Everyone who comes over to my house after it has been running for a little while says my house smells so fresh! Also, I've had some construction work done around the house and even after some of the noxious fumes this sends out into the air, an hour or two of running the filter does the trick to make the house smell fresh again! Winix WAC5500 Washable True-HEPA Air Filter with PlasmaWaveTechnology 2 Year Platinum Protection Plan $22.49 3 Year Platinum Protection Plan $30.99 /  See all Winix Air PurifiersIn this article, we’ll be reviewing two Winix air purifier series that share a lot in common: Both of these product lines contain premium air cleaning technologies, but have several distinct differences that may make you want to choose one over the other. We’ll explain what these differences are below. What you may not know, and is not clearly explained on the Winix website, is that the PlasmaWave Series is the original product line out of the two types.

The FresHome Series is the updated version with new models that contain a few feature enhancements. Keep reading below to find out what the FresHome and PlasmaWave Series have in common with each other and how they are different. All models within the PlasmaWave and FresHome Series include: As we mentioned above, the changes from the PlasmaWave Series to the FresHome Series is not too distinct and you have to pay close attention to the individual features to find out which one would be right for you. Additionally, the differences you’ll find between each model within each series is also slight that it may seem difficult to know how they really compare. Below, we’ll reveal how each model is distinct from each other and between the two series. The PlasmaWave Series includes these models: WAC5300, WAC5500 and WAC6300. As you can see, the only differences within this product line is the inclusion of a remote control and a washable filter. If you don’t care about a remote, the WAC5300 is the best investment because customer reviews reveal that the washable aspect of the filter does not extend its life by that much time.

If you do want a remote, the WAC5500 is your best choice since the WAC6300 returned to the non-washable filter and doesn’t provide much advantage for the higher price. In fact, we recommend the WAC5500 in another article as the Best Air Purifier for Dust Removal and on our List of the Top Rated Air Purifiers. The FresHome Series includes these models: P150, P300 and P450. As you can see, the only differences within this product line is the inclusion of a remote control and the maximum space each air purifier can purify. Depending on the size of the room(s) you want to place the device in will determine which product is the better investment. It’s also important to note that the FresHome Series doesn’t allow you to turn off the PlasmaWave fucntion (explained below), while the PlasmaWave Series does have an on/off switch. The patented PlasmaWave technology by Winix is a highly unique air purifying process that operates similarly to an ionic generator, but doesn’t produce harmful ozone.

It works by attacking pollutants at the molecular level through the use of water vapor. This process is highly effective at neutralizing airborne toxins such as viruses, bacteria, chemical vapors, odors, and gases. When combined with a fan and filter system this creates an air purifier that’s capable of removing all types of unwanted pollutants inside your home.sharp air purifier fu y30 Throughout this article, we’ve shown you the similarities and differences of each model within the PlasmaWave and FresHome Series, as well as how the FresHome Series has changed from the original PlasmaWave Series.hoover tio2 air purifier If you’re still trying to decide on which model and/or series to get, here are some final things to consider before making a purchase:hunter total air care germicidal air purifier reviews
