"I set up three in my apartment and I never had to dust again."
"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 4 parrots 2 of them being African Grey’s and these suck the powder down as well as everything else out of the air. ... These make such a difference in air quality and dust control it’s unbelievable."

"I have 5 Levoit smart purifiers around my home on Google Home ecosystem, and it works flawlessly."
"I like the Levoit and the Welov a little more because you can check the filter life in their app, and the Levoit will auto-mail you new filters when the filter life is low."
"I can also connect them to home assistant which is a big plus for me so I can monitor the filter level"

"I’m using levoit filters at home and they’re fine and the 2.5 levels are very low. I can also connect them to home assistant which is a big plus for me so I can monitor the filter level(though I’m guessing this is just an arbitrary use based calculation). But I do regret buying them due to the replacement thing."
"the levoit filters were expensive to replace."
"They just wear out their filters sooner."

"Customer service is good but they changed the manufacturer of their filters and now they reek of chemicals. ... Last time I replaced they smelt awful. ... Contacted the company who was kind enough to send us new ones-same smell. ... Defeats the purpose if its going to off gas in our home and the smell didn't go away."
beyondplutola 1.0Can you return it still? Your square footage is the max a 100s may be able to do while running full blast if you’re dealing with an active smoke situation. You’d be better off with a 200S Vital. Look for something with a CADR number at least equal to your square footage. Also, if you have a central air forced HVAC, you can put a MERV 13 filter temporarily into the return and run it on fan mode only for additional filtration.
I think this gets overstated. The Core series pre-filter just comes with the filter. It’s not much harder to vacuum those than the separate ones in the flat panel units. I say this an owner of Cores, Vitals and an EverestAir.
MidnightPulse69 1.0I have the Vital 200s and I like it. I have an older Core model that isn’t nearly as powerful
Whirlpool-7763 1.0Levoit Vital 200s gets great reviews. I read a ton of this stuff and I don't see people reporting those units malfunctioning. Over the years, yes, I've seen reports of issues with a whining noise on some units (the 300 and 400) but that was years ago and Levoit addressed it and also offered replacements. They also have good service. I have a Core 300 that is still going from 2020. A Core 300s. And most recently a Vital 100s and Vital 200s. If sized right, these latter two are what you should look at - not the Core units. Those were good in their day, but the Vital units are superior. As for the Hepa question, yes the Vital units are, on sleep mode, and the "scandal" about all of that was drummed up by a competitor - who makes inferior units.
the Vital 200s actually does a pretty good job if sized right for your space.
Levoit 300? Vital 200s? Or? Provide specifics so we can help you. For your space a Levoit Vital 200s would be a good start.
BoldPotatoFlavor 0.6All HEPA filters are disposable maintenance items, some last longer than others. For the price I’d highly recommend an MA-25 instead. I only recommend the Levoit 100 S or 200 S if you are using it *specifically* for pet hair and dander otherwise they are not that great in my opinion. I’ve owned 6 Levoit products and I wish I had spent the money on a different brand for 5 of them.
I bought 5 Vital (100 + 200) devices and 1 Core. The vitals barely reduced PM when I used them. I switched to Coway and Medify and had much better results.
Agitated-Score365 0.4I have three Levoit 200s and a 300. Two and a half years later, they run pretty much nonstop. No issues.
ampharados 0.4We don’t use central air in my apartment and our purifiers have been helping a lot. We got two Levoit Vital 200s on sale on Amazon for $159 each
AnihilationXSX 0.4If you get levoit gotta get the 100S or 200S 200S is better just pricer tho we had wild fire smokes for months in Ontario and I am allergic to dust the 100S served me well, I wish I had gone with 200S but was just to much at the time
No since they don't have hepa filter, the core are just reg dust with active carbon, you need ether 100s or 200s id go with 200s if you can
benson733 0.4These units similar to the one I have become saturated really quick. I personally use a levoit 200s and it's awesome, but after the first week the carbon stops doing its job, but I'm okay with that, if I get cooking odors etc I'll usually just open my windows.
Boy0Nacho 0.4I use a levoit vital 200s with the green toxin filter. It works quite well. Turn the fan up on max while your dad smokes and on auto after 10 to 15 mins when not smoking. Does a great job for me. Always get an air purifier that has HEPA filtration to trap fine tobacco smoke particles and also activated charcoal to eliminate and trap odors and VOCs. Im also in Canada.
Brtza94 0.4I have Levoit Vital 200s and I am satisfied
