The successor to the beloved 5500-2 adds WiFi and app control while keeping the proven 4-stage True HEPA + PlasmaWave filtration.

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.”
The Gavler Verdict
Washable pre-filter + True HEPA + AOC carbon + PlasmaWave — captures 99.99% of particles down to 0.01 microns.
Winix Smart app for scheduling, remote control, filter life monitoring, and air quality tracking from anywhere.
Dims LEDs and reduces fan speed when room lights go down — returns to Auto Mode when lights come back up.
Reviewers praise the WiFi upgrade and maintained filtration quality. The 5510 earns slightly higher expert marks than its predecessor thanks to smart features, while community enthusiasm remains strong.
