    Just came across your channel yesterday when looking into getting a purifier(s) for our two level house, appreciate all your hard work putting these together!
    I ended up buying 2x Zero Pro+ 5-stage air purifiers which were available in Aus/NZ. Comes with a dedicated, disposable pet filter (12 per replacement filter pack) on top of the standard four which is invaluable with a cat and dog who shed a lot.
    Probably wouldn't have been happy paying $600 NZD each (237 GBP + 15% taxes) but they had a buy one, get one half off so $178 GBP per + 15% taxes seemed decent value.

      Thanks for the kind words. Sounds like you got a good deal! Be sure to let me know how they work you for long term.

    So funny to find this video has been just published while I've been researching which Winix purifier to get. As I found out the Winix Zero Pro is just fresh out of support, replaced by the new Winix T800. The T800 sadly has an all-in-one filter, but I think I'll still choose the new model for longer product support, phone app and the bin design. The filter is the same price as Zero Pro and should last the same at least. Still, thank you for the Zero Pro review and would love to hear your opinion on the T800 :)

      Yeah sad timing coincidence that my review comes out pretty much the same week they decided to discontinue. Winix are still good about older filter sales so don't see much risk and much prefer the removal pre-filter you get with this one and the carbon is pelleted vs the fabric of the new T800 series. Will be publshing that review soon.

      Had the same dilemma, bought Zero Pro despite being discontinued. Winix confirmed that they will keep selling the filter for years. Was also looking at the T800 but the lack of removable prefilter and non-peletized carbon was a big no for me. Plus I keep it on 24/7 so app control was not so important and the extra gas sensor is a nice addition. Thanks for review!

      Happy to help and I agree it’s a solid choice that will clean a lot of air over the long term. I’m reviewing the new T800 series right now .

      @HouseFresh I've only owned a very old model from Winix back in the early 2000s, and it was awesome . I had it for many years until 2017. I can only compare those 2, but the 5510 is sleek and modern. Performance is great and super quiet. I also agree that I also too like how small it is.

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  9 днів тому +1

      Performance is very similar based on only tests but they have managed to do well with sound and overall size with this model. Won’t be for everyone but I know plenty prefer a better looking smaller device so can see this selling well.

  • @exception360

    Maybe the 5500-2 carbon filter is heavier because the frame is made of plastic, while the Pro filter is made of paper/cardboard?

    • @HouseFresh

      I would need to cut out and measure but just eye-balling it did seem like there was more in in the Winix 5500-2 type H.

  • @LoveToday8
    @LoveToday8 14 днів тому +1

    Hmmm. Yeah, if it had more carbon I'd definitely consider it for my next big air purifier purchase. I recently found a nicely discounted Winix 5500-2 on Facebook marketplace so I'll be adding that.

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  14 днів тому

      Yes, it was disappointing to see less carbon. The 5500-2 is going to be a hard one to beat for best bang for buck for a long time!

    Sorry for oot,
    Which model have better value for money for "180 sq ft" area?
    Levoit core 300/300s/vital 100s?
    Winix zero compact/zero S?

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  9 днів тому

      For that room space, I would be tempted to suggest a slightly bigger air purifier so you could run it at lower speeds and still provide enough air changes.
      Maybe the Zero S or Zero C5 and then you could run at lower fan speeds for your room size and still get a good number of air changes each hour.
      Whilst you would save initially with the smaller devices like those you mentioned, long term you will have running cost savings so I personally think it's worth it.
      Hope that helps, also happy to answer over email if you prefer: danny@housefresh.com

    • @LoveToday8
      @LoveToday8 22 дні тому +1

      For a kitchen purifier, I'd prioritize a quality carbon filter that can handle odors. The Winix 5500-2 and this one have a better carbon filter than Levoit

    • @HouseFresh

      The Winix zero S is another one to look for as you can still use the filters that the 5500-2 uses.

    You didn’t really talk about pet hair which is meant to be an advantage of this model

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  9 днів тому

      Sorry, I didn't cover that. I think the key thing for pet hair is a removable pre-filter as it will get filled up more than in homes without dogs and the Zero Pro doe have one. But the most particle filters will be able to deal with pet dander.

    Do you have a video for a good air purifier 300-1000€? I would prefer 500€ but sometimes going more expensive is worth it. What purifier would you recommend?

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  12 днів тому

      Levoit EverestAir is good for that price range and will go cheaper during main sales.

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  9 днів тому

      The only one that could compare would be the Coway 400S which I haven't had a chance to test yet. Most of the Winix are lower CADR so there isn't any easily available that you can make a comparison with the Everestair.

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  День тому

      Agree it is late to roll out smart functions. It does seem like they have moved away from selling the Winix Zero Pro and the new range like the T810 and 5510 do have an app so likely these will be the the models they will push moving forward.
      I hope your still happy with your Zero Pro - I do think it's a solid air purifier.
