Which should you buy?
Winix wins on value — especially at Costco Canada where the C545 bundle includes 2 years of filters. The Levoit cleans a room slightly faster on turbo and has better carbon filtration for odours, but you pay more per year in filters. For wildfire smoke (PM2.5 capture), both are equally effective. If you're buying at Amazon.ca without a filter bundle, consider the Levoit seriously. If you can get the Costco C545 bundle, it's hard to beat.
