5300-2 Air Cleaner with PlasmaWave Technology

I have been using this air purifier for 3 months to help with allergies, asthma and pets. It's exceeded my expectations. The price was competitive, filters also on the lower end for these products. The noise level not an issue, I don't even think about it, we run it on high (level 3 of 4) 24/7. And I can see it working, I vacuum the pre-filter weekly when I vacuum the house and can visibly see the dust, dog hair on it. I also just changed the charcoal filter for the first time and it was covered in stuff. and that filters just meant for odors but is was so covered with stuff it went from black to gray color. The hepa filter isn't scheduled to be changed anytime soon but I may opt to change early since it does seem to be taking in a lot and I want to keep it at optimal performance. This model has plasma feature which I have opted to keep off. I don't like the idea of it emitting ozone but that's your call. the important thing is it is there if you want it and can be turned off if you don't. I also love how the machine has an indicator to show air quality and changes colors. The one thing I don't like is that the lights only dim in sleep mode, which is level one. I wish that I could manually turn lights off. Instead I put black electrical tape over it (see photo), and that has worked well. It is the best looking one I've found and small for it's coverage size. it is light, has a handle and very easy to move from room to room. I plan on buying more for other rooms. I am very happy with this purchase.

Easy to use and effective getting odors out and air clean

Works well. Cools and circulates the room very well when it's on high. First 3 speeds are quiet and can still circulate air, just takes a bit more time. Clean air sensor is pretty accurate, I have farted into the sensor and immediately it turned red. I was amazed.

Does exactly what it states .... much cleaner air .. ordered 2 more... works excellent to rid kitchen odor

It's quiet, easy to operate, just set to automatic and it does everything else. We bought this hoping to take care of dog odor. He stays in our bedroom with us all the time we are in there. That's where we set up the purifier. Unfortunately it does not touch the dog odor. Didn't change one iota. Hopefully it will help with our allergies thus the half rating, otherwise it will be a "complete" waste of money.

Quiet and Beautiful. It is like our little friend and I am saving up to purchase one or two more. We live above rabid smokers in an apartment. Also, neighbors smells of various unpleasant genres waft in. Every very early morning I open the patio doors, front door, and windows and turn the fans on full blast. But during the day, and during the night, I keep this air purifier on and when cooking, to do the air cleaning, and boy does it work!!! The plasma option kicks in to rid the air of all toxins. I especially love the auto feature, as that way, one can literally watch it work. It turns red at the height of intake of bad smells, then gradually turns orange, then back to blue, to show you that it is working to rid the air of any pollutants. I watch it come on when I open the curtains, as it seems to sense the light of day, so efficient. It has not taken any electric consumption either. At night, there is no bothersome light, if say, you were using it in your bedroom, as the auto feature takes care of that. So quiet too, even at full range of use. It covers the entire front room which is quite big, sorry do not know measurements, and when I am cooking I just easily turn it toward the kitchen to clear odors. It is extremely lightweight, I can lift it with one hand as it as a convenient 'handle' built in. This is the best purchase I have made the entire year. Look around for cheaper carbon filters, as I found some at a great price. I change mine perhaps every two months, rather than the recommended 3 months, due to the extreme smells. This is a quality product for sure and a decent price. It is a cinch to change filters. I usually wash the dust catcher in very tepid water and air dry it and snap it right back in. This unit is perfect.

This is the second Winix filter we own. We have a larger model in the living room and this 5300-2 model in the master bedroom. We love how it keeps the air smelling clean and the airborne dust/pollen to a minimum Aside from unwrapping the filters, this machine is ready to go from the box. Less than ten minutes and you can use it. Included are enough filters to last one year. That's great, and saves money. You can run this on Automatic mode which is where we leave it, it will adjust fan speed on demand as the air needs it. When the room gets dark it lowers fan speed using the light sensor to avoid fan noise. Sleep mode gives you quiet low speed operation and dim lights. You can also go fully manual by selecting your preferred fan speed. Air quality can be revealed by glancing at the LED light on the control panel. Blue being clean air, Red being dirty air. The Plasmawave feature can be turned on and off with one button should you find it's not necessary or only want to use it when odors/particulates get bad. Overall it's a very nice machine. It looks high end and works perfectly. I love the magnet attached front panel and the prefilter. Both will make it easy to clean and keep the filters in top shape. On low speeds the fan is barely noticeable, this would work perfect in a baby's room. Being our second Winix machine, I can highly recommend their air cleaner products.

A very powerful air purifier for the size. Took me 5 mins to have this up in my bedroom from right out of the box. Comes with 3 extra Carbon filters. Weight of this unit is very reasonable. Carried it up stairs with no problem. Have a very self explanatory face with buttons. Covers 360 sq ft of space which is great. Used best for home use not commercial. Has a HEPA filter which filters out dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, mold spores, VOC (volatile organic compounds) and household odors.

extremely quiet and has a moisture component too. Comes with extra filters, ready to go
