I only just got mine but so far it’s been amazing. Hoping it lasts longer than 2-3 years but will see.

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!

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.

There 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.

r/homeownersWhat are your best choices of home air purifiers? Have you actually notice any major difference?

I second a Levoit. I have 3 different models right now in my house. They’re decent price and they last for years if you replace the filters on schedule. And I run my a few hours a day, sometimes all day. I have the core 300S and the 300S-P with WiFi in my living room and primary bedroom. I have LV-H128 in my kitchen. I used to have the LV-PUR131S but it finally died after 5 years

Heya fthesemods, appreciate the shoutout. Levoit removing the HEPA certification from their products was a pretty disappointing development, and we're not gonna say that they're perfect products by any means (any models that claim to lock in VOCs with an activated charcoal filter should be taken with a MASSIVE grain of salt, since most household units don't contain nearly enough material to do that sort of thing). That being said, yeah, we found that most Levoit models provided similar filtration performance to models from other brands that did claim HEPA certification (like the Winix, which we still think is a pretty solid alternative to the Core 600S). We found them to be largely effective units overall, barring the Core 300S, which we found to provide a much lower clean air delivery rate than the basically identical Core 300 due to its less powerful motor.

I have a levoit core 300s, I’m pretty sure it has wifi but I don’t use it, I just use the buttons on the screen. Why does everything have to be wifi with an app!?

We have two of the Levoit Core 300S, and in the last year, we had had both replaced under warranty. Both had their motors fail. They first started making a squealing noise, which got louder and louder. First failed within 30 days, second after six months. We choose these since 3rd party replacement filters were easily available, but as of now, when they both eventually die after warranty, I'll be looking at another brand.
