C545

The most common recommendation is the one that Costco has sold for years, the Winix C545. They put it on sale for $100 multiple times per year and sell the replacement filters for cheap. I have it and it’s great. Quiet, has smartphone controls, looks nice, etc.

Winix America has the C545 refurbished $59.99. I've purchased these, they always come with new sealed filters and are like new. Never had a single one I'd say looked used. I don't know if there's just an army of CR box people in this subreddit for the past month or so.... I like CR/Corsi Rosenthal B

And then our large valued area we have two c909s one I got from Costco online another I got for refurbished from winix. But stock is hard to come by for the refurbs dire

I went through 11 or 12 Milas (originally bought 5) that all had bearings issues or capacitor failures. 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 have had 6 Winix C545 units for 2.5 years that I have been super happy with. I purchased 5 of them as refurbs directly from Winix...they currently have them for sale for $60 which is a fantastic deal. I have replaced the filters with generic replacements from Amazon for about $18/year for the HEPA

HEPA will struggle to keep up with the smoke, especially if you don't open windows or anything. I'd recommend a dedicated carbon canister filter for the smoke, as well as a HEPA purifier.

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
