Best Air Purifier out there!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best Air Purifier I have bought yet. I have purchased others and they didn’t do near as a good job as this Wintex. My son has severe allergies so it’s important that we have a good purifier running at all times. This minimizes his symptoms quite a bit. It’s easy to use, filters are easy to switch out and so easy to clean. It has a light that tells you the air quality in your room. Red means bad yellow/orange ok. Blue optimal. You can’t beat WintexAir Purifier!

Good purifier
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'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.

Air purifier
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best purchase from Best Buy all year long my air quality has increased severely since I set it up in my room now I’m able to sleep longer periods of time in a smoking household without being able to notice fumes outside of my room keeps my clothes fresh as well since I don’t have a sliding door for my closet. Even has hourly settings so it could automatically turn off when I’m not home and it comes with a remote.

You don't know until you smell it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'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 purifier!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I’ve been using this for 9 months nearing a year and I can safely say it’s great! I have a room 10x10 what a normal room might be like and I can tell it filters. I have no idea how people can tell when the air is lighter I can not but can surely say it does clean it. I do have carpet and fuzzy blankets and a lot of linty clothes and it sucks it all up. I do clean it monthly of course and for the most part I leave it on all day at night the blue light bar dims witch I find to be cool and absolutely not a bother it detects when it’s bright or dark you can also put it in sleeping mode witch puts it in low and turns the blue bar off. Otherwise it was a great purchase I like it the filters are on amazing prices differ so I can’t really say “X” amount cause it might change. Great air purifier no complaints and no regrets.

Great Air Purifier
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing 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.

Q: QuestionDoes this really only cover 33 square feet?
Asked by kevsnare.
- A:Answer Hello, the Winix 5500-2 is AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) approved for rooms 360 square feet.
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).
