In summary, if you have a 5500-2 or one of its siblings like the C535 the differences are that:
Disclaimer, some of these might be incorrect. Do your own research before you buy. Feel free to correct any of the things below by replying to this thread.
1. The 5500-2 has slightly better performance, 23 vs 26 minutes to clean the room.
2. The T810/830 uses less power, on average $46 vs $54ish per year.
3. The 5500-2 has separate carbon and Hepa filter. The T810/830 is a 1 in all filter. The 5500-2 has the carbon pellets washable filter. The C535 has the impregnated carbon filter that needs to be changed every 3 months. The T810/830 also uses a built in carbon impregnated filter, not sure if you have to change it every 3 months or once a year as unlike the C535 where the carbon and Hepa filters are separate, the T810/830 filter seems to be all in one and from what I saw it said only to change it once per year. From what I saw online the pellets filters seem to perform better than the impregnated carbon filters.
4. The 5500-2 and C535 filters are cheaper to replace at the moment. Both, the T810/830 and the 5500-2/C535 have third party cheaper filters than the OEM ones available on Amazon. However, it is easier to find cheap OEM filters for the 5500-2/C535.
5. The T810/830 has a 360 degrees desing with a cylindrical filter. The 5500-2/C535 is a flat design with a rectangular filter.
6. The T810/830 is smaller design and some might say a better look than the 5500-2/C535, but some might think differently.
7. The T810/830 has wifi and a smartphone app. The 5500-02/C535 do not have wifi.
8. The T810/830 plasmawave was generating slightly higher amount of bi-polar ions than the 5500-2/C535.
9. The T810/830 has a air particles sensor which the 5500-2/C535 doesn't have and displays a numerical value of the air quality. The 5500-2/C535 uses a "gas sensor" instead and shows just a visual indication of air quality. Red, yellow, and blue where red is bad and blue is ok.
10. On the highest speed level the T810/830 seems to be produce more noise and be louder than the C535/5500-2. I doubt this is a deal breaker as it is the 5500-2/C535 is very loud already at max speed.
11. The 5500-2/C535 have been discontinued in some markets. You can still buy them though from some retailers. Winix will continue to sell filters for them till around 2035, not to mention that there are 3rd party filters options available.
12. There where some complaints about the T810/830 not having illuminated buttons, making it hard to change the settings in the dark. To my recollection the 5500-2/C534 don't have illuminated buttons either, just the air quality status bar and the speed which isn't enough light to make out that button is what. The T830/810 has the smartphone app to mitigate this and the 5500-2/C535 come with a remote control that in my opinion make that complaint not an issue.
In summary the way I see it is that if you can find a 5500-2 or one of it's siblings at a similar price than this deal, that might be a better option mainly because of the the cheaper filters. That is unless where you live has a very high electricity cost.
In the other hand, for this price the T830 is a good deal too. The performance difference isn't that much and hopefully the filter prices might fall down eventually.
