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

I bought the Costco only and very happy ,it can filter my full house compared to my winix 535 which is only good for one room ,if your sensitive to high air flow do not get to use in your room even on low its too much for me
Which one did you get from Costco? looking to get one that can filter my living room + kitchen (i have winix 535 already, and that's only good for one room)

If you dont have any allergies or physical conditions can this help overall health?

Meaning has it been prove that healthy people get sick because they dont use these filters even when they change their central air filters regularly with quality filters?

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.
Was this from costco or blueair?

How does this compare to the Blueair 121?
We bought the 121 from Costco and it is HUGE. Way bigger than we thought, and unlike the 5410i you can't use it as a side table, it just takes up space. Also, it's much louder than I though it'd be, even on low it's got an audible drone to it and you can even hear a slight fan wobble if you get close. When the TV is off you can hear it across the room pretty easily, unlike our old Winix 5500 which is basically silent in comparison.

Going to return it and try the 5410i instead.

Just a heads up if you're purchasing directly from their website: Their customer service is abysmal. My unit arrived defective (broken pieces of plastic keep falling out of it and it makes some noise). Tried calling and was on hold for too long so I sent an email with order number, pictures, and everything. Got an email a week later asking for additional info to see if I'm "eligible for a warranty exchange"...for a product I just bought.

Edit: took almost 2 weeks for resolution, but they ended up shipping out a replacement unit and told me to dispose of the old unit.

I am an air quality scientist/professional. Believe me or don't idc really, but…

Mostly good & accurate info from what I see in the stickied ones. However caveat emptor- most consumer-grade air cleaners (as all the aforementioned are) do very little for VOC (volatile organic compound) mitigation. The amount of carbon included in the those filters are more or less inconsequential beyond abatement of odors. Even at that, they are really only good for something in the range of a month of 24x7 use on the lowest setting. In other words, aint doin much for VOCs.

If you want something with significant VOC abatement and mot needing to dump in 2x the price of the unit in carbon filters alone every year,
a common solution with good results and still moderately affordable is the Austen Healthmate & Healthmate Jr. No affiliation, they just work.

That said, ANY form of HEPA filtration is going to be the most important part of residential indoor air quality for you & your family. So do not take this post as dissuasive. Mostly just commenting for the VOC aspect.

(side note, most important thing to do for residential VOC pollution is to look up what is causing the VOC emissions in your home, and avoid those products / eliminate them. Check SouthCoastAQMD or Hess Score, even EWG)

For those interested in debunking my internet professor claims, Richard Corsi has some good info related to this field. As does the "homechem" collaborative project at UT. And also the "scientific data findings resource bank" out of Lawrence Berkley National Lab.

I know you're trying to be helpful but this was informative and super uninformative at the same time. I have no idea what you are trying to say.

Can somebody tell me which way the filters go in? There's nowhere in the instructions that tell you which direction the air filter should face
