When these were $50-$80 a pop, I'd agree and probably go with a generic/off-market at $20. But at just $35 (i.e. just $15 more, for 12 months' use), I'm not risking inferior quality and effectiveness to save just $1.25 a month. I'm getting the real thing from Winix itself, with an actual vetted/certified True HEPA, and factory grade Winix washable Carbon filter with full pellets and not from a knockoff process. Many off-market filters are sold as HEPA filters but are not actually HEPA-certified.

For the air I (and those around me, both humans and pets) breathe every single day, it's worth it to me to spend the extra $1.25 a month ($15 for the year) to KNOW that I'm getting the full use and efficiency out of a Winix air purifier the way it was meant to be used. It's just a once a year "investment" for airway health, so I'll gladly go with the vouched name brand and not risk the air I am breathing to a generic filter from a possibly poor-quality-control maker just to save a few dollars. In the end it's your decision though.

Generic drugs go through then same certifications the name brands one go through. False UL and HEPA claims you should know by now runs rampant on Amazon.

I see a limit of 3 from my end (screenshot attached). Perhaps you ordered 2 of them from them before?

Wish I could help you with those; I have C545 as well (two of them from Costco) and have yet to see good Genuine filter deals on them recently.

Same. It's kind of mind boggling that the entire system plus 2 sets of replacement filters cost $100, meanwhile 2 filters alone cost $80

I love that winix keeps filters backwards compatible with old models. I've been using a WAC5300 for 12 years straight, 24/7
