This hasn't sold for $250 since July '21. I just bought this November 2024 for $126. It's a fine enough air purifier and would buy it again.

This is a fairly good air purifier, but most of them don't actually use much carbon in their filters if you're in an area dealing with fires. I would get multiple air purifiers if you can.

Got this in 2022 for $117. Does great job. Pellets are premium in my opinion. Hard to find other filters that offer that.

These will help with pet allergies, but keep in mind you'll want to run it constantly and not just keep it on auto. For that reason, sometimes it's better to go with something like a PC fan based air purifier which keeps the volume down.

Check to see if your home energy provider offers any EnergyStar rebates. I bought two Winix C909 from Costco in Nov and was able to claim a $50 rebate for each of them through my provider Comed.

You can buy a new motor online. Somebody successfully replaced the bearings in on but it isn't built for that so ya hit and miss whether you would be successful the way the computer board is installed in the motor

I just took one apart and the bearings were making noise. Ending up throwing it away
