Costco Members: Winix C545 True HEPA 4 Stage Air Purifier w/ WiFi + Extra Filter EXPIRED

I'm trying to cancel my 80 dollar refrub order. No response. On the reverse these might be hard to find in store.

Anyone have issues with the fan making squeaking noises? I bought one at Costco a while back and returned it. Wonder if I should try again.

Bought the refurb from woot. WiFi dead on arrival..

What are folks using WiFi for? Does keeping it on "auto" mode not take care of all needs?

I got 2 of the refurbished woot units... one the wifi died and the 2nd the filter was reading 60% even though it appeared new. The 2nd one also will not hit its max fan level.

I'd skip these due to the common issues and how hard it is to find replacement filters

Mine is pretty close to silent as I can expect.

Check the posts from the factory refurb units still having many problems and arriving DOA

I bought their germguardian 2pack for 159.99 last week

Seems slick especially for the people who have to breathe all that bad air due to the fires.

I think this is the model that Woot had within the last few months. I run it every now and then. Especially after we burn something outside. I think it does help a little, although I don't think I have allergies like most people. I think on days I've sneezed a lot, using this seemed to reduce the pollen count or whatever it was that was in the air... since I didn't seem to sneeze so much after running it for a bit.

If I remember correctly, consumerreports said this model or a similar model works best on the high setting... But I wouldn't want to run it that long, because of how much power it would use.

I think for situational usage, this isn't a bad deal... Especially with 2 years of filters. I may eventually try to clean or vacuum my filters outside - to get more life out of them.

Just keep in mind what others have said... this filter type is kind of hard to find. And lots of complaints have been had with the wifi. I bought two units from Woot, and only one of them works with wifi. It works manually though, just can't for one of them adjust settings / turn it on remotely

So many of the wi-fi versions have been returned and turned into refurbs. Sometimes the wi-fi won't connect from the start. Other times, it will connect and then lose the connection days later.

I wish they'd bring back the larger C535 (non-wifi) version.

Highly recommended. Bought this same deal well over a year ago and have been so happy with it. It truly makes a big difference.
