Levoit - Core 300-P Air Purifier

Buy [this](https://x.com/BestDealsxx/status/1965030549237752044) one if you can go to this price Definitely worth the money and lovely looking, compact but sizeable filter section; I have had other brands but this is superb Quiet in running, economical and very easy to change the filters (which are not cheap but they only need changing every 6-8 months - others are much sooner) Clears smells and vaping smoke well, also cat dust and fur from the air so perfect for my needs

So far, it doesn't feel like it's doing anything for the bedroom, and I've had it a few days.ive actually been waking up itchier than when I did not have it in the room. It does not have a hepa filter. Amazon tricked me as well. There's a whole scandal about Levoit advertising as hepa when they are not https://levoit.com/products/core300-p-air-purifier?srsltid=AfmBOoqK509UC81aTdqXBCIyTOz3_VaAnSjaBC8ecGykAdQcqVQs6SjE

https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Purifiers-Efficiency-Intelligent-Purifier/dp/B08LH7XZ3H. This one but the amazon listing isn't available anymore. I think the new ones also support it. Also I believe have different devices available for different regions. I also have a Levoit purifier but that one requires a cloud connection to integration with HA, no local options afaik.

FYI HEPA filters are basically marketing BS in the consumer world. Very few filters with "HEPA" in their description are actually capable of meeting HEPA standards. $400 for a 200sqft capable air purifier is crazy. I have a Levoit core-300 for my 100sq ft room and it clears out my vape smoke in a matter of seconds. I believe its possible to get activated charcoal filters for this to help reduce odor, if not you can find activated charcoal sheets or packets to put inside the air path. There's a community supported HA integration for Levoit, but its reliant on the cloud service. You can flash the Core 300 with ESPHome though and have it work completely locally. I also have a Xiaomi Air Purifier 3C, it also relies on a community maintained integration with Xiaomi Miot but it can work locally too, I know cause I have it blocked from internet access and it works fine. There is also a way to flash ESPHome on these, but I haven't tried. I'm using that one in my living room which is somewhere around 800 - 900 sqft but its a double height living room so there's a tremendous amount of volume there. Side note, make sure you've looked at fixing other parts of your house before getting an air purifier. Make sure your AC ducts are clean, and the filter for your AC is working properly. Though don't put a high MERV filter in there unless your air handler is designed for it. You can actually filter more without putting extra stress on your air handler with thicker filters, but in my experience its rare to see units that can hold the thicker filters without modification. Also make sure your windows are sealed properly.

There isn’t anything wrong with Levoit. Lots of people use them without any issue. I am one of those people. Great machine, really makes a difference to the air quality.

I just bought the core 300, non smart version. Early days, but in the couple of weeks that I have been using it, no problems whatsoever and I am really happy with it. As you said, night mode is very quiet.

I have a couple of Levoit air purifiers, really happy with them. After purchasing one for the living room, I decided to buy another one for the bedroom. I have breathing problems and I dislike stuffy rooms. Have a little dig around, there is lots of great information on Levoit and other brands. Good luck!

Core 300 and core 300s.

I have recently purchased a Levoit core 300. Although I have only had it a few weeks, I can honestly say that it has really improved the air quality in my place. Yes it is circular and no, there isn’t any smell from it apart from the ‘new’ smell that you sometimes get from appliances. That being said, I have never had an air purifier before so nothing to compare it to. As I said, I have not had it very long, but I am so pleased with it that I am thinking of buying more. It is definitely a brand for you to consider.

I have recently purchased a Levoit core. Although it is early days, maybe a week or so, the air feels cleaner in the room it is in. I may in the future, purchase one more. I will be purchasing the same brand. No complaints so far.

I have recently purchased a Levoit Core 300. Although I have only been using it for a few weeks, I am impressed with the brand and its performance. No pets, but wanted one for air improvement. The room is a lot fresher when it is working. It really does help with cooking smells. All in all I am happy with it.

I'd be all over that. The 300P is my travel purifier. I kept the original product box and stash it in my full-size suitcase when we stay in hotels or AirBnBs.

I have the Levoit Core 300s for Pet, may 3 shih ako sa bahay, di nya totally nakukuha like ung mga hair pero sobrang satisfied kasi it serves its purpose lalo na ung amoy, nawawala talaga lalo na if may pets sa bahay. Goods cya for small to medium room. Madali lang din cya linisin. Cons: may pagkapricey nga lang, nasa 8k nabili ko pero sulit na cya!!

We have Levoits in our home (older model that I’m not sure they still sell) and while it doesn’t have washable filters, you can technically stretch out refill time by vacuuming it off and wiping it with a dry cloth in between times. They offer a wide range of different filter types, and one of them specifically is for smoke. We liked ours so much I got one for my parents at Christmas and they use the smoke filter. It works very well for being an air purifier on the smaller size! You can try pasting this into an Amazon search and you might still be able to find it: LEVOIT Air Purifier for Home, Covers Up to 1073 ft² by 56W High Torque Motor, 3-in-1 Filter with HEPA Sleep Mode, Remove Dust Smoke Odor, Core300-P, AHAM Verified

I'm severely allergic to my cat and got a Levoit core 300 with the pet allergy filters! It catches a ton of dust, the filters are relatively inexpensive, and we've had it for over a year and a half with no issues. Definitely helps my allergies imo!

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.

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).

Per the [AHAM 2/3 rule](https://ahamverifide.org/ahams-air-filtration-standards/), a 300 sq. ft. space needs a minimum of 200 CFM Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADRs). Since this is also an office, I assume quiet operation is needed too. Therefore you need to "oversize" a bit so you can run the purifier on a lower setting with adequate CADRs. I tend to recommend Coway as it's a high quality consumer-grade brand. The [Coway Airmega 400](https://cowaymega.com/products/airmega-400) should be a very good fit. Right now, the Airmega 400 is full price at Coway. I wouldn't buy it right now, as Coway's sales are frequent enough; last year, the Black Friday price was $349.) You may also want to check Sylvane and Amazon for deals. If you decide to buy from Coway, try using discount codes **COWAYMEGA10** or **FORYOU10** for 10% off. These are the standard e-mail sign-up codes. Keep in mind the CADRs listed for purifiers apply to the highest speed/setting only. Lower settings have lower CADRs which reduces cleaning effectiveness.

The coverage rating is wrong; 1,066 sq. ft. is at 1 Air Change per Hour (ACH) which is too low. Generally you want at least 4.8-5 ACH. Even then, I would consider CADRs first. The Levoit Core 300-P has a top Smoke CADR of 143 CFM. This means the largest room size for effective use would be 214.5 sq. ft. (assuming an 8 ft. high ceiling) according to the AHAM 2/3 rule.

I have two kinds of levoits. For the living room area (open concept, living room/kitchen/dining room so it’s large) we have the Core-300. In our bedrooms (two out of three bedrooms) we have Core-Mini P’s. We also have an aroeve in our office.
