Levoit - Vital 100 Plus

Ive got pets and asthma, and I think the air purifiers help. At the very least, they do trap a lot of dust and pet dander. I also find the noise soothing. I've got a lenvoit that my mom bought me from Home Depot. Neat thing. Does a space of about 300 sqft. Filters are easy to replace, and the machine is easy to keep clean.

How is a levoit only better for hair and dander? Hepa is hepa and vital series should be just as effective as the others. Core series is inferior. 

Why do you suggest ma-25 over levoit vitals? Both are hepa, and the levoit 100s has a higher CADR with a quieter fan.  Plus ma-25 will burn filters roughly twice the speed of a vital. So even though it's a little cheaper to start with, it'll quickly add up to more over the life of the product. There's simply no real benefit to an ma-25 over a vital 100, other than appearance, but that's subjective. MA-25 looks more sleek and refined to me.  Now the core levoit are dogshit and shouldn't ever be bought imo, but the vital series are perfectly capable devices. 

I know this is an old comment but I have the vital 100s in our large bedroom and dust still accumulates. It seems to help a bit but regular dusting is still required.

For microplastics, a standard hepa (preferably hepa 13) air purifier oversized for the room should suffice. Although not specifically designed for microparticles, hepa apparently does quite well against them anyway. The thing to keep in mind, however, is that no filament in molten state is "non-toxic". Although PLA is really only somewhat toxic with VOC emissions, when you use the printer in a smaller space like a bedroom, the VOC level can accumulate more easily, making it much less savory. To filter VOCs, you at least need a filter with a carbon basket instead of just a "carbon layer". Check out the ikea fotnuftig, Levoit Vital 100, or Winix has a few models as well that include a carbon basket filter. Here in my part of the US, Walmart carries the vital 100. It's like $130 or something, but it's a quick option that's probably sufficient.

Levoit Vital 100 Air Purifier It has passthrough sideways and fresh air out the top. *The brand is renown *It is affordable *2 new filters for $30 *It pushes a lot of air *Hepa I ve been using this for two years and wouldnt change it up.

I run a Levoit 100 next to my A1. I used to smell the PLA in the room when printing, don't smell it at all now. Technically the standard home air purifiers aren't going to catch much in the way of VOCs and microplastics due to the small particle size, but I figure it is still better than nothing.

To me it was worth it. The Levoit 100 has quite a bit of carbon compared to a lot of filters (they also sell replacement filters with more carbon), and the smell is greatly reduced so it is definitely catching VOCs. Buying a cheap air purifier will likely get you one with little to no carbon, which will do nothing. Is it catching enough VOCs to matter? I don't know, I can only base it on smell. Is it catching any microplastics? I don't know. But the filter is showing discoloration so worst case scenario I am catching dust and keeping the print area a bit cleaner.

For a large room model iv had and like my core 600 by levoit. For the price it’s been very good The filter isnt hepa but its a very good filter still. And honestly hepa has pros and cons, the pro of it not being hepa is a little more airflow. Things a beast The levoit vital series is very good too for small rooms. Good bang for buck units that have held up well for me. Also filters are not absurdly expensive. Pricy but the cost to run is less than other units

Get a levoit vital 100 or 200. Both are really decent, very happy with mine

They lied about hepa filters on some of their models, pissed some people off. But the vital’s are true hepa

Hi! I got this as an upgrade to my levoit core 300 that’s been in my living room (1 dog 1 cat and tons of 4 legged visitors daily) and it’s been great. We use the core 300 in the bedroom and it does the trick too. If it were up to me, I’d get the 200s-p for the living room and move the vital100 to my bedroom- but it’s perfect otherwise!

I've got a Coway AirMega in the LR and it's great. In the master BR I've got a Levoit Vital 100 which someone gifted to me and it works well enough. I have a Levoit Core 300 in the smaller bedroom; the space is within the specs but it feels a little small if I need to keep it running on medium... a larger unit running on low might be better. I think they say the 300 is also the most expensive to run, almost 2x the Coway given the CFM.

I assume that this is more than one room? That's like 450 square feet, two small units will do the trick - one in the main living area and one in the bedroom. Levoit Vital 100 is fine.

1. You don’t really want an app. It is t useful in any way. Why? Because the sensor on the unit isn’t accurate, so the app won’t really tell you if your air is clean. Also because the only way to clean air is to run the unit on a constant speed 24/7. So unless your use case is very specific (vacation home, away for long periods, etc.) then an app isn’t helpful. 2. Shark is junk. Levoit cleans air just fine but is not HEPA, if that matters. Blue air is the best of the three, also isn’t HEPA but has a static generator which bothers some people. 3. Consider winix or Coway. They’re better in every way.

They’re fine. HEPA is better first pass filtration but the Levoit units clean air pretty well. They just wear out their filters sooner. I don’t love them but if I had 4 I wouldn’t throw them out! Yea I own an IQ Air but I don’t think you need one. Most people do fine with a $150 Coway.

So you're focusing on the wrong things. Almost all units we recommend are H13 rated. Coway, Winix, even Levoit Vital. And third-party testing is ... not super relevant at this price point. You want a Coway 250 or Levoit Vital 200 for the upstairs and a Coway 1512 or Coway 150 or Winix 5510 or Levoit Vital 100 for the downstairs.

This is literally the worst and most overpriced unit Levoit makes. The CADR is high but it uses ionization (“plasma pro”) and for $350 you can get two better units. Levoit Vital is good. Anything from Coway or Winix is good.

Nobody on this sub has a problem with Levoit Vital. They’re great units. Levoit CORE are the ones we have “mixed opinions” on.

Where do you live? No US doctor would have recommended ANY of those brands. Dyson is junk and those others are cheap. Coway, Winix, maybe Levoit. Go that way.
