Amazon Prime Day deal: Winix air purifiers are up to 57% off

Just a quick fact: You are exposed to more air pollution when you’re indoors than when you’re outdoors. Air contaminants get trapped indoors because the air doesn’t circulate as freely as it does outside. This can prove fatal to allergy sufferers and asthmatics and make everyone else more prone to respiratory illnesses.

An air purifier can significantly help lower such risks by improving the quality of the air you breathe. They filter the air of contaminants, allergens, dust, and other harmful particles. One of the world’s leading manufacturers of air purifiers is Winix, and very shortly, two of their bestselling air purifier models, the AM90 and the 5500-2, are getting irresistibly huge discounts on Amazon’s Prime Day.

WINIX AM90 – $104

The Winix AM90 air purifier is suitable for medium and large rooms up to 360 square feet in size. It features four stages of air filtration – a washable fine mesh pre-filter, a carbon sheet filter, a True HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter, and the PlasmaWave filter – which guarantees optimum cleaning of the air you breathe. These filters have the power to capture 99. 97% of airborne pollutants and break apart odors, allergens, harmful vapors and other contaminants at the molecular level.

This air purifier is designed to work with Alexa. Through voice command, you can control it to perform functions like changing the fan speed or providing you with air quality information.

Speaking of air quality information, the Winix AM90 “reads” the air in your home through Smart Sensors and with the LED indicator it quantifies the air quality on a scale of good to poor (blue-amber-red).

This air purifier also has True HEPA filtration capability that captures 99.97% of allergens and other airborne contaminants in your home. Air contaminants as small as 0.3 microns are filtered from the air so you can breathe easier. The washable AOC (Advanced Odor Control) Carbon Filter is made from activated carbon, which has the added benefit of eliminating unpleasant odors from the air.

Some unique enhancements found in the Winix 5500-2 include its PlasmaWave technology, which serves as a permanent built-in filter that collects and safely handles pollutants on a molecular level without emitting toxic ozone. Smart Sensors monitor the air in your home and automatically adjust the fan and filter settings, and a sleep mode keeps the unit running quietly at night. Designed for medium to large spaces, the Winix 5500-2 is CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) approved for rooms of 360-square feet.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ — $190, was $220

While the discount isn't too steep, there also isn't a lot of room to bring the Galaxy Tab A9+'s price down anyhow. This low-priced tablet is perfect for watching videos and browsing the net. It can also be cozy to curl up next to someone else and watching programming together on its surprisingly large 11-inch, 1920 x 1200p screen. As the Galaxy Tab A9+ only uses 4GB of RAM and has a mere 64GB of storage, you might think it wouldn't be too great at gaming, but with a 90Hz refresh rate, it can definitely take on some action-packed fun. Just install a few apps at a time and be a completionist about it.
