WINIX AM80 Air Purifier for Home Large Room Up to 1740 Ft² in 1 Hr With Air Quality Monitor, True HEPA, Advanced Odor Control Carbon Filter and Auto Mode, Captures Pet Allergies, Smoke, Dust

LOVE this purifier. I bought it after using one we have at a machine shop. Super quiet, I don’t even know it’s on except for the light indicator. I like the different settings but I especially love the automated filtering. It will kick on higher automatically if it senses the air quality is bad to quickly purify the air. I love the indicator that tells you how bad the air is. At work we leave the room if the indicator turns red until it is safe to return after the machine is done purifying and turns blue again. It will also indicate when it is time for a replacement filter. I’m very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this Winix AM80 air purifier to replace a BlueAir 411 Auto. I was tired of always cleaning that annoying cloth filter on the BlueAir, plus taking that purifier apart to change the filters and reassembling is such a pain. Also, the BlueAir sensor sucks as it only a handful of times in four years ever increased the speed or showed a light other than blue. This Winix air purifier is SUCH a huge upgrade. The product is substantial and very well made. Installing the filters was a breeze and the buttons/app work great. Regarding the PlasmaWave feature, go to the Winix website as the Amazon page doesn’t describe this in detail. The charcoal filter can be washed plus only needs to be replaced once per year at the same time as the HEPA filter. The sensors on this Winix air purifier are very sensitive and are constantly ramping up the airflow and turning amber or red. I feel like this is the first air purifier I've bought that actually works! I did a side-by-side comparison of air movement with the BlueAir 311 Auto and the Winix AM80 is about twice as powerful....moves double the amount of air. On the lowest setting there is a slight hum from the unit but it's barely noticeable. Regarding the auto sleep function - the Amazon website doesn't describe this well. The purifier will go into sleep mode ONLY if it's set to Auto and the lights are turned off. If you have the purifier set to a higher speed (meaning not in Auto mode) it will NOT go into sleep mode if you turn the lights off. So for those looking for something that moves a lot of air or creates white noise to sleep, this is for you! Of note is the fact that the blue/amber/red light will not dim unless it's in sleep mode so if the light bothers you while trying to sleep, you'll likely need to turn the purifier away so it's not shining in your eyes. Lastly, before purchasing this I did research for a medical-grade air purifier. IQAir, NuWave and Austin Air were the ones I was considering. In reading online reviews, these products all work similarly, just the aforementioned ones are needlessly expensive (and ugly!). Getting a HEPA filter that can remove contaminants down to .003 microns is what is important and the Winix does this! Of note is the Amazon websites for the Winix products give misleading numbers regarding the actual microns...it states both .001 and .3. Look on the Winix website at either the product page or their filter replacement page for the AM80 and you'll see that the accurate number of the HEPA filter is .003 microns. Get this product, it's affordable, elegant, powerful, and actually works!

Works as intended, easy to use and set up (took 5 min). The filters are really easy to maintain and very cost effective. Its very quiet, especially on sleep mode, and will be noticeable (not annoying at all) once it really needs to kick up (which has been very rare). Its design is compact and looks really nice. Doesnt attract any attention. Its light can be seen, isnt annoyingly bright, and turns off once it's in sleep mode (automatically goes into it once i turn off the light)

I purchased a used WINIX AM80 Air Purifier, and overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase! The unit arrived in good condition, though there were a few minor cosmetic scuffs, which is expected from a used product. It also didn't come in the original packaging, but it was packed well. Setup was quick and easy, and it started working immediately. Performance-wise, this air purifier does a fantastic job at removing dust, pet dander, and odors. The PlasmaWave technology is a nice touch, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in air quality in our living room. The auto mode and smart sensor adjust the fan speed based on air quality, which is really convenient. It's almost silent, and you would never know it's on. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the pre-installed filter showed signs of prior use, and I had to replace it sooner than expected. If you’re buying used, I recommend checking the filter right away. Other than that, it runs quietly and efficiently, making it a great budget-friendly choice! Would definitely recommend it if you're looking to save some money on a reliable air purifier. 🚀

This is a phenomenal air purifier. We have used it in our downstairs family and utility rooms which can sometimes have musty odors, my wife is very sensitive to smells. This unit clears the air of these odors in a very short time and keeps the air fresh for an extended period of time It is very quiet and energy efficient and the filters appear to have a long life.

I have 3 Winix, the AM80, 5500-2, and D480. The AM80 is identical to the 5500-2 other than the look. Not positive that it's the same motors/sensors but it sounds the same and reacts to things in the air. If I open a small bottle of nail polish on the other side of the room they spin up and spin down at roughly the same times. Although the D480 is rated for larger spaces, it doesn't use the activated carbon pellets and odor control goes downhill quickly. The AM80/5500-2 seem to last a month or so before performance tapers off. Washing the filters doesn't seem to do anything to restore performance, it just cleans the dust off. If you want odor control you'll be replacing the carbon filters fairly often. For the price these are hard to beat. If you have serious allergies or need to remove heavy VOCs then you'll need to look at more expensive filters. However these perform well enough for your average person as long as you're using them for the intended amount of space.

Wish I had bought two while they were still available.

I looked up some articles and did a little research on air purifiers that are better specifically for pets. A research article found this one to be the best for pet hair, actually pulling the synthetic pet hair out of the air that they used to test. I have had one now for a month and I absolutely love it. Perfect design for practicality, has several filters and even a screen that catches the hair and bigger objects before they hit the filter - you can clean this much easier. The front is magnetic and super easy to open and close. It’s decently quiet and the big deal breaker is any plastic ticking or rubbing noises and this has none! Only loud on turbo mode and it’s still not that loud. I kind of want 2 honestly. It even has huge slits on both sides and below the front to pull in huge clumps of hair if they’re nearby or drifting by. I’m telling you it’s perfect for pets.
