C545

I purchased a used one once online because mine had died and I had a bunch of replacement filters. (It had been discontinued and I couldn't get a new one) It came caked in nicotine inside and out. Worst decision ever. ETA: check out this Winix C545 unit. It is refurbished for $59.99. I have purchase

I can 2nd this. I actually went through 11 units (purchased 5...rest were warranty units) and all failed. I still have 1 unopened replacement unit and can't be bothered to set it up. I replaced all of mine with refurbished Winix C545 units over 2 years ago and couldn't be happier with that decision.

My Winix C545 units turn yellow when my cats take a mega dump (unit located next to a litter box) or red when my neighbor starts smoking (unit located near door).

I finally broke down and bought 5 Winix refurb C545 units for $69 each 2 years ago....best decision ever! They are super easy to clean, I can get off brand filter refills that are a bargain, I lov

I also second Winix, we have two of the C545 and they're pretty goated for what you pay for them... If you get them at Costco you can return them if they break, but out of my two and my mom's 4, only one had needed replaced in about 5 years.

I love my Winix. I have the C545 and the A230.

We now have 3 Winix units. Bought a 5520 a couple months ago when it was on sale on Amazon and liked it so much got a c545 and c909 refurbished from Winix direct which just arrived. The 5520 has pellet type carbon filters which I understand last a bit longer than the other types. We use that in the

I would match all three for ease of filter stocking and replacement. I don't know any of these filters personally except the C545. The C545 is ... wasn't on my recommend list. I own, probably at least 3 across various apts and homes? My issue with it, is it basically was advertised as a replacement
