Shark states 1000sqft of air change per hour, Winix is 1800sqft
Shark is refurb with 90day warranty, Winix is new with (I want to say) 2year warranty, plus Costco satisfaction coverage.
Can't comment on reliability of Shark, but I've got 3 Winix in the house. One of them being maybe 6-7 years old at this point. We use it almost daily.
On the Winix, I did have to open it up and tighten the fan when it started rattling at about 5 year mark. But I think even if someone had to replace it at that point, it would be totally worth it the price paid.
If you're looking for one, highly recommended.

14"D x 8"W x 21"H for those looking.
Ours have never experienced the whine that other people experience, thankfully. Ours has never lost wifi connection which is another thing I see people experience with these. The one in our bedroom is probably 4 or 5 years old at this point. It's also connected to Home Assistant, though I haven't explored much other than controlling it via home assistant versus the winix app. The filters are a little spendy, but we just catch them on sale and have a stack of them in the garage. When we vacuum out the outer mesh filter and see how much dust and dog hair it collects, we know it's worth the price of the filters.
Overall, very happy with these.
Has the price on this particular model changed at all in the last 3 years?
Winix C545
I paid $69.99 for a refurbished one 3 years ago on Woot. It is still operating just as well as the day I bought it & still basically silent during operation. I think I've changed the filter 3 or 4 times, operating it about 12 hours a day everyday.
The app for it was really buggy for a while, but it's not as bad now. It still disconnects maybe once every 2 months & refuses to reconnect for a few days, but that could be a problem with how far it is from the router.
