Our Verdict
Winix 5530
Levoit Eleva 300X
The Winix 5530 is a more versatile air purifier than the Levoit Eleva 300X. The Winix is the bulkier and slightly noisier unit of the two, but it has a considerably higher max particle filtration rate, allowing it to clear the air in an equivalently sized space roughly 40% faster. The Winix maintains a performance advantage at lower, quieter fan speeds too.
