Published on 09/12/2026 at 21:19 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Winix 5500-2 Air Purifier pairs a 4-stage filtration system with a 360 square foot room rating and a remote control. The manual lists 15 in(W) x 8.2 in(D) x 23.6 in(H), 15 lbs, and 70 W.
Filtration And Controls
Winix America says the 5500-2 uses a washable fine mesh pre-filter, a washable AOC carbon filter, a True HEPA filter, and PlasmaWave technology. The same product spotlight says the model is AHAM Verifide for 5 clean air changes per hour and includes auto mode, sleep mode, and a remote control.
Best Buy lists the model as a tower air purifier with 4 fan speeds, a HEPA filter, an air quality indicator light, and a CADR of 246 cubic feet per minute. It also lists the included filter as H-116130 and gives the warranty as 2 years for parts and labor.
Room Size And Dimensions
The manual gives the verified room size as 360 sq.ft. and the unit voltage as AC 120 V / 60 Hz. Best Buy lists the same 360 square foot room size, along with 23.6 inches in height, 14.9 inches in width, and 7.8 inches in depth.
Winix America says the unit is built for household use and ships with the remote control and user manual in the box. The manual also lists the replacement filter as Filter H / SKU: 116130 and says the warranty is valid only in the USA and Canada.
Price, Status, And Context
Best Buy currently lists the Winix 5500-2 at $99.99 as of 09/12/2026, while the same page shows this item is no longer available in new condition. In the same category, Best Buy also lists the Levoit Core 300-P at $99.99, which places the 5500-2 in the same entry-level room air purifier bracket.
For buyers who want a basic tower purifier with a remote, indicator light, and a 360 square foot rating, the 5500-2 keeps the spec sheet compact. The limits are just as clear: it is a corded 15 lb unit with no app support, and its replacement system uses filter model H-116130.
