T800

Cylinder shaped air purifiers are generally well regarded for small rooms due to their 360 degree airflow, compact footprint, and efficient particulate removal. I myself use Mi Air Purifier 4 for my small bedroom. The Winix T500 you have mentioned have 4 stage filtration system (pre-filter, carbon, true HEPA, and PlasmaWave), quiet operation, and smart features like auto and sleep modes. It removes 99.99% of particles as small as 0.1 microns, and includes WiFi/app control for convenience. It is a good option.

Both of my Winix air purifiers started smelling like smoke, they are different models, cleaned weekly and filters changed regularly, I don’t recommend them.

you can't beat the physics. what you want is the big size as prioirty thing to look for first. then you can look into other things but the size of purifier(filter) has biggest impact. winix is solid imo for basiaclly 99% of the use case.

I have the Winix. No issues to date. I don’t use the plasma wave feature.

We mainly use the winnix ones. They are fantastic.

Definitely recommend Winix. Australian and comes out top of various tests. (If you haven’t been warned- don’t buy Dyson) Super sensitive to more than just particulates and has a ‘pet filter’ that is changed monthly that goes around the main filter and prevents it getting clogged with dust. Helps to prolong its life if you have pets

I say about 1/3rd of my Winix's have a bit of a smell that dissipates quite quickly.

AVOID DYSON AT ALL COSTS!!! They look cool but are RIDICULOUSLY overpriced for what you get. Spent $500+ on one and my cheaper Winix outperforms it by a mile. Total marketing scam.

I would buy whatever Winix fits your budget and space. My two Winix units are 11 years old with 24/7 use and still going strong!

I like the Winix. Bought three. One became noisy after 3 months. Returned and bought a new one to replace. Thank you Costco - this is why I spend thousands in your stores!
