Winix 5510.
The successor to the beloved 5500-2 adds WiFi and app control while keeping the proven 4-stage True HEPA + PlasmaWave filtration.
The Verdict.
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.”
