WINIX A230 DESIGN AND SIZE
Winix does not mess about with its budget air purifier. For a while now producers of cheaper air purifiers have made more use of common air purifiers rather than smart ones. People demand the best air purifiers out there may want something like the Winix A230 or Winix A231.
Of course, the air purifier is purely made out of plastic, which will be the case for an air purifier many years from now on. The plastic air purifiers are easier to make, so that’s why the selection of the matte black color is really wise for Winix. Their Winix A230 looks more premium than any others in the same segment. Even for the Winix A231, which you can grab one from this below link, it’s utterly better-looking than other air purifiers.
As a simple air purifier for bedroom, you should expect a compact device. The dimension is nearly the same as other bedroom-centric air purifiers, at 9.5 x 9.5 x 14.6 inch. In fact, the Winix A230 is a bit bigger.
Winix makes use of the familiar 360° air grill, but the shape of the device isn’t cylinder like the Levoit Core 300. You will have a bigger base for more solid build, and it looks far more reserved. The air flow system concept is bottom-to-top, which is reasonable.
The top control panel of this Winix A230 is simple and elegant, though I prefer the control of the Blue Pure 411 Auto a bit more. It consists of only one on/off button and fan speeds changer.
Winix A230 weighs 6.75 lbs, meaning you can grab it wherever you want.
WINIX A230 ROOM COVERAGE
The Winix A230, like the rest of the manufacturer, is AHAM verified. So to say, you get a certified and tested air purifier, to clean no less than 230 square feet. This is the size of an average bedroom in the U.S.
WINIX A230 SOUND
The Winix A230 is truly an air purifier for bedroom, as its noise level is just 25 decibels (db) on minimum. It is quieter than the whisper, so you can imagine using the device while sleeping.
WINIX A230 POWER CONSUMPTION
One of our most FAQs is “Do air purifiers use a lot of energy?” In fact, air purifier must be used for a long time to be efficient. And power consumption is one important criteria to review if this air purifier is good or not.
Actually using the Winix A230 won’t require much power consumption, because its rated power is just 55 watts. Yes, you may argue that its power consumption is a bit higher than other $100 air purifiers you have read, but don’t forget this air purifier is rated Energy Star for great required energy/fan power ratio.
OUR VERDICT
The Winix A230 and Winix A231 are excellent value for money, particularly if you can make do with the Smart Sensor. Getting an unmatched performance at this price, while utilizing the smart way to control the air purifier is wonderful. However, if you prefer using Alexa to control your air purifier, you should look for the Levoit Core 200S.
