WINIX 5500-2 for home and bedrooms with HEPA Filter (99,999%) against allergies, dust, pollen, indoor air quality indicator, auto mode, Air Purifier CADR 390m³/h for 99㎡, Black

I'm very happy with this air purifier. I have a cat and it visibly picks up a lot of hair, that must just be floating around in the air; hair that would normally go unnoticed.I started using a Levoit LV-PUR 131 machine a couple of years ago to remove the smell of vaped marijuana flower (prescribed medical). I love the smell myself, but I know how many don't, and I'm a considerate neighbour.I've had the Winix for 3 months now, and it is far superior to the Levoit model, which has now been demoted to hallway duties.I like the washable pre-filter, although I've not actually had to wash it yet. I find that a good going over with a vacuum once a week, to remove all the large debris, is enough. I vacuum the charcoal filter too.As I've said, my primary reason for using an air purifier was never to remove dust but this is a big bonus, and there is visibly less dust now.The sensor detects VOCs much better than smoke, and for anyone using it for smoke or weed should be aware of this. I just keep it on setting three most of the time, which works very well for cigarette smoke and marijuana vape. Setting 3 on the Winix is quieter than setting 1 on the Levoit. Setting 3 is my "go to" setting. It's really not noisy at all. For smoke, leaving it on "auto" doesn't work, but manually setting it to 3 does. The same is true of marijuana flower vape.The turbo mode (4th speed) is VERY loud but unnecessary for normal use. I occasionally give it a blast, just to clear the air quickly, and it's very effective for this. I have a large living room, and 10 minutes on turbo will just clear anything quickly.The one niggle I have is that when I want to leave it on, as I retire to bed, I have a practical choice of setting 3 for 4 hours, or turbo for an hour - the timer does 1, 4 or 8 hours. It would be more useful for my purposes, if I could choose 1, 2, and 4 hours. Ideally, I'd like to be able to leave it on setting 3 for 2 hours, but that's not possible.I leave the Plasmawave mode on because on or off, I don't notice any difference. People have talked about it making occasional snapping noises, but I've never heard anything.Unbranded filter sets are about 20 quid, so in practice, I change them every two months. Winix say the charcoal filter will last for a lot longer as it is washable, but TBH washing and drying is too much faff for me.Lastly... it LOOKS better than the Levoit, which has turned yellow from UV light, like many white/off-white plastics.I'm very happy with this Winix machine. From research and experience, I now think that it's probably the best in the UK home market, for smoke and vape.

All I can say is I was sceptical about these so I bought this one for the spare room where myself and the dog are banished for snoring, the room is hoovered frequently but the amount of fine dust and a few dog hairs this pulls out of the room is crazy, tip: don't just hoover the pre filter remove the charcoal filter and hoover that along with the hepa type filter. When the lights go of they are silent mine is les than 2m from my head and I don't hear anything really, well worth the money.

I’ve been using the WINIX 5500-2 Air Purifier for a few months now in our multi-cat household, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.Having multiple pets means a constant battle with dander, fur, and litter dust. This purifier has been a total game-changer.The HEPA filter is incredibly effective- The air in our home feels noticeably cleaner, fresher, and lighter. Allergy symptoms, which used to be a daily nuisance, have dropped dramatically.One of my favorite features is the real-time air quality indicator. It’s reassuring to see how the purifier automatically adjusts its speed in Auto Mode depending on the air quality. After the cats use their litter box or when I both are having their daily zoomies, it kicks into high gear on its own and clears the air within minutes.We use ours predominantly in the open plan lounge/dining area and it keeps the whole space feeling fresh.Overall, I highly recommend the WINIX 5500-2 if you have pets, especially multiple cats. It’s powerful, smart, and has made a noticeable difference in our air quality and daily comfort.

Works well, Actually does a noticable job unlike some other brands I've tried.Filters are expensive but generally last a year.I have noticed the air quality in my room is much less stale and it also seems to deal with smoke rather well.I'd highly recommend this if you're a smoker or just simply want a purifier that isn't all bark no bite as I'm very happy with it.

These work and are excellent value for money. I highly recommend this. One of the best models. Can be a little loud when on full, but rarely needs to be.

Exactly what it says on the tin. Works well and the air is sweet.The machine is easy to operate and runs quietly as stated.Arrived on time and delivery was excellent. Would recommend.

Really bad dust in my house. Also bought better filters for my vacuum cleaner. Now dust is 90% reduced.

I have had this machine on low for 24 hrs at night and it works very well. It gives the room a nice smell in the morning. The product is as good as the seller wrote about it. I wish I had bought it sooner.
