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.

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). If on Auto, they will crank up to clean the air. I have had 6 of them for 2.5 years and have been very happy with them. I bought them all

I like Winix because of the home assistant integration. I have 3 of the C545. It has 4 stages of filtration.

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

If you're in the USA it might be worth picking up two winix refurbished c545. They are pretty hard to beat at 69.99 tbh. I use them with the wifi off and no plasma wave currently have 2 of them and 2 of the c909 costco models in our house.

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 6 of the Winix C545 units in part because they are smaller in scale and are close to the wall. I even have one on its side under a raised dresser. I've had them for 2.5 years and have been super happy, especially with the wifi scheduling feature which I like. And the mesh pre-filter catches a

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. You'll need way more activated carbon than the single layer that comes with most air purifiers. I do not have re

I literally just picked up some winix models (c545 and xq) been running them for less then a day and can already feel the difference in Phoenix. The air quality is so bad here that I couldn’t take it anymore and caved yesterday. I chose winix because of wifi capability, but I’m sure anything will be

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
