@Jetlag@Woody1 I got an older version of one of these last year on Meh and it worked great! If not too great, it would kick on the second I sprayed my perfume. Couldn’t tell you how long it lasts. I can tell you it will not survive a house fire.
I bought this from morningsave a while back. It does not include a remote like other Winix purifiers I have purchased from Meh. The write up is incorrect.
I’m glad to see the filter count is correct on this, as it includes one of each filter. The one from Costco comes with 2 HEPA filters and 8 carbon filters, enough for 2 years. That’s what the write-up from morning save showed and I was sorely disappointed to find it only included one of each.
Anyways, it’s a pretty good deal, but Costco is a better deal if you can get a deal with Google Express (check slickdeals) since it comes with the extra filters.
This unit is very quiet in comparison to other Winix models. It works well, including the odor/air quality sensor.
Hmm I don’t suppose if you put one of these in your house it will clean more than the air - you know cartoon style - suck in the entire contents of the house, the rug, etc and shoot it back out all clean? If no then please find and sell something that does do that please.
May 30. Day 16. The streets are quiet. I repaired two more Winix units and moved them to the dock. The orders for them have stopped coming in. I’m worried. Still, I have four of them on in the office and two more that I rotate in, so I should be safe for awhile. I have enough food to last three more days.
It started in some cran-cherry nut mix. We figured that much out. Something changed on May 14 - right when they expired. Two cops were the first ones to get sick. The one cop … real young, I guess … he just kinda melted, they said on the news. They were in the evidence lock-up, and boom, down he goes, puddle. It wasn’t like the yogurt or the honey-mustard, I heard - you had to eat those, this is some kind of gas. One sniff, you’re a puddle. The worst part is, the puddle gives off more of the gas. You smell that, you’re a puddle too. That got his partner, and half the force besides.
These Winix units, I guess they work OK on it. I haven’t had occassion to find out, but the orders were way up for a few days. We ran out of new units and had to do refurbs. Then they started coming back for repairs, I guess the gas wears them out pretty quick. I get the repairs done as fast as I can and turn them around, but so far no one’s been back to pick one up. I’m not sure what’s left outside my office door, and I don’t think I want to find out.
I don’t know about other customers but I know my room size Length times widths so I type in what are the dimensions of a 360 square foot room and the result come up as 12 X 30 = 360 Square Feet . Hope that helps someone.
If it’s anything like the Electrolux filter I got on sale, it is cheaper to buy multiples of this deal than it is to get one and then buy replacement filters.
That said - my Electrolux takes standard size furnace filters that almost fit perfectly, and while not “full on HEPA” they are “high MERV”
I have the Winix 5500-2 and I can’t recommend it. It developed a bizarre odor over time. Changing the filter with genuine winix supplies (which costs $60-$70 for the HEPA filter and carbon filter which are sold together) long before both supplies were due for a change (used one month in odor light environment, no food odors or cigarette smoke, rated for up to six months) did nothing. Winix refused to respond to warranty inquiries sent via their website.
Based on that, I can’t recommend buying their products.
I was dismissive about the fact that it might be a bizarre one off, but other Amazon reviews point to the unit having an “oily” or “fruity” smell, so it isn’t just me.
no money to buy this deal, but would anyone recommend this or another brand (or device entirely) for cooking smells? we live in a small apartment with no stove hood or vent and i cook every night. i do what i can when i cook certain things (all day braises, fish, lots of garlic, or meat on the stovetop) - i close the door to our bedroom & bathroom, clean as i go, open windows and the kitchen door weather permitting, and febreze right before we go to bed as well as run our diffuser. but with certain foods/preparations i’ll still wake up the next morning and smell last nights dinner which is no longer what i want to smell. reading this deal made me think perhaps something like this might be worth saving up for.
@airynne From the specs:“AHAM Verified Room Size: 360 Square Feet”
If your house is only 360 sq ft, then it’s 1 per your house. If your house is 720 sq ft, then it’s 2 per your house. If your house is 1080 sq ft, then it’s 3 per your house. And so on…
Does anyone know if Meh uses these when it fills those bags with Texas air?? I’d hate to think that they were shipping dirty air to all corners of the country…
@kelaiem I got the 1x hepa and 4x carbon pack for $20 on Amazon and they seem to be about the same as the originals. 2x of these would net you more carbon filters and cost less compared to the Costco deal.
@kuoh thanks for the recommendation! Could you comment on the fit? I saw some bad reviews suggesting the fit was bad but they didn’t specify the model number of the filter they used.

These are like HP printers, the replacement filters will set you back $60 a pop. Or get a 2-pack for a measly $89.

Hell it even comes with
Features: •Includes 2 True HEPA Filters And 8 Activated Carbon Pre-Filters
• Close To A Two Year Supply Of Filters
@Woody1 Wow and the Costco one has 2 filters and 8 pre filters. This is as Meh as they come.
And @Woody1’ s first Costco link given above states a 2 year limited warranty, and gives a PDF link for the manual.
@Woody1 Yeah, I got one from Costco/Google Express a month ago for $75 when they were running a 25% off coupon.
These were all probably run for two years and then returned.
@Jetlag Don’t be a dick

@Woody1 Thats for this. I had ordered from meh, but saw your link and cancelled. Went with costco. Sorry Meh
Costco has it currently on sale for $99.99 with 2 hepa filters and 8 carbon pre-filter. Of course it is about 50% more than this offer.

Hi @nickm461 - The remote for these should be at the bottom of the box in its own bag.
Hmm I don’t suppose if you put one of these in your house it will clean more than the air - you know cartoon style - suck in the entire contents of the house, the rug, etc and shoot it back out all clean? If no then please find and sell something that does do that please.
@Kidsandliz yea, that’s how it works, you just have to read the fine print
/youtube read the fine print
i must have 10 Meh. air cleaners in my basement - some are free for the asking (shipping not included)
/giphy shipping not included

Don’t count on it

Does this take the non-Winix carbon and HEPA filters like the 5300-5500?

“A small price to pay for his boys to breath easy!”
You mean “breathE easILY”? Meh grammar, here, also.
I’d buy, but I don’t got no money for not buying it, for my wife and I, neither. So, wife and me will do without.
Touche, all you ad writers. Get woke, or whatever.
Write up by the new guy for sure.
I don’t know about other customers but I know my room size Length times widths so I type in what are the dimensions of a 360 square foot room and the result come up as 12 X 30 = 360 Square Feet . Hope that helps someone.
much cheaper…
@fastharry is that a trump brand product or is that the sound you make when you fart?
Flatulentastic!
Hooray, refurbished air!

@coop Maybe it is you. How often do you shower?
Sounds like a star trek ref. C535 on the sea shore. You know… Metaphors…darnak!
Meh, your spell chek is broken! Shouldn’t that be “no regerts”?
@beachhead Pot, meet kettle.
To answer yout question,
No. Not even a letter.
Got two of these from Costco a while back. Very good and it should include about two years worth of filters
Gotta be inix to winix.
no money to buy this deal, but would anyone recommend this or another brand (or device entirely) for cooking smells? we live in a small apartment with no stove hood or vent and i cook every night. i do what i can when i cook certain things (all day braises, fish, lots of garlic, or meat on the stovetop) - i close the door to our bedroom & bathroom, clean as i go, open windows and the kitchen door weather permitting, and febreze right before we go to bed as well as run our diffuser. but with certain foods/preparations i’ll still wake up the next morning and smell last nights dinner which is no longer what i want to smell. reading this deal made me think perhaps something like this might be worth saving up for.
@jerk_nugget Yes, a good-quality air purifier will absolutely help with this. https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-air-purifier/
How big of a space does this work for? One per a room, one per floor, one per house?
@airynne From the specs:“AHAM Verified Room Size: 360 Square Feet”
If your house is only 360 sq ft, then it’s 1 per your house. If your house is 720 sq ft, then it’s 2 per your house. If your house is 1080 sq ft, then it’s 3 per your house. And so on…
tried to buy this three times on two separate devices and Meh keeps erroring out. So much Meh.
You’re better off getting from Costco because they give 2 HEPA filters and 8 pre—filters for $30 more
Costco online says it’s out of stock
Need an air purifier. Badly. Bought.

@eeterrific Hey, if it’s good enough for us, …
Purchased this, came with one true hepa filter and 4 carbon filters. From what I read, that’s a one yr supply.
Works like a dream, super quiet. Debating on purchasing another for my kitchen since I don’t have any ventilation in there.
For anyone who has problem with ticking sound with machine below is a youtube link you can refer to fix the issue.

@kelaiem They fit perfectly in my 5500. I haven’t had to replace the ones in my c535 yet, but they’re supposed to take the same replacements.
