I have purchased 5 of these, with three being refurbished through woot, one refurbished through the manufacturer and one new and all have performed and looked identical and new. I've had them for around 2-3 years now and all are still performing well without any issues.

got one of these off Woot! the last time and am happily adding a second one for my family room to cut down pet dander and smells.

the sensor will kick on for bad smells and you can feel free to test it alone or with your friends & family by farting directly on it and have the light change as it goes from stable blue light to panicked red.

one piece of advice is when using replacement filters it's not clear how to reset the monitor for the app - it's a small pin hole on the button panel on the right you can access with a sharp object like a sim ejector and press for 5 seconds when it's powered off but plugged in.
I bought 1 of these from Costco brand new and 2 from a Woot refurbished deal about 2-3 years ago. 2-3 years later, all three of their motors started making high pitched noises. Pretty sure it's the bearings failing.

The one I got from Costco was covered under a 2-year warranty, and they sent me a brand new replacement unit. The other 2 that were refurbished Woot units only had 1 year warranty, and the manufacturer refused to replace those.

Yeah, the filters operated very quietly when I bought them, but if you have them running 24/7, just know that after 2-3 years, the motors will start making noises.
1 extra HEPA and 4 carbon filters are $45 when not on sale, so this is essentially the same price as Costco, but Costco is brand new and this one is refurbished.

Urgent question: Does this remove food cooking/odor? My parents cook lot of oily or spicy food and like to know if this would take away the smell stored inside the kitchen and not spread.

Thank you
I rent so can't install range hood. I bought a smaller counter top air purifier. Put it next to the stove and it gets rid of the cooking smells

Installed carbon filter in place of metal screen under microwave, it come as a sheet at Amazon, you cut it to the size of original metal screen filter. It will last more than 2 months but it will mostly remove cooking order as i experienced it. I had try Blue Air bigger unit, but it did not help much, only carbon filter above the cooking area helped, mine air fan exhaust out to the wall type.The sheet can make 3 to 4 filters.

Quote from warsheep :
thats what i dont understand too. why should this be costco specific.

i think this is more important:


You must be a current ComEd residential delivery service customer.
2. Appliance must be purchased by December 31, 2023.
3. Application must be submitted within 60 days from purchase date or by February 29, 2024, whichever comes first.
4. Each ComEd residential service customer is limited to six air purifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation fans and water dispensers.
5. Appliance must be ENERGY STAR certified and meet the above stated requirements to qualify for a rebate. This excludes induction cooktops.
6. ENERGY STAR certified appliances must be new and purchased in Illinois, or the buyer must demonstrate having paid the applicable Illinois
sales and use tax.
7. The rebate paid will not exceed the purchase price (excluding taxes, shipping and installation charges) of the appliance.
8. Rebate eligibility requirements are subject to change without notice, including early termination of this promotion.

I dont think it's costco specific, yet #6 specifys it must be purchased new. I don't think refurbished is considered new and YMMV with the rebate.

I wanted to buy all 6 and basically get the $10 each, not going to take a chance though.

Good deal. Purchased mine for $70 from winix site a little over a year ago. Just swapped the filter and it appears to be doing a good job. I don't run it 24/7. Just when I am at home.

Can you share the link to what you used? I'd think they would be too restrictive and all the oils etc would start blocking it further

For anyone in the PA area who bought this Air Purifier for $99.99 at Costco, there is also a $25 PECO EnergyStar rebate for it as well! You can apply for it here: https://www.pecoeeportal.com/part...sDiscounts

A few years ago it was $50! I was bummed they halved the rebate.

I have bought about 5 of these over the last few years. The fan motors in all of them start getting really noisy after about a year of constant use. I even took one apart to lube up the motor. It's not so bad for a living room or kitchen where noise is expected but it was way too loud for my bedroom. None of my C545s are quiet enough to go in there anymore.

Would the Costco $99 deal be better if it includes 2 HEPA and 8 carbon filters? I'm seeing HEPA filters that are quite expensive.

Link to that product?or is it instore only?
