Our Verdict

Levoit Core 200S

Windmill Air Purifier

The Windmill Air Purifier is the better choice than the Levoit Core 200S if you want stronger particle filtration, better room coverage, and an onboard air quality sensor with automatic Eco mode. The Levoit, however, is significantly more affordable, allowing you to place multiple units around your home for roughly the price of a single Windmill. It's also more compact, making it easier to fit on a desk or nightstand.
