  Very happy with the purchase!
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2019
  You will notice a huge difference in air quality within about 30 mins. I have owned many air purifiers over last several years and this is definitely the best.Apart from being very effective at cleaning the air from pollen and other impurities, it has the following great features:* Very quiet at Low setting. You can't hear it even at night time.* Auto mode. Automatically adjusts the speed depending on the air pollution level.* Light sensor. Prevents the purifier from switching to High setting when it is dark. My previous purifier used to switch to High setting occasionally, waking me up at night.* Easy maintenance/cleaning. The entire front panel can be removed, providing easy access to clean the inside of the unit. This is in contrast to purifiers from other brands, where replacement filters are inserted from the side of the unit, and are therefore difficult to clean.The previous reviewer mentioned a few things that were wrong because he probably did not read the instructions:* The PlasmaWave feature can be easily turned off by pressing the "Auto" button and keeping it pressed for 3 seconds. I tried it many times and it works like a charm.* The air purity sensor picks up the air from inside the unit (thus measuring the residual pollution level), so it does not really matter whether the air flows over panel. The unit is quite effective at reacting to ambient air pollution levels.Overall, I think this is the best purifier you can get for this price and I am very happy with my purchase.

  Best Air Purifier for small rooms
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2019
  This looks like a simple unit, but operates better than expected."Quiet" mode has almost no sound, but still works and perfect for sleeping. Medium mode works almost like a quiet mode, it is a normal sound especially you are used to laptop fans. High mode has a sound like a full power laptop fan. If you are living in a city, background noise will be higher than the sound of this mode. Then the "Turbo" mode, the sound of this mode is similar to a "silent" vacuum cleaner. It is still tolerable for day time, but you will not prefer to use this mode during sleeping.I am not sure how it will work for a long time usage, but for short time usage it works like a charm. Cleans the dust on the air wonderfully and holds everything on its filters.Thanks to this unit, I can sleep at nights without any respiration problem.

  Well made and seems to work
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 February 2019
  Thought long and hard about this purchase. Bought it to improve the air quality and banish stale smells.But, it seems to be able to detect particles in the air and ramps itself into turbo action even if I spray fragrance several rooms away.It is good at banishing damp smells and pushing the air around as the fan is very powerful. It remains to be seen if it deals with pollen, will update this in the Summer.Update. This machine takes pollen out of the room, it's best to keep it running all day though.The refills are quire expensuve, but worthwhile buying after a year of moderate use.

  Good quality air purifier
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2019
  Great air purifier. Used to wake in the morning with a sore throat, but this has stopped that completely. It's quiet on the lower setting but does get loud if you use the maximum. I tend to leave it on auto or low overnight which works well.I spent ages looking at the bigger brands like Dyson and Vax, but came across this one on another site and very happy with my purchase. Got it on offer with £40 off and inclides enough filters for 1 year. Winix support also said you can use the filter kit from the more expensive u300 model so I will probably do that next time as it has extra stages and is a similar price I think.

  Great value for money this machine. The slow mode is exceptionally quite. Even whilst falling asleep I dont hear it, nor does the display lighting bother me.

  Appears to have a design flaw :-/
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2016
  I chose the WINIX FresHome P150 Air Purifier as it had good reviews. I realise this is no guarantee so, as always, I checked the URL (web address) of the item in fakespot . com, which does analysis on all reviews and grades the quality of them. What surprised me was that fakespot gave the item reviews a grade A, even though ALL 7 reviews prior to mine were from Vine reviewers who got the item for free. But I gave it the benefit of the doubt and went ahead and bought it.I should say that it's a sleek looking item and seems to be a reasonable build quality. When I set it up and turned it on it went through the expected few minutes of flashing lights and then settled down on the minimum (quiet) setting. How surprised was I to learn I've got a clean lounge with 'good' air quality?! (I'm a single guy and I don't hoover often!) For information, there is a reasonable outflow of air from the top of the unit, even on the quiet setting.It stayed on the quiet setting the whole time, and it is very quiet - I would say in a bedroom on that setting it is probably quieter than a partner's breathing! I tried it on other settings and the volume does increase, the maximum setting creates a noise level probably close to a cooker extractor hood on it's lowest setting.However, later in the day the neighbour's cat came in - I expected the purifier to burst into action as 'everyone knows' how much dander and dust pets give off into the air. But no, it stayed quietly on the lowest setting. I was surprised at this and checked the air quality sensors weren't clogged up (even though it had only been on a few hours), but they weren't - obviously because I have seen a clean house ;-)I then tried to trigger the unit to go onto a higher setting, first by swirling a towel around, then doing a bit of dusting. Nothing - not a peep out of the purifier, it just stayed on low. So I had an idea that I though was sure to work - I dusted around the house and then shook the duster immediately over the unit.... no effect whatsoever.Then I noticed that the air vent where the filtered air exits from has a grill, the slats of which are inclined towards the front of the unit - WHERE THE AIR QUALITY SENSOR IS. So it seems that the outflow of air acts as a sort of breeze that reduces, if not completely prevents, airborne particles from getting near the sensor - so the higher settings aren't triggered.It seems such a basic flaw that I couldn't quite believe it, but there you have it - if your house is like a building site and the air is filled with clouds of dust than the higher level of operation MIGHT be triggered so that it can clear the air, but if you shake a duster around or have a cat, it's unlikely that dust/pet dander etc will be filtered when you want, ie. straight away! - I say straight away because I suppose there is the possibility that as the dust falls through the air and gets LOWER than the air outlet vent, then if it's close enough to the intake vents it might be pulled in and filtered. As to any dust that's further than, say, a metre from the unit, who knows?I'm disappointed as the unit does seem reasonable, and the quiet setting would be great in the bedroom, oh, and it's got an inset 'handle' at the back for carrying it around - but it's all negated by what I see as a design flaw that largely prevents the air quality sensor from being effective, so the 'Auto' control seems useless.
