Levoit series is good, I have the 300S Plasmapro and it's been great. Also uses a laser sensor for the air reading which is more accurate.

You need filters specially made for smoke, otherwise they will get fucked and start to smell of cigarettes , used my s300 levoit one day in a smoky room, now it smells like the room itself.

I’m using a few Levoit Plasma Pro units. It honestly changed my life. I used to literally cough up blood due to the irritation from seasonal allergies. When I’d lay down at night you could hear burbling in my lungs. I got this filter last summer and it was legitimately the first summer I’ve slept well in close to 20 years. Ditto this summer. I’d say a 90% reduction in my symptoms while at home. Obviously outside the house I still get nailed. I burn through filters though. I run this thing on max most of the summer. The rest of the year I set it to auto and let the sensors detect when to ramp up. Not sure exactly how the air quality sensors work, but they are extremely fast and accurate. If I have a candle lit they go crazy letting me know my air quality is terrible.

Some 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.

Yes Levoit is bird safe if you get a model without the ionizer. They call their ionizing feature PlasmaPro, so that’s what you want to avoid.

Is this model the ‘PlasmaPro’ unit? If so, the smell may be normal from ozone. Ozone gas is generated using very high voltage, and is used to help neutralize odors. If it’s not the plasma pro models, it may need to air out and will disappear after a while
