LEVOIT Smart Air Purifiers for Home

Best for: Smart control in large rooms

Pros

• Up to 1733 sq ft listed
• Smart model

Cons

• Only title details available

Best for: Large living rooms and open plans

Pros

• Up to 1875 sq ft listed
• Smart model
• Optional specialty filters

Cons

• Heavy at 13.2 pounds
• Odd battery spec in listing

The LEVOIT Smart Air Purifier for Home, the Vital 200S-P in the white LAP-V201S-WUS version, is listed for large rooms up to 1875 square feet, the largest figure in this lineup. The title calls it smart, which in LEVOIT’s range generally means app control, though this listing does not spell out app features.

The description says it is independently lab-tested to filter dust, hair, dander, smoke and pollen, and that you can swap in specialty filters: a Toxin Absorber for smog and VOCs (gases from paints and cleaners), a Smoke Remover for wildfire smoke, and a Pet Allergy filter for fur and odors. It measures 14.96 by 8.66 by 19.69 inches and weighs 13.2 pounds. Oddly, the listing says one 12V battery is required, which looks like a catalog error for a plug-in purifier, so treat it with caution.

This suits open-plan homes where one purifier needs to cover a lot of ground. For a single bedroom, the Core 300-P or Eleva 300X is more compact.

The LEVOIT Smart Air Purifiers for Home, the Core 400S-P, is listed for large rooms up to 1733 square feet and is described as a smart model. That is all the listing provides: it does not specify filters, noise level, sensors, weight or dimensions.

Because of that, it is hard to compare in detail. On paper it sits between the Vital 200S-P and Vital 100S-P on coverage. If you are considering it, check the product page for the filter type and app features before buying.

This model suits a shopper who wants a smart LEVOIT for a big room and is happy to confirm the details on the product page.

The LEVOIT Air Purifier for Home Pets, the Vital 100S-P, is the model that matches the “up to 1073 square feet” search. The listing explains what that means: AHAM testing shows it cleans the air 4.8 times per hour in a 222 square foot room, or once per hour in a room up to 1,073 square feet. Its smoke CADR, the Clean Air Delivery Rate, is 143 cubic feet per minute.

It uses a 3-stage filter: a washable pre-filter for hair and large particles, a main filter with 99.97 percent efficiency for 0.1 to 0.3 micron particles in independent lab tests, and activated carbon for pet odors and VOCs. Pet Mode and a wide U-shaped inlet target fur. Light Detection dims the display and limits fan speed when the room goes dark, and the free VeSync app handles settings, timers, schedules and filter life, with Alexa and Google Assistant support. It lists 23 dB noise and 42 watts.

This is the smart pick for pet owners. For more pet-focused ideas, see our guide to a quiet purifier for allergies and pet hair.

The LEVOIT Air Purifiers for Home Large listing is the Vital 200S-P in black (LAP-V201S-KUS). Its title adds details the white version does not: AHAM Verifide, an air quality monitor, a washable pre-filter and HEPA Sleep Mode for allergies and pet hair in bedrooms. It also lists coverage up to 1875 square feet.

An air quality monitor is a sensor that reads how many particles are in the air, so the purifier can show you when the air is dirty. HEPA Sleep Mode, as described on other LEVOIT listings, means the filter still performs at HEPA grade while running at quiet night speeds. The description shares the same optional replacement filters as the white model. It weighs 13.2 pounds and measures 15.6 by 8.5 by 19.8 inches.

This suits large bedrooms or family rooms where you want both big coverage and a visible air quality reading. If you already own a purifier without a sensor, a standalone smart air quality monitor is another option.

Best for: Allergy sufferers in bedrooms

Pros

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

Cons

• Room coverage not listed

The LEVOIT HEPA Air Purifier for Home, the Eleva 300X, is designed around bedroom allergy relief. Its standout feature is a 3-in-1 sensor reading PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10, which are particle size categories from very fine to coarse. The description calls this an upgrade from PM2.5-only sensing.

It also lists a system-level fully sealed HEPA filtration design based on the ASTM F3150-18 test standard, 3-stage filtration, and up to a 2-year main filter life using a modular design. It measures 9.4 by 9.4 by 15.1 inches and weighs 7.7 pounds. The listing does not specify room coverage, app control or noise level.

This suits allergy sufferers who want the most detailed air readings in a compact bedroom unit.

The Levoit Air Purifier for Home Pets, the Core 300-P, is a simpler, non-app model. It is AHAM Verifide with CADR ratings of 143 CFM for smoke, 153 for dust and 167 for pollen, cleaning a 222 square foot room 4.8 times per hour or a 1,073 square foot room once per hour.

It uses a 56-watt motor and 3-in-1 filtration with 99.97 percent efficiency for 0.1 to 0.3 micron particles in lab tests. Sleep Mode drops noise to 24 dB, the display can be switched off, and there is a 2, 4, 6 or 8 hour timer and a check filter indicator. It is FCC Certified, ETL Listed and CARB Compliant, and runs on 120V for US use. Control is by touch only.

This makes an easy gift for someone who wants a quiet bedroom purifier without an app.
