It made a difference to my sleep

I dont want to speak too soon, but it seems that my sleep (and I suffer from insomnia), improved since I started using it.

Great unit which has reduced my dusting to 1x every 4weeks. Breathing better, much more effective when cooking in open place space than just the range hood. Highly recommend.

FEATURES EXPLAINED

Auto Mode and Reactive Smart Sensor

The Winix Compact comes with Auto Mode and a built-in smart sensor, that continuously monitors your air quality. With Auto Mode on and when a change is detected, it automatically selects the best fan speed for the amount of pollution in the air and quickly filters it out.

Once the air is clean it will go back to the lowest setting, quietly running in maintenance mode until a new change is detected. This takes all the guesswork out or operating the unit and is the recommended mode to use.

Smart Air Quality Display

The Compact 4 stage is equipped with a colour-coded LED display that provides real-time feedback on your air quality. With three colours indicating different air quality levels, you can easily know the current state of your environment at a glance.

The three colour levels are:

  • Blue: Excellent Air Quality
  • Amber: Medium Air Quality
  • Red: Poor Air Quality

With the LED display you always know how clean your air is.

PlasmaWave® Technology

Exclusive to Winix, PlasmaWave technology is the 4th stage of purification that can be turned on or off as needed. PlamaWave technology assists in neutralising viruses, bacteria, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are in the air and that are drawn into the filters.

PlasmaWave works by creating hydroxyls which break down harmful contaminants at a molecular level. Unlike other methods, PlasmaWave does not emit harmful levels of ozone, ensuring your air remains clean and safe.
