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.

How does this compare to the Costco Winix 545 deal last month for $99 w/ 2 years filters? https://www.costco.com/.product.1449587.html?

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).
We have ours running in our bedroom a good 10+ hours a day and the HEPA filter, after about 6 months, was dark, and the air coming out was stinky. Granted, its the two humans and 1 dog in there, so I'm sure we stink it up fairly badly.

Filter price for Costco model is higher and you can probably only find it at Costco. Means if Costco stops offering the filter, you get no substitution

Yes, but you can buy the filters for 5300 which is cheaper.

The filter size for 535 and 5500 are different. I have 5500 and I feel like 535 is much smaller

I have 2 of these and use non-oem filters all the time and they fit perfectly!
I thought the same but it wasn't the case. My room is covered with white dust when i use the 3rd party ones. Even though i see it catches a lot as well. With the OEM filter, i see very little dust in my room.

Do these use the same filters as the 5300 I bought? For some reason I hear the 5300 filters are easier to find (both OEM and Third party) but the ones for this one aren't. They look substantially the same. Do you HAVE to use the washable carbon filter? Or can you use the 5300 one? So this is the one I bought last time.
