Costco is selling new online for $99.99 after $30 off
Costco bundle comes with 2 extra sets of filters which is $60 when they go on sale. So you're only paying $40 for a brand new unit from Costco compared to $65 for a refurb.

From the previous deal on the 5500-2, this was shared: https://slickdeals.net/f/17371872-winix-5500-2-true-hepa-plasmawave-air-purifier-w-odor-reducing-carbon-filter-128-free-shipping?p=169908972#post169908972

I have both.
1. C545 is smaller than 5500-2.
2. C545 has wifi and 5500-2 does not.(I use to schedule to turn on and off)
3. 5500-2 has a remote, C545 does not. (never use the remote)
4. C545 filters aren't that thick compare to 5500-2.
5. 5500-2 black filter is washable. C545 is not.
6. I bought the extra pet hair filter and stick it in 5500-2 for another layer. So it catches more dust.

Overall, i think 5500-2 is better.

5500-2 used to come with a remote. The ones I ordered 2-3 years ago came with the remote, but the one I ordered a week ago didn't come with the remote and it's not on its packing list either.

I bought two last year after the fires in Canada were making the air quality very bad in many places in the US. They work well, but the wifi will randomly stop working for days or weeks at a time. I stopped going through the setup process repeatedly to fix it for a short while because it's just not worth the time it takes.

Quote from nudda :
wifi on these always die. Buyer beware. Otherwise a great airfilter.
My research led me to this conclusion as well. The WiFi chip gets hot and eventually unsolders itself from the circuit board. I'm not brave enough to open up the thing to put a heat sink on the WiFi chip to prevent this situation.

Bought a non-WiFi model and it is superb for the price. Instead of buying generic filters my deal alerts here on Slickdeals notify me when there's a sale on genuine filters which fit like a glove and get the job done thoroughly.

Check with your local energy provider. You may be able to get a rebate for the purchase of a air purifier unit like this and others as long as they are energy star efficient certified. I purchase 2 of these refurbished last year and received $35 each back in Visa gift cards. So total of $70 rebate.. I think I paid $60 a piece directly from Winix website last year.

My home is 1500 sq feet. A one in the living is enough for entire home or due to walls, it goos only for a specific area ? Also do you keep it running 24/7 ?

Quote from luo2010 :
I suggest getting it from Costco because of extra filter.
If you are in New England area, utility company may also have additional rebates somewhere around $40 if I remember correctly.

This is true. I used the rebate program last year and I received gift cards back. Also they give you a rebate for AC units too

Been using two of these for 3-4 years. We bought one from Costco and then another a year later. One is in the bedroom and one in the living room. We change the filters per the suggestions and vacuum the mesh screen monthly'ish. One of them is connected to Home Assistant and we can control it that way. Mostly, one runs on auto and the other is on a schedule for the bedroom and runs at 75% every night and at 100% if anyone is napping because of the white noise it creates. Wi-Fi works on both and we've had no motor noise. Very happy with them

Bought a refurbed Winix from woot years ago. Still going strong, besides being pretty loud. Bearings started going bad a while ago. Took it apart to find it's a sealed motor

It's meant for a room slightly under 400 ft, so no 1 alone will not cover 1500 sq ft

Thanks OP. Bought one from Costco since it came with 2 years of filters. I have a old Sharp air cleaner that works great but the filters need to be replaced and they cost almost as much as this new unit. And I'm sure this is better power wise as the old one is going on 8 years now.

you better update your message - its two years of filters - one and one extra, total two. your message implies its three filters, main and two spares.

i think you are confusing with 5300. 5300 does not have remote. 5500 does have remote. I just bought from Amazon and 5500 has remote.
Although receiver is garbage - it reacts to signal from several unrelated remotes.

One other thing - if annoyed by the beeps and other noise, it is relatively easy to open this unit and unsolder the buzzer. No need to replace it with a bypass or resister, I confirmed the unit works with the buzzer unsoldered.
