Review: Very impressive Air Purifier - We are very impressed so far with the Winix Air Purifier. It is very quiet and does a phenomenal job of removing pet odors and reducing pet dander. We are very surprised how well the auto feature works. It turns on and selects the appropriate fan settings. We have a dog with long hair and live in the Pacific Northwest. Now that the rains have come, he gets wet and the house starts to smell like wet dog. This air purifier really does a great job of neutralizing that odor.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this remove fart odor?**
A: That’s what the charcoal filter is for. The auto setting will also sense it and increase the fan speed (if not already set to higher). So long as the charcoal filter is in good condition it will definitely remove odors.

**Q: Difference between 5300-2 and 5500-2?**
A: My 5300-2 came with a remote however it turns my TV off and on too (Samsung) so I don't use it lol. Honestly the c535, 5500-2, and 5300-2 are damn near identical except for small difference. For this reason I would go with the one that offers the best price as they are all excellent!

**Q: What's washable? the carbon filter? the hepa filter? winix's description and site are completely lacking in details.**
A: The HEPA filters are not washable. For the carbon filter, you have to read the description for the model of Winix air purifier that you are going to buy. The first air purifier we bought was a 5300-2 and the carbon filters that came with it were NOT washable. Because we liked that one, we wanted another but got the 5500-2 and the carbon filters that came with that one ARE washable.

**Q: what does it mean by "plasmawave"?**
A: See "WINIX PlasmaWave Technology Hydroxyl video" on You Tube.  Also, OH is not O3.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keeps Wildfire Smoke Outside
*by W***3 on September 8, 2024*

We've had one heck of a fire season this year--and if you live in the Western United States, I can already see you nodding your head in agreement. That's probably why you're here reading this review. Thank goodness for air purifiers. Chances are you've already looked at tons of them. You might even be confused as to which one to choose. Hopefully I can help you out with that. In essence, all an air purifier has to do is filter the air and expel it in better shape than it inhaled it. Most units (including the Winix unit here) do this by pulling the air through a HEPA filter--and that certainly helps. If all you're looking to do is reduce dust, you can stop here. Pick a filter, any filter. You'll get the job done. But why stop with one layer of filtration when this unit offers you four? When the air enters your Winix, it will first encounter a cleanable dust screen. This screen is much like what you may have in front of your computer case fans. Large particles get stuck here rather than in your HEPA filter, meaning you won’t have to replace the HEPA as often. In fact, Winix recommends replacing the HEPA once a year; you may have noticed that other brands recommend changing filters every three months or so. That’s why, and it serves as Layer One. The next layer is a honeycomb filter which is filled with activated carbon. You see, HEPA filters alone won't eliminate odors. Just like how activated carbon will remove odors from fish tanks when used as part of the tank's filtration, it also removes odors from the air. Pet dander, wildfire smoke, a certain someone’s love of gassy foods… yeah, you’ll like this function. That’s Layer Two. Layer Three is the HEPA filter itself. Small particles you may not be able to see--but will still do a number on your eyes and sinuses--get stopped in their tracks here. Layer Four is a negative-ion filter that Winix calls “Plasmawave.” Without over complicating the science behind it, this feature will make it harder for viruses to spread and will cause smaller particles to sink where they can be collected easier. This feature can be turned off if you don’t see the need for such thoroughness or perhaps you’re skeptical of the process, but I strongly suggest leaving it on. When it’s time to change (or clean, in the case of your dust screen) your filters, getting to them is easy. The entire front panel is held on by magnets (better than plastic tabs which can break over time). The filters themselves are easy to find right here on Amazon, and they are reasonably priced. You’ll be switched over in minutes. Your biggest hassle just might be tearing your new filters out of its packaging. Now let’s talk about features. For the vast majority of the people, simply hitting the “auto” button will work. This unit has an air quality sensor, and it will automatically increase its fan speed when it senses that your air quality has declined. Once air quality improves, it’ll slow down its fans. It’s a set-and-forget type of thing. For those who are more hands-on, you can bypass the auto mode and choose your own fan speed. This is useful if you’re running this unit in a room that needs more “reach,” or if you find the white noise of the fans to be soothing. On maximum speed, the unit is still quiet enough to hold a conversation next to it—a box fan is far, far louder. The filtered air is pushed upward, where it can more easily circulate in the room without diluting the denser polluted air it has yet to filter. This helps the purifier do a more efficient job. The air quality monitor lets you know what your room’s air quality is by showing you one of three colors: Blue means your air quality is good; Amber means it’s… well… mediocre; Red means bad. Pretty easy stuff, and easy to see from across the room. The various functions and features are backlit, so even in a dark room you won’t have any trouble selecting what you want. For those who are bothered by the indicator lights, there’s a night-time mode which turns them off. The unit itself is well thought-out and constructed. It doesn’t draw attention to itself, and will blend with most any decor. There’s no remote control that you’ll never use, and the controls are so well laid-out you’ll very likely never need to go digging around for the manual. My brother-in-law owns this unit, and it was on his recommendation that we ordered ours. We liked our first one so much, we quickly bought a second unit to go in our daughter’s bedroom. The difference has been striking. Now we only have to deal with wildfire smoke when we venture outside. The dry eyes and sniffles have reduced dramatically. If that sounds like the kind of world you wish to create for yourself in your own home, why not place your order today?
