Reply to comment by Alternative_Arm_2583 in My father has developed asthma in his mid 50’s and I think an air purifier in his bedroom would be really good for him. Do you have any recommendations? by C_A_N_G

I second this. My refurbished winix (c545 maybe?) was a fraction of the price and was literally brand new. I’ve had it 3 years

My sharp plasmaclusters are about 20 years old, I disassemble them alot over the years to clean them and replace filters, I noticed that the actual way they are made is pretty identical to the winix i got for $69 (vs $300ish 15 years ago for one with the same air cleaning specs) !! And to get a new plasma dohicky b/c mine are dead of old age on the plasmaclusters made it a no brainer. I noted that the air quality sensors on the winix is better than the original sharps. very happy. I think I also got the 545 (has wifi i do not use). replacement filters are cheap. even the carbon front filters are cheap. it came with 4!
