Opinions about the Winix A330
I loved it, in this time of pandemic it gives you more security. The True HEPA filter would be between a HEPA H13 and a HEPA H14 and the PlasmaWave technology, if it kills pathogens, is welcome. It works well in automatic mode and in speeds 1 and 2 it is very quiet, you don't even hear it.. We are very happy with it.
I suffer from chronic sinusitis and always woke up with a stuffy nose. Since I put the purifier on at night I wake up with it clear, it's a joy, and the noise it makes with the night mode is minimal, it doesn't bother me at all. During the day I have it on automatic, so when necessary it regulates the power to keep the air clean. I am delighted with the purifier, I wish I had bought it sooner.
In automatic mode it hardly makes any noise, except when it is set to maximum power, which is then more noticeable, but it is not exaggerated either. It is very easy to use and the instructions are well explained. The design is modern and beautiful and the air is noticeably cleaner..
Highly recommended, it has a compact size and its weight is also low, so you can take it on a trip. When visitors come, it can be put into manual mode at maximum power to ensure that the air is renewed five times per hour., as recommended.
Very happy. After much searching on the Internet for a HEPA level air purifier, I found this brand that seems to be very well known in many countries. It works perfectly and the price is very good compared to other models with less features. Good design, modern and small, the materials are of good quality and the noise level is reasonable. I love the lights that indicate the air quality, I don't think you can find anything better for this price.
