C535

Look for something that is easy to maintain and replace the filters. Consider the filter replacement costs when looking at prices - there are some cool designs that have really specialized and higher cost filter shapes, and others where the filter shape is a simple rectangle so their costs are low a

Just to help with compatibility, since the C535 is sort of rare now in the USA (its a costco exclusive model; only otherwise sold from Winix USA directly as refurbished, or from other distributors like Woot and Meh) ...: This is mostly from my own testing except for the Winix Zero: C535 = Winix Zero

I don't know the normal pricing of this filter to comment specifically on this deal, but in terms of relevant to OTHER filters in this performance class - this is on the more expensive side of the scale. Costco had/has a deal on a Winix with higher AHAM / CADR ratings (this measures filter performan

Air purifier, the machines not an aerosol spray or anything like that. I prefer these over scented candles and sprays. Smells are usually particle based and sprays and candles just put more particles in the air to try to mask odors. I like the Winix machines I bought. The c535 has a washable pre-fil

Yeah, and realistically, we're not even comparing to often-on-sale costco units like the Winix C535 and its newer siblings. These are $90 with spare filters, and use a much larger fan spinning/quieter speeds. It gets very difficult to beat the economics of a larger manufacturer buying and assembling

The C535 was $49 new in damaged box just a few days ago and sold out just recently. This is a costco specific version of the 5300-2. The C545 (wifi but personally sounds worse - smaller which is an advantage) is often on Winix refurb for $69. They are like new with fresh, sealed, filters. I'm in a s

I didn't make the point in this thread, but on another - I'm not sure why anyone is comparing retail priced units against a CR-style DIY box. C535 from Winix, new, at costco is on sale periodically for $99.Another that sold out is the C545 for $69.99 at Winix direct, which just sold out last week. F

C545's were known to be clunky and have fan bearing issues. Its partially rumored why Winix always had tons of them as certified refurb. None of my refurbs are bad, but I also think the C545's just feel cheaper overall than the 5500-2/C535 series before it - smaller fans, different quality noise (hi

75ft by 50ft with a low ceiling. That's a huge room - 3,750 sq. ft. I'm guessing there are missing decimal points. Consumer-grade air purifiers aren't designed to remove lead dust as such. I know you're on a budget so obviously it's better than nothing. But something like a Winix doesn't have airtig

i use both the levoit 300 and the winix c535 - both are good despite being listed as "budget air purifers". i keep my larger purifer on the floor to collect hair/dust on the floor, but i heard somewhere that the smaller ones are recommended to put elevated to target the breathing zone, so i put thos
