Which is better for a large living room?

The Platinum. It is rated for up to 800 sq ft and has four speeds and a timer. The Compact is rated for 250 sq ft.

Which removes smoke better?

On paper the Compact, with a listed smoke CADR of 200 versus 89 for the Platinum. Both rely on ionization rather than a HEPA filter.

Is the Platinum worth the extra money?

Only if you need the larger coverage, four speeds and the timer. If a small room is your target, the Compact does the same filter-free job for about $170 less.

Do either of these need replacement filters?

No. Both use washable collection plates or blades you wipe clean. Neither uses a disposable HEPA filter.

Are they safe to run overnight in a bedroom?

Both are quiet, but the Platinum lists ozone emissions of 3.0 and the Compact's blue light bothers some sleepers. Check the ozone spec if anyone in the room has respiratory sensitivity.

Both are filter-free with washable collectors, so life depends on cleaning. The Compact carries a 1-year warranty; the Platinum's warranty is not stated in the listing.
