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 the Levoit 300s for our small bedroom and it’s great. I use the 400s for a large room and 600s for the main living space. Seem to do the trick quite well
I have one on my bedroom, it realy works for me.
For dust it’s good as well
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

Levoit Core 300S is great.
For 15m² next to your computer, grab the **Levoit Core 300S**. Super quiet (22dB sleep mode), compact, has app and auto mode . **Winix T500** is also solid but a bit bigger. Xiaomi 4 is okay but not as quiet . I'd go Levoit. Here's a [**list**](https://medium.com/@dejan-k/best-air-purifiers-under-200-in-2026-360060a1cdf4) if you wanna compare.
For an 11m² room with no masks, you want high CADR and quiet operation so it doesn't mess up your audio. The **Levoit Core 300S** is perfect here — CADR 240 m³/h, cleans the room in under 10 minutes, 22dB sleep mode (super quiet for recording), app control . Under $200. **Coway AP-1512HH** is another solid option — CADR 233-246 CFM, 24dB on low, real-time air quality light . [You can see my full list here](https://medium.com/@dejan-k/best-air-purifiers-under-200-in-2026-360060a1cdf4). Stay safe.
