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 air purifier aren’t known for being quiet, but they’re affordable for the performance, the c545 is rated for 363sqft, more than enough for ur room. But if u want it to be even more quieter u can oversized the unit for the room and run it at a lower speed, the winix c909 at costco(no membership

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

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

Going to provide some more experience with these filters comment, my C535/5500-2/5300-2 (I have all three, multiples of each) are run 24/7 on turbo for over 4-5 years just fine. I want to be explicit - my purifiers are not speed nor power cycled - which should help in wear and tear. I have three C53

Prefilter is huge here. My winix's get so much cat and dog hair its great - but they're literally 1" from their respective beds. It wouldn't be that effective otherwise. But it helps you keep the primary filters clean. I'd recommend any medium sized filter that's rated for ~320sqft aham and up. Run

Honestly, the cat litter smell can stick around longer than you'd expect, even when you're scooping it out right away. I've had that issue too, and just opening a window doesn't always help. For a small room like yours, and air purifier with a real carbon filter is key to dealing with smells, not ju

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

I haven't tried too many brands. But in my experience the blueair 411 and GermGuardian purifiers were horribly noisey. Any cheap air purifier I have bought ends up making a terrible high pitched noise that I cannot stand. My current air purifier is a Winix C545 and it's amazingly quiet compared to t

A C909 could work for the Living Room/Dining/Kitchen area, but it's now back up to $199.99 at Costco. You'll have to keep it on "Turbo" for proper CADRs; the second highest airflow speed may be viable too. I measured Turbo at 60 dBA (using the Decibel X Android app) which may be somewhat loud. Yes,
