I didn’t know that, but I will definitely contact Winix to confirm this information. Thanks!

Would be nice if they were upfront about that in the product description. They market it as an air quality sensor, which I guess is kind of true in a sense.

It’s written in the user manual and I confirmed with Winix support that it detects only odors.

I don’t think your basement would be a good place for the filter as the high humidity may saturate the filters over time. With that being said, I think your bedroom or your main room would be fine. I have mine in my bedroom and my only complaint is that it’s quite bright on any mode but night mode, but I would prefer it to be at a higher fan speed. Hope you find this helpful!

My home was flooded back in 2020 and now i’m having health problems. I just installed a uv light into my HVAC system.
My rancher home is 900 square feet. The 7 ft flood was in the basement, got out most of the mold but salt deposits still on floor. Using a large dehumidifier and it is difficult to get humidity down to 45-50. Mostly 60-70.
Got the house air ducts cleaned last year but I get lots of dust from the AC/Heater gas blower system.
Question
Where is the best section of the house to put this air purifier? Basement, my bedroom or main room has cathedral ceilings?
