Review: Really nice - This has been a surprise. Really good air purifier. I have owned Rabbit Air units at many times the cost of this unit, and aside from the number of filters you can put in it, this one is just as quiet and does a great job. In fact, I like this one better as it is less expensive to keep up with filters being reasonable. Very impressed.
Review: Best Investment We Made! - If you are here, I’d be willing to take a bet that you did your research and saw this air purifier recommended across the internet. I’m here to say, the research you did led you to the right place. TL;DR: Amazing, cut down on airborne pet hair, but a bit loud (when running on high) and may need multiple for a living area. Great value for your money. 5/5 ⭐️ UPSIDES: This air purifier is simply amazing. Me and my wife purchased this due to our two dogs (Husky mix and a Shiba Inu) constantly shedding to the point you could visibly see hair floating through the air. While running one of these in our living room (which exceeds the 360 sq. ft. rating of the purifier) is not the end-all solution to the shedding, it has drastically increased the air quality, and after just 8 hours of running, it decreased amount of hair floating around. I had my doubts as air purifiers don’t particularly work to eliminate pet hair, but this puts in the work to bring it back to a manageable amount. We have identified “hot spots” of where the dog hair tends to conglomerate due to fans and the A/C, and decided to place it in one of those areas. Within a half hour, the air quality was NOTICEABLY cleaner and easier to breathe. Me and my wife would walk in the area of the fan, then go to another room and physically feel the difference in air quality. Around the 8 hour mark I opened the front face and removed a significant amount of pet hair that had been built up on the mesh screen. If you plan on using these to cut down on pet hair, I personally believe it would be beneficial to identify those areas where the hair tends to build up to position your air purifiers. I’m not saying that this has eliminated or even cut down on the amount we have to vacuum and sweep, but it has helped with the floating dust and hair that accumulates in the air. DOWNSIDES: Noise. (Potentially) So if you’re expecting this to be super quiet and unnoticeable, I’m sorry to say this may not be it if you’re running this on turbo. If you only need to run this on a low to high settings to help remove small amounts of particulates from the air, it will be quiet. However, for our pet hair removal needs, we keep it on Turbo, leaving it sound a little louder than any average fan you get from the store. If you are okay with a bit of white noise running in the background, you will be fine. The noise is much quieter (borderline non-existent) when running on sleep mode to high fan, which could be enough based on your needs, but is not enough for us. Rated Area. (Potentially) This fan is rated for a room 360 sq. ft. While that is large enough for most bedrooms, it may not be enough to satisfy a living area, especially if your house is open concept. I would recommend considering investing in two fans for a larger room (but keep in mind how loud the fan is). If you think you need multiple for a single room, consider investing in one to start so you can hear how loud it is, if you like it and want another for a second room and a second for the same room, only get one more and see how well you can manage the noise of two running at the same time in the same room. Air Quality Light: The purifier has a built in light indicator to indicate air quality which is nice, but not super informative, as there is no guide to tell you what it’s measuring or what the measurements are… honestly it could just be a light on a timer schedule for all we know, as the manual only says it indicates air quality in “red (poor), Amber (fair), and Blue (good)” VALUE: If you can continue to find this around $150 dollars (how much I was able to purchase it for), the value for the amount you’re spending is perfect. I will try to update this review when we purchase a second system and have it running in the same room as the first.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Winix Brand Works Well
*by N***E on December 28, 2025*

This is my second Winix air purifer. Got the larger one for living room/kitchen area as it is a new building with materials that seem a bit toxic. I run it every day to clean the air. It is large but not heavy. It is easy to use, easy instrutions. The noise level on the two lower levels is fine, but on high is a bit loud. But that does not bother me as I feel it is getting rid of nasty stuff in the air that I need until I can move out/ I tur the level down once the light stays blue. The light goes down after it the air is cleaned but still working to keep things clear.
