We ended up buying another C535 from Winix directly for even cheaper.

I have speculation but the fan blades may be much larger meaning it can move more air at slower speeds, meaning it would be a quieter unit.
I'll buy one and check it out.
This is twice as deep basically at over 16" and is CADR rated for basically the same room size?
Wondering what gives here, I would think it has to cycle more air being much deeper at least, and is WIFI compared to my "dumb" 5500-2. I think my biggest regret of the 5500-2 is that there's no child lock feature and our 21 mo old has to touch it every morning they come into our room....
Got a Winix C610 for living room and that is also WIFI and has a child lock feature which is great with the kid. Was $100 as well on sale at costco (back up to $130 now).
The price of around $150-160 is fair for CADR of 350 range and this is a quality apparatus
Turned my Plasmawave off (soft) vs. doing the hardware.

I'm a fan of the Coway Airmega 200M / AP-1512 models, and I've tried a large variety. I also have several CR boxes.
Other Winix models I've had, like the 5500-2, are not nearly as well rounded as this version. The WiFi & app options alone make it worth it, but I've also had issues with other Winix models making a noise after a while and become intolerable.
I have purchased about 5 or 6 of these over the years and have had zero issues.
I'd recommend this air purifier to absolutely anyone
Anyway, just my 2¢

However, I turn off the "PlasmaWave" function, as these types of functionalities added to air purifiers usually generate ozone and are harmful to respiratory health. But I think it's the case that these features may also help with dust collection?
Anyway, I mention that so that you can take my neutral assessment with a grain of salt (i.e. if you enable PlasmaWave, maybe you get more dust collection)
So ya, sorry, I don't have a good answer for you. But I think it helps a good deal with dust.
It looks like the C909 can move more air versus the 500 series units.
From winixamerica.com:
C909:
AHAM Verifide® at 500 sq ft. : Also cleans rooms up to 2,420 sq ft in 1 hour (1,210 sq ft in 30 minutes, 807 sq ft in 20 minutes, 605 sq ft in 15 minutes)
C535 & C545 have the same stats:
AHAM Verifide® at 360 sq ft. : Also cleans rooms up to 1,740 sq ft in 1 hour (870 sq ft in 30 minutes, 580 sq ft in 20 minutes, 435 sq ft in 15 minutes)
FYI winixamerica.com has the C909 refurbished at $120, but out of stock and only includes one set of filters. Costco's C909 deal includes 2 sets:

Stayed for 2 weeks in a house that had a few of these and wasn't sure if it made any difference.

I just saw the one article and did a little reading; maybe the article is fear mongering but am considering this unit just to be safe. It's a bit creepy on the timing because I was just looking for an air filtering type fan/unit. This is an Air PURIFIER so even better! Slickdeals is home to a lot of resident experts. Will be in for one as soon as I get the community's blessing!
