✨ Genuine Winix 116130 Replacement Filter H for 5500-2 Air Purifier - White (SEO-Optimized) Review

DO NOT BUY THIS FILTER. I bought this filter from WINIX because it fits better (tighter) than the cheaper aftermarket replacement available here at Revain. Unfortunately, WINIX NOW USES THE SAME MANUFACTURERS THAT USE LESS EXPENSIVE SUPPLIER. The filters come in a Winix box and use the Winix part number but the quality is below average and identical to less expensive filters I've bought in the past for less than half the price!

Revain Prime order arrived almost overnight! Filter H (OEM) filter packs as advertised by the manufacturer. Setting and resetting the "Check Filter" indicator couldn't be easier. The HEPA filter only lasted 11 months but when the check filter light came on it was really DIRTY on inspection. The activated charcoal filter, which can be washed every 3 months, is very difficult to clean but is said to be better than the crappy flimsy flexible disposable filter found in other Winix models. weeks…

For those who need air purifiers, it is important to buy only "Original" spare parts. I've tried universal filters for other devices and they're cheap and much quicker to replace. That way, you're not saving money by trying to buy generic. I have a crazy sensitivity to dust, VOCs, and lots of other weird stuff. I also have 6 cats and have been living in a house under construction for the past two years. I have several air purifiers and professional air purifiers. Winix is by far my favorite. I…

Yes, they may seem like a slightly more expensive filter, but they're still a lot cheaper than a visit to the doctor! This is also a must for pet owners. I recommend buying an extra set of filters when you first buy a machine as they take 24 hours to dry. You won't want to be without a Winix air filter for even an hour after feeling the difference in the air. The quietest air filter I've had in 30 years! Pro tip: Use a vacuum or handheld vacuum attachment on the pre-filters before rinsing them…

Cleaning the pre-filter will not extend the life of the other two filters as the manf. shows; In fact, the opposite is true: the dirtier it gets, the more effectively it captures particles (even finer ones), thus reducing the amount that reaches those internal filters. However, you also don't want it to get clogged. We clean ours about once a month by simply vacuuming and brushing. The activated carbon filter is used to adsorb gases and vapours. Unlike absorption, adsorption creates a strong…

I bought one of the Winix machines and some replacement filters. Typically, filters need to be replaced about every 4-6 months. We live in an apartment building and we had a fire 6 floors above us. Our apartment was full of smoke and water. After the professional disaster recovery company finished their job, the smell of smoke was still there. I bought 2 more Winix machines and use them all the time. The air filters needed to be replaced after 2 weeks and that was to be expected - they were…
