You can turn off the "plasmawave" feature on the Winix 5500-2 Air Purifier. Unfortunately, you have to turn it off every time that you turn the device on. This would not be an issue for someone who intends to keep the air purifier on 24/7... barring a power outage. This filter has the same LED display problem that you mention for the Coway, but electrical tape is the universal cure for LED light pollution.

Good Review mate, I am going to buy one with your link if they send to Australia, I am a prime member so fingers crossed. BTW, don't believe KZitem when they tell you you need to "hand gesticulate", it was helpful when YT was new and growing but everyone knows now... If it is not natural, then it doesn't look natural and becomes an irritation for the viewer. Your content is interesting enough to keep the audience interested.

You can turn off the larger air quality light by holding down the ionizer button for 3 seconds. Ps: Ionizers should be safe as long as it complies with the federal ozone emissions limit and is ARB certified

@@scottr7683 you just vacuum the PRE filter or you can hose it down outside real quick. It’s very easy. If you don’t clean the pre filter on ANY air purifier frequently, the filter becomes increasingly ineffective bc the air flow is reduced by the dust and hair on the prefilter

Maybe I'm different, but I tend to at least glance at the manual. Page 11 tells you how to turn off the air quality light. I see you aren't cleaning the pre-filter... ever. It's going to work harder (louder) on auto, or perform worse on fan speed 1. Lastly, when you change the HEPA you should also clean your air quality sensor (and consider adjusting its sensitivity to your environment).

I'm having issues with my coways. Have 2 mightys and a 400s. Problem is when cooking they absorb the smell but then it coats the HEPA filter. Then that's all you can smell coming out the clean air side. It's a weaker version of the cooking smell but then that floods the room. It's really noticable if you move the unit from the kitchen to bedroom. I had to replace my filters that were 2 days old. I don't know the point of the purifier if any smells will just coat the filter then still come out the other side. Sucks I have about 1000 in air purifiers that don't do much

Odors will mostly be in the carbon layer. I dunno what the reviewer is talking about, it's actually all in the manual, you can look into how to clean carbon filters online or find appropriate sheets to cut cheaper replacements, etc... I know replacing the HEPA unit is not cost effective.
