• AirSight Plus particle sensing
• As low as 24dB

Cons

• Short, partial listing

The LEVOIT Smart Air Purifier for Home is the Levoit Vital 200S-P, and its listing title rates it for large rooms up to 1,875 square feet, the biggest figure in this roundup. It measures about 14.96 x 8.66 x 19.69 inches and weighs 13.2 pounds, so it is a floor unit you will want to place and leave rather than carry around daily.

The listing is short on feature detail but stands out for filter choice. Beyond the standard filter, Levoit offers replacement options for different problems: a Toxin Absorber filter aimed at smog, toxins and VOCs (volatile organic compounds, the gases given off by paint, cleaners and new furniture), a Smoke Remover filter for wildfire smoke and other smoke particles, and a Pet Allergy filter for fur and odors. The listing says its filtration of dust, hair, dander, smoke and pollen was tested by an independent lab. It oddly lists “1 12V battery required,” which the listing does not explain, and it does not describe the app or sensor features you might expect from the “Smart” name.

This suits a household with an open living and dining area, or a home dealing with a specific issue such as wildfire smoke where a specialty filter helps. If you want a model whose listing spells out sensors and noise levels, the Core 400S-P covers a similar space.

The Levoit Air Purifier for Home Pets is identified in its listing as the Core 300-P, and it has the most detailed performance data of the group. It is AHAM Verifide, meaning the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers independently tested its cleaning performance. Its CADR, or Clean Air Delivery Rate, is 143 CFM for smoke, 153 CFM for dust and 167 CFM for pollen. In plain terms, it can refresh the air in a 222-square-foot room 4.8 times per hour, or a 1,073-square-foot room once per hour.

A 56W motor drives a 3-in-1 filter that the listing says captures 99.97% of particles from 0.1 to 0.3 microns, such as pollen, dust and pet dander, and the Original Filter is described as HEPA-grade in Sleep Mode. HEPA is a filter standard for trapping very small particles. Sleep Mode drops the noise to 24dB, which is about as soft as a whisper, and you can switch the display lights off. There is a 2, 4, 6 or 8-hour timer and a filter reminder. The listing notes it runs on 120V and is for US use only, and it is AHAM verified, FCC certified, ETL listed and CARB compliant.

This suits a bedroom or home office, especially for a light sleeper with a cat or dog. It does not list app control, so if you want phone scheduling, look at the Vital 100S-P next. We cover this style of setup in more depth in our guide to a Levoit purifier for allergies and pet hair.

The LEVOIT Air Purifier for Home Pets is the Vital 100S-P, and it shares the same room figures as the Core 300-P: 4.8 air changes per hour in 222 square feet and once per hour in up to 1,073 square feet. Where it differs is in pet features and smart control. A dedicated Pet Mode and a wide U-shaped air inlet are designed to pull in floating pet fur and larger particles.

Its three-stage system includes a washable pre-filter you rinse with water, a main filter rated at 99.97% for 0.1 to 0.3 micron particles, and an activated carbon filter for pet odors, fumes and VOCs. A light sensor dims the display in the dark, and Sleep Mode goes down to 25dB. Through the VeSync app you can change settings, check filter life, set start and end schedules with different modes, and connect to third-party voice assistants. It weighs 8.6 pounds and stands about 16 inches tall.

This suits pet owners who like controlling things from a phone, or someone who wants the purifier to run a schedule on its own. It is slightly louder at its quietest than the Core 300-P, and its listing does not give CADR numbers.

The LEVOIT Smart Air Purifiers for Home is the Core 400S-P, rated to clean a 1,733-square-foot room once per hour. Its main feature is AirSight Plus, which the listing says scans the surrounding air for particles as small as 0.3 microns so the purifier can respond to real-time conditions. That is what people mean by an auto mode: a sensor notices dust or smoke and the fan speeds up.

The listing says the internal structure keeps noise as low as 24dB and mentions an efficient middle filter. It is a round tower of about 10.79 x 10.79 x 20.43 inches and weighs 12.79 pounds. The description is cut off, and the specification sheet oddly lists its language as German, so details such as the app features are not fully spelled out in this listing.

This suits a family room, an open kitchen, or anyone searching for a Levoit air purifier for a large room with automatic sensing. If filter variety matters more than sensing, the Vital 200S-P is the alternative.

Best for: Allergy sufferers in the bedroom

Pros

• PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 sensor
• Sealed HEPA system
• Up to 2-year main filter

Cons

• Room size not listed
• Noise level not listed

The LEVOIT HEPA Air Purifier for Home is the Eleva 300X, and Levoit describes it as focused on bedroom air purification for allergy sufferers. Its biggest step up is a 3-in-1 sensor that reads PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10. Those labels refer to particle sizes; most purifiers only watch PM2.5, so tracking the smallest and larger particles gives a fuller picture of what is floating in the room.

The listing describes a system-level, fully sealed HEPA design, meaning air cannot leak around the filter, with three-stage filtration based on the ASTM F3150-18 test standard. It also promises up to two years of main filter life through a modular design. At 9.4 x 9.4 x 15.1 inches and 7.7 pounds, it is compact enough for a nightstand corner. The listing does not specify room coverage, noise level or app support.

This suits an allergy sufferer who wants fewer filter changes and better sensing in the bedroom. For a larger space, step up to the Core 400S-P or Vital 200S-P.

The Levoit Air Purifiers for Bedroom Home is the smallest model here, model number LAP-C161, at roughly 6.5 x 6.5 x 10.4 inches and 2.2 pounds. It uses a power adapter stored inside the unit and a rated power of just 7W, so it costs little to run around the clock.

Noise ranges from 27 to 45dB, which is quiet at low speed but noticeable on high. The description warns not to overfill essential oil beyond two or three drops, which suggests an aroma feature, though the listing does not explain it or specify room coverage or filter details.

This suits a desk, nightstand or dorm room, and makes an easy gift for a student. See our tips on picking a Levoit air purifier for a dorm room. For a full bedroom, one of the mid-size models above will move far more air.
