If you get the Costco Winix on sale for $99 with the additional filters, that's definitely a better deal, but with wildfire season upon us it may be wise to purchase the Coway now.

I have no problem buying manufacturer replacement filters but for some reason the actual Conway brand filters have bad reviews complaining about the same awful smell spanning several years with seemingly no fix from the manufacturer. Most of the aftermarket ones on Amazon had reviews complaining about fitment.
LPT for those who use these air filters: Don't bother with the 'automatic' setting. On a recommendation I found (I think on wirecutter), I just set my filters to one below the max and let them run 24/7. All of mine (winix and conway) have been going for years with no issues. I'll kick them on to max every once in awhile to catch allergens if I'm airing out my house but otherwise there is no need for it to jump around from low to max.
if in a larger space, like an open floorplan, airflow becomes more significant, and id consider the dyson dp01 since it's something that can be sat on a desk and pointed in your direction (even though its overpriced etc).
If you have a bigger room you should either buy a second purifier or buy something like a higher end Blueair or the bigger brother Coway 400.

Especially with Costco:
$100 gives you 2 years with Winix.
Genuine replacement filters go on sale at Costco for as low as $30.
BUT you can buy that new carbon filter separately and fit it into this air purifier with no modification, it has the same dimensions. It's a little tight, but it works. I even kept the flimsy carbon filter in there as a sort of carbon pre-filter.
So really the only thing you're missing on this model is WiFi, which is really just a gimmick in my opinion.

These particles don't float around indefinitely; they leave a person's mouth/nose and travel a finite distance before settling on surfaces at which point the virus soon perishes. That's why masks are fairly effective; they generally don't stop the virus directly but they do slow it down and they therefore travel a shorter distance.
Air filters aren't particularly effective at stopping COVID because, if you're downwind from an infected person, the air filter would need to pretty much be directly between you in order to have a good chance at catching those particles.
As you say though it is better than nothing.

Edit: Just went back and looked at my emails. Got a shipment notification an hour ago and it arrives today. Not much of a delay!
