Different model and also came with 2 years of filters. Best to wait for that deal again for extra filters and Costco warranty, let alone the $99 price.

This is one of the better ones of this price range.

* low power consumption relative to air it can purify.
* good seal between filter means air isn't slipping by unfiltered.
* actual hepa filter. Not hepa-style.
* carbon filter isn't that useless mesh. It's actual carbon pellets with lots of surface area so it will remove more VOC's.


If you get one, make sure to use real filters. Lots of filters out there of unknown quality. Anyone can claim their paper is a hepa filter. At least the winix ones have been tested to actually work. It's pretty pointless to buy something like this then buy a cheap filter and hope it does something.

Should last at least a year with a filter. If you vaccum it out, and don't smoke or live in California wildfire areas, more like 18-24 months.

yup, it is "hurtful" expensive and if you try one of the knockoff filters you just arent going to get a good seal.

in better news, this model comes with the charcoal first stage filter that is washable.

Same coverage 360 sq. ft.

And don't be sold by the "washable carbon filter" in the title here. You still need to replace the HEPA annually.

The Costco one comes with 8 carbon filters and 2 HEPAs. Much easier to replace the carbon than wash each time. (Not 100% but the genuine winix 535 replacement filter (4 carbon, 1 HEPA) goes on sale at Costco for $30).

This is why I like the classic Whirlpool purifiers. The generic replacement filters are of very high quality and cost only $40 or less and include 4 charcoal filter pads.

I have researched for hours and this is the best purifier out there considering the cost. The carbon filter is great and best for off gassing. It is rarely on sale. This should be front page.
