Great product, small flaws

Great product , but highly recommended. The screw holding the fan was loosened upon arrival. Identified by an ominous ticking sound coming from the machine's inner workings. I couldn't find a video on how to disassemble this particular model, so getting there wasn't easy. After simply tightening the screw, it's amazing.

Pros
  • Simple automatic sleep mode: the device automatically activates a quiet, energy-efficient sleep mode when the room is dark and returns to automatic mode when it's light
Cons
  • Don't like it, everything is fine

Winix does not respond to heating, cooling or air quality

We bought this as a second purifier during California smoke season when we were confined indoors with poor air quality for weeks this fall. As everyone bought filters, there were very few, but we chose this one because of its washable design. It has never been turned on and it looks like not all filters are washable which is misleading. There were no instructions and we emailed the company several times for a replacement to no avail. Apparently due to Covid they sent the quality control…

Pros
  • True HEPA filter: Captures 99.97% of airborne allergens including pollen, mold spores, dust, pet dander, germs and smoke (particles as small as 0.3 microns)
Cons
  • Little Things

Numerous defects and poor customer service

In my experience, Winix has poor quality control and customer service. I wouldn't buy these air filters if I knew what problems they cause. Last September I bought four of these air filters directly from the Winix website (at a discount). When they arrived, three of the four units were out of service. They turn on for a few seconds and then turn off (see attached video). I contacted Winix and they promised to replace the faulty units and pay shipping to send the faulty units back. It took about

Pros
  • Room size 360 square meters. Feet: AHAM Tested for 5 clean air changes per hour in a 360 square meter. ft. Suitable for medium to large living spaces
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
