Top Comments
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
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.
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

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?

Going to return it and try the 5410i instead.

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.
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.
