Our take on the Winix 5500-2 Air Purifier

The Winix 5500-2 is a true HEPA air purifier rated for rooms up to 360 square feet, with a washable pre-filter, an odor-absorbing carbon filter and Winix's PlasmaWave ionizer. It runs at four speeds from a quiet 27 dB to 51 dB, and its CADR of 246 for pollen suits bedrooms and living rooms more than open-plan spaces. It has no app, but it works with Alexa and Google Assistant and includes a remote. The latest best price sits at the low end of its recent range, so it is a good time to buy.
