Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In the past, I've used various air purifiers, mostly due to my cat's dander and occasional odors (like burning something in the kitchen). Holmes HAP716-U True-HEPA 3-Speed Tower Allergen Remover was convenient and had a thin washable piece of foam, but expensive filter replacements. I used to actually vacuum out the filters to make them last. This Winix True HEPA Filter is an amazing machine.
The Winix cleans through five stages instead of two. Air is also pulled in from two opposing sides with 1" gaps instead of one side and shoots it straight up into the room. The air first travels through the "washable" Anti-Bacterial Pre-filter, then the True Hepa Filter, the "washable" cassette frame, then the "`washable" Nano-Silver Mesh, then the "washable" Carbon Filter before finally getting a dose of `PlasmaWave', which generates both positive and negative ions to create plasma clusters. This neutralizes viruses, bacteria, chemical vapors and odors. Since this is the Ultimate Pet Model, it actually SUCKS CAT HAIR onto the first "washable" Pre-filter! This is what I have always been looking for.
The Display Panel is very intuitive with a timer button, a function button (low, medium, high and Turbo), Dust & Odor Sensors which actually will rise on a colored grid from green to yellow to red. One day, I burned bacon in the kitchen and the Odor Sensor went into red, even though it was in the next room!
The Change Filter Indicator lets you know when it is time to clean your "washable" filters. In Auto-Mode, the `smart sensors' sense the amount of impurities and adjust the fan speed accordingly!The entire unit will go into `sleep mode' when the room is dark, providing filtration without any noise and will readjust with light. There is a sensor for everything. I like the medium setting for sleeping, providing a low white noise.
This is a sturdily built HEPA filter and with washable filters, it will last and save you money. The only filter that needs to be changed is the True HEPA Filter and these run about eighty dollars, but I do not anticipate changing this often considering moderate use of three months only suggests cleaning the washable filters.
Considering I sneeze violently at least once a day, I have not had an attack since this machine has been turned on. This unit is a keeper. (I even suspect that when the True HEPA Filter needs to be cleaned I could use my vacuum, but we'll see how long that takes). There is also a nice small remote control that works all functions and nicely sits in a tray inside the top of the unit.
