"They do a good job of removing smoke from the room."
"We use the 300 in our living room which is a decent size and open floor plan with our dining room and kitchen, both large spaces and the 300 does great! ... We’ve asked our guests if there’s any pet smells and they always say no. ... We keep our 300 purifier within 6ft of the dog kennels too to help with residual funk from them."
"never had any issues with odor! ... Helps for dust as well."

"I’m using levoit filters at home and they’re fine and the 2.5 levels are very low. I can also connect them to home assistant which is a big plus for me so I can monitor the filter level(though I’m guessing this is just an arbitrary use based calculation). But I do regret buying them due to the replacement thing."
"the levoit filters were expensive to replace."
"They just wear out their filters sooner."

"It does not have a hepa filter. ... Amazon tricked me as well. There's a whole scandal about Levoit advertising as hepa when they are not"

Small_Baby_5087 1.0Buy [this](https://x.com/BestDealsxx/status/1965030549237752044) one if you can go to this price Definitely worth the money and lovely looking, compact but sizeable filter section; I have had other brands but this is superb Quiet in running, economical and very easy to change the filters (which are not cheap but they only need changing every 6-8 months - others are much sooner) Clears smells and vaping smoke well, also cat dust and fur from the air so perfect for my needs
some_questionz 1.0So far, it doesn't feel like it's doing anything for the bedroom, and I've had it a few days.ive actually been waking up itchier than when I did not have it in the room. It does not have a hepa filter. Amazon tricked me as well. There's a whole scandal about Levoit advertising as hepa when they are not https://levoit.com/products/core300-p-air-purifier?srsltid=AfmBOoqK509UC81aTdqXBCIyTOz3_VaAnSjaBC8ecGykAdQcqVQs6SjE
NeitherSparky 0.5Some Levoits do have an ionizer function. :P The ones you buy in the big box stores tend to have it, on the box it will say “PlasmaPro”. I bought a model on Amazon that does NOT have the PlasmaPro function. Now, probably, you can just not turn on PlasmaPro and it’s fine but I wasn’t taking any chances.
I literally do not know. When I asked the company the same question they just denied that ionization can harm birds. I returned the PlasmaPro model I had bought at Target and ordered one without from Amazon, I didn’t want to take any chances.
5yleop1m 0.4https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Purifiers-Efficiency-Intelligent-Purifier/dp/B08LH7XZ3H. This one but the amazon listing isn't available anymore. I think the new ones also support it. Also I believe have different devices available for different regions. I also have a Levoit purifier but that one requires a cloud connection to integration with HA, no local options afaik.
FYI HEPA filters are basically marketing BS in the consumer world. Very few filters with "HEPA" in their description are actually capable of meeting HEPA standards. $400 for a 200sqft capable air purifier is crazy. I have a Levoit core-300 for my 100sq ft room and it clears out my vape smoke in a matter of seconds. I believe its possible to get activated charcoal filters for this to help reduce odor, if not you can find activated charcoal sheets or packets to put inside the air path. There's a community supported HA integration for Levoit, but its reliant on the cloud service. You can flash the Core 300 with ESPHome though and have it work completely locally. I also have a Xiaomi Air Purifier 3C, it also relies on a community maintained integration with Xiaomi Miot but it can work locally too, I know cause I have it blocked from internet access and it works fine. There is also a way to flash ESPHome on these, but I haven't tried. I'm using that one in my living room which is somewhere around 800 - 900 sqft but its a double height living room so there's a tremendous amount of volume there. Side note, make sure you've looked at fixing other parts of your house before getting an air purifier. Make sure your AC ducts are clean, and the filter for your AC is working properly. Though don't put a high MERV filter in there unless your air handler is designed for it. You can actually filter more without putting extra stress on your air handler with thicker filters, but in my experience its rare to see units that can hold the thicker filters without modification. Also make sure your windows are sealed properly.
I have a Levoit 300 which can be flashed with ESPHome for full local control. You can find a GitHub link to the process in my profile/comments, just search "levoit". Should be there somewhere.
They should be the same, but I don't know 100%. I bought mine about 2 years ago.
al4tu5 0.4I have a Levoit air purifier, specifically the Core 300. It’s $99, works well, and is nice & quiet. They sell a filter that goes with it made for “pet allergies” specifically, it’s $36 and is described to absorb pet odors and alleviate allergies! I don’t have this, I’m just using the filter it came with for now but I’ll probably consider buying it when the time for replacement comes. The regular filter in the system is still great for dust/pollen/pet dander/etc.
AshtheViking 0.4I've lived in basement apartments for years and have always felt the air quality was poor so bought a couple air purifiers for my bedroom and main living area(Levoit Core 300). I definitely feel there's been an improvement. Then at work (old government building) I kept feeling like I was getting ill when I was in office, like the start of a cold but I would be fine the next day or while working from home. Bought a cheaper air purifier (Jafanda JF100) for there and now it doesn't happen. If it gets shut off I feel crappy within a few hours of being there.
aufybusiness 0.4Levoit air purifiers. You can get pet filters. I got a core 300 and it seems good
biking4jesus 0.4A Levoit Core 300 is not sufficient at really cleaning the air if you're going beyond PLA, or printing high frequency or long durations. Look at a HEPA for sure, which the Core 300 claims to be. We have their older "200" HEPA model and it barely keeps regular dust and allergens out of the air. I would make sure it's got activated carbon/charcoal. Check out a Medify or Alen air purifier.
blackistheshade 0.4There isn’t anything wrong with Levoit. Lots of people use them without any issue. I am one of those people. Great machine, really makes a difference to the air quality.
I just bought the core 300, non smart version. Early days, but in the couple of weeks that I have been using it, no problems whatsoever and I am really happy with it. As you said, night mode is very quiet.
I have a couple of Levoit air purifiers, really happy with them. After purchasing one for the living room, I decided to buy another one for the bedroom. I have breathing problems and I dislike stuffy rooms. Have a little dig around, there is lots of great information on Levoit and other brands. Good luck!
Core 300 and core 300s.
I have recently purchased a Levoit core 300. Although I have only had it a few weeks, I can honestly say that it has really improved the air quality in my place. Yes it is circular and no, there isn’t any smell from it apart from the ‘new’ smell that you sometimes get from appliances. That being said, I have never had an air purifier before so nothing to compare it to. As I said, I have not had it very long, but I am so pleased with it that I am thinking of buying more. It is definitely a brand for you to consider.
I have recently purchased a Levoit core. Although it is early days, maybe a week or so, the air feels cleaner in the room it is in. I may in the future, purchase one more. I will be purchasing the same brand. No complaints so far.
I have recently purchased a Levoit Core 300. Although I have only been using it for a few weeks, I am impressed with the brand and its performance. No pets, but wanted one for air improvement. The room is a lot fresher when it is working. It really does help with cooking smells. All in all I am happy with it.
Bratmerc 0.4Just to second this, I use the Levoit Core 300 and find it good. Affordable too.
