Winix PlasmaWave 5300 Air Cleaner Model

Air pollution is a major problem for health and longevity. The lungs have their own microbiome, which is diminished when pollutants clog the tiny alveoli that line the lungs and provide protection from pathogens. Normally, breathing polluted air – whether it's indoors or outdoors – undermines an otherwise healthy lifestyle and may result in cancer, cardiovascular disease, and susceptibility to infection. So we decided to find a solution and did substantial research until we found the Winix PlasamaWave 5300.  We like it so much that the CR Way Longevity Center has two of them and we plan to purchase a third.

Since we have been using the Winix, the odors and iritation from air pollutants are gone, and the air quality is clean and fresh. We especially like the automatic setting, which adjusts the purifier's activity to what it detects in the air – turning it up or down accordingly.

Here is how the company describes it:

Key Features:

3-Stage Air Cleaning

Effectively removes a broad range of Odors; Allergens; other Airborne Pollutants Including: Dust, Smoke, Pollen, Pet Dander, Mold Spores and Organic Chemicals. Pre-filter captures larger particles such as hair and lint to reduce time spent cleaning and extend HEPA filter life.

True HEPA Filtration

Only filters that capture 99.97% of ALL particles as small as 0.3 microns can be called True-HEPA. True-HEPA filters are extremely important for allergy and asthma suffers because they capture the pollen, mold spores, smoke, and pet dander from the air.

PlasmaWaveTechnology

Winix's own PlasmaWave^TM works differently than many of the other air cleaning technologies. Other Ionizer type air cleaners produce ions to attach to pollutants so they fall to the floor or stick to walls and furniture and then need to get vacuumed. PlasmaWave however doesn't merely weigh down the particles - it breaks apart odor, allergens, chemical vapors and other pollutants at the molecular level without producing any harmful ozone.

Air Quality Sensor with Auto Mode

When in Auto Mode, the Air Quality Sensor continually monitors the quality of the air in the room and will automatically adjust the settings for optimal performance to quickly remove any new offending contaminants.
