Levoit Air Purifier Review

★★★★★★★★★★

“Purchased the 300-P version over 1.5 years ago. Has been used in a 350 sq foot room every day on either the 1st or 2nd fan setting. No issues at all. Has performed great. My roommates use quite a bit of oil when cooking and this keeps my bedroom from smelling like a fry joint. Keeps the pet dander down as well. Easy to use, and OEM filters cost about $25. Makes a nice white noise for sleeping but also has a sleep mode that is super quiet. Nice bonus: you can turn off illuminated control lights on the top with a touch of a button!”

“I bought two to start because I wanted one for the living room and one for the litter box room. They’re working great, so I just ordered a third for our bedroom!Since we have four cats, I ordered the pet filters and kept the filters that arrive with the purifier as backup replacement filters. I’m planning to use the white filter that comes with the purifier for the bedroom since the cats don’t spend much time in there.If it’s within your budget, I would recommend purchasing multiple! The unit is slightly larger than I expected, but it’s still a nice size and very portable. The highest fan speed is pretty loud, but the low and medium settings are quiet like a white noise machine. It can certainly double as an air purifier and sleep fan! The lowest fan speed is still quiet though.”

“We have 2 in our house and looking to purchase a 3rd. Love these things! Ours run all the time and after a couple of years are still going strong! I've recommended them to quite a few people. I can't attest to any personal allergy relief since my immediate family doesn't really suffer from much (maybe due to the purifiers) but I do feel a peace of mind having them in our home, especially with pets! Does a great job to trap dust and debris. I am always very surprised to find how much these things pick up when I check/change the filter. I also appreciate the white noise that it gives off. We do run ours on the 3 setting most days and it provides a nice background noise, which is a personal preference for my family. There are 2 other lower settings which are much much quieter. The purifier is easy to use and easy to maintain (filters can be a pricey). I will actually clean the filter a few times before purchasing new and have found that works great for us and saves an extra buck. We have two white ones and find that they look nice and blend in well with the rooms they are placed in. One of the purifiers is in a space between the living room and kitchen area (most traffic and use) and the other is near our home office and entry. I feel that they do a good job for the space size. Would definitely recommend!”

“An air purifier is not a complicated device. It is a fan, and an air filter. The fan pulls air through the air filter, and catches various particles and impurities in the air. As long as you have a decent HEPA filter, and a fan that has enough velocity to circulate the room air through the filter effectively, it will work to clean the air. You can build one yourself with a box fan and some high quality furnace filters and duct tape if you have to.So what distinguishes this one from the hundreds of others out there, why is it so popular?(1) Low up front costs - this has enough power to handle a small room effectively and a true HEPA filter at a pretty low initial cost.(2) Easy to live with - the fan is very quiet except on high, and even on high it isn't obnoxiously loud. Changing the filter takes about 10 seconds and is easy to do. There is a pre-filter to catch large dust/animal hair and the like which you can vacuum to extend the life of the HEPA filter for small particles. The unit itself is not huge or ugly, so it can sit in the corner of most rooms without being objectionable.(3) Available filters - this unit's extreme popularity means that there will likely be filters available for many years.(4) It does work - I bought an air quality meter after the recent wildfire smoke episode, and it shows me that this thing does a pretty good job in small rooms. In bigger rooms it will still provide some benefit, but it is really not able to move enough air quickly enough to clean a large room.Downsides:The filters are relatively small, so they will have to be changed fairly frequently if you run the unit constantly. How frequently? I don't know, your mileage will vary depending on how many pets you have, how much wildfire smoke is in your area, etc. But I would expect to buy at least two a year if comparing this to other units that may have larger filters you need to change less often. So think about the total running costs and not just the up front cost when comparison shopping here. If you are thinking about saving money by trying to run this in a bigger room than it is designed for, don't go down that road. You do need to size your unit to the area you are trying to keep clean. A large room needs a larger unit with a bigger fan and a bigger filter. Also, all of these things are quieter if not running on high. So it is better to get a bigger unit even one that handles more than you are asking it to, and then run it slower and change the filters less often versus trying to save money up front and then driving the thing as hard as it will go to barely get any benefit.”

“Amazing! I bought this to handle dust, pet dander, and pet odor. I’ve had it for 6 months already and it has been so effective at reducing the amount of dust in the home. (See the attached photo from when I just swapped out the filter at 6 months. Crazy how much it’s picking up even when I vacuum twice a week).It’s not a perfect solution for pet odor. You definitely need to stack this as a solution with regular pet bedding cleaning and opening windows occasionally but overall it helps with baseline smells.It’s relatively quiet on the second highest setting. The highest setting is as loud as a white noise machine on a medium setting (so if you have a baby like I do this could be a two in one air purifier and sound machine).Overall I would definitely recommend to make keeping your home clean a bit easier! I bought two of them - one for my home office where my dog sits in there all day with me and one for the master bedroom. I’m not sure how it would work in much larger spaces but it works well in medium-sized bedrooms.”
