"It’s is SO MUCH more quiet than the s7 it ramped up the suction power from 4000 to 19000 yet I can let it clean my office room while being in a call now."
"Extremely quiet compared to our last one to the point where we can have it running while my partner is in work meetings (besides emptying water and dust bin, but that is 10 seconds of loud x 2)."
"pads that lift on carpet so you can run it while the baby naps"

"They do a good job of removing smoke from the room."
"The thing I noticed most and love about is that I no longer have the smell of my upstairs neighbor cooking wafting in."
"The sensors are amazing. ... Yes whenever I cook or smoke they instantly kick on and work really well."

"Definitely helps my allergies imo!"
"Last year there were wildfires nearby and the airmega kicked itself into high gear (I keep it on auto), so I do really trust that it’s actually doing something."
"We’ve also had terrible Smokey days from the Canadian wildfires in my area and when I last replaced my filter, it was almost black so it was working hard!"

"works wonders for 2 cats in my apartment as the unit has a washable pet hair pre-filter"

"About a year and the right bud would last about 15 minutes on a full charge."
"I've had them for a few years and now the battery doesn't last for more than 40 mins, so looking for a different model."
"And then during a race in September the mid sole of one pulled right off with less than 200 km on them."

"Mind you, the filters are astronomically expensive, and you will need to replace them way more frequently than what’s suggested."
"My new filter just arrived today and I noticed the weight of it was lighter than the previous replacement filter I was using. ... You can see right through where the charcoal beads are that it’s not even filled up all the way like before, so $99 for half the charcoal."
"It will clean air at first but it is cheap and the filter cost will add up over time. The lack of real pre-filters really kills these things."

"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."

"the medify one sounds horrible- it has a weird high pitch and i can’t stand it even on the very lowest setting. ... i actually sent it back and they replaced it and the second one sounds the same."
"We have 2 levoits and even on 1 I can hear it across the room with the TV on. ... They both have an ear-piercing high pitched sound that I can't stand."

"According to Shark, my air quality is a perfect 100% ALL DAY LONG. Even when: - My elderly Akita wanders by shedding fur like it's his job (and also pooting pretty non-stop) - I deliberately sprayed Lysol directly in front of it (for science!) ... The Shark? "100% perfect air, nothing to see here!" 🙄 ... But because it thinks the air is always fantastic, when I put it on auto/Eco mode, the higher fan rate is never triggered. ... It turned bright red, and said that the air would be clean again unless 60 minutes. It was back to 100 within a minute or two."
"I ordered 4 of these things and ALL of them sat off all day and night saying the air was perfect. ... All 4 of them did the same thing and would rarely come on."
"It's no wonder the filters last for 5 years, the thing never runs. ... They are not "purifying the air" if they are not moving the air through the filters."
AceMaxAceMax 1.0Levoit’s Vital 200S is great for what you’re looking for. There are various filters (pet, smoke, toxin) you can swap in place of the standard one. In the +/- month I’ve had it for, it’s done a great job. I also consulted RTINGs, which lead me to purchase one for my home… https://www.rtings.com/air-purifier/reviews/best/air-purifiers
What’s your budget? Check out RTINGs.com for reviews. Ike my Levoit Vital 200S a lot. Works great!
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.
Brtza94 1.0I have Levoit Vital 200s and I am satisfied
BruhBacon 1.0Levoit: 90CFM Winix (smoke/dust/pollen)**:** 232/243/246 So you're definitely getting a much stronger purifier with the Winix. If you're concerned about longevity, you can always go with the 5520/5510 (which is just their new version of the sorta-same machine). However, I don't know what the cost differential would be in England. A closer comparison (in terms of power) would be the "Levoit Vital 200s." Which I don't know why Levoit went with this naming, because it's so confusing. But that model has a CADR of 250 CFM. Again, apologies I don't know the pricing for England. IMO, it's a bit of a toss-up and I don't think you can go wrong. I'd personally prioritize power/CADR over smartphone functionality, mostly because I found auto good enough throughout the day, unless I need to cook dinner. Monitoring is nice, but I just don't see myself doing too much with the data itself. My personal order of importance: 1. Budget 2. Power 3. Reputation / quality of company (will they answer support tickets, warranty, etc.) 4. Aesthetics / Size (does it fit in my apartment and is it not an eye sore) 5. Bells and whistles
Chantsy4337 1.0Customer service is good but they changed the manufacturer of their filters and now they reek of chemicals. No thanks.
_Cryptonite_ 1.0Levoit Vital 200s or Coway Airmega 150. The vital has better CADR but if you want something smaller in size the Coway is a high quality unit.
The 1800sqft number is for only 1 ACH which is not how you should be shopping for purifiers. You want to base the unit off 4.8 ACH which is recommended. That makes the Levoit only good for 390sqft spaces.
Decapitat3d 1.0Loving my Levoit Vital 200s
Difficult_Jury_4469 1.0mas maganda yung square na prufier. levoit vital 200s
dpmex4527 1.0Second this. I’ve got four of these bad bois in various sizes around the house. They’re great! My wife worked at a Civil & Environmental Engineering department at a large/well known university and one of the faculty who specializes in Air Quality swears by this brand.
Eddiofabio 1.0I love my levoit. Stepped up the filter and it works wonderfully.
