WX100

We have the Winix WX100. An overlooked cost of these filters is the cost of replacement filters. Depending on your model, you may need separate charcoal and other stage filters. There are third party filters that are cheaper, some that may work as good as oem, others that are as ineffective. I'd look into the cost of these before committing to a filter. I'm always sus about reviews because they are often bought. Been some time since I last looked into this, but at a minimum I'd find something with HEPA and charcoal filter.

We probably don't run it as much as we should, maybe on average 2 hrs a day during peak heat in the afternoon. Can't remember what the recommended filter change timeline is, but it's different for each. The wx100 has a yellow filter sheet that collects a lot of hair, so that gets changed every 1-2 months. The charcoal and hepa filter we change every 6-12 months, but really whenever we feel like it depending on how it looks when we change that yellow pre-filter. I don't have many filters, just that one which we use to filter the kitchen/living room space. We also have dyson fans that double as filters, and some smaller portable off brand filters. Tbh, it's not like I have a device that measures the amount of dust particles in the air. Will only say, guests that come over say they don't smell the dog smell. There is also a light that comes on whenever the winix detects dust in the air and it seems to work (always turns red when the pup walks by lol)

Winix shark and Honeywell are all well made and very efficient. Also its a huge plus if they have the mesh pre filter that you can wash/rinse as most of the pet dander will get caught in that vs. directly on the carbon or hepa filter which will save you some money on replacements. Winix hepa filters average 12 months for an average user but with pets im changing every 6 to 8 carbon filters are every 3 months or sooner depending on use kept in my room Shark "has a never change" (every 5 years replacement recommended) unit that my roommate has and that thing is awesome hasn't been 5 years yet but the pre filters have kept the hepa part clean (kept in living room) Honeywell is every 6 months i have two in the garage just because of dust accumulating due to non existent weatherproofing and it sucks walking onto a dusty room when you suffer from seasonal allergies. We have 2 dogs and a cat my ex adopted that somehow got left behind so the purifier is definitely a must. Hope this helps you

I have the first leviot on your list, it works good for pet hair and js fairly quiet. I dislike the winix because it has the plasmawave ozone stuff that is on by default. The winix is very strong but it makes my lings hurt if I forget to turn it off

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.

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
