Harmonics?I received my Winix today, so this is my initial rating and impression.
Like:
- Easy to set up
- Has a remote
- Looks nice
- VERY quiet on low speed
- Moves a lot of air on Turbo
Dislike:
- Cannot shut off Plasmawave
- 3-Stage Filtration vs. 5-Stage in other Winix models
- High and Turbo modes produce a VERY noticable "whistling" noise
To elaborate on my dislikes. Since this unit had a remote, I was hoping that they preserved the on/off feature from other Winix units for the Plasmawave. No such luck. This was a bit of a disappointment but not a deal breaker in and of itself. However, this brings me to my second issue.
Turning this on High or Turbo produces a very noticeable whistling or whine. This noise is NOT the Plasmawave (that has a distinct chirping noise and is surprisingly hard to detect); it almost sounds like a bad fan or harmonics from moving so much air. Looking at the unit at max settings,...

Does its job, but product craftsmanship questionable. *UpdatedAs soon as we had this unit set up and running, we instantly noticed a change in the air quality within our 700 sq. ft. loft in the heart of downtown LA. While we would normally have to dust our furniture every other day to keep the dust at bay, with this unit, it became a once-a-week chore (if at that).
The unit IS very effective at removing dust particles, as well as odor in our place, despite its advertised space rating of 450 sq. ft. And as advertised, it IS indeed very quiet, although there is a bit of a buzzing noise from the PlasmaWave that others have mentioned in their reviews (this was not loud enough to be of concern, and I am well-known amongst my peers to be extremely sensitive to noise). In summary, I would say that the unit definitely functions beyond its advertised specifications.
I seldom review products I purchase on Amazon, but this time I felt like I had to, and the reasons are as follows...
As I said before, this is a fantastic...
Need more appointment... ?
Great air volume, simple to maintain.I agree with the previous poster about the 'howl'. On high or turbo there is a high-pitched whine or howl that is annoying, but we only run on those settings when we are not at home, to clean the air for cooking odors, or if it is particularly dusty. The low setting is very quiet and the 'normal' setting barely noticeable.
We replaced a Kenmore electrostatic model that had a cleanable filter cell, and when the cell finally failed we chose this model for replacement. I believe it does a very good job and has the greater air handling volume we needed for our living room plus kitchen area. We also have a Kenmore non-electrostatic unit we moved to the living room (to attempt to replace the electrostatic model) but it did not clean the air as well as this P450 (the Kenmore couldn't knock down a dusty smell).
The air quality sensor does work, as the fan will ramp up as it detects contaminated air. For example, when I got home from work I used some hand sanitizer...
