Levoit - Sprout Air Purifier

I know exactly how you must feel, as we've been through this all before, it's overwhelming with all the different choices. My partner has a severe dust mite allergy and the first thing we bought was a Levoit true HEPA filter air purifier. Further to that, we bought a Dustro dx6 mattress vacuum cleaner. It removes all the dust mites from deep inside the mattress, UV sterilises it, and applies hot air to it too which apparently makes it hard for them to survive or multiply. Trust me the first time you use it you'll be shocked at what it pulls out - this is after vacuuming our bed daily! A combination of both have made a night and day difference, we noticed the different straight away

I’ve liked Levoit and felt it makes a difference and they have models that are cheaper around $160 or so. Just make sure you choose one with a TRUE HEPA filter, not a “HEPA like” one. It’s not the same. And HEPA is what filters for stuff like allergens and pollen, pet dander etc. I’ve also really liked Austin air bedroom machine. It’s on the more expensive side but has all the bells and whistles but it is around $1k :( that one seriously makes a dent. Also heard good things about airdoctor but haven’t personally tried it and it’s also more expensive. I actually did a [tonnnn of research on air purifiers](https://www.cleanandhonest.com/blog/best-air-purifier-hepa-mold-allergies-more) recently if you’d find this helpful in your research :) Goodluck! There’s lot of options now at different price points. Just make sure it has a real HEPA filter.

I have some Vesync purifiers. I rarely notice a difference in day to day air quality but ever since I moved to the PNW I have one or two weeks out of the year that’s pure allergy hell. I think maybe the purifiers help a little but it’s usually so bad I’m willing to throw just about any solution towards the problem even if it doesn’t actually work . I wish it wasn’t cloud based software but it works well enough for me. Many non-smart purifiers have annoying digital controllers (I used to have ones that look like giant iPod shuffles) that I can’t just slap a smart plug on to automate and I don’t want to go so far as to setup ESP controllers to hack them

I've had a Vesync air purifier for a long time, and it works great. We recently moved into a 4 story townhouse, so I picked up a few more and have been very happy. Have one on each floor and although I dont have allergies it has reduced the amount of dust in the house to almost none. Just providing you another company to check and hopefully you find one that works for you.

Hey! I have 5 Levoit smart purifiers around my home on Google Home ecosystem, and it works flawlessly.

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.

I have had one Levoit Smart Air Purifier in every room of the house for several years now. I initially bought a few and but was uneasy about the expensive investment I was getting myself into. But I ended up liking them so much I kept getting more and more. I have no regrets even though I’ve spent over $1500 total on them. They make a huge difference (home for a small family + several pets). Actually only regret is I didn’t do this sooner. I’ve suffered from allergies most of my life, to the point that I always walk around 24/7/365 with giant wads of tissues in my pockets. These things make it much more bearable. Pro-tip, you can prolong the filter life by vacuuming the gunk off them. Probably should do it outside as the vacuum tends to agitate some smaller particles in the air.

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.

We have a Coway and a Levoit and they are both great but the Levoit goes through filters a lot faster IMO but the coway is visually much larger so we keep it in the main living area and the Levoit in BR.

levoit is good and has some very affordable options. we have an appropriately sized levoit in almost every room in our house and it helps a lot with allergies. also make sure to change your furnace filter regularly and use merv 13 or higher filters for it
