    • The Winix 5300-2: A Delightful Companion
Color: Gray Pattern Name: Air Purifier
If you need to rid the air of dust, pollen, smoke, or other particulate matter: this is the purifier for you thanks to a large fan and true hepa filter. If you need to rid the air of odors: you're going to need something else - preferably with 15-20lbs of activated charcoal in it. HEPA filters capture particles - not gasses. After buying this thing, I found out that many air quality problems can be abated by deep cleaning and controlling humidity - if you've already done those things and still need to get rid of dust or don't regularly or seasonally have humidity indoors above 50% then this is a good move. After a little bit of research I found that dust mites and mold flourish in humid environments both of these things are major causes for allergies. A HEPA is still a good idea because dust contains other toxic chemicals like flame retardants which are pretty bad for you. Lowering humidity kills dust mites and mold so they can't release allergens but HEPA filters will capture particles of that size if they're a problem - I just think humidity is more important than purifying. On to the review: The Winix 5300-2 is a little friend that comes in a box. When you plug it in he (or she) plays you a tune, samples your air, and cleans it up by sucking it through a true hepa filter. This purifier is the Thor's hammer of air quality control. It moves a lot of air, it is almost silent, and it is adorable. I think this machine is the best value on Amazon for air purifiers and here's why: It covers a relatively large area, it's well made, has a strong recommendation from Allergy Buyers Club, and one of the other reviewers measured its effectiveness with a Dylos air particle sensor and stated the results were excellent and far better than the Sharp Clustersomething. So here's what you need to know: If you push air through a Hepa filter it will remove particles from the air. You can achieve an effective result by taping a 20" house fan filter to a box fan and get a 90% reduction of air particles - and perhaps more if you use a better filter. It's an ugly and kind of ratchet solution but it's something I'm still considering for my studio space. This machine has a true hepa filter so it will work. The problem we run into in the design of these machines is size and noise. This machine is bigger and has a lot of surface area compared to smaller units and so the fan can be larger and draw more air in at a lower speed which means it's not as noisy - at least that's how I think science works. Either way the little guy is dead silent on sleep mode and is not a problem even at level 2 - after that it sounds like a little fan is on and if you put this sucker into turbo it sounds like a small aircraft - it's great for initial cleanup but not necessary to run it at that speed all day. Now lets set some realistic expectations about what this thing can and cannot do. I saw one lady complain that she lived with 5 cats and she ran it for a week and still had cat hair everywhere and none in the machine. There are dedicated machines for pet hair and they aren't cheap. I think they're also huge and they probably sound like a commercial air scrubber if you turn it on. This isn't going to replace vacuuming your house or brushing your cats - and having lived with one cat I can tell you that they're nasty creatures and 5 of them stuffed into an apartment is probably way too many cats for one person or 1 Winix air purifier to handle. If you want to use this to clean up cat hair here's what you do: Step 1: Obtain a gas powered leaf blower and some ear protection Step 2: Turn on your Winix 5300-2 - set to Turbo Step 3: Turn on your gas powered leaf blower Step 4: In a circular orbit complete passes around the room making sure to get all of the cat hair airborn Step 5: Repeat step four until all cat hair has been sucked into the Winix 5300-2 This machine was designed to remove fine particles from the air. It does that. Every time you turn on your vacuum, walk on your carpet, open doors or windows, sit on your dusty furniture, or turn on your air conditioner you kick up dust. That's what this is for. Ok so Plasmawave: YES it creates ozone but only a little bit. So little that in the People's Republic of California I can still buy one. Ionizing air purifiers have been banned by order of the Government here - and so this is not that. Other things that create ozone? Your hairdryer and microwave. Also you can turn plasmawave off if you don't like it. I'm not exactly sure that it is useful but I leave it on while it's scrubbing the room on turbo and then I turn it off when I'm actually inhabiting the room. So here is the bottom line: you breathe about 3000 gallons of air per day. How much water do you drink per day? Do you filter that? So now that we've decided you need one of these machines do you pick the 5300-2 or the 5500-2? The 5500-2 has lower maintenance costs because it comes with washable filters. As far as I know - that's the only difference. I chose the 5300-2 because I want my air and house to be cleaner, I don't want to open up the chamber , pull out this dusty filter, drag it over to the sink and ring it out or whatever. All in all you decide! But when you get one, I think this is the best one. I'll update it after a bit of more use. **Update 1 week in** Definitely loving this little guy, and have noticed that the air is definitely cleaner and I feel noticeably better. If you're going through the hassle of getting one of these, do yourself a solid and do a deep clean of your house. Wipe down the walls, vacuum under your furniture, change your air filter in your furnace or air conditioner, vacuum the drapes, wipe the mildew off of your windows. Main complaint: It has a sleep mode and it's dead quiet, but I am comfortable with it blowing at level two while asleep. You can't run it out of sleep mode and still turn the blue air quality indicator light out. The light is super bright and illuminates a room to a disturbing level. Eventually I'm going to put one in my bedroom and just put tape over the light and leave it at two while I sleep. Other than that, it cleans the air as advertised, no strange smells that I noticed, except the smell of a fresh air filter. It's well built, the buttons look and feel good, and I feel better after using it. So far it's still a highly recommended product. I'll update down the road. Update 2/8/17 I think it's been about a month. No problems so far. Emailed Winix and found out that the air sensor measures gases and temperature - not particles. I've noticed of my wife paints her nails the air quality quickly goes to red, it will also do that if you burn something on the stove. It does have a carbon filter but that filter is not very good at removing smells - they make machines for that and they use 18lbs of activated charcoal. The best one I've seen is $700. Basically the air quality sensor is kind of useless because in auto mode it will only kick on if you do something smelly to your house and not if say your heater kicks on and blows out a lot of dust. Auto mode is pretty pointless just use the manual controls - takes 2 seconds. I will definitely be buying another unit from Winix - probably a 5300-2. Update: 6/24/18 Still going just fine and while I’ve needed to clean the first screen every few weeks, the carbon filter only needed to be replaced once and the hepa still looks like it’s 65% of new. I’m tempted to replace it just because the manufacturer says to do it about once a year. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. I like the air quality first sneezeless night in years. Studio apartment so unit has to cover at least sleep/living room area 267 sq ft I like the auto feature / select and unit does the rest. Light dims when lights go out. Powerful and efficient well made Easy to clean just remove front panel. Pre filter can be easily removed for cleaning or left in place and vacuumed. Way easier than round purifiers. I had 3 of a well known brand and I didn’t like flipping them upside down to open and remove filter. I also didn’t like rotating the filter to vacuum …very awkward I like the price of the unit and the filter replacements which are cheap. Reading reviews that said the washable carbon filter made the 5505 noisier so I went with the 5503. I don’t like washable and prefer disposable anyway…,faster. The round brand name unit is expensive and filters expensive to replace. Winix has Easy to carry handle built into top if it needs to be moved. I think this model will go into my large bathroom next to the litter box… I have 2 cats. It is a separate room from the rest of the apartment so it needs its own. Winix has a smaller round model which would probably be a more appropriate size but I don’t like the round ones. Then I plan to get the 9800 to replace it to be sure my whole studio is fully circulated. There is the kitchen and hall. It is the same as 5503 with same filters but wider opening on front panel and larger motor/fan and deeper (12”) to accommodate. I set the 5503 on auto and leave it whether my windows are open or not. Might as well purify air coming on. 9800+5503 for studio probably way overkill but I like that…they will clear the air fast and noiseless. Larger units can run on lower speeds. I am sitting here writing this review with my nose enjoying every breath…. Ahhhhhhhh. It feels so good I just want to sit and breathe Update 4/27 one week later As planned got the 9800 for living/sleeping/kitchen in my small studio and moved this one 5503 to large bathroom next to litter box New pics added showing filters when I first removed front cover. 5503 did nice job of catching fur and litter dust. Second set of pics show after vacuuming both pre filter and carbon since it is not washable. Area lower right is next to litter box so filtered more. Rotated and replaced Hepa filter pristine May have to replace carbon more often Might get 2 washable and rotate weekly so use one while other dries like I do with my robot vac Update 4/30 My cats eyes have cleared up. They both used to have a lot of discharge in the corners that I was always cleaning off. They don’t have that anymore since I started using Winix 5503 and 9800. Update 5/1 Last night my nose was runny so I turned up the 9800 to 3 and my nose cleared up restful night sleep ... show more
