for the Mother in Law also.

Great air purifier!!
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This model is the second Winix purifier in my house, after buying the 5300-2. The difference between this model and the 5300-2 is their carbon filters. This model has the washable carbon filter where the 5300-2 has 4 replacement ones. But both are interchangeable since the 5300-2 & 5500-2 are pretty much identical. This purifier is one of the best out there for this price point and happy I snagged it for a discount. Only gripe is that the remote that comes with this didn’t have a battery included. Other than that, I’m very satisfied and definitely recommend any air purifier coming from Winix.

superb air purification
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5excellent system; automatically lowers fan speed to essentially unnoticeable (unlike some others) in Automatic mode at night. And apparently no ozone or a tiny bit well under CARP standards; though I don't see data on that...it says none but the zapping may make a tiny bit. BlueAir did quite a lot, which is why I switched. I an extremely pleased with this unit.

Amazing Air Purifier!
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This air purifier is amazing. I did a lot of research and finally decided to purchase this unit. I was skeptical of the auto air purifier mode included with this unit. This thing actually works!! I have this unit sitting in my living room and everytime I start cooking dinner, this thing detects the change in air quality and changes from blue to orange and ups the power. After a few minutes of filtering our the cooking smells, the air is back to blue. The auto mode will also go into sleep mode overnight and turn back on auto in the morning which is great. The unit is very quiet even when selected on the highest setting. Do yourselves a favor and stop looking and buy this unit, you will not be disappointed! I am going to buy another one of these units and place it in my second living room.

Awesome air purifier!
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This air purifier runs so quiet, you don't even know it's running. We bought two of these, one for each bedroom and then another larger Winix purifier for the larger part of our condo and we couldn't be more happy with them. This coming winter in Utah with our horrible inversions will be the true test but I have faith in these bad boys. Will definitely buy a Winix products again!

Q: QuestionIs there an energy rating for this product? Would like to assess the approximate energy usage/cost per year.
Asked by Ian.
- A:Answer Yes, all of our products are Energy Star rated. This unit uses 70 watts at the highest possible setting. However, it does have an "auto" mode where it cleans with the most energy efficient fan speed based on the air quality of the room.
Answered by Winix Product Expert
Q: QuestionAre the filters reusable?
Asked by Kleo.
- A:Answer Yes, and no. The unit has a three stage filter. The first is a pre-filter. It is permanent, and you vacuum it every two weeks. Do that. You'll find you need to, as this is a very effective air filter. Next is a charcoal filter. In the 5200 model, you rinse it every 3 months; in the 5300 model, the charcoal filter comes as four pieces, replacing one every 3 months. Finally, the HEPA filter is meant to last a year, at which time you will need to buy a replacement for it, which comes with new charcoal filter(s).
