It also adds Bluetooth for pairing, an on-unit display, and both Energy Star and ozone-free certification, at 25 W against the Winix 5510's 65 W. The Winix 5510 is the bigger machine, AHAM Verifide at 253 CFM for 392 sq ft against 161 CFM and 250 sq ft on the Levoit, and it wins on filtration with a washable pre-filter (the Levoit's is bonded and only brushable) plus a documented Home Assistant integration. Both are AHAM Verifide with a 2-year warranty. Pick the Levoit Eleva 300X for a bedroom where detailed readings and a screen matter; pick the Winix 5510 for a larger room.

What the differences mean

Sensor

The Levoit Eleva 300X reads PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 as separate values on its AirSight Plus 2.0 sensor. The Winix 5510 senses PM2.5 only.

Room coverage

The Winix 5510 is AHAM Verifide at 253 CFM for 392 sq ft. The Levoit Eleva 300X is AHAM Verifide at 161 CFM for 250 sq ft, sized for one bedroom rather than a living space.

Pre-filter

The Winix 5510's fine mesh pre-filter is washable. The Levoit Eleva 300X's pre-filter is bonded to the HEPA element and can only be brushed or vacuumed, never washed with water.

Ozone certification

The Levoit Eleva 300X has no ionizer and is certified ozone-free and Energy Star. The Winix 5510 includes a PlasmaWave ionizer stage and is not certified ozone-free.

Power draw

The Levoit Eleva 300X draws 25 W at its top speed against 65 W for the Winix 5510, a meaningful gap if it runs all day.

Display

The Levoit Eleva 300X has an on-unit AQI display cycling through PM1, PM2.5 and PM10. The Winix 5510 has only a three-colour LED indicator, with no numeric screen.

Which one to buy if

  • the room is a bedroom of about 250 sq ft
    Levoit Eleva 300X

    The Levoit Eleva 300X is AHAM Verifide for that size, at a lower price.

  • the room is a large living space closer to 400 sq ft
    Winix 5510

    The Winix 5510's 253 CFM CADR is rated for that footprint, where the Levoit would run at its louder speeds to keep up.

  • you want separate PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 readings
    Levoit Eleva 300X

    Only the Levoit Eleva 300X's three-channel sensor breaks particle sizes apart instead of blending them.

  • you want a washable pre-filter and Home Assistant support
    Winix 5510

    The Winix 5510's pre-filter rinses clean, and it documents a Home Assistant integration the Levoit does not.

What owners say

Owners of the Winix 5510 lead with two things: a low speed quiet enough to forget it is on, rated 23.5 dB, and results they can see, cooking smells, pet odour and wildfire smoke clearing within a day or two. The automatic sleep mode, triggered by a light sensor rather than a timer, gets particular credit for making it hands-off overnight. Their complaints are mostly about the smart features: linking Alexa needs a Winix account and a QR code, and the purifier does not behave like a native Alexa air purifier once connected. A few also note the Turbo speed is loud, and that Auto mode feels over-sensitive during the first week of use.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
