Four Level Air Cleaning

The Winix 5300-2 Air Purifier captures harmful indoor air particles including dust, pollen, smoke, and chemicals. Pulling air in through the air inlet grille on the front panel the air passes through a washable pre-filter to capture large particles like dander, dust, and pet hair.

A 3-stage purification system then takes over, making this an excellent unit for allergy and asthma sufferers, pet owners, and those looking to improve indoor air quality.

• Stage 1: Air first passes through this washable Odor Reducing Carbon Filter to help to reduce odors from cooking or tobacco smoke.
• Stage 2: Next air enters the True HEPA Filter where 99.97% of harmful invisible air particles down to 0.3 microns in size are captured.
• Stage 3: Finally, air is cleaned using Winix’s patented PlasmaWave Technology. At the molecular level the unit creates Hydroxls to attack virus-causing bacteria, odors, gases, and chemical vapors in the air, neutralizing them on contact. This feature can be turned on and off on the control panel.
