It’s a good choice for the money. I’ll probably get one for my living area eventually. I just got a core 400 a few days ago for my bedroom. Note that you can get the 600 on Amazon for $260
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
They’re okay. I bought the core 400S and the Blue Air ‘Blue Signature’ tried both for a week. I had them running simultaneously downstairs. I wanted to see which one was more responsive to monitoring the air quality. Blue Air was hands down was the best. It was responsive enough to alert me within seconds that my air was polluted every time I used cleaning spray, toasted bread, sprayed perfume or whenever I dusted a surface. Unfortunately Levoit didn’t warn me about any pollutants unless I was 4-5 feet away from it. I ended up returning the Levoit and keeping the Blue Air

Funny to see this post when I'm actually converting my Levoit Core 400S to use ESPHome locally, so no cloud. Waiting on the parts to come in from Amazon today as a matter of fact. I've had the air purifier for a couple of years now and it's worked flawlessly. I've used the cloud dependent VeSync integration in home assistant and it's worked well. It's been running for over 2 years 24/7. I just clean it once a week and replace the filters on a regular basis. I've been trying to rid my home of cloud-based devices and have been converting everything over (or replacing) for local control. [Here's the conversion guide that I'm using.](https://github.com/tuct/esphome-projects/tree/main/projects/free-levoit)
Convert it over to ESPHome via [Free Levoit](https://github.com/tuct/esphome-projects/tree/main/projects/free-levoit) and make it local. I'm using method 2.
Just get a plain and simple air purifier. Don't get anything that ionizes or makes ozone like all the BlueAir stuff. We have a couple Levoit Core 400s that work great.

Durable, effective for allergens/odors, but loud on high.
