Specifications Sheet

Performance

The Winix U450 Air Purifier’s CADR ratings are undoubtedly impressive for a model that’s designed to cover 450 sq. ft.—thanks to its 5-stage filtration system that includes a True HEPA filter.

The first stage of this system, which is the washable pre-filter, removes larger pollutants from the air as they enter the air purifier—thereby helping extend the life of the True HEPA filter. Note that the True HEPA filter, aside from removing 99.97% of smaller particles from the air, had also been treated with the CleanCel antimicrobial coating, which neutralizes airborne germs.

Next, the AOC carbon filter, which is also washable, removes gaseous contaminants like odors, smoke, and VOCs. And lastly, there’s the Winix PlasmaWave technology, which aids the other filters in purifying the air.
