Levoit - PlasmaPro 300S

I have asthma and allergies really bad from having 2 cats. I have 2 levoit 600 and 1 levoit 300. They will definitely help your asthma and allergies. Also talk to your doctor about a daily inhaler or an injection called dupixent. The dupixent is a complete game changer it completely alleviates allergies and asthma. For the cats I suggest getting them on liveclear from purina. My cats were sending me to the hospital every two weeks. I stopped taking the dupixent for a while and I'm super regretting it! I should be back on it in a week! I haven't been able to breathe in my house which has made sleeping a nightmare. So your not alone if this what your experiencing.

I have a Blueair classic and also a Levoit 300. My late husband had allergies and when we got the Blueair they were vanquished so we knew it worked. The Levoit is by the litter box and I know it works. 😁 But the filter for the Blueair is pricey!

Get the Levoit 300S model, it’s clean way more square footage (900-1000) at the same wattage as the 200S model. It’s literally the perfect balance of cleaning as much area as possible with also keeping your electricity bill low.

Hands down the coway, which is the wirecutter pick and works so great (we have two). Runner up is the Levoit 300, we have two of those as well. They are cheaper and not hepa certified but theoretically work pretty similarly, Levoit is a slightly more dodgy company. What do we use it for - covid prevention and air quality when cooking / generally.

My levoit 300s gives me sinus problems and sore throat. Piece of fuckin shit

I know!!!! Google air purifier sore throat reddit. You'll see. Levoit one of the worst offenders

Plus one for this. We use the same brand the 300S model in the bedroom and also the mini version in the room with the 3d printer. Only use the mini version thier as we have no space for the bigger version. Plus the mini version is super quite too!

For your purposes, the core 300s is perfectly fine, you’ll just need to replace the filters every two months or so. Vaping is murder on filters. I don’t think you’ll find a combination with a lower total cost of ownership.

I just got a levoit 300s, it's pretty noisy on max setting. Have a browse of reviews: housefresh.com

i really like my levoit 300s, but it’s mostly for dust and pet hair. not sure about smoke.

I am currently running the house special of "I bought whatever was on sale at the time." So I have a mix of Levoit, Winix, Blueair, and a couple of decades old Honeywells to round it out. My AC system also has a "circulate" option and has a built-in HEPA filter and UV light. I monitor it all with a Airthings 2960 (one upstairs, one downstairs). Currently, I am trying to consolidate to a single brand (settled on Levoit - 300 and 600 sizes) just to make filter replacement simpler. Trying to get to a 6mo filter replacement schedule (currently closer to 4mo here in Texas, thanks to all the allergens). From my testing, here's the short version - as long as it moves air and has some sort of filtration, it'll probably help the air quality in your home. Everything else - air quality monitoring, app access, noise level - it's all bonus features that don't really affect the overall performance of the device. According to my Airthings AQ monitor, they do make a difference. I see VoCs and PM1 and PM2.5 go down when you ramp up the filter fan speeds. For recommendations - Level 1 - regularly change the air filter that your home uses - go cheap and replace more frequently rather than going expensive and hoping it lasts longer. Also, vacuum and dust regularly. Level 2 - bang-for-the-buck is the Corsi–Rosenthal box - and it will always be what I recommend to people who are trying to figure out if air filters will make a difference for them. Level 3 - buy the system that moves the most amount of air and has replacement filters that don't cost an arm and a leg. Levoit, Winix, Blueair, are all honestly decent systems - and if you open them up to replace their filters, you find out that they're really just doing the same thing the Corsi-Rosenthal is. They're just intake fans sitting on top of a filter. As price goes up, you're really just paying for things like automation (fan automatically ramping up when it senses high particles), noise reduction, filter change nagging, etc. My suggestion is to buy whatever goes on sale next time and stick with the brand/size for ease of maintenance. Minimum size I'd recommend is 1000sqft even if your home/room is smaller than that. The max room size is calculated by their highest fan speed - chances are, you probably won't be running it that high all the time. It is better to get multiple smaller units that are local to the area you're using versus a single large unit for a big space. These do not move air vigorously (less than your standard fan) - so even if they say they'll do "3000sqft" - they are assuming you're in a single rectangular room with only four walls. If your home is 2000sqft with lots of rooms and hallways, a single unit will not work. However, the number one thing about any air filter is that they are a continuous cost and will only work as long as you are regularly replacing their filter media. At least with air filters you will be able to see exactly what they're doing when you replace them - mine are usually pretty grey-looking by the time I take them out. Oh, I wouldn't bother with all of the fancy filters (like pet, charcoal, or whatever) unless you have a very specific need for them. Those are are mostly gimmicky. Air quality monitors (like the Airthings) are also not needed - and in fact, many of the higher end filters have particulate sensors in them. It's mostly informational for people like me who just really wanted to know if all of these filters actually did anything. Plus, AQ monitors don't tell you *what* the stuff in the air is, they just tell you it's high. I found out that vaporizing humidifiers make PM sensors show deep red spikes because they're literally throwing tiny bits of water into the air (but it's not specifically a negative thing - especially when you're trying to raise humidity). For the "do they work?" question, my answer is "Eh... sorta." They definitely help with things like odors (such as from cooking or pets). I have not noticed a huge decrease in dust build up (but my house is not sealed in any shape). I definitely notice that my allergies get worse when I go outside versus hiding in my house, but it's not like they're completely eliminated when I'm home. So for me at least, they help, but they're not some sort of miracle cure that'll magically fix everything.

I like the levoit 300s because you can customise the PM2.5 level that triggers it to turn on and off. Others with auto mode I’ve tried are set far too high to keep the air clean (as is the 300s by default) . It doesnt clean VOcs at all though even though it claims to . i havent found a purifier that does tbf

I mean.... I mentioned the part about them having no reviews and being at a sketchily low price point of 1/2 to 2/3 the cost of everyone else. There are really only a handful of air purifier brands that have demonstrated reliability, affordability, and effectiveness over several years, and don't dabble in post-apocalyptic/steampunk decor -- coway, levoit, blue air, winix. If you want to pay more, there's iq air, alen air, and a few others. For $110, you could have bought a blue air 511 and almost a 411, a levoit 300, almost a Levoit Vital 100s, or a Winix a231. The winix 5500, the coway 1512, levoit vital 200, and the blueair 311 are all at this CADR, but for closer to $200.

Levoit 300 just came today and it seems lovely. And pretty quiet too.

I have: 1x IqAir with all the add ins and pre filter 1x Austin it 1x Levoit 600S 2x Levoit 300 1x 24x12x2 MERV 12 Filter (corsi style) but with an HVAC box and INLINE fan. All my HVAC return filters use MPR300 filters. I vacuum all the time, and run a robot vacuum multiple times a day. The goal is keeping the dust on the floor from floating UP and ON to elevated surfaces. In return the air filters last longer.

I have levoit 300's. I didn't realise before I got them how much they would help with hayfever. Its worth buying bigger units than you think you need. If I buy another, i will use this company 10% off today https://smartairfilters.com/uk/en/product/sa600-air-purifier-5-speed-version/

We have several LeVoit smart purifiers and they’re outstanding. Our old home is super dusty and these units have made a huge impact on how we feel and no longer see tons of random dust particles in the air.
