I noticed the USA Today article you quoted for this, certainly not a random Internet source. While I am by no means an air purifier expert, I got lost geeking out on this stuff earlier this summer when I became frustrated with some of the games and wording differences the vendors use. For example, they will toss out a random sq.ft rating, but they each seem to pick different room air change rates. To address this, I built out calculations to compare industry-standard CADR rates as an accurate way to actually compare air purifiers.

For the two air purifiers mentioned, the DustMagnet 5210i seems be significantly less efficient than the Winix C545 per below where simply speaking, higher is better (and if someone does consider themselves an expert on this and want to educate me more, please!):

CADR Dust
DustMagnet 5210i CFM:133
Winix C545 CFM:245
DustMagnet 5210i M3/hr: 226.1
Winix C545 M3/hr: 413.1

CADR Smoke
DustMagnet 5210i CFM:137
Winix C545 CFM:246
DustMagnet 5210i M3/hr: 232.9
Winix C545 M3/hr: 418.2


CADR Pollen
DustMagnet 5210i CFM: 140
Winix C545 CFM: 232
DustMagnet 5210i M3/hr: 238
Winix C545 M3/hr: 394.4
I have a blueair purifier. It runs 24/7 and is merely white noise. For the few times in years it has been off for a few days, I can tell the difference in air quality.

My suggestion is to buy one that's rated at a higher square footage than the room this will be sitting in. Since it will be overpowered, you can run it on low and get the minimum amount of noise while enjoying great purification.
The Winix C545 is rated for 360 sq ft is HEPA and on sale for $99 right now at Costco with an extra set of filters included in the price. That's an amazing deal.

As mentioned earlier Costco has the dustmaget for $200 with an extra set of filters which cost $50 so maybe a slightly better price at costco with a better return policy.

A review that compares the dustmaget to a different winix model, the 5500 says

The Blueair Dustmagnet has a faster rate of clearing out particulate matter, such as allergens. The Winix is still pretty good at clearing particulates, but isn't as fast as the Blueair. On the other hand, the Winix is much better than the Blueair at dispersing volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

If you're mostly concerned about allergies, the Blueair Dustmaggnet 5410i is one of the best air purifiers you can buy. If you're looking for more of an all-arounder, or if you work with paint, varnish and other materials that release ample VOCs, the Winix is for you

Got mine today. Two filters were already installed in the unit (just have to pull them out and remove the plastic wrapper). Two more filters are sealed in a separate box on the side. So it needs a pair of filters to work all the time.

Lol you might want to take a look at those studies bud. You would need to have basically every square inch of your room/living space covered in plants to have anything close to a significant effect on reducing VOCs. Unfortunately, they still won't take care of filtering particulate matter, so you'll need a filter regardless for that purpose.

Nooo not the Winix. My dad has a lot of breathing problems so we have a few of these throughout the house (as he loves Costco and buys everything from there). Every one of them makes a horrible loud whining noise. I could see one of them being noisy but all of them? That aside I will note that they do a good job otherwise and catch a ton of dust and pet hair and such. The price is good so if you aren't too bothered by house noisy it is then it's good.
I still run my wac5500 on auto for 8 years virtually nonstop and a 5500-2 for four years now. The noise is audible when it ramps up, for valid reasons for a few minutes which is sort of the point of cleaning bad air. The 5500-2 goes in sleep mode as that was annoying at night though with the wac5500. Also the two I gifted and visit occasionally do not have issues either. Those must have been all bought from a bad batch.

I own four of the Winix c545 all let everyon here know a few things. They really do help with air quality dust etc but every unit I have I leave on 24/7. Each one of these units now make's different noises like whistling or grinding. I have taken apart 3 of the 4 units and tightened every part, nothing fixes the issue. My solution is turning them on turbo and the noise is almost unnoticeable.

Dust magnet? If you open it up, does it just have a nice, black dress shirt in there?

Check the CADR on the lowest setting. Air purification is probably not worthwhile unless you put up with the noise. If you're letting non-filtered air stay in the room for any significant amount of time, why bother getting a machine at all?

Fyi Blue Air is not a true HEPA filter.
IMO deceptive marketing, it also has a built in ionizer they don't mention that can't be shut off (source of ozone air pollution).

Some other brands like the Winix from Costco also have ionizers (plasma wave tech), but at least they can be disabled.

Indoor air quality scientists & experts recommend against Blue Air.

Here's a link for one of the best & cheapest (similar to Winix), it's sold under many different brand names & retailers ~ $61 w/ coupon at Amazon & replacement filters on sale for ~ $15
