Levoit - Core 200S

\+1 for Levoit. Haven't had a single problem and we have 3 of them.

We have the Core 200S-P [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FJ678YK](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FJ678YK)

Did you make the “IKEA enclosure” or did it come with the printer? Some of them come with ventilation w/ filters. Despite my recent post about my makeshift printer purifier, FDM is (relatively) very safe. At least compared to resin printing. I print both PLA and PETG and haven’t had any issues. I don’t have an enclosure. The only material I’d avoid is ABS without proper ventilation. With your enclosure any airborne sediment is going to either collect on the inner walls or fall back down. It’s unlikely that any significant amount of VOCs will go beyond that. People here will most likely say, “that budget is too low for anything meaningful to protect against VOCs.” But, I’d say if you’re really worried about it and want something for peace of mind (knowing that it’s an imperfect solution) you can look at the Levoit core 200, Coway Airmega 100, or other SFF purifiers. Their CADR is pretty low and they have only a little bit of carbon, but it would at least be something. The reality is smaller / more economical purifiers are going to be limited with their performance. And that removing VOCs requires (large amounts) of carbon, you’re in a tight spot. However, unless you have existing medical conditions or are incredibly sensitive to air pollutants the risk factor is pretty low. I’d personally either: 1. just rely on the enclosure. 2. Create a makeshift vent with a PC fan + carbon sheet 3. Add a small purifier as close to the enclosure as possible.

I have a ~700 square foot 1 bedroom for me, my spouse, and our kid… just adopted two kittens and have 3 litter boxes (reluctantly) — one in bedroom, one in hallway, and one in living room. All stainless steel. If you don’t already have steel boxes then make the switch now! We also use the new Okocat Multi-cat Litter with plant-based odor block (dark green bag available on Chewy!). We have a Windmill purifier, Levoit 200S Core, and another Windmill purifier respectively in those areas. I’m allergic to dust mites and dander but also wanted to eliminate the pet smells in general. I swear on my family the smell has gone away running the units 24/7 and toggling between high/low/sleep/eco modes. Our kittens LOVE taking a dump in the bedroom litter box right as we decide to go to bed 😤🤣 and last night I reached over to put the Windmill unit on Boost mode. The scent discipated within a minute!

I have equivalent models in both. The Levoit gets louder and loses effectiveness after a while such that I'm not sure it's really even filtering anything anymore. My older Winix is functioning just fine.

I bought two bedroom sized Levoits. I have a cat and moderate allergies so I thought they were worth a try. I noticed an immediate improvement and that has been sustained for months. You do need to change the filters every three months but overall it’s been well worth the cost.

I don’t think I can post links but this is what I have: LEVOIT Air Purifier for Home Bedroom Dorm Room, Smart WiFi Alexa Control, AHAM VERIFIDE, 3-in-1 Filter with HEPA Sleep Mode for Allergens, Pollutants, Smoke, Dust, Core 200S-P, White

I have a bedroom size Levoit with a HEPA filter. It made a huge difference.

Sure, I’ll try but links often get removed. https://a.co/d/0yOIjlX

The leviot core 200s better price better spec and much quieter beside the “hepa” grade filter

Yes it is possible to develop a cat allergy later in life. There may also be a dose issue where he was fine visiting for a few hours but not living there. I dealt with this personally and this was the advice from my allergist. Make his bedroom a cat-free zone. Clean it thoroughly and keep the doors closed. Get an air-purifier for the bedroom. I use the Levoit core 200. Keep his sheets and towels away from the cats - preferably in his room. His laundry should be promptly brought back into his room once dried - no leaving a basket out on the couch. He can take allergy medicine. There are pills (I take generic Zyrtec) and nose sprays (I take generic Flonase) and eyedrops (I take generic Pataday). You can help to lower the cat dander burden in the rest of the apartment. Keep it clean, vacuumed and dusted. It is best if the allergic person does not do this chore. Consider draping a cat blanket over the couch and upholstered chairs and washing this blanket frequently. I use a large piece of fleece and it works great. It is like a magnet for cat hair and then I just wash it once a week. Your allergic roommate can just fold the blanket up and put it to one side when he sits on the couch. Grooming the cats frequently will also lessen the amount that they shed.

I have both of these. I like my Winix more than my Levoit for a few reasons. One is because of its flatter size compared to the cylinder, it just fits and looks better in rooms. I also believe the filters are cheaper and it's easier to find cheap generic replacements. Also the winix filters use less plastic than the levoit, which their round shape makes a bit weird and bulky. Lastly the air intake for the levoit is only at the bottom whereas the levoit is the entire length of the device. Only thing is make sure to shut off the plasmawave cleaning. It's an ionizer and, although they say otherwise, independent testing has found it creates ozone as a byproduct of ionization, even though they tout that its "bipolar" ionization. Ozone is an irritant to the lungs.

Seconding Levoit, we have a few Core 200S in our bedrooms and Vital 200S in the living room and basement. Got them a year ago and felt a big difference in air quality and less dust everywhere.
