A word of appreciation. The music is not necessary and makes hearing what you have to say more difficult. No one cares about the music we care about what you are telling us. Thank you for your consideration on this issue.
Thank you so much! I have a little one at home and has always had this concern at the back of my mind despite manufacturer claims. It’s such a relief to know that they are honest 😄
Hi, but could you measure ozone levels in room after keeping it working for some time and this time measure it from another spot and not from the vents since i'm guessing electrons released in the air combine to form ozone.. so it may not happen in the machine. So can u check the room for ozone?
Just got this air purifier on March 8th 2024 and so far so good. I was wondering about the PlasmaWave tech as others in the comment section mentioned. I'm actually glad this information is available and it popped up quick as i looked it up not taking me to random videos but directly to the point. Thanks! Great video by the way.
Amazing work, thank you for making this video. Like the other viewers, I was also a little concerned after reading the Amazon reviews. Guess i'll turn the PlasmaWave back on for now.
Not trying to worry you, just FYI, I was researching this 5500-2 unit and read that its Plasmawave function does produce ozone at about 3 parts per Billion. That is an insanely small amount, and personally I would not worry about it. Just wanted to mention it because while this is a good video, the testing meter they used only measured in parts per Million so that’s why it didn’t register on their meter. If it makes you feel any better, the 5500-2 is CARB-certified. CARB is a California safety agency that does extensive testing and will not certify anything that produces more than 5 ppb of ozone. I’m about to buy this 5500-2, it seems amazing for the price.
@@oscarescobedo8311 I'm not an expert but everything I've researched says ozone breaks down into regular oxygen in less than an hour at low concentrations, or in about 3-4 hours at high concentrations. 3ppb is an extreeemely low concentration so I'm guessing it breaks down in a matter of minutes. Or maybe 3ppb is the leftover amount that the unit regenerates faster than it can break down, until you turn Plasmawave off. Either way, it's not going to build up over time. I did buy the 5500-2 a few months ago. I usually run it w/ the Plasmawave turned off just in case. But I have used it w/ Plasmawave on when trying to get rid of chemical odors. I left it running for hours and didn't notice any adverse effects
Thanks for putting to rest all the people freaking out about the PlasmaWave. We bought one of these units today at walmart and have 2 more on order from Winix. We're hoping to reduce our allergy symptoms.
It does something because PW always makes me lightheaded and a headache I keep it turned off. It’s for a 2k square for area in my 150ft square space room. I’ve tested how I feel while Pw is on makes me feel icky
Yes, that’s exactly the case. According to others’ research, this unit’s Plasmawave function produces about 3 parts per Billion of ozone. I wouldn’t worry about such a miniscule amount. But it is there. If that worries you I recommend looking up this unit’s CARB certification, hopefully that will reassure you.
First off. Great video. I wanted to ask the make and model of your handheld particulate reader. I find that the items on Amazon are not accurate. I have an older house and I want to ensure that the air quality is good for my family. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :D
We use this particle counter from PCE for the testing device (PCE-PQC 10). www.pce-instruments.com/us/measuring-instruments/test-meters/particle-counter-pce-instruments-particle-counter-pce-pqc-10us-incl.-calibration-certificate-det_5892993.htm?_list=kat&_listpos=4
Wow I didn't know there was anything to worry about with this brand. Just bought WINIX C610 4-Stage True HEPA Air Purifier With Wi-Fi from Costco and now I'm worried because the machine is giving off a weird smell.
Just curious, did you check if there was ozone with the PlasmaWave light off? I'm sensitive to ionizers, and they give me a sore throat. I recently bought a Winix 5500-2 and had it running at night. After three nights of waking up with a sore throat and the PlasmaWave light off, I decided to keep it on. That night, I woke up without a sore throat. So, I think the setting might be reversed on my unit!
when you tested the winix purifiers, besides there were no ozone coming out, does the purifiers produce negative or positive ions? Because negative ions have multiple benefits and i am really interested on knowing if they are coming out or not. Thanks
I'm using the winix nk100 and it emits 0.05ppm according to their own instructions. Is this safe to use in my small apartment? I have another plasmawave one as well, a sharp plasmawave model that apparently emits 0. Going to use both to rid my place of dust
Aweseome video. Do you know if the original Winix 5500 Plasmawave (or Winix WAC5500) produces ozone? I have an old model and want to know how it works. I'd even send it to you to test if you'd like because it's hard to find now. Would be cool to see how the old 5500 compares to the new 5500-2 one, in a side-by-side video or something.
Thanks…i literally just unboxed mine and as soon as i took the plastic off i was like “WAIT…which filter goes first”😂😂 i was watching youtube while i did it tho
Thank you very much ! i ws reading some revieuws on amazon that it does emit ozon... somebody said his parakeet bird died after 2 days of use... The purifier was standing right next to the bird cage
@@RobertoMikiMD they were used Canaries in the coal mines to protect miners from gas because they died with the slightest amount. The parakeet episode might been similar.
@@LastTrump7 After reading a couple of scientific articles, I think the measurements we made rule out ozone as the culprit in the death of the bird. It looks like exposure of 0.5 PPM is needed to hurt a Japanese quail which is a little bigger than a parakeet. For chickens, 0.05 PPM of ozone causes problems such as slower growing, increased mortality and less eating. In pigeons, exposure to 0.014 PPM did not cause lungs to produce a protein indicating damage but exposure to 0.03 PPM did cause lungs to produce a protein indicating damage. So, I believe the ozone meter that I used should have been able to pick up ozone levels that might hurt a parakeet/bird. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa8051 www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1056617119312103 www.researchgate.net/profile/Alfredo-Martinez-4/publication/7814370_Identification_of_Adrenomedullin_in_Avian_Type_II_Pneumocytes_Increased_Expression_after_Exposure_to_Air_Pollutants/links/0deec52949ff659235000000/Identification-of-Adrenomedullin-in-Avian-Type-II-Pneumocytes-Increased-Expression-after-Exposure-to-Air-Pollutants.pdf
Hi Roberto, can you please check the ozone levels for Daikin MC55 [the subsequent code may be different in your country, mine is MC55XVM6] ? It has ActiveIon and Streamer plasma technology, both of which I have disabled, yet I find myself having these headaches when I use the purifier. Thanks!
Hi thank you for posting these videos! Anyway you can test the popular Levoit 400s/600s Plasmapro technology, would like to know if it produced ozone :)
winix.ch/en/blog/plasmawave-technology/ The above is the description by the company. In short it is a type of ionizer that creates both positive and negative charges which is different from the traditional ionizer which only creates negative charges.
I will need to do some research on hydroxyls. But after a brief and prelim google search I found that it is common with gas stoves and cooking. Sounds like something to think about. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I am not sure if I can test for this. Has anyone else tested for hydroxyls on other channels and videos? If so please post a link.
@@RobertoMikiMD Of course! No unfortunately I haven't found any third party tests, but searches online have found similar issues as ozone and other like technologies... Amount used in air purifiers aren't enough to do anything meaningful, and they are extremely damaging
Ozone is a O3. Ozone is usually isolated to the upper atmosphere and protects us from UV light and other radiation from the sun. But down here in the lower atmosphere ozone can be poisonous.
It might not create much ozone, but it will most definitely create dark rings around your pictures on your walls overtime. That’s because the ions attach themselves to particles and they want sticking on the walls. Keep plasma wave turned off. You have been warned. As for the device itself… I love it, and it’s almost perfect. That is If it wasn’t for that stupid blue light that completely engulfs your entire room at night. And putting the machine in sleep mode doesn’t help because it brings your machine to an absolute crawl and makes it almost useless. Consumers have complained about this over and over again, but the people at Winx just aren’t listening. We don’t want the blue light!!! Get rid of it! It’s too fucking bright! And people who want a nice looking unit don’t want to put electrical tape over it to where it looks like you got it from a pawn shop!
PW makes me feel lightheaded, dizzy and gives me a headache. I don’t trust it and NOBDY CAN CLEARY EXPLAIN WHAT IT DOES. Like tell me like I’m a 8 yr old. It makes + & - this and that in the air, it charges the air. Like what? Ok so what does it DO??? Remove smells?
PlasmaWave….NOBDY CAN CLEARY EXPLAIN WHAT IT DOES. Like tell me like I’m a 8 yr old. It makes + & - this and that in the air, it charges the air. Like what? Ok so what does it DO??? Remove smells?
From what I understand it causes particulates in the air (dust) to clump together and fall/stick to the ground/walls for easier filtration (going into the purifier) or cleaning (vacuuming or wiping surfaces). Less floaties.
Uh, there were lots of problems with your testing. #1 , you aren't suppose to put an ozone monitor on top of another electronic b/c it can block/mask the ozone and create electronic interreference with the unit preventing a registration. #2 Your ozone measuring device measures in PPM, you need a more sensitive device that measures between 20-50 PPB or parts per BILLION. I had actually talked to the manufacturer of the ozone detector for that device [it is used in other devices] and the chief engineer told me it was not going to detect the safe range for people [20-50 PPB -depending on which gov't study you go by]. If you notice, your meter is in PPM or parts per million and only goes to the 2nd digit. 90 PPB which would be unsafe, is not even going to register on a PPM meter, b/c the difference is basically 1000, and you measured in with just 2 digits. The other thing is even a .01 on your meter would be unsafe and there is actually a 10% error range on that sensor. Meaning you could have 200 ppb [extremely unsafe] and it won't show. Basically, you need a better [more expensive ozone meter]
Thank u for feedback. I can understand the concern for electronic interference. On the topic of ppb, I think your math is wrong. 0.01 ppm is equivalent to 10 ppb. So, this meter will pick up the levels of ozone for which you r concerned.
@@RobertoMikiMD Well I stand corrected on that calculation point.😆😅🤣 The plus minus on the sensor doesn't capture accurately lower ppb like 10-20-30, apparently you'd need a way more expensive sensor. Did you ever try to measure for ozone by putting the device lower and further away from the machine [as ozone sinks]. Also how long did you run the machine with plasmawave on before testing for ozone?
@@hernandayolearyallda I can definitely run the test again with the ozone meter lower and away from the machine. I still have the monitor and the purifier. I ran the machine for around 1 minute but can run it for longer. Any suggestions? It would be easy to do. As far as getting a more sensitive ozone meter I can try to look for one but I do have a budget.
@@RobertoMikiMD Yeah, best /most accurate ones usually going to run you a few thousand dollars 4-6k, the best cheapest one I seen was the air quality egg based off of aqmd testing which is a gov organization that independently test them, that starts around $1k, the rest of the ones tested, [and they tested dozens] aren't really accurate. There is a cheaper tester called eco-sensor which claims by the manufacturer to be accurate up to about 20 ppb in the "safe range". But I can't find any independent test to support it. That one is around 300-500$$$. Also the safe limits are based off of long exposures like 8 hours, so it is the kind of thing you'd have to run for like 8-12 hours [ionizer] and the leave the device lower to the ground [ozone sinks] to try to pick up something.

One question about the Ozone Detector: what is the resolution of the device. Perhaps it’s not sensitive enough to detect ozone.
Resolution of device is 0.01 ppm per the manufacturer. OSHA has a limit of 0.1 ppm over 8 hours or 0.2 mg of ozone per cubic meter of air.

Low-Level OZONE Detector | 0.01 ppm | NIST Traceable
So is secure to have at home with kids? No ozone in the air?

@@RobertoMikiMD Yeah, best /most accurate ones usually going to run you a few thousand dollars 4-6k, the best cheapest one I seen was the air quality egg based off of aqmd testing which is a gov organization that independently test them, that starts around $1k, the rest of the ones tested, [and they tested dozens] aren't really accurate.
There is a cheaper tester called eco-sensor which claims by the manufacturer to be accurate up to about 20 ppb in the "safe range". But I can't find any independent test to support it. That one is around 300-500$$$.
Also the safe limits are based off of long exposures like 8 hours, so it is the kind of thing you'd have to run for like 8-12 hours [ionizer] and the leave the device lower to the ground [ozone sinks] to try to pick up something.
Turn off damn music

Thank you for advice! It has been noted in other videos.
Test on bird
music too loud
