Correct - looking at the "Specs" tab, it comes with 1 filter.

Buying direct from costco is obviously a better deal (brand new, comes with that extra filter for 100), but this isn't too bad if you're unable to wait.
Doesn't ship to California
It can't do miracles. It's a small/medium fan connected to a hepa filter. It does what it can, you won't find another air purifier of this size (at any price level) that will be able to do much better. Maybe try replacing your carbon filter more often and manually setting it on high until you think your room is clearer.

Also it should be noted that while Costco has official filters on sale for $30 there are also generics on Amazon that are less.

Quote from dkhilkev :
This unit generates ozone, which can be unhealthy, especially for people with respiratory issues. That's also why it won't ship to California, the state doesn't allow this product to be sold. Winix brands it as "Plasmawave", but it's just ozone.
lol why did this get a thumbs down? This is the actual answer. Zapping air naturally makes ozone, but it's like a super tiny bit, which is apparently enough for CA to ban on anything that generates ozone. I guess it's better to breathe wildfire air according to our CA overlords.

Source on that? Energy Star says this model emits 0 parts per billion of ozone.

You can buy this model direct from Winix and they will ship to California, there is probably a different reason that Woot won't ship this to California.

I got mine from this deal a few days ago, and it appears to have never been testing after being "refurbished." The motor appears to make an audible "clicking" noise that becomes extremely distracting on lower speeds. Yay to returns.

recently but not currently?

anyway. does this purifier work?

i doubt its working like it advertises because my room is a big stinky room but it still runs at blue light (clean) mode while its set on auto. it was on orange for like 5 min, then swiched to blue clean mode after. i can still see all the fine dust around the purifier in that room. after 3 days running 24/7. i dont see its doing anything. room is still smelly and fine dust is still settle next to it.
It removes a lot of particles. If you keep seeing dust, it's probably skin flakes and dandruff. Most dust is actually skin. Most odors are caused by gasses. It won't do the lords work if you live in a hoarder house.

I have 2 other Winix and they are great machines and can get standard size filters but this one has irregular filters, i retunred it. this is a great price (i paid $130) but the filters suck.

I ordered two of these, the first one was all good, looked brand new, no smell.

The second one had a strong tobacco odor, burn mark on the top, and the filter light was on. I feel like they just dropped a return in the box with some new filters.

YMMV

Went ahead and ordered two. Forest fire smoke is already traveling across the country and reaching the east coast. It's been quite hazy for the last two days.

For those worried about the ionizer (ozone), you can turn that feature off based on the manual.

Ordered three, two arrived DOA. Called Winix to confirm that they will need to be repaired by them, back to Woot they go.

Got them in one day though, so that's cool.
