Highlights

Quality

Highest fan setting seems to clean air in room at a really fast rate (based on the air quality indicator sensor light on the unit).

The filters are easy to replace, and the cleanable pre-filter catches a lot of bigger particles which prolongs the life of the ... Read More

The hepa filter cannot be "washed" but could be vacuumed and should be replaced every 12 months.

Although the machine looks in new condition, it came with a set of used filters and the strong perfumed odor of carpet cleaner ... Read More

The litter box smell has also disappeared, which is some kind of divine miracle, in my opinion.

Competitiveness

My final takeaways regarding the winix 5300-2:1) the styling is, in my opinion, far superior than other similarly priced purifiers.

Without mentioning the other major brands i've had, which are easy to stop as they are the best sellers, this unit is a lot bet... Read More
