The Winix 5500-2 is a True HEPA air purifier that captures 99.7 percent of allergens and other airborne contaminants in your home. Dust, mites, pollen, dander, and other particles as small as 0.3 microns are filtered from the air so you can breathe easier — a must-have for anyone who has allergies or lives with pets. The AOC Carbon Filter is manufactured from activated carbon, which has the added benefit of eliminating nasty odors from the air. This filter is hand-washable as well.
Some unique enhancements found in the Winix 5500-2 include PlasmaWave technology which serves as a permanent built-in filter that collects and safely handles pollutants on a molecular level without emitting dangerous ozone. Smart Sensors can read 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-rated for rooms of 360 square feet.
