Winix HR950 5-Stage Air Cleaner, Review

The Winix HR950 Air Cleaner utilizes 5 stages of air purification for superior air cleaning and fresher indoor air.
 
To help you understand how efficiently the Winix HR950 works at air cleaning, let’s take a look at each of the 5 stages of filtration:

Stage 1

Washable pre-filter – the 1st line of defence against large airborne particles.

Stage 2

CD carbon filter (coated deodorization) – up to 97% effective at reducing VOCs and household odors such as cooking, smoke and pet odors.

The filters from Stages 1 & 2 help to prolong the life of the True HEPA Filter.

Stage 3

Anti-microbial coating on true HEPA filter – prohibits growth of microbes and bacteria.

Stage 4

True HEPA filter – captures 99.97% of airborne allergens (up to 0.3 microns) including dust, mold spores, pet dander, pollen, microbes, and smoke.

Stage 5

PlasmaWave Technology (emits NO harmful ozone) – creates Hydroxyls, working at a molecular level to instantly break down and neutralize allergens, bacteria, viruses, VOCs, odors & gases.

The Winix HR950 features an easy-to-use control panel from which you can control the air cleaner manually, set the timer or set it to auto-mode and let the unit do the work for you.

The Winix HR950 Air Cleaner offers 4 fan speed settings for Low, Medium, High or Turbo.  On Auto Mode, the HR950 utilizes Smart Sensors to monitor the air in the room and will auto adjust the fan speed when it senses a change in the quality of the air.  An LED indicator light displays the quality of the air on a scale of 1-3 for good, fair or poor air quality.

The Winix HR950 comes with all the filters you need to get started and the unit features an LED filter replacement indicator light so you know when the filters need changing.  Depending on usage, the carbon pre-filter needs to be changed every 6 months while the True HEPA Filter needs to be changed once a year on average.

The Winix HR950 operates surprisingly quietly (some noise can be heard on turbo as you would expect) and you’ll be pleased to know that the LED lights will automatically dim at night-time with the unit’s Auto Dim Feature which senses the ambient light in the room and adjusts the brightness of the display accordingly.

Energy efficient and eco-friendly, the Winix HR950 Air Cleaner is Energy Star certified, ARB certified, UL certified, AHAM verified, and rated for room size up to 400 square feet.  The Winix HR950’s CADR ratings are as follows:  Dust – 264; Pollen 301; Smoke – 258.
