I own a Coway Airmega 300 HEPA Air Purifier, 3x Winix C535, 1x Winix 5500-2, and I just bought 2x of this Dyson HushJet.
Here is my opinion:
I run them all 24/7, and inside bedroom also.
At fan 1, all of them are super quiet, but only generate weak airflow.
Running all of them at fan 2, HushJet was about as quiet as C535/5500-2, but Dyson blows slightly more air given the noise. Airmega 300, on the other hand, is too noisy to be put into a bedroom, or during I watch TV, but has the strongest air flow.
Filter cost:
Hushjet's Electrostatic filter is said to be able to last 5 years ($65) (I plan to vacuum it every quarter), while its carbon filter ($45) lasts 6-12 months. Totally: ~60 a year.
- The catch: if you're like me, no pet, no smoke, no smell at home, and only need to change the Electrostatic filter, it drops to ~$13 a year, or $22 if you change both every 5 years.
C535/5500-2 ~30 a year with geniune filters.
Airmega 300: ~90 a year with geniune.
Note: I don't use sleep mode or auto mode. I need them quiet to work through the night.
Conclusion:
For my use case, at this price, I expect the total cost to drop lower than C535 and 5500-2 over multiple years. Moreover, I also hope that Dyson's fan bearings will be able to last longer than WInix.
