LEVOITAir Purifier and Tower Fan

I have used this for 5 months. I’ve used it 2.5 months in my 350 square foot bedroom, and another 2.5 months for my 650 square feet living room. Yes, I know this is rated for like 400 square feet, but here’s my review anyways.So here are the summary PROS and CONS, if you’d like to skip all the extensive details I will be going into…PROs:- Has auto sensors- Has quick timers on it that include 1h, 2h, 4h, and 8h- Has 4 fan levels- High CADR of 403, which means it is for large spaces and performs at 5x air changes per hour (ACH) at max of 403 sq ft.- Carries easily from room to room- Turn on/off display- Design/aesthetics- Price point with its features are incredibly competitive compared to products in the same exact level (as in, this would have been a lot more expensive because of its features)- Filters quite well- Keeps smoke and odor at bay- We love fan setting 2 to use for sleep- Vesync integration (Levoit’s app that controls everything by Levoit)- Alexa integration- Apple’s Home integration- Along this line, pretty sure it will connect with many other smart homes, like Google- Vesync app itself is probably in a whole other category of PROs because it’s actually really great- Vesync app tracks both indoor AND outdoor PM2.5, so you can see a history of air quality both inside and outside your house.- Vesync app lets you set up smart scenes from within the app, so you can program it to do anything when any condition is met- Vesync app has been frequently updating to be better and to support more, so there’s ongoing improvements beyond what I consider to be really great already.- No deceptive ads for this listing; it tells you exactly how many sq ft it covers based on industry standards of 5x air changes, and not based on 1x air change.CONs:- Doesn’t filter allergens as well as some other brands do, like Coway.- Another brand may be much better for people who suffer from pet allergens.- The bottom comes off sometimes when moving it around.- Vesync app does not always update air purifier immediately.- Vesync programming scenes can be finicky and not always work as intended.- Noise level on the highest setting is very loud (but so are pretty much ALL air purifiers set on highest).NEITHER Pros nor Cons:- Price of replacement filters (costs about $49.99/6-12 months)REVIEW:I REALLY wanted to love this air purifier. For the price, it had absolutely everything I wanted, especially the auto sensors and app integrations. It honestly did extremely well in almost all areas, except for the fact that as allergy-sufferers, this just did not work as well as I thought it would. My wife is the one who suffers from pet dander, pollen, and dust, and gets asthma from extremely bad air. For her, the air purifier didn’t make a difference at all. I’m pretty okay and just suffer the occasional seasonal allergies, so I couldn’t really tell if it was making a difference for me or not. All I could tell was that from the filters, I could see that fur and dust was getting sucked up. When I cleaned it every month, it collected a lot of stuff. So that’s good! On that note though, no, air purifiers are not meant for fur and won't help with fur. I used to think air purifiers helped keep the fur at a minimum, but nope, doesn't help at all. I have a husky... I still gotta vacuum every day cuz the fur is still everywhere. Anyways, the purifier would also automatically kick on when we fried food in the house or stir fried anything on a skillet. On very rare occasions, the forest fire smoke would come all the way from the next state over and the purifier would sense this smoke and also kick on. I was very happy with that. I tried this Levoit’s air purifier for a total of 5 months. 2.5 months in my 350 square foot bedroom, and another 2.5 months in my 650 square foot living room. It worked pretty much the same in both areas. I couldn’t tell much of a difference at all.However, I also tried Coway’s Airmega AP-1512HH for the same amount of time. I alternated between these two air purifiers for 2.5 months at a time in the bedroom and living room as well (total of 5 months). And Coway’s air purifier was the one that actually made a difference for my allergies. For my wife, it only helped a little, but for me, I could tell a difference in as little as 10-15 minutes when Coway’s was turned on high. Even though the Airmega was rated for 350 square feet, it still made a difference in my 650 square feet living room. The airflow on this thing is amazing as well; I could feel it's airflow on high from across the room! I have so many good things to say about Coway's Airmega, but the huge tradeoff is that it isn't Wi-fi enabled. Levoit's Wi-fi capabilities plus the app made such a big difference in convenience and scheduled cleanings, that I really wanted to hate Coway's Airmega. I can't, however, deny that Coway's helped my allergies. One day after coming home from an incredibly windy day out, we both started feeling increasingly stuffier (with headaches and migraines coming on) as the evening came to a close downstairs in the living room where the Levoit air purifier was. The sensor on the Levoit shows the air was still excellent, so we just thought we were exhausted from being outside for too long. We did not take any meds. We just headed upstairs to go to bed, where the Coway air purifier was. Pretty much in 15-20 minutes with Coway purifier on high, our stuffiness eased and we could finally breath without straining, and our headaches and migraines lifted. Like magic. Allergy meds don't even work that fast sometimes. That was probably one of the very few times that we could actually compare the two air purifiers because it made such a huge difference. All the other days, our air upstairs and downstairs were usually both very equal and neither purifiers made much difference (to the point that made me feel like air purifiers are just myths sometimes, but obviously isn't).So, after 5 months of trying BOTH these products where both have very similar CADR, I came to the conclusion that I will be sticking the Levoit in an area that has the least traffic since it doesn’t help much for allergy-sufferers. As a purifier for smoke and odor, this is actually a pretty good one though. When I cook and this turns on, my house smells less – although it doesn’t completely eliminate the smell. In fact, neither the Coway nor the Levoit was able to completely eliminate smells (but that was not my concern at all). The best thing about the Levoit, and I feel is the biggest selling point, is that it’s Wifi-enabled for an amazing price. The app is so dang good and useful that you can set this to turn on 4 times a day at 1 hour every time (or however many times a day for however many hours you want!), or control it from across the world, or set it to turn on and clean the air right before you come home. It is so handy! Plus, it works really well with Alexa. And the auto sensors do actually work really well.At the end of the day though, my purpose for buying this were for allergies. Coway won in the area of purifying enough to help allergy-sufferers and auto-sensing. I don’t know how, but the sensors on the Coway are much more sensitive than Levoit’s; so sensitive, that opening a door activates Coway’s, while Levoit's sensors tells me that the air quality is still excellent. Now, I wasn’t here to review Coway at all, but I couldn't give a review of Levoit's air purifier without comparing the two. Looking at other people's reviews about how Levoit's air purifier helped with their allergies and such though, made me feel like either I got a defective device from Levoit, or our allergies are actually much more severe than the regular folks with allergies. Anyways, given that Levoit gave me no relief from my somewhat allergies in comparison to the other brand that I bought and tried at the same time, I will admit that I would probably not buy Levoit’s purifiers for myself ever again. If I had a friend that just needed something to keep the air clean and somewhat help with odors, AND really wanted one that’s Wifi-enabled, I’d definitely recommend this though. The app is a game-changer, and should be given an award – it’s so good and it’s always being updated; Levoit has a ton of Wi-fi-enabled products as well and all controlled with this one app. In fact, I have a Levoit humidifier, AND I also have a different small Levoit purifier for the cat’s bathroom that works extremely well too when it comes to keeping the odor at bay (so Levoit for fighting odors seems to be working pretty well in that department). Both are Wi-fi-enabled and just a game-changer. I just wish Levoit’s purifier for my living room worked better for allergies as well, but sadly, this model just didn’t and couldn’t. Pretty disappointed.ENERGY CONSUMPTION:Auto Mode: 4w - ?Sleep Mode: 3wFan Speed 1: 5wFan Speed 2: 8wFan Speed 3: 15wFan Speed 4: 35wProduct's Rated Power from product's website: 38w

So I was looking for an air filter for my Florida room, which is the only room in my home where I smoke cigarettes.In the non summer months I just keep all the windows open and the room airs out. But in the summer months when the humidity is unbearable down here, I have to run an air conditioner in the room. Which means I have to close the windows, which means the cigarette smoke doesn’t air out. So it’s a dilemma for me.It’s either sit in the room sweating and uncomfortable in the humidity with the windows open and let the smoke out - or shut the windows and use the AC and have the room filled with lingering smoke. Neither of which are ideal options.So I figured an air filter might be a solution. I found though that it wasn’t that simple, because then it turns into which air filter to get that’s actually going to work, without breaking the bank as well.I was trying to find the best air filter to solve this issue within a reasonable price point. I really did not want to spend more than maybe $200 or so. Before finding this one, I tried 2 others that literally did nothing, that were admittedly a bit cheaper than this one.Then I found this one, and it was delivered the same day. I got this one today, hooked it up and did a real time test.I put this unit on a stand in a good spot in the room, set it up, plugged it in, and the air quality in the room was reading very good - indicated by the blue ring and very low number on the screen. I then closed all the windows, turned on the AC, and then lit up a cigarette.I purposefully blew the smoke right onto the unit every time I took a drag and exhaled. I knew immediately that this was going to work when this filter INSTANTLY detected the cigarette smoke, and the blue light ring whichmeans excellent air quality, turned red, and the air quality numbers on the screen jumped from around 20 (which means excellent air quality) to about 900 (which means the air quality is horrendous).Once the machine detected the smoke, it immediately began filtering it out of the air, and I literally sat there and watched the numbers on the screen going down in real time as it was removing the smoke.The red lights also gradually turned to orange, then green, then I left the room for 10 minutes.When I came back in the room (which is not very big, maybe 600 sq ft tops) there was no visible smoke in the air, and the light ring was back to blue, and the air quality numbers were back well below 30. So this had cleaned the air and removed all the smoke.This machine is beyond impressive.Now, I will say that even though the smoke was gone in the air, there still was a lingering faint odor of cigarette smoke in the room. But I also did not give the machine a full hour to run for the test. My thinking is that if I did, it would have removed the odor as well in a bit more time.Given what I watched this do in the short test though, and how it performed? This air filter is truly remarkable, and I’m beyond happy with this purchase so far.I would highly recommend this product for anyone trying to deal with any kind cigarette, or other kinds of smoke in a dwelling of any kind.

Me encanta mi Levoit! Investigué sobre los purificadores de aire durante más de un mes, tratando de determinar cuál tenía el mejor rendimiento, un filtro de calidad y muchas funciones modernas. Vi horas de reseñas en vídeo, clasifiqué artículos y evalué cada uno de ellos, incluyendo a Levoit, por supuesto, a Dyson, Mila, Molekule, Coway… solo por nombrar los más populares que he visto. A fin de cuentas, la Levoit tiene lo mejor que estaba buscando.FILTRACIÓN: el filtro de esta cosa es una bestia, Es enorme y tiene una gran cantidad de gránulos de carbono que se pueden ver realmente. Muchas otras marcas utilizan una pequeña lámina de carbono que prácticamente no capta los COV ni los olores, pero Levoit incluyó una tonelada de gránulos de carbono en este filtro. Además, el monitoreo láser de la calidad del aire es lo mejor que puede obtener. Reacciona casi de inmediato, tal vez con un retraso de 5 a 10 segundos, ante cualquier cambio en la calidad del aire. Uno de los más silenciosos del mercado.DISEÑO: Definitivamente no es una máquina «pequeña», pero tampoco es la más grande. Es elegante y se ve bien en mi sala de estar, teniendo en cuenta que es lo suficientemente potente como para limpiar todo mi apartamento de 70m. La pantalla le brinda toda la información que necesita sin ser un monitor de pantalla táctil odiosamente brillante. Me gusta mucho poder controlar la pantalla o activar el modo de «detección de luz», lo que sería genial para un dormitorio, ya que reduce automáticamente la velocidad del ventilador y apaga la pantalla cuando oscurece con el modo sueño.APLICACIÓN: La aplicación es estupenda, está repleta de funciones. Puedes ver todo lo que puedas en la propia máquina, como el porcentaje de calidad del aire, las PM1.0, 2.5 y 10, cambiar la velocidad del ventilador o ponerlo en modo automático, ver la vida útil del filtro y encender o apagar la pantalla.PRECIO: Teniendo en cuenta que algunos de los competidores, como Dyson y Molekule, pueden alcanzar los 800€, ¡el levoit tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio! Por supuesto, merece la pena al 100%.AYUDA A PURIFICAR: ¡Claro que sí! Sufro de alergias estacionales graves tanto en primavera como en otoño, y cuando estaba en casa, no tenía que tomar ningún medicamento para la alergia, colirios ni aerosoles nasales, ¡y tengo que darle las gracias! Duermo mejor y mis muebles se mantienen más limpios, ya que las partículas se filtran del aire antes de que puedan asentarse y olores.EN RESUMEN: Si estás buscando alguna de las marcas que he mencionado, ¡no dudes en comprar este! No te arrepentirás.Dale a útil 🙏🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Bought a couple of these in replacement of another brand which I returned due to app connectivity issues.Had these a fair few months now and so far so good.The build quality is good; though the filter cover could do with more of a resistive feel when closing it. Filters are good as well; at the rate I’m going mine would probably last about 6-8 months which is expected.Purifiers connected to the app first time with no issues. A shame thisnourifier only connects to the 2.4GHz band; but that seems to be the case with most air purifiers across brands.This one has a sensor to run the purifier in auto mode. It’s just a PM2.5 sensor which seems to be the most common in auto air purifiers but there are some that also measure larger particles and VOCs.The sensor seems okay. When I spray aerosol while getting dressed the purifiers detects the increase in particles and spins up the fans; bringing the levels down again.Fan noise is okay for me; given most of the time the purifier is in speed 1 (what sleep mode would be at) and only spins up when it detects pollutants. When the fan speeds up you can hear more airflow. Pose than the fans but it can get noisy. Not loud imo but noisy.Smart connectivity is good as well. I have mine turn off and on based on other smart home events.Display is good, easy to use and informative. Can be locked and lights can also be turned off if required.In terms of performance; it has certainly made a different in our home. The air smells fresher and looks cleaner when the sun streams through the windows. Since I’ve had my units, the pollution outside has gone above index 3 so I’ve not had the chance for the purifier to counter any increases level of outside pollution or pollen.The filter is pricey I reckon but not that dissimilar to other comparable filters for air purifiers. Mine is on track to last about 6 months based on the reports life through the app. I would say this is expensive but since I’ve had these running in my home I’ve not had to buy an air freshener since so saving money there go an into the filters; so may not cost me much more to run.All in all; this is a decent purifier. Only thing is I wish it has more different types of air pollution measurements instead of just fine particulate matter: but that said, rest assured the purifier filter filters out more than the sensor can sense. The filter is comparable to pretty much any other air purifier filter.Price-wise; I think it is expensive given the lack of a multi sensor; but it does redeem itself somewhat with the app as well as the build quality and filter performance.I have one I’m the hallway downstairs and landing upstairs and I will be looking at smaller models for each room.

Levoit is there for you if any problem should arrive. They deal with the matter promptly and see things from your point of view. It is an exemplary company vis-a-vis the consumer. And I LOVE the 600S air purifier : it has surpassed my expectations!! Pollen filtered out and the air in the flat is cleaner than outdoor (Paris city center); this machine is a joy to have in the home! And it has won an architectural design prize for its good looks. And while it is a medium sized machine, it is discreet and fits in well with the decor. Highly, highly recommend!!!!

Der Luftfilter erfüllt seine Hauptaufgabe sehr gut, das bestätigen auch meine hochwertigen Sensoren von Air Q - und meine Allergie. Bis runter zu PM1 wird alles rausgefischt.Die App Steuerung funktioniert auch einwandfrei, und es lässt sich im Smart Home sogar prima mit meinem Home Assistant koppeln!Und das man einen Luftstrom hört, geschenkt.Allerdings hätte LEVOIT für diesen Preis wirklich höherwertigere Lager verbauen können. Denn man hört nicht nur im Ruhemodus vor allem das Lager des Motors surren, nach kurzer Zeit hat auch der kleine Ventilator des eingebauten PM2,5 Sensors einen Lagerschaden entwickelt.Der Haken daran? Den hört man auch im ausgeschalteten Modus, denn der läuft immer - außer man zieht den Stecker komplett, das ist aber kaum die Idee.LEVOIT hat zwar nach Videobeweis anstandslos ein Ersatzgerät geschickt (mit dem Hin und Her mit deren Support hat das 2 Wochen gedauert, das ginge auch schneller), aber (wenn auch leiser) hat mein 400s das gleiche Problem.Dafür einen Stern Abzug und jetzt einmal schauen, wie lange das Ersatzgerät hält.

Ich weiß gar nicht wie ich anfangen soll.Ich fange mal mit den positiven Dingen an:✅ Beseitigt wirklich alle Gerüche aus meinem Zimmer. Wir haben einen Nachbarn dessen Zigarettenrauch in mein Zimmer eindringt beim Lüften etc. Nach 5 Minuten auf höchster Stufe ist der Geruch weg!!!✅ Sammelt Staub am Filter, sodass weniger im Zimmer rumfliegt✅ Alexa/ Handy App Konektivität✅ Schlafmodus -> extra leiser (mit Timerfunktion)❎ Der Filter, wurde einmal nach einer Shishasession verwendet. Während des Rauchens habe ich ihn auch verwendet, Obwohl alle Fenster geöffnet waren. Beim verwenden riecht man einen leichten Shishatabak Geruch, was mich leider stört.❎ Filter staubt sich voll. Ich nehme ihn daher immer raus und staubsauge ihn einmal
