Just a heads up: The capacitor that runs in conjunction with the motor relay on these is very hit or miss.

My unit stopped working after about 100 hours of use, but replacing the cap was extremely easy and faster than going through the warranty process.

WEN will send a new control board under warranty, but it seems rather wasteful if you can fix it with a 20 cent part and a cheap soldering kit.

Will this filter out the bong smoke of my parents basement when I'm playing video games being a complete useless waste of society?

I have one in my garage workshop and it's been great. I do a lot of metal work and grinding so there was always a fine gray film on everything. Adding this above my grinder has cut down on fine dust immensely!

Please continue to wear a respirator or dust mask even with this unit.

I don't do any wood work, but how would one of these work as a general air filter for a garage? Or would it be better just put a regular air filter in there? I mostly want to use it for keeping dust off my gym equipment, especially my treadmill.
No it does not filter the air it's not hepa. This barely removes fine dust from my workshop. It only helps with the super fine dust that suspends in the air in a room that has no airflow

One thing to consider when comparing this to the conventional DIY build using a box fan is that an unimpeded box fan will typically move roughly four times the air relative to this unit's rated flow rate. Now of course you'd be stacking multiple filters in front of the fan but I'd have to assume that the cumulative drop in flow rate associated with, say three filters, would still keep you moving materially more air than this unit.

Mine has a mind of its own turns its self on… annoying have to unplug or have it on switched outlet lame. Tried removing batteries from remote it still happened and I don't have any other remote devices that would trigger it.

I was considering this for a while but I bought a Winix C545 True HEPA 4 Stage Air Purifier w/ Wi-Fi & Additional Filter from Costco a few weeks back for $100. It seems to work well. What's the pros and cons between these two?

Maybe 700 sq ft? I was planning to run it 24/7. I don't keep the garage door open other than to go in and out, so maybe 5 minutes total each day. I don't consider the environment dusty. I think most of the particles are dirt and pollen.
This is both overrated and overpriced. Just opt for this box fan for your need. It takes regular filters that can be found cheap everywhere.

Is this dead? I've been waiting on a deal for this, and I only see $129, which is higher than the low of $114. The link in the op is giving me an error. Thanks.

That's an entirely different class of air purifier.

If you put the Winix in a woodworking area, it would be dead in a month.

At the same time, these shop air purifiers aren't able to trap the same level of particulate matter as the Winix. Plus, they're loud and move way more air.

Sounds like a control board defect.

Could be something simple like a bad solder joint that's expanding and contacting with temperature changes or a bad switch.

WEN will send you a new board if you do a warranty claim and there's instructions on YouTube about what needs to be disassembled.

I built a relatively inexpensive air filtration system for my woodworking shop about 25 years ago using an 18" attic gable vent fan and it runs all day several days a week. I think I got the design from Fine Woodworking but I was a real novice back then and it was pretty easy to make. It moves over 1300 cfm and has four sets of 2-20' filters. Essentially you build 4 20'x2' wood channels that form the 4 corners for the edges of the filters to sliide into. The bottom is a 24" square 3/4' plywood board with 1 1/2' eye hook in each corner. The top is the same except the eye hooks are on the bottom side of the board. Cut a 16" hole with a jigsaw, mount the fan on the top, staple metal screen over the top of the outside (exposed) intake part of the fan, and put a plug for 110. What holds the whole thing together is the following: between the top and bottom eye hook in each corner you need about 8 inches of the chain link you use to hang plants, 2 6" turnbuckles and s hooks to connect to the eyehooks. I mounted the base with lag screws on a side wall as high as my 9 foot ceiling allows (with some open space). Over the years, how I tackled the outrageus cost of filters is I finally bought 4 washable MERV 7 filters for the inside layer (first contact) and then only buy boxes of a dozen when MERV 11 or 13 go on sale at Home Depot. Granted the attic fan was $60 back in the day and I used to buy both sets of filters on eBay in bulk, but especially in the summer the washable filters are a good first filter and they pay for themselves quickly. It's the exposure to the fine dust that stays airborne after you take the mask off that gets ya. You can buy filtration systems that get much closer to hepa level, but they cost a lot. Unfortunately a lot of the places you could slowly build up your shop and find deals on real quality tools, just don't exist anymore. And buying a $600 air filtration system doesn't really make you want to spend the weekend checking out what that new bad boy can actually do.

I've been running one of these in my garage / woodworking workshop for 2 years now and I love it. The filter is easy to vacuum and I haven't needed to replace it yet. Great deal!

To be fair, the best thing you can do is run a decent sized wet/dry vac with proper dust collection attachments at the tool directly. There's even $20 relays that will kick the vac on as soon as the tool is powered up.

Barring that, one big selling point of this air filtration system is that it's portable when you need it to be. Rather than let the dust accumulate in the room, you can simply move this close to the source creating the dust.

Also, did you measure the CFM after installing all those filters or was that just the rated CFM of the fan without restriction?

An HVAC tech will tell you that even so much as an excessive amount of 90° bends will hurt the output, so it's easy to imagine what stacked MERV filters would do.
