Just an FYI because I know this matters to some people, but this model does have an ionizer.
Per the link above, it emits 16 parts per billion (pbb). Per https://www.nps.gov/subjects/air/...-ozone.htm that's well within the "no cautionary statement" range. See below for the ranges and statements on each from the NPS URL above.

Good (0–54 ppb)
No cautionary statement.

Moderate (55–70 ppb)
Unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.

Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (71–85 ppb)
Children, older adults, active people, and people with lung disease (such as asthma) should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.

Unhealthy (86–105 ppb)
Children, older adults, active people, and people with lung disease (such as asthma) should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors. Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.

Very Unhealthy (106+ ppb)
Children, older adults, active people, and people with lung disease (such as asthma) should avoid all outdoor exertion. Everyone else should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.

I have had this model for a couple years and I've been pretty happy with it. Its super well reviewed (Consumer Reports). I leave it on Auto without really consulting the smart features. Filters are expensive so be aware of that. I use it in the bedroom and am pretty sensitive to noise, it is very quiet on lvl 1 (where it is at most of the time), with no odd clicks or other odd noises Ive gotten from other fans/purifiers.This is a great price! I bought it used for a little bit more and was happy with that cost at the time.

This is a great price. I previously bought 2 of the 580i for $400 a piece 3 years ago. It's a similar model to this but has wheels. They are still going strong and it's great for allergy sufferers. The wifi and app setup was a bit tricky but after a few errors it works. The app has come a long way over the past few years and now it's pretty decent to use. The biggest down side is the cost of filters is $150 for OE or $50 for generics. On the low setting it's quiet but anything more than that is a bit loud. The highest setting is very loud. All in all I'm still buying it again at this price. Thanks

I've had the 403 model in our bedroom since 2012. It's a predecessor model that looks virtually identical to this (think they use the same filters too) and it's still quietly humming along in our bedroom. Works great with no issues at all, but as you mention the filters are expensive. The one's with the activated carbon are hard to find for less than $100. The particle only filters are around $60. We use the activated carbon filters. Technically you're supposed to replace it every 6 months, but I usually push it to 9 months. Particle filter is fine at that point, but the carbon is probably saturated before that.

If I eat a few cans of beans, will this protect my family?

It sounds like this doesn't use a true HEPA filter unless I'm missing something?

They call theirs "HEPASilent" and they say it delivers "HEPA performance" which doesn't really mean anything.

The winix has a lot cheaper filters (even more so buying clones on Amazon) I have both in my house, if you don't need the "smart" features I'd stick with winix.

I've had this for multiple years and really have grown to dislike it. The lowest setting is still too loud for me at night and the highest setting is way too loud. I ended up switching to Levoit purifiers and I'm happier with those. Much quieter and seem to do a great job.

Any chance that it gets cheaper on Prime Day? Or does that not happen with early Prime Day deals?
