Winix Zero+ Pro 5 Stage Air Purifier

This unit is easy to use. It was a bit disconcerting hearing the Plasmawave doing its job at first but as it worked on the air quality in the room that changed for the better. The unit is effective and quiet on sleep mode which it automatically switches to when the lights are dimmed. It is rated at 55 dBA but it is only at this level on Turbo fan mode which is rarely used and is selected manually. It is hardly noticed when running on Auto except if we have an influx of poor quality air when the indicator light changes exactly in sync with our comfort regarding breathing which quickly eases as the unit works harder to clean the air for us automatically adjusting throughput effectively. Filters are easy to insert but the animal dander filter needs to have the adhesive ... MoreThis unit is easy to use.

After reading all the the great reviews on several websites I made the decision to buy this purifier and I have to say it worked wonders first go. My delivery was super quick it was delivered 3 days after I ordered it. My 17yr old put it in her room the first night, she suffers from dust allergies so lots of sneezing and itchy throat etc when she woke up not one sniffle or clearing of the throat like she normally does and she looked refreshed and she said her room didn't smell bad anymore lol, she then came home from school and said it was the first time she hasn't been tired at school. Second night hubby and I had it in our room and I woke up refreshed as I wasn't woken by my husbands constant loud snoring his snoring was much better, he also woke feeling refreshed ... MoreAfter reading all the the great reviews on several websites I made the decision to buy this purifier and I have to say it worked wonders first go.

We have put it in each room with each of the kids and all awesome results. I am super happy with my purchase and I will definitely be buying another unit, as clean as we are I can't believe how much dust and allergens are actually in the air. I definitely recommend this product.

There isn't much to discuss when it comes to air purifiers. It purifies air, what else do you want? I truthfully wouldn't say this is the best in the world or on the global market. BUT IT IS the best you can buy in Australia and for it's price is well justified in its performance! (Based on 2 months of non-stop usage).TL;DRGOOD: Air purification is great, Features are basic but all are useful. Cleaning machine is easy, Plasmawave 2.0 is effective for both pets and people.BAD: Plastic construction is a little clunky but overall is built well, Carrying handle on back is small, No wireless functionalities (UK version has wifi built in).FULL REVIEW:Controls are pretty basic. The top has a control panel which operates the On/Off, Timer, Child lock, Cleaning ... MoreThere isn't much to discuss when it comes to air purifiers. It purifies air, what else do you want?

Cleaning machine is easy, Plasmawave 2.0 is effective for both pets and people.BAD: Plastic construction is a little clunky but overall is built well, Carrying handle on back is small, No wireless functionalities (UK version has wifi built in).FULL REVIEW:Controls are pretty basic. The top has a control panel which operates the On/Off, Timer, Child lock, Cleaning modes: auto, sleep and fan speed. Scent and Particulate sensors can be found on the front and top with a dust sensor on the left side. It has no wireless functionality, but it's not really necessary unless you really care about the little things. However without the flashy stuff, this air purifier is plenty powerful and super effective. It can purify cooking odur, dust and pet dander from my jointed kitchen and living room in just 5 minutes with the turbo mode on. I do recommend the Auto mode to be turned on when using the machine for long periods. The light indicator up front is also relatively accurate for an idea of your air quality at a glance and the light sensor up top works very well (a white circle on the control panel that makes the purifier enter sleep mode when the lights are dim).I have heard that some people have issues with the light sensor, with it being overly sensitive and shutting off with minimal changes in light. However I have not had this problem. Saying that if your unit does end up playing dumb, contact Ausclimate or Appliances Online and they will be happy to assist you.THE BIGGEST feature is the new Plasmawave 2.0 tech and it is famtastic! This latest iteration which CANNOT be found in other Winix products, (as of this review), is suppose to also help with destroying common pet viruses along with the usual VOD's that can be harmful for humans. The previous iteration could only do the latter. I can say that it works a charm as it not only made the air more breathable, but it also HELPED with clearing up my cats calicivirus infection as her symptoms were less severe with the plasmawave function on. HOWEVER I do not recommend this feature to be on all the time as extended periods can lead to a smokey/electric burning like smell. (Based on 12 hour test). Short periods, I'd say 4-6 hours is plenty, especially with how large an area this purifier can diffuse over. Because it primarily uses Neutrons, (negatively charged particles), to breakdown VOD's and viruses, (instead of UV light like some others on the market) it will produce subsequently produce Ozone.From using the machine, it has not affected my breathing nor has it impacted my pets breathing. Additionally the produced ozone is no-where near the levels needed to harm anyone or anything, but it is still something to consider for the pedantic out there.Filtration and air purification is fantastic. The air is clean and the carbon filter leaves no "smell" under operation. Smoke and odour's are virtually all absorbed and all dust and pet dander, also well taken care of. If there is one thing you can't criticise about this machine it's how well it purifies the air. Additionally if you really dont want to spend the extra money on the pet filters, the machine can still operate without them. No "gotcha" sensors inside. Just a fan, and a fantastic and effective array of filters.Overall this air purifier is built pretty well for plastic, is easy to assemble and works brilliantly. Cleaning the thing is easy, features though basic are highly effective and the purification, which is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of any air purifier, is top notch.
