Good deal, but the previous price for same model at Costco for $200 included two filters. Not sure if this one does.

Looking at the recent reviews, someone mentioned that it included 1-year of filters, so I'm assuming that means 2 extra filters.

I see its main benefit is for Data monitoring. Even when the fan is off, the device is tracking how air quality changes and that can give you insight of the reasons that cause your house's air quality to worsen. For some, it might be useful to turn it on an hour before they get home. Also, it enables you to use a voice assistant to turn it off and on.
It is definitely an unnecessary feature, as it doesn't help achieve its core function. But It is probably a marketing feature and also a way for the company to improve monetization. An app will probably push filter subscriptions. I am going to research privacy concerns with this product because of all this data being created. I have a suspicion that they could be selling data to the data brokers.

I've had this unit for 18 months in the front room. Used the app with the wifi to program it to come on turbo speed from 2am to 4am then go down one speed from 4 to 6 then go down to quieter speed for the rest of the day. We have two cats an its amazing how much hair is in the prefilter I clean every few weeks.

Remember that you can always use them without activating the WiFi feature

I wonder if this unit uses the same filters that I already have my old Winix 5300-2. Looks like it might. I've had it for a bit over 5 years & I'm a little bummed because lately its fan has been getting louder - sounds like the bearings are going. Been thinking about getting a new one.

...but now that I've done a quick search, there are several vids bearing replacements and it uses standard 608ZZ bearings which I just happen to already have around. Suppose I'll give that a shot before dropping $165.
Edit: Easier said than done, looks like it'll require some desoldering to get to one of the bearings. I can probably manage but not a quick/easy fix.

For me, it helps integration with other devices in the home. By using home assistant or Alexa, I have ecobee thermostats, air purifiers and Amazon air quality meter integrated together. If the air quality meter detects worse air quality, it signals the air purifier to start at high, tells ecobee to start fresh air ventilation from outside throughout the home and announce that the air quality is not good on the echo devices throughout the house. That way, just two air purifiers working with the ventilation fan can clear the air within minutes.

This one or Daikin? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5JWVJTD
Get this one, the Daikin is no longer on sale. The Winix C909 is also more powerful and covers a much larger room area (500 sq ft vs 350 sq ft, it's better to go over than under). The main thing the Daikin had going for it was the 50% off price and built-in evaporative humidifier (if you needed one).

The C909 from Costco comes with 2 years of filters, and the return policy can't be beat if you happen to need it.

Can anyone compare this and 5510 that I got it for $105?

C909 is generally more powerful, featuring a higher CADR (267 CFM vs 253 CFM) and better coverage for larger spaces, while the 5510 is a quieter, more compact, and newer design. I'm returning my 5520 for this deal because of sq ft coverage.

I can see the filter status and crank the fan up or down from anywhere. Necessary? No. But cool.

I picked up a Daikin MCB70YSAU about a week ago at 50% off ($67 or so). It's pretty big and looks like an office appliance, but I don't mind.
It's quiet most of the time, but something feels a bit off?! or maybe it's just me since this is my first air purifier?! It doesn't seem like it's pushing much air.
One second the sensor says the air is clean, the next it goes crazy and the fan ramps up for a couple of minutes, then it goes quiet again. Is that normal?
Just wanted to see if this is normal behavior for a device like this. Thanks.

Turbo (247CFM), Standard (124CFM), Low (78CFM), Quiet (57CFM)
Room Size: 350 ft2
Smoke CADR: 226
Dust CADR: 227
PM2.5 CADR: 226
Pollen CADR: 230
