I brought a Winix 5500 from www.sylvane.com on April 27 2012, the product was received by May 2. So the shipping service was incredibly fast even though I had ordered on a Friday night.
This is actually my first air filter so I had no expectation as to how effective it actually is. Prior to purchasing I did some research online and almost all the reviews I went through were positive so I decided to give it a shot.
The air filter was purchased on April 27 2012, and was received on May 2. So the shipping service was pretty fast even though I had ordered it on a Friday night. Although the unit look a bit bulky in dimension, it actually only weighs about ~3-4 pounds. So moving it from room A to room B won't be too much of a hassle, though I wish they put wheels on them to make it easier for consumers. This unit is very user friendly, the remote consist of five buttons total, very self-explanatory.
Also, a lot of people have complained about the noise from the machine when the plasmawave function is on. I personally have not encounter this issue. The machine is running very quietly. The air quality detection device does work, and was noticed as soon as I pop opened my door.
There aren't any real installation work for this machine, just remove the plastic bags, plug in the power cord, and you're good to go.
As far as pricing, I personally think that it's pretty decent for this kind of functionality and performance.
Overall, I like this unit, and will recommend it to anyone that's out there looking for a good air filter. If this price is too steep, then you should consider investing in winix 5300. I believe it's cheaper, but with no remote control, and you cannot turn your plasmawave function off.

Comments about Winix PlasmaWave 5500 Air Cleaner:
We are glad we bought this filter; we were so pleased we bought a second one for the bedroom. It's affordable and works great in both our living/kitchen area and bedrooms. It's quiet unless it turns on turbo, but the noise is temporary. My husband has very bad allergies and was suffering from severe attacks. The filter has solved that. We're even able to have a cat now, and he is EXTREMELY allergic to cats. I've been recommending this to all our family and friends with allergies.

Comments about Winix PlasmaWave 5500 Air Cleaner:
I purchased this air cleaner about 2 weeks ago after research and reading all of the positive reviews. I just love it. The air is cleaner and the odors are gone. It is so quiet that I forget it is on. Excellent purchase and I plan to get another one soon.

Comments about Winix PlasmaWave 5500 Air Cleaner:
This was a gift for my birthday. We place the air purifier in the kitchen/dining area during the day because that's the area we spend most of our time. Then early evening we move it into our bedroom. Using the purifier enables me to breathe deeper and get relief from asthma. My daughter ordered hers the next day after experiencing ours. We are really promoting this product to others that live in the assisted living apartments! We also like that one of the filters can be washed and reused!

Comments about Winix PlasmaWave 5500 Air Cleaner:
We did a lot of research to find the quietest and most affordable air Purifier. And this is what we found. We have been using it for about a month now, and it is extremely quiet and unobtrusive. It is in the living room, and it is easy to just forget that it is there. The lowest setting is extremely quiet, especially in comparison to some other ones we have tried. I like that there is a sensor on it, and that if it senses there is some need to go to a higher fan speed, it will do it and then go back to low. Wow we have not actually washed the filter yet, I was one of the reasons we bought it as well.

Comments about Winix PlasmaWave 5500 Air Cleaner:
During the day we keep the Winix running in the kitchen/living room and move it to our bedroom for the evening. We have two Golden Retrievers that sleep in our room and we have noticed fresher air and alot less dust.
My husband spent quite a few days researching for the best air purifier until he was sold on this unit.

Comments about Winix PlasmaWave 5500 Air Cleaner:
We bought this hoping it would help us with odor and poor air quality (mostly pet odor) in our basement. While we've been tackling it with other measures, but within hours of opening and turning on our Winix we saw improvement. It is really helping to make the space liveable down there.

Comments about Winix PlasmaWave 5500 Air Cleaner:
we have a 1500 s.f. loft and have used this continuously in the last month. we move it around (relatively easily although a carry handle would be ideal) the space and it's made a noticeable difference in the air quality. also, the plasmawave tech really helps restore the air from cigarette smoke. for the price, you can't beat this. highly recommended.
