Levoit has recently established itself as one of the most popular air purifier brands worldwide. Winning many awards, including the German Innovation Award, IF Design Award, and a Red Dot Design Award, Levoit air purifiers are widely preferred due to their attractive designs, zero ozone emissions, low costs, and high-grade filtration.
They stock multiple sizes of purifiers, from desktop to extra-large units that come with wheels for easy transportation. Like the other brands, Levoit purifiers feature multiple filter types, and all have a 3-stage filtration system:
- Pre-filter
- Activated Carbon filter
- True HEPA filter
One unique aspect that Levoit prides itself upon is that its purifiers don’t produce ozone, making them safer for you and your family. Levoit is industry-leading when it comes to price and performance. They have different powerful models to effectively clean air in rooms of all sizes, performing just as well as the more premium air purifiers on the market.
Everyone has unique needs and wants when it comes to purchasing an air purifier, and sometimes it can be a little challenging to find the best unit to suit your individual needs. You need to get a quality model that matches the size of your space for it to work effectively. While it may also help to narrow down your specific needs, also consider the following:
- Noise levels
- Cost of filter replacement
- Energy efficiency
By assessing the needs and wants of different users, we’ve put together some of our favorite Levoit air purifiers to suit every space. Each of the units has been put through it’s paces during our real-world testing, without bias as we never accept free products, making our reviews 100% independent. Levoit air purifiers are not without problems so be sure to also look at our troubleshooting levoit air purifier guide that will help you fix most issues that face these purifiers.
The Top 3 Levoit Air Purifiers
As no two spaces are the same, we’ve put together a range of different Levoit air purifiers to suit varying needs. Whether you’re looking for a unit to target smoke or dust, for use in an open-plan space, to sit on a tabletop, or perhaps you’re looking for a purifier with the latest smart features, we’ve got something for everyone on this list.
1. Best Overall: Levoit Core 400S
As Levoit’s mid-range unit from the celebrated Core range of purifiers, the 400S is the ideal unit for the average home. Best suited to medium to large rooms, this purifier comes with a pre-filter, H13 HEPA, and Activated Carbon filters to tackle a whole host of pollutants, marking its impressive performance with a clean air delivery rate (CADR) of 260 CFM.
Capable of cleaning the air in a 403 sq. ft. space five times every hour, this unit is ideal for allergy sufferers, eradicating pollen, dust, and pet dander with ease. If you live in a larger home or have more open planned spaces, this unit will still perform two air changes an hour in a 1005 sq. ft. space, which is a testament to the power and versatility of this purifier.
This performance is in part thanks to Levoit’s trademarked VortexAir fan system. With 360-degree air intake, curved blades and raised vents, this unit can draw in air at a rapid rate, leading to its enhanced purification, whilst also remaining energy efficient and capable of creating whisper-like volume levels.

5. Best Portable (& Powerful) Unit: Levoit Core Mini
For many users, a key consideration when buying a purifier is its portability. Levoit has nailed this concern with the Core Mini, which is small enough to sit on a desk or bedside table and light enough to carry with ease. Moreover, it comes with 3-stage protection, including a pre-filter, HEPA, and Activated Carbon filter, guaranteeing that 97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns will be removed from your space.
As well as providing effective protection against harmful pollutants and VOCs such as fumes and odors, this unit allows you to transform your environment thanks to its aromatherapy function. By adding essential oils, the unit will emit pleasant aromas of your choice throughout your space.

It’s a good air purifier to keep noise levels low for a sound night’s sleep, which is enhanced by sleep mode. The unit’s room coverage is 161 sq. ft., which is why it’s widely preferred for smaller bedrooms and office spaces.
One of the significant differences of this model is that it uses one-button control, unlike the others with a multi-button control panel. The one-button design enhances the simplicity of the design and is perfect for those who prefer not to fiddle around with settings but want to let the unit get on with it.

8. Best Smart Performance on a Budget: Levoit Core 300S
As fantastic as the Core 300 is, Levoit realized some of its customers would benefit from the exemplary smart features found on other models in the range. With this in mind, they developed the futureproof 300S model. Expect the powerful performance of the Core 300, yet with all the bells and whistles their S products offer.
As with the Core 300, you get an H13 HEPA filter capable of capturing at least 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns within a 219 sq. ft. room. The high-efficiency Activated Carbon layer absorbs VOCs, including harmful chemicals and fumes whilst helping remove unpleasant odors from your home.
Where the 300S differs is with its range of advanced smart features that will enable the user to operate the unit in new ways and learn more about your environment’s air quality. Perhaps the best smart feature comes from Levoit’s AirSight™ Plus technology. This enables the purifier to monitor the surrounding air and provide real-time air quality updates through its color-coded display and more detailed feedback through the Levoit app.

Common Questions About Levoit Air Purifiers
🤔 Is Levoit American made?
Levoit is an American-based company with its headquarters located in California. They conduct all the research and development in their HQ, designing units to the highest specification to meet US standards. Once the purifier has been designed, it is then manufactured in China.
🤔 Does Levoit produce ozone?
One of the biggest draws of Levoit’s range of products is that they are all 100% ozone free. By simply using high-grade mechanical filters (rather than Ionizer or UV technology), Levoit offers excellent purifier performance without running the risk of emitting harmful ozone.
🤔 Is Levoit a good brand?
Levoit is a relatively new brand, having launched in 2017. Despite their tender years, they have rapidly gained popularity thanks to their excellent product performance and reasonable prices.
Levoit products often rank highly amongst independent product reviews, and each unit we’ve tested has impressed us. From gauging customer feedback online, Levoit is often praised for its helpful customer support, with centers in the U.S., Europe and Asia. What’s more, Levoit offers special discounts through VerifyPass to active military personnel, veterans, medical staff, first responders, and teachers, which is a big plus from our point of view.
How We Picked Our Top Choices
We don’t recommend units without being 100% confident in our real-life performance testing process. That’s why we test all the models we recommend in the same room (sized 705 cubic ft) performing the same job (removing incense smoke).
This allows us to compare units side by side and create “best” lists like this one. The most important features we analyzed when choosing which Levoit air purifiers we consider the best:
- Availability – We started with a long list including all 14 Levoit units currently available for sale in the United States
- Performance – We used published CADR scores but also tested the units in our home to make sure real-world performance matched with the lab
- Budget – The Levoit brand is aimed at affordable units so the relationship between price and performance was a major factor in whether we recommended or not a specific Levoit unit
- Long-term costs – We took into account the costs of filter replacement (usually every 6 months) and electricity usage for each unit
SOURCES
Monthly energy consumption costs have been calculated using our air purifier electricity usage calculator, which allows us to calculate daily and yearly costs associated with running an air purifier for 24hrs a day.
You can customize the result by air purifier wattage and by state. In the case of the calculations we shared on this page, we used California as our base state for energy prices.
