The Winix C535 is a long running True HEPA purifier that stands out for durability, strong filtration, and simple operation. The prefilter catches a lot of dust and helps protect the HEPA, and the larger Filter A cartridges are said to last well and often go on sale. The C535 also avoids the C545 WiFi feature, which is described as unnecessary, while matching it on air cleaning, noise, and power use. The main cautions are filter compatibility, since C535 and C545 filters are not interchangeable, and some units can develop motor noise after years of heavy use. A solid pick if you want a proven, no frills purifier with the right filters on hand.

  • The C535 can keep running near-continuously for years without failing, based on long-term use reports.

  • The C535 filter type is supported by third-party carbon and HEPA replacements, which can help with ongoing maintenance options.

  • The C535 often benefits from more frequent sales on genuine Filter A, which can lower long-term filter costs.

  • The C535 prefilter can help capture debris and protect the HEPA filter, which may improve practical day-to-day performance.

  • The C535 uses Filter A/21 and filters are not interchangeable with the Costco C545's Filter S, so model confirmation is required.

  • The C535 motor can develop squealing noise after a couple of years, which may require a replacement if the sound becomes annoying.

  • The C535 may share a motor bearing wear issue seen on older Winix models, and repairs can be difficult due to required tools.

  • A refurbished option can arrive in fair condition, so it may be better to pay extra for a new unit if condition matters.

Nope.. got it today.. its brand spanking new ..in a brand new sealed box... trying to attach a picture of it slickdeal not allowing me to . I will be happy to email it though to anyone interested.
What do you mean "nope?" The listing on Walmart you posted says "fair" condition /refurbished. You may have gotten lucky and gotten a "new" one but even as your initial post says, these are "refurbished." Probably should have put YMMV in your post, as when you buy something refurbished like this it's truly YMMV…

This looks like the last Gen version of the 5510. Which the 5510 placed first in project farm testing. But I read a lot of the Amazon reviews that said it didn't hold up even a year. So not sure. Lol

This is same as the older Winix 5300, 5500 models. I own one. One not that uncommon issue is the electric motor ball bearings doesn't last very long. Mine developed grinding sound after several years of use, and I traced it down to the motor bearings. There are guides in the net on how to replace those bearings (need to open the motor). However, it needed special tool and too much trouble for me, so I didn't do it. For $110, it's probably worth a gamble.

Working for me. The 535 is by far the best Winix ever made.
Is the C535 better than the 5510?

I only have the 535s, many of them, all great, all running 27/7 for 6+ years, almost always on high speed manually (not auto) and all running great.

The motor in this will start squealing after a couple of years. I had one running pretty 24x7 but had to replace it due to the noise becoming annoying after awhile.
