Pros & Cons
Pros
The auto mode takes care of having to manually deal with the settings on the air filter. Level 4 is fairly loud but you'll rarely if ever use that setting.
Winix 5500-2 is an excellent air purifier for the price at around 245 cad. Air quality sensor works good enough, senses the dust from folding sheets and goes back to blue after a while. Smell detector detects the odour of the shampoo and ramps up the ... Read More
Solid machine with simple filter replacement. Available from the manufacturer at a discount and aftermarket filters are available if you need to save on filter cost. I don't clean hepa filter, it looks like brand new. The washable carbon filter also s... Read More
Unit is not too bulky. It is not on wheels but there is a handle that one can grasp and lift it. It seems well constructed and is nicely finished.
It gives a nice indirect breeze while purifying the air. Extemely good at * up the particles in the air, even on the lowest setting. It works, it collects a lot of dust on a pre-filter.
Cons
It is annoying when so much effort is expended and the result is a seriously inferior machine. Big downside of this device is the price and availability of replacement filters. A written schedule for cleaning and replacement is included instead.
Highlights

Price
Great pricethis is my second unit
Definitely worth the price and would recommend to anyone looking for an air purifier
I find it to be good value for the cost
Shipping
Winix said they would send me a new one it was supposed to arrive by ups 3 days ago but nothing has come and tracking has been useless
Competitiveness
I did compare the price of this product with other indoor air purifier brands and this one was among the best
We got it to deal with an area that sometimes seems to have an issue with possible mould and it makes a huge difference
Now i doubt that any other model from other brands would do better than this one
The higher price on the winix 55002 model compared to the winix 53002 is that the carbon filter is washable on the 55002 and on... Read More
