D360 (Refurbished)

I run 3x Winix D360 Air Purifiers on high 24/7 in a 1k sq foot apartment.

Winix D360 is good and should cover 300 square feet. 

Winix D360/D480 explicitly don’t have an ionizer and work well, I have similar standards as yours and it works well for me. You can get 2 D360s for 300 dollars which would be a bit below 5 ACH or get a D360 and a D480 for 360 bucks which would be above 5 ACH.

And a secret feature I like is, it automatically goes into sleep when the room goes dark. Don't get the D360 as that is only a 3 stage filter (no plasmawave for bateria and viruses). 5510 is 5 stage which adds pet dander and hair filtration. As other's have said True Hepa is what is most important and since you need it for pets then definitely get the 5510. "Hepa" is just a marketing term thrown around because it's illegal to to lie about it being a true hepa filter.

Thanks. I did :) Seems like a good deal. I woke up at like 5am and was googling. I was debating getting the winix C610 at Costco for $130 bc of Costco’s return policy, but that one is a cylinder and I read cylinder shape might affect air purifier effectiveness.

I’ve been running a Winix I really like. Bought a Levoit for another room but the filters are expensive/specific/heavy plastic cartridges where the Winix uses standard HVAC hepa/carbon filters that seem both more effective and environmentally responsible. Super quiet (but fast to respond to bad odors lol). As someone who bought both - much better than the levoit.

They don’t make my P300 anymore but it’s just like this one https://www.winixamerica.com/product/d360-refurbished/?utm_source=Google%20Shopping&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping%20Product%20Feed&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=371941&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21647508956&gclid=Cj0KCQiA18DMBhDeARIsABtYwT0EOLhfQv_IDvW-bfcK08fXmzquR2zqN7eIiUC_4fkfJp-fHNA0jwYaAlu2EALw_wcB

I just went through this process because my cat was suddenly sneezing from some kind of irritants that weren’t bothering me, and it’s so confusing. It seems that Winix is a good “true HEPA” brand on a budget. Costco has a Winix one, C610, for $130 that often goes on sale for $99 and comes with two filters, which they claim is for two years. I just bought two for $99 each because I wanted to cover two medium rooms. I don’t know how good it is compared to others at that price point, but my cat has mostly stopped sneezing after about 24 hours of use in each room. But it’s cylindrical, so it has a single multi-layered filter, and I read here that for smell specifically you might want one for which you can change the carbon filter every few months. For changing carbon, you would want a flat one. I still have a Winix C535, an older model I got probably 5 years ago, that they sell at Walmart for around $150, and it’s easy to find filters for. I am still using it in a third room and haven’t had any issues. They also sell a D360 at Home Depot for around the same price. I don’t know which is better, but I bet a lot of the users here do. :)

We purchased a new oven range a month ago and I’m worried about VOC’s because we have a 9 month old baby. We did the initial “burn off” without baby in the house and then ventilated for a few hours. However I feel like I still smell a subtle daily lingering plastic smell. I definitely smell it a little if I use the stove burners, but even when the unit isn’t in use I feel like I smell something subtle. I haven’t even used the oven part since the initial burn off because I’m paranoid about VOCs. Daily I run two air purifiers around the kitchen area, a winix d360 and a Levoit 200S. I also open windows (which are right next to the oven) every morning and keep them open during the day. What else can I do to protect my baby from anything harmful coming from this new unit? I was thinking of getting a VOC monitor but saw that they mostly show relative values. So they wouldn’t tell me if the VOC level is objectively high/unsafe in our house on a daily basis, right? Or would a monitor be helpful? Thank you!!

I have some Winix models. I’ve been looking at the Austin air. Would it be worth it to upgrade or no?
