^ Winix 9300 filters/ lifespan/ price
Unmistakably the 5-stage filtration is the main highlights and the reason to go for Winix 9300. Starting with the standalone washable pre-filter that traps large particles notably pet hairs, pet dander and dust. The CleanCel Anti-Bacterial Treatment would protect pre-filter from any micro-organism growth. For smaller airborne particles, the True-HEPA filter would effectively capture them at a rate of 99.97%. AOC Carbon Filter is yet another washable filter that would trap smelly odors from cooking or typically cigarettes. Finally the PlasmaWave help breaks down any odors and allergens to safe molecule without emitting any harmful ozone or byproducts.Winix 9300 is covered against

The challengers
Winix 9500
Better purifying coverage and CADR with a much more competitive deal, its hard to find any fault comparing it with Winix 9300.Winix NK100
Newer model with significantly better purifying coverage and CADR at a much lower price tag, the only thing lacking is CleanCel Anti-Bacterial Treatment filter which isn't too much to give in.Austin Air Pet Machine
Another Pet related air purifier with much better airflow delivery rate and coverage. There is a price to pay and is not pretty.In conclusion......
- Impressive 5-Stage PlasmaWave filtration with stand-alone pre-filter and carbon filter.

- Auto/ Sleep mode with Trio sensor (dust, odor, light) that each detects and work individually well.

- Winix 9500 would be a better option as it is only slightly more expensive (before discount) with better purifying capacity.
- CleanCel Anti-Bacterial Treatment might not be as practical as your HEPA filter that you could do with or without.
