I bought (another) air purifier. Winix C909.

[@user-ym5io2ul1o]

Thank you for showing the manual

[@PriTeshla]

No problem!

[@bobkantek7312]

Thanks for the review! Just a tip, you need to check your audio levels. I had to set my speaker to max to just hear you, and no it's not my setup's fault

[@PriTeshla]

Thanks for the tip!

[@papiwhisperer9275]

You have to remove the plastic film around the buttons for the air quality sensor to measure correctly ☝️It’s basically covered.

[@PriTeshla]

Don’t worry, the plastic was removed shortly after this video and the purifier has been running flawlessly! The air sensor calls me out sometimes, if I fart too close to it it’ll instantly kick into high speed 😳

For C909, Can we replace cheap charcoal foam filter with a 5500-2 charcoal pellet filter? Will it fit??

[@PriTeshla]

Unfortunately I don’t think it would fit, the foam one is extremely thin.

[@suemc2974]

How do you reset the filter indicator? The instructions included are for the C545 not the C909 😮

[@PriTeshla]

The filter indicator light itself is a button, just press on it until it resets!

[@Labios_Rotos]

Thanks for the video. Do you know if it can be used with Google Home/Google Assistant?

[@PriTeshla]

It can! They just added support for Google Assistant. You can fully control it and get statuses like current indoor air quality.

[@Labios_Rotos]

@@PriTeshla is that added support something you have to add to existing devices through a firmware update? Or how ?

[@PriTeshla]

Nope! You just link the Winix app through Google Home by going to add a device and then selecting the “Works with Google” option.

[@Medic7000]

Have you had to reset the filter yet on the unit? I have the same unit and I don’t see a hole for the paper clip reset on this. Thanks. You still liking the unit?

[@PriTeshla]

I haven’t had to yet but the filter replace indicator is actually a button like the others, so after replacing the filter press the indicator for 5 seconds and it should reset. I do still like the unit, my only gripe is that the air quality sensor doesn’t seem to detect cooking odors as well as my Shark purifier did, so I have to manually adjust the speed more often.

[@Medic7000]

@@PriTeshla thank you that worked. :)

[@Caps78]

Finely a review om this. How do you like it?

[@PriTeshla]

So far it’s great! I have to say the Shark one from my other video seemed to crank up the speed automatically way more often than this one does. But this one is noticeably more powerful. When it’s on high speed I can feel the air moving across the room. I would buy it again.

[@Caps78]

@PriTeshla thabk youso much for the reply. I'm probably going to buy it. But the winix 9800 ( same but looks different) I don't have Costco. Wish I did 2 years of filters and $80 cheaper. I'm hoping for a prime day sale on it. I have the winix 5500-2 and live it. Wanted something for a bigger room. Hope the sound level is close to the same. The 5500 is super quiet until it hits 4 then that bad boy takes off haha!! Appreciate the reply!!!

[@firstlast-pt5pp]

audio volume is too low

[@PriTeshla]

Sorry about that, one of my first vids and still learning the editor programs, thanks for the feedback!

[@zachmasters7397]

The CFM rating is what you're supposed to look at, the winix is like 340 cfm's the shark with the supposed 5 year filter not the one had is only 220 at Sam's club and it is 435 cfm's, cfm is how much air it moves, people lie on the box on how many times it can filter a room in ine hour since what was the air quality during their test, i could get a 150 dollar air purifier with 250 cfm and filter a 1000 sqft room 4 times in one hour on max speed if the air quality started off in the upper 90's, shark starts their test with 60% air quality and it takes them an hour to bring the room to 99-100% air quality, the higher the CDR cfm the faster it moves the air, if one air purifier is 250 cfm and another is 430 cfm, the 430 cfm moves the air 60% faster, google the cfm of your new air purifier and cimpar it to the shark.

[@PriTeshla]

I disagree. CFM indicates air movement yes, but doesn’t take into account filter efficiency. If I take out the filter on my Winix it’ll have great air flow, but what’s the point? But I agree they do lie on the box, which was my beef with the Shark. The Winix is AHAM certified to do what it says and uses the standard CADR measurement to determine sqft. The Shark carried no certification of how it determined the cleaning capacity listed on the box, and even then it was listed in a misleading way.
