I was gonna buy that but they said it may make noises high pitched, when in sleep mode etc. Ended up buying winix zero pro, not bad at all so far. Frankly I think that buying 2 good ones instead of 1 giant purifier might be better, small apartment or not. But im definitely not an expert so take my advice with a grain of salt. Im learning.

I live in Spain, so we may have similar products. I bought a Winix Zero Pro at a local retailer a couple of years ago and I'm happy with it. Dyson is generally overpriced. They have good products (we've had a couple of their vacuum cleaners), but they are often times too expensive nowadays. I can't say much since I don't know about purifiers, but stick to brands like Philips, Coway or Winix. Preferably avoid Amazon reseller "brands". And check for the prices of filters and how often you have to change them, you don't want to have to swap them every couple of months. Make sure to check reddit for comments on whatever you are planning to buy. Also, where are you planning to put it? If it's a big room, like the living room or a kitchen+living room kind of thing, you'll need a good one to be able to move all that air a bit, if you have several smaller rooms, you may be better off buying several of them but with slightly less power.

Just make sure buy a modern model. HEPA filters have evolved a bit over the years and so has the regulation. Old "HEPA" filters might not be true HEPA by today's standards. Just make sure you don't buy one with an ozone generator, or if you do, since many come with it (my Winix with PlasmaWave, for example), remember to deactivate it. They are not very good for people's health and I guess they are far worse for birds For reference, I have a Winix Zero Pro

No matter what you'll end up with, don't get a winix. Any of them. Baffled to see that, winix zero pro has been discounted (without a notice) and.. That on the EU branch, the filters aren't available to purchase anymore (out of stock). But worse, theirs hepa filters are not what they do claim to be, and they got a lawsuit. Such a bad experience. Never again.

Just bought a Winix Zero S and really working wonders! It stopped most of my dust-related morning allergy. Would 100% recommend for the price. I know I’m gonna get flamed for this but my Dyson TP09 does an okay job too in my office. Just takes longer to clean the room (and it’s more noisy). At least it clears the high levels of formaldehyde that my office seems to have. (With severe allergies stay away from Dyson though)

My Winix Zero S has made wonders for my stuffy nose. I used to wake up and spend the morning blowing my nose. Now I’ll just do it after waking up and be good for the rest of the day (most of the time). The important thing is you have it running at full speed at least 30m before you enter your bedroom, then you can switch it to lower levels for the night. I have a Dyson TP09 running in my office as well, that might be helping too (this one starts running at full speed 2h prior to my arrival to the office, since it’s a big room with high ceilings).

I have a Dyson tp09 and a Winix Zero S. The Winix destroys the Dyson in every aspect. The only thing the Dyson has over the Winix is the fancy meters and cool app. If you are still gonna go for a Dyson I can sell you mine for cheaper (so that I can go buy more Winix purifiers).

That Coway should not be over the Winix. The carbon filters in it are trash. Also, Dyson combo unit on the list? 🥲

If its just 1 room and youre on a budget you can try the winix zero (s). The zero was less than 100 pounds in the netherlands. No smart. But filters are very affordable compared to other air purifiers + good cadr. It wont help much with smells, but you said you care less about that.

The winix zero will be great. It is for bigger spaces, but that means you dont need to run it on max speed to keep your smaller room clear(less sounds than a smaller one). If there are a lot of VOCs everyday the filters will need replacement more often, but that is the case with every air purifier. There's many off brands that sell cheaper filters because its a popular brand.

UK here, I got a Winix Zero a year or so ago. It has a carbon filter and HEPA filter and it hasn't flagged it needs its filter replaced so far. It has an air quality sensor and you can turn off the "plasmawave" if you wish. Very good, would get one again.

Either way, don't you just turn the bedroom one on auto and leave it going 24/7? Having a better look, the winix might be slightly better in function, so if you can just turn it on and forget about it, might be worth a try. otherwise you seem to be leaning toward the Levoit anyway, so it is cheaper and will use a bit less electricity, so cheaper overall. If the app and the plasmawave are true problems for you, then you have answered your own question, but if you want a bit of better air and don't care about fiddling with the app, just turn it on and leave it, just clean the dander filters once a month, then the winix might be worth it.
