Winix Air purifier A332 for allergy sufferers with HEPA Filter (99,9%) against allergies, dust, pollen, pet hair, indoor air quality indicator and auto mode, Air Purifier CADR228m³/h for 45㎡.

I bought this back in March for tree pollen season and I was sceptical if it would work. I set it up in the bedroom and kept the doors and windows closed. The fan is quiet and in night mode the lights dim. It’s just like white noise which seems to help with sleep. After a few nights my hay fever subsided much to my surprise. What confirmed it was working was when I opened the bedroom window thinking the pollen had gone and the indicator on the unit turned amber within a few seconds ! I closed the window and the light went back to blue indicating clean air.

I have had large and small air purifiers for a year and recently decided to buy two smaller units for bedrooms. I chose this Winix model because my husband has larger purifiers of this brand at work and likes them. I couldn’t be more pleased! I got one and then a week later a second. Both are great and well exceed my expectations. They work well, are easy to use and I love how they show you current “air quality”. The day I set it up in my daughters room the light showed amber at first which confirmed what I thought. My room showed blue...until I started moving things out of my closet kicking up unseen dust and it went red! Both cleared the air pretty quickly then moved down to a quiet mode. Sleep mode is great, and much quieter than both the large and small air purifiers we already had. Automatic is a great function too. These have made a big difference to hayfever and dust allergies for those in the family who suffer. I also like that the plasma function clears viruses and bacteria! I definitely give these five stars and I will likely buy a third for my oldest to take when they are off to Uni in the autumn.

I wanted to use this to clean the air in my house as we’d got a new pet. I did a bit more research and realise there’s a few things I need to research better before running it. I don’t notice any noise. I had a great deal buying on prime day which meant it has great value for money being one of the best on the market. I can’t tell you if it purified the air because I decided I wanted to return it and research it more. There were so many modes on this, including sleep mode, but I wish I’d check the specs better before buying as it needs to be so far from walls, at a certain height etc and I hadn’t realised it couldn’t be on a window, so it’s tricky to fit in a smaller space. It looks sleek but it is so much bigger than I was expecting! My fault for not checking the specs properly !

3 weeks in..and we’re impressed. We bought it as my husband’s hay fever was really affecting his sleep. From the first night he noticed a great improvement and was thrilled. It’s not too big so stores under my dressing table; cleverly it assesses the clarity of the air and adjusts to suit; it’s not to noisy at all as mostly it stays on blue, which is the lowest setting but you can choose a night mode which is even quieter. I’ve just cleaned the filter, which was really easy. We keep our windows and door closed and turn it on after tea. It quietly cleans the air ready for bed time. An added bonus is that the room stays much cleaner..no windows open obviously helps too. Well worth the money.

I chose this due to its simplicity - I don’t want another connected device with an awful app that will stop working when its developers abandon it - as well as the value/longevity of the filters. In almost a year of using this, however, I can’t say I have noticed any change in the room’s air quality, and auto mode has only ever changed from the default low setting a handful of times. Every couple of weeks I open it up and there’s a sprinkling of dust inside. It’s doing something, at least, but whether that’s enough to justify buying another filter, I’m not sure. The downside of its design is the lack of any real air quality data. I don’t know how good the sensor is, and it may be better in manual mode. For some reason the same low setting in manual mode is more powerful than in auto mode, which doesn’t make sense. Anything above low is noisy, and in manual mode it’s a hassle to keep adjusting. I’ll probably give it another chance, but wouldn’t rush to buy another.
