The Levoit Air purifier has a newer motor and fancy app support, but the Winix air purifier has a cheaper filter replacement. With an ionizer, it can beat the top of the best air purifiers we tested if we compare them with the Purple Air Zen sensor. We are starting to use it now for all the comparisons.

4:30 The penetration of particles through a filter depends on air velocity. Even the fancy IQAir HealthPro Plus has the following in its specifications:
HEPA class H13 - MPPS efficiency: ≥ 99.95% @ 0.22 microns at airflow rate ≤ 112 cfm (190 m3/h)
HEPA class H12 - MPPS efficiency: ≥ 99.50% @ 0.16 microns at airflow rate ≤ 280 cfm (475 m3/h)
Today I learned! Thank you.
Found you on Reddit. Lots of research and watching your videos. Went with the Levoit Vital 200s using your link. Hopefully you get a little kick back
Thank you! It's super appreciated.
@ we like it so far. Running it in the kitchen and it definitely helped with cooking odors. I’ll give it a month and try another one for our room. Do you personally run one in every room? Thanks
@@johnandstephanie377 A good place to use one. We do have pretty much have one in every room but I do have a lot! plus my wife and sons has quite severe asthma so makes sense to keep the indoor air clean if I can. I think kitchen and bedroom are most important rooms for most people.
I love the little tune my Winix plays every time I turn it on
Same I noticed the Coway models also have a little tune also.
I just started using the Winnex & absolutely love it. It works perfectly.
Great to hear I also like the little tune they play when you switch them on!
around 2021, I realized (or so I thought) that there was gonna be a run on air purifiers, so I picked up one of the only ones I could find -- the winix 5500-2. I liked it well enough that I bought a second one; they're very easy to use and quite sleek.
You got a great one considering how many bad devices were being pushed because of the pandemic! Glad you’re happy with it and thanks for taking the time to share.
Please review the Winix C610. CADR similar to 5500-2 but a lot smaller and different design. I’m curious if similar CADR numbers but in a different design affect REAL world tests.
Great work !
Thanks will look at getting this soon. Is that Costco version ?
Any chance you will do a review on the Philips 4200?
Yes will add to list!
Guys, I think there's a typo in the results of noise test. It says that the 5500-2 noise level only 2.5 dB in speed 2.
If it's not a problem for you, please review the new Winix 5510.
Doh will make sure it’s updated on the web version, thanks for letting me know. Have tested the 5510 will film very soon!
@HouseFresh oh, man, that's great! Thanks!
The carbon pellet filter will always but the Winix on top for me. I appreciate having an app for my purifier but it's been fine without it. I like both companies, I just needed odor control in my living room so Winix 5500-2 was the winner.
Makes sense and I am always surprised at the carbon amount you get for such a low priced device as it often is more than much higher cost air purifiers! Hopefully Winix don’t realise and start putting the cost up 😅
what do you think about UFESA PF4500 Silent Air Purifier 35W?
Seems very low CADR around 55 cfm so would be hard to get multiple air changes in even the smallest of rooms. I would reccomend going for something with at least 100 cfm if you can.
I have 2 Levoit Vital 200s at work for our office (company paid for those, benefit of having company Amazon ordering privilege's) and one Vital 200s at home that I bought first before I found the Winix C545 on Winix website for $70 refurbished and well I can buy 2 of those for the price of one Vital 200s. I already bought one and just bought another C545 because the performance at speed 2 (basically silent) on both is effectively the same. The Levoit app is still superior to the C545 but at least it does have an app. I like the app support and the look of the Vital 200s (plus it has a better carbon filter) but I can't justify the difference in price when the air filtering performance is the same.
Getting the Winix C545 for that price does make it hard to have anything compete! For most people the best bang for the buck is likely Winix but I do know lots of people want to pay for a different look/design. Winix seems to have listened as there newer models are a little smaller with more interesting design. But will have to fully test them to see if they can stand up with the solid older models but they do look a little nicer.
Winix here
Overall I think I have to say I am also.
Unfortunately i can't get the 200s in the UK
Yes it supper annoying as I have heard from people on here that the vital 200s is now available in Germany! Come on Levoit bring it to Blighty!
Team Winix, not very exciting or fancy but a solid performer
Have to agree with that. A solid work horse of an air purifier.
video idea: most compact purifier with the most power in a large room
Have filmed this so will release in a week or so! A great idea.
