Effective Contaminant Filtration
The Winix ZERO Compact excels at removing a wide range of pollutants from the surrounding air supply, and it can effectively trap particles down to 0.3 microns in size.
Therefore, it reduces the pollution levels of many common contaminants, including:
- 5 dust, pet dander, pollen, mould
- Odours, VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds), Smoke
- Bacteria & viruses
Advanced Four-Stage Filter
To remove so many pollutants, the ZERO Compact uses a four-stage method that starts with a pre-filter and ends with Winix’s unique PlasmaWave technology.
- Pre-Filter - Captures large dust particles and hairs to ensure optimal usage of inner filter layers.
- Carbon Filter - Reduces odours, smoke and organic particle levels.
- HEPA Filter - Removes 99.7% of all particles such as dust, pollen and mould spores.
- PlasmaWave Technology - Neutralizes bacteria, viruses and gases through the use of Hydroxyl ions.
For best results, Winix recommends brush cleaning the pre-filter every 14 days and replacing the HEPA all-in-one filter whenever the “Check Filter” indicator lights up on the interface.
Adaptive Sensor Technology
In our experience, the Winix ZERO Compact’s four-stage system is incredibly effective at removing pollutants. However, it shines best when used in combination with the inbuilt particle sensor through AUTO mode.
When set to AUTO mode, the ZERO Compact can independently alter its fan speed based on the detected air quality. Therefore, during periods of low air quality, it can increase the speed setting to reduce pollutant levels swiftly.
Additionally, the unit converts the air quality information it gathers into one of three levels. An LED indicator then displays the corresponding level by changing its colour to either blue, amber or red.
High Clean Air Delivery Rate
Rounding out the filtration package offered by the ZERO Compact is the ability to alter the fan speed. There are a total of three settings available, and the highest level, “High”, offers the best filtration performance.
When used on the “High” setting, the ZERO Compact can produce CADR’s of:
- Pollen CADR: 147 m3/h
- Dust CADR: 154 m3/h
- Smoke CADR: 149 m3/h
Additionally, in rooms sized 50 m², it can complete a full air change in an hour. However, the air change rate will be faster in smaller spaces. For example, in rooms up to 12 m², it can complete five full air changes in an hour.
User-Friendly Interface
One great advantage of the Winix ZERO Compact is the intuitive touch interface. Designed to be easy for anybody to use, it allows for quick and complete control over the unit in a couple of taps.
Balancing utility and simplicity, Winix has done a great job keeping the interface free from clutter. However, the minimal design still features a full set of buttons for every function and feature.
As a result, it’s easy to change settings for fan speeds and operation modes or digest useful information about the surrounding air quality.
Quiet & Efficient
Beyond being easy to use, the ZERO Compact is quiet when active. While operating at its lowest fan speed, it only produces 27 dB of noise. That’s equivalent to the sound of rustling leaves, making it suitable for use at night time.
Even at its fastest fan speed setting, it only produces 54 dB of noise, which is comparable to the sound of a quiet conversation. Overall, our experience has shown it to be good at staying quiet while it does its job.
Matching those quiet noise levels, the ZERO Compact is also power efficient. When active, it only requires a maximum of 55 watts of power. As a result, it isn’t expensive to run, even for long periods.
Compact Modern Design
We also have to credit the ZERO Compact’s modern and slimline aesthetic, which is very clean and pleasing to the eye. Therefore, it can comfortably blend into most environments and is easy to place.
Additionally, the compact design is very light, and it only weighs an astonishing 3.1 kg. As a result, it’s insanely easy to carry between different rooms.
Certified Allergenic Relief
Last but not least, the Winix ZERO Compact is certified by multiple industry bodies, including ECARF (European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation) and Allergy UK.
Therefore, it can help to alleviate symptoms caused by strong allergies to airborne particles such as dust or pollen.
