Winix - C535/C909

Yup we have several, one in our living room, one downstairs, and one in our bedroom. The Winix brand is good and sometimes Costco has them on sale. In our bedroom we have a smaller Levoit. It helps keep the air fresh, helps manage cat hair and dust, and of course is nice when it's smoky out 🥲

This one was $100 on sale and is supposedly rated for more Sq ft than the 535. I also have a C909 which is bigger and uses the same filters as yours but I personally prefer the 610.

ya maybe, winix does the same...pre filter, carbon filter, hepa filter....I still had to change the carbon and hepa every six months.

Winix c909 goes on sale for 170 at Costco a couple times per year and comes with 2 filter sets. I'm not an expert, but I suspect this is probably the cheapest true-HEPA CFM per dollar in a smart device on the market. However, all the ratings are based on the highest fan setting, which is much louder and stronger than even the next lowest setting.

Ask r/airpurifiers IMO the Coway is the only one worth considering on this list - blueair and Levoit are junk to be honest. Add Alen and Winix to your list. Also, 2 things to keep in mind with air purifiers. 1) the advertised sqftage of the machine is usually grossly overestimated. Typically these estimates are based on cleaning all the air in a room **once per hour**. If you're serious about purifier air. You need **four** air changes per hour. 2) Curb your expectations about it handling hair. Sure it may be able to catch come hair in the general vicinity of the machine. But hair is too heavy to suck in from across the room. To deal with hair and visible dust look at a **corded and bagged** vacuum. Which will also help tremendously with allergies.

I like my cheap filtrete for white noise in the bedroom, I have two winix filters in my office and living room. Both have huge filters and prefilters that are cheap to replace. I used consumer reports to pick them out. Honeywell uses small filters and I wouldn't recommend them unless it's a very small room.

I like my WINIX for these larger particles. It has a cleanable pre filter, charcoal filter and the hepa. I vacuum the pre filter weekly to get the cat fur off. I also use an old germ guardian that was my best buddy in a musty old office I worked. It's still a great unit just louder like a fan so I use it in the bedroom as white noise now It's worth mentioning a reminder to change the home furnace filter if you have one. I tend to change mine every 1-3 months during high allergen or fire seasons.

Whole house or room? Room I like winex, legit, Dyson. Whole home not sure. Make sure it's a hepa. See what size particles it can remove. Most of mine do not have carbon filters. I thought the carbon would make a big difference for smell but so far it does not. FYI it decreases dust which is great! Less cleaning to.

Winix at Costco especially on sale

I have CoWay and Winix, Winix kicks on more frequently.

I like the Winix. Bought three. One became noisy after 3 months. Returned and bought a new one to replace. Thank you Costco - this is why I spend thousands in your stores!

I would buy whatever Winix fits your budget and space. My two Winix units are 11 years old with 24/7 use and still going strong!

Seven years. The oscillating feature manes noise now.

I have both and like this one better. The C909 is louder on low-high but about the same on turbo. You also can't turn the indicator lights off on the C909.

Nope hold Levoit accountable for their lies and don't buy their junk when there's other options. Get a Winix if you're on a budget. You can also get a box fan and put a filter on it but obviously it'll look like shit lol

Hey OP. I've owned several different air filters over the years and they've all helped a lot to lower the dust level and subdue my allergies. Even the cheap ones do shit. One thing is you have to clean the filters! The pre- filter gets dirty. Fills up with dust. I do like the Winix filters from Costco. The one I've got came with extra filters, which is really nice, cause the filters are like printer ink.

I have a Winix in my bedroom that's been running 24/7 since ~2010.

Winix is fantastic and well-priced

It takes me two minutes to swap out filters in my Winix every few months.

It does. If you don't mind it being slightly louder and somewhat bulky it's definitely a good air purifier. I like the filters in it better it has a washable pre filter. It also goes on sale occasionally

I also have a Winix, not sure of the model number. It seems pretty good, I've had no problems with it other than it has gotten noisier over time, especially on the "sleep" mode.

Get a winix. Costco carries them and it's on sale right now. Comes with a 2 year supply of HEPA filter. You can keep the ionizing feature off if you wish to do so.

There's only one correct answer. Winix Air Purifiers bought on sale at Costco. They're excellent & under $200. Buy generic replacement filters on Amazon.

We got the Winix ones and have been using cheap replacement filters from the web. No issues so far. We now have 3 as you could buy refurbs from them for like $50 a few years ago. Been running 24/7 for the most part.

Alen is the correct answer. It's overbuilt and comes with a lifetime warranty if you buy filters from Alen or authorized retailer. I'm a fan of Coway and Winix too. But Alen is clearly better built.

I love my Winix especially the feature that tells me when my dog farted before I even realize it (light turns red)

Winix is one of the better ones. When it comes to buying air purifiers, look for the companies that have been around for a long time to ensure replacement filters won't suddenly become unavailable or unaffordable.

We just got the Winix c909 and the turbo setting is not that bad to sleep to

AVOID DYSON AT ALL COSTS!!! They look cool but are RIDICULOUSLY overpriced for what you get. Spent $500+ on one and my cheaper Winix outperforms it by a mile. Total marketing scam.

I have a few Levoit the same size as this one. I don't really care for them compared to the Winix and Blue Air ones I have.

I prefer winix , filters are good and cheap to replace ,

We've loved our various models of Winix found at Costco for bunny cage and litterbox.

I would get a Winix instead. I have several of these around the house along with Winix air purifiers, and these are not that great compared to Winix.

I've had my Winix for nearly a decade now and it's still working great. I love it and recommend it to everyone.

Multiple Winix from Costco. Significant difference. Hardly any dust in our house. Affordable. Turn off ionizer on them!

This question has been asked a lot recently. I really like the Winix from Costco, about $100 and then turn off ionizers (produces small amounts of ozone). I barely get dust in my house since we run a few of them throughout the house.
