Good quality product.
I haven't had an air purifier before so , after a bit of research I purchased the WINIX 5500-2. And im pleasantly surprised, its a nice size and not that unpleasant to look at. As for performance and ease of use it seems to tick the boxes. It has 2 filters a partical filter and a very substantial active charcoal filter , the controls are easy to use on off switch with an auto setting and manual. In the auto setting the system monitors the air quality and controls the speed of the fan and coupled with the visual effect of the light which changes from blue to red when the quality of the air is low. There is also a light sensor so at night the fan drops to a low level and is wisper quite. I is very quiet on normal running which does increase when on maximum but not to a level that is disagreeable. The filters are supposed to last 12 months so I will update my review when required. All in all Im very happy with it .

Excellent for smoke, vape and dust
I'm very happy with this air purifier. I have a cat and it visibly picks up a lot of hair, that must just be floating around in the air; hair that would normally go unnoticed. I started using a Levoit LV-PUR 131 machine a couple of years ago to remove the smell of vaped marijuana flower (prescribed medical). I love the smell myself, but I know how many don't, and I'm a considerate neighbour. I've had the Winix for 3 months now, and it is far superior to the Levoit model, which has now been demoted to hallway duties. I like the washable pre-filter, although I've not actually had to wash it yet. I find that a good going over with a vacuum once a week, to remove all the large debris, is enough. I vacuum the charcoal filter too. As I've said, my primary reason for using an air purifier was never to remove dust but this is a big bonus, and there is visibly less dust now. The sensor detects VOCs much better than smoke, and for anyone using it for smoke or weed should be aware of this. I just keep it on setting three most of the time, which works very well for cigarette smoke and marijuana vape. Setting 3 on the Winix is quieter than setting 1 on the Levoit. Setting 3 is my "go to" setting. It's really not noisy at all. For smoke, leaving it on "auto" doesn't work, but manually setting it to 3 does. The same is true of marijuana flower vape. The turbo mode (4th speed) is VERY loud but unnecessary for normal use. I occasionally give it a blast, just to clear the air quickly, and it's very effective for this. I have a large living room, and 10 minutes on turbo will just clear anything quickly. The one niggle I have is that when I want to leave it on, as I retire to bed, I have a practical choice of setting 3 for 4 hours, or turbo for an hour - the timer does 1, 4 or 8 hours. It would be more useful for my purposes, if I could choose 1, 2, and 4 hours. Ideally, I'd like to be able to leave it on setting 3 for 2 hours, but that's not possible. I leave the Plasmawave mode on because on or off, I don't notice any difference. People have talked about it making occasional snapping noises, but I've never heard anything. Unbranded filter sets are about 20 quid, so in practice, I change them every two months. Winix say the charcoal filter will last for a lot longer as it is washable, but TBH washing and drying is too much faff for me. Lastly... it LOOKS better than the Levoit, which has turned yellow from UV light, like many white/off-white plastics. I'm very happy with this Winix machine. From research and experience, I now think that it's probably the best in the UK home market, for smoke and vape. [Update: Aug 25] I'm still very happy with the performance. I've discovered that because I've been smoking rollies (tobacco) near the unit, a sticky film develops on the pre-filter. In fact, the surrounding black plastic is also sticky. I think it's nicotine. Anyway, I just laid the filter down in the bath, and went gently over it with some water and a little washing up liquid. This did the trick. Good as new. Another trick I've found is that the carbon filter is exactly half the depth of the Hepa filter, so it is possible to fit three carbon filters, and no Hepa filter. Of course, from the POV of smoke and vape removal, this is not, as one might think, three times the effectiveness, but rather 197% the smoke-reducing power (according to ChatGPT) - something to do with layer passing. That's still almost twice as effective. It doesn't get the fine dust through, that's just blown back into the room. I use this air purifier in the room where I smoke and vape. Just around the corner, in my hallway, I have another Winix with a Hepa filter. That one gets the dust.

Outstanding performance
This Air Purifier is outstanding! I was orginally going to purchase the Shark Neverchange Max. However after alot of research discovered that Winix 5500-2 was actually alot better, covered a bigger area space and was a fraction of the price. Having 2 dogs, and cat when i purchased I was always mindful of ensuring my home didn't smell. Especially as one is a long haired haired Working Show cocker spaniel and during winter when dogs are walked in all weather conditions. Also, since moving into this house i noticed my nasal discharge was alot more thick, green and gooey! Suggesting the area/enviroment is more dusty and polluted. I keep it on Auto mode 24/7. Fantastic results within 24hrs. The Air felt cleaner, lighter and fresh. Any odours are completly gone. The sensors respond affectively to areosols used in the room. I've even noticed that some coughing even activates the machine to spead up. After 2 weeks i checked the filters. The amount of dust, pet dander and hair (especially cat) was very suprising considering i hoover 2-3 times daily,and mop and dust daily. This was easy too hoover off, I hoover the carbon filter too. After another 1week ( the cat was no longer alive so hadnt been in the house) I checked and hoovered it again...still dusty but anywhere near as bad suggesting the air quality really is improved. To my amusement and experiment, very big stinkly christmas banging human farts also activate the Sensors to spead up the fans. Guests over christmas noticed a change in houses the air quality commenting it smelt really light and easy to breath. One Guest suffering from Asthma said she felt it was easier to breath since coming into the house. Highly recommended to anyone. I will be buying one for the top floor of our house too.

Actually does something.
Works well, Actually does a noticable job unlike some other brands I've tried. Filters are expensive but generally last a year. I have noticed the air quality in my room is much less stale and it also seems to deal with smoke rather well. I'd highly recommend this if you're a smoker or just simply want a purifier that isn't all bark no bite as I'm very happy with it.

Amazing job.
Very good quality. Eficient, you can feel it after 2-3 days. Night mode is very quiet. Quality of the build is remarcabile. Easy of cleaning or to change the filters. Very good to eliminate the odor in your room. It has a timer build in as well. Regarding the power consumed, I have not checked yet, but I am not so concerned because is doing a great job. Is not very big but not small as well. Con: no remote or an app on the phone. No wifi.

Well worth the wait and money
Ordered one and I've no idea what happened as it arrived at the DPD warehouse and then I got an email saying they'd a problem.... Nobody could tell me what it was and it was eventually returned to Amazon without any attempts to deliver it and I was given a refund.... Had to order a second time and and order the extended 4 year warranty as this was cancelled too oluckily this time it arrived fine .... Unit works great and it cycles nicely on Auto Mode and we noticed a difference in living room in only one day of use noise on fan speed 1 to 3 is absolutely fine with no noticeable noise on 1 or 2 even with the TV off, 3 is a bit noiser but the TV masks it and 4 is quite noisy but again it's liveable and no worse than the noise from a fan and it only ever goes there on manual as in 2 weeks its never gone above 3 on Auto Mode .. The only downside is as it was sold with a remote control in the USA it has a sensor on it and when my wife switches the TV on/off the unit if it's on goes from Automatic Mode to full blown manual mode on no 4

Excellent
I had a small air purifier, just for my bedroom but to clear the air, I vape, it had to be on max, very noisy and useless. Clouds of vape remained. This air purifier is expensive but I wasted my money going cheap. It is absolutely excellent and so quiet, my kitten is happy to walk by. She was terrified of the other one. I can't hear it and there are no clouds of vape in the air. It's all sucked into the purifier. This is absolutely worth the investment. Save your money on cheaper purifiers and buy just once. You won't be disappointed with this purchase

Good product, mine has auto fault but on manual settings is great.
If the auto button worked I would give it 5 stars. It has a red bar when air quality is not good and when you put on full power it clears the room quickly. Or at least the red bar turns blue quickly. I am unsure of how well it clears the room but at the very least it does a good job. When I first got, couple weeks ago, I put it on auto but when the bar went red it did not amp up to clear the air. I waited for a long time but it stayed red on very low setting. When I then manually changed setting to high, it changed to blue quite quickly. This is concerning for in the night that if air quality bad it won't be cleaned. Another issue is when I have tried to put on auto, in hopes it will work, though auto has 4 settings, including nighttime, it often will only go to nighttime setting and won't show auto setting. So I have to have it on a manual setting all the time. When on high it is loud however I prefer clean air to silence so that is not an issue. I would return it to exchange but as my other air purifier is not working I can't be without one long enough to do that. I asked the suppliers if they could give technical support so that I could problem solve myself but they said I had to contact Amazon, who only offer refund or exchange. It was easy to set up, it is pretty large, similar to a large amplifier (for those who play guitar) but it seems to be quite powerful. I will be buying another one because aside from the auto settings issue, it is a good product. However, sending out a faulty one and then not being prepared to talk me through troubleshooting which ay have rectified it has lost it two stars.

A good purifier at a decent price
A very good air purifier with a washable pre filter and carbon filter.Design is okay. Easy to install .Noise level is surprisingly low and in night it automatically reduces fan speed if auto mode is selected. As for allergens I think itโs doing a decent job.Its a good value product overall. Plasmawave feature actually works and odour is drastically reduced.

DO NOT BUY - NO REMOTE OPERATION POSSIBLE
The seller is lying; this is advertised to come with a remote control, which is why I chose it, and there is no remote control included, and it cannot be connected to an app. BEWARE - Do not recommend buying this if you require remote operation.

The best you can buy
I bought this air purifier because I have two cats, I set it up in a room and let it run on the highest setting for 10 minutes and it removes so much cat hair and dust if you turn a ceiling fan on. It has a great little light bar that displays 3 colors, blue - orange and red. If you turn it on and it displays orange or red its probably best that you let the machine run until its atleast down in the blue, I recommend this for everyone.
