The Verdict.

8.3/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

“The Winix 5510 answers the only real complaint about the 5500-2: it finally connects to your phone. The app adds scheduling, remote control, and filter life monitoring — features that every $200 purifier should have. The core filtration is essentially identical to its predecessor, which means it's still one of the most effective and affordable purifiers you can buy. PlasmaWave continues to be the rare purifier technology that actually works as advertised. At $200, it's the best value in the mid-range air purifier market.”
