Winix 6300-2 utilizes the same filter setup as Winix 5300-2 with the addition of a fine mesh pre-filter. Majority of the large particles such as dust, hair and fur would be captured by pre-filter so the carbon filter could perform more effectively in dealing with odors and gases. For micron size particles that could now be seen by naked eyes, you have True HEPA filter standing by. Lastly the permanent PlasmaWave Technology would create Hydroxyls that instantly neutralize all allergens and bacteria without creating any harmful ozone in the process.Noise And Energy Usage

Winix 6300-2 VS The Challengers
Winix 5500-2
Winix 5500-2 offers very similar spec but a higher grade carbon filter. The drawback to 5500-2 is the 3-stage filtration that lacks a pre-filter.
Winix 5300-2
Winix 5300-2 is a cheaper alternative that offers very similar spec and design. Again similar to 5500-2, it also lacks the pre-filter that would help improve on the carbon filter efficiency.
Blueair 403
If money is no issue Blueair 403 is a good option with its Blueair-unique advanced filter. Again the pricing could be a big factor.Pros
- Consistent airflow delivery rate that covers large purifying area.
- Pre-packed with 8 carbon filters.
- 4-stage filtration including the additional pre-filter and PlasmaWave technology.
- Carbon pre-filter that is great against common smokes and odors.
- True-HEPA filter that is highly capable of trapping small unseen airborne pollutants down to 0.3 micron size.
- 4 fanspeed with Auto mode and Sleep mode.
- Built-in timer with 3 pre-set option (1, 4, 8 hours).
Cons
- Lower grade carbon filter compare with AOC Advanced Granular Carbon Filter found in Winix 5500-2.
- Short filter lifespan where the deodorization carbon filter requires changing every 3 months.
- Limited stock availability that Winix 6300-2 might or might not be discontinued (no official word).
