1/23/2025 Update: The XLC model just went on sale for $175 and I added the information at the bottom of the post. This one seems to have much better reviews.
Normal sale is about 30-50% off and this is their biggest unit for large room. The 2.4 out of 5 rating doesn't look good and the main complaints has been the filter stop working between 2.5 to 3 years and no support from Winix. Some buyers traced to power supply issue, but they can't find schematic or parts support even if they want to fix it themselves. Here's one article on the power supply issue

Here's a Youtube video on how to identify and replace the bad diode on the power supply [youtube.com] I'm putting here for future reference if we ever need to fix it. Might as well start looking for a 100V diode now (the guy replaced it with a 40V diode).
I took a chance at $250 and going to see if I can buy a warranty on this filter.
Things to consider: filter replacement recommended every 12 months for OEM filter and it cost $190 (currently on sale for $171) at winix.com and 3rd party goes for $49 to $76 on Amazon.
