Levoit - Vital 100S-P

I love my Levoit Vital 100S-P! It's totally fixed indoor allergen issues for me

I have a levoit and it’s amazing. I barely notice it’s on and I have the large one in my bedroom which isn’t that big but I have 5 dogs and it alleviates so much dust. That’s the only room in my house that I breathe the absolute best in.

I bought this one on Amazon. I’ll be buying another my next paycheck as well since it’s currently on sale. LEVOIT Air Purifier for Home Large Room Bedroom Up to 1110 Ft² with Air Quality Monitor, Smart WiFi, Washable Pre-Filter, HEPA Sleep Mode for Pets, Allergies, Dust, Pollen, Vital 100S-P, White

I have a Q and I use the Levoit air cleaners. They work great, some even have apps ( neat addition but certainly not needed) super easy to clean and fairly quiet. One model is even a box, that can go against walls or furniture, if space is a concern. I also buy generic filters for them, compared to paying tao fines as much for the name brand. About ever 2-3 weeks, I even wipe off the filters, to extend there life a little more. It is insane and even kinda gross how much “stuff” those filters take out if the air in a week or two! I don’t deal with much dust in my house now either. I swear by good air cleaners! This is the one I spoke of above that can go against a wall, curtains or furniture. https://a.co/d/bATDubu They have many others too that are smaller and cheaper. This is the small cylinder one I have, it was my first. Works great, nothing fancy no apps. I keep this in the den. https://a.co/d/0AeZxvt Whatever you decide on, just. Reminder to not have it close on your birds cage. You don’t want any the bird to feel any breeze or draft at anytime, ever. And regular cleaning is a must! Good luck! Best wishes to you and your Q too!

Mine are Levoit and I am super pleased with this brand.

I have a Levoit 100S-P with the Toxin Absorber filter. It works well in keeping the air in my office relatively odor free. However I am also very rarely in the room during a print, as I do most printing later in the evening / overnight.

Idk anything but I have a levoit and coway. I prefer the coway bc it has an ionizer and hepa. I don't think the levoit does. It gets rid of smells more than anything. You'll still get hair build up.

I have the air mega 200, I linked it below but you can probably find it on Amazon or Walmart cheaper. https://cowaymega.com/products/airmega-200m?srsltid=AfmBOopQz9sdFtqEVRtH7iB_IcS4QjmIzJotussspAV4Afzq2-i6j2O_ The levoit I have is a vital 100s https://levoit.com/products/vital-100s-smart-air-purifier?variant=43165376381079&country=US¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=us_gg_pmax_ap_eg_lofu_04172024_br&tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=21192607823&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21192608285&gbraid=0AAAAACKUb62oakHBhZoQgq1c0Mmuj417A&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlrvBBhDnARIsAHEQgORTFzYnRddupRtN4i8NXUIU6zlY7c3vRd0GhalmX3pqqsfdTgVqZs0aAgwXEALw_wcB Random note, if there are any local companies around you that do liquidation auctions you can snag air purifiers pretty cheap. I bought the levoit from an auction company in Cleveland called 'Online Liquidation Auction' for $24 and it was basically brand new (retail $139). I just thought I'd mention it because I'm a cheap bastard!

Love my Levoit Vital 100S-P. So quiet and very easy to clean. I have to wash the filter weekly because it sucks in a lot of dust and pollen.

This Levoit would be a better choice, yes. u/NICBROWWN's suggestion is also worth considering. The [refurbished Winix C545](https://www.winixamerica.com/product/certified-refurbished-c545-air-purifier/) has higher Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADRs) than the Levoit model. Keep in mind refurbished Winix units are limited stock and offer a 1 year warranty. NB: if you have pet birds, keep Winix's PlasmaWave (a bipolar ionizer) off, as birds are far more sensitive to ozone than humans.

The stuffiness you describe may due to higher indoor relative humidity (RH) and/or carbon dioxide build-up. High RH can lead to mold and mildew growth, which in turn produces odorous mVOCs (microbial Volatile Organic Compounds). Purifiers only capture *airborne* mold and mildew; they can't mitigate moisture sources or pathways. A dehumidifier would be much better instead. I'm guessing you have one or more ductless mini splits for air conditioning? Unfortunately "whole home" dehumidifiers require ductwork. You would need to buy a freestanding dehumidifier instead. I'd prefer the Levoit or Philips over Xiaomi or Blueair. Just keep in mind that Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADRs) are typically given for the highest airflow speed/setting *only*. Lower settings have lower CADRs, which reduces cleaning effectiveness.

I had to look through your profile for clues - I'm guessing you're in the UK? Shark is low quality. They're dishonest in their marketing (e.g., "NeverChange" filters schtick is bogus). We've seen numerous problems with the air quality display not working. And if a model is discontinued, filter availability afterwards can be pretty short. I assume by "dust", you're allergic to dust mite allergens? If you haven't already, you'll probably need to take multiple approaches to controlling dust mites. This includes washing bedding in hot water every week, using allergen covers on mattresses & pillows, wet-dusting with quality microfiber cloths, and keeping relative humidity (RH) below 50% for prolonged periods. Dust mites can't survive in low humidity environments. With significant allergies, I'd use a bagged vacuum with a HEPA exhaust filter such as Miele or Sebo. Bagless vacs are often leaky. Obviously an air purifier will only help with airborne allergens and not the ones settled on various surfaces. **For rooms measured in meters, I would seek out a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) 6 times greater than the room's volume. So** ***if*** **your ceiling height is 2.4 meters, this means your room's volume is 60 m****^(3)****. 60 m****^(3)****/h × 6 = 360 m****^(3)****/h. You need a CADR of at least 360 m****^(3)****/h.** Coway is one of the highest quality consumer-grade brands. And yes, they're more expensive. However, Coway units tend to be more energy efficient and quieter than others. A recommended model would be the [Coway Airmega Jet](https://en.coway.com/products/airmega-jet-1). Top CADR is 402 m^(3)/h. The [replacement filter is £59.99 directly from Coway](https://en.coway.com/products/airmega-jet-filters?variant=40840000077917) (GreenHEPA + activated carbon). Filter set is a bit cheaper on Amazon currently. If you were to go with Levoit, I'd buy *two* [Levoit Vital 100S](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Purifiers-Bedroom-Washable-Quality-Allergens/dp/B0CLY1ZG1F/?th=1) units. This is because top CADR is only 243 m^(3)/h. Important: keep in mind the CADRs listed for these purifiers applies to the highest airflow/speed setting only. Lower settings have lower CADRs, which reduces cleaning effectiveness.

Not a big fan of the Levoit Core series purifiers. I think the Levoit Vital series and the EverestAir model are superior because they use separate permanent pre-filters. That and I've read about more issues (malfunctions or unit failures) with the Core series. Ultimately the right purifier depends on pollution levels, health conditions like allergies, and room volume (length x width x height).

Levoit is lower quality than Coway. I think the Levoit Vital series purifiers and EverestAir purifier are quite good (definitely better than the Levoit Core series).

For rooms measured in meters, you'd want Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADRs) 4 to 6 times the room's volume (in m^(3)) for someone with asthma. Therefore CADRs should be 135 - 202 m^(3)/h. The Levoit Core series purifiers tend *not* to be as reliable as the Levoit Vital series. I think you only have the [Levoit Vital 100S](https://levoit.co.uk/products/levoit-vital-100s-smart-air-purifier) in the UK, so I would recommend that model. Just keep in mind the particulate CADR is listed for the highest airflow speed/setting only. Lower settings have lower CADRs which reduces cleaning effectiveness.

Yes, that will work for your space, but you’ll have to run it on the highest setting in order to get adequate filtration

Please see the stickied thread in this sub about dust. Purifiers are not designed to get rid of dust. Shark sucks. Don’t under any circumstances buy one. BlueAir is fine, but overpriced and the filters are expensive. Levoit is a good, cost effective brand. It is on par with Coway and Winix. You cannot go wrong with a unit from any of those manufacturers.

I don’t have a grey, have an Amazon . We have the levoit core 300s in every bedroom. And the levoit Vital 100S-P, and a Mila air in the kitchen to help with the cooking smells. They both ramp up like even cooking fried eggs. I vacuum the filters about every 2 weeks. It’s amazing how much dust I get from her. I can only imagine with a grey. None of those have the ionizing or UV features. I’ve had them all for a couple years now with no problems. They work great. I get the levoit filters through amazon, reasonable prices.

We have a two small levoits (core 200s-p) for the bedrooms and larger (vital 100s-p) one for the living room. They also integrate easily with a smart home ecosystem if you have one because they have wifi. Like if you want them to be off when you are not home. Go to sleep mode when you go to bed. Or turn night light on Larger one has a sensor and it's always on at slow speed but it increases when it detects bad air quality or particles. But i believe they don't really work as well in a large open environments like a living room. I would move the cage to a room and have a purifier there and have it sealed. There's foam that goes under the door to keep the dust from going out of the room
