Levoit is one of the leading names in the air purifier space due to the popularity of its Core Series of air purifiers (like the 400S and 600S). I have tested all the models in this series and have found that they offer very good air cleaning performance, especially considering the low price.
Now, unlike the cylindrical and cheap Core series, the EverestAir is a rectangular air purifier with high-end features and a fairly expensive price tag.
But does the $499.99 mean that you’re getting much better air cleaning power compared to cheaper Levoit air purifiers? To find out, I bought an EverestAir with my own money to test everything about it.
The overall score for the Levoit EverestAir incorporates first-hand data results from our battery of tests, as well as our ratings for customer service, brand transparency, and design & UX. Check out the full scorecard below to see the split of categories.

Filtration technology
The EverestAir comes with bonded filter that captures particles and odors.
It comes with a washable, removable pre-filter that will trap larger particles like pet hair and fluff.
The main filter has a pleated particle filter on one side that will capture the tiniest of particles.
While the other side is packed with 400g of activated carbon pellets that trap odors.
Changing the filters on the Levoit Everest is easy as they are accessible from the front. You can see how easy it is in our video below:
Design, controls and app features
A large rectangular air purifier with smart features, adjustable air vents and an onboard air quality sensor.
This is Levoit’s largest air purifier. See how it compares to the mid-sized Vital 200S to get an idea of size.
As you can imagine, it is heavier than most Levoit models too. The good news is that it comes with a deep handle at the back and wheels at the bottom, so it’s easy to move it around.
At the top, you can see real time air quality readings from the onboard sensor.
You can switch between displaying filter information (filter life % so you know when it’s time to replace it) and air quality info (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 particles in the air).
One of my favorite features is having the ability to adjust the angle of the air vents at the top.
This is an innovative feature that will come in handy when you want to change the direction of the clean, filtered air coming out of your EverestAir.
If you’ve read any of my other reviews for Levoit models, you will have seen me say that the VeSync app is my favorite air purifier app.
I use the Apple app and have had no issues since I first installed it a few yeard ago. From the app, you can adjust the purifier’s fan speeds, track indoor air quality data in the room and also set timers.
Levoit also give you options to customize the device’s auto mode (offering choices for Default, Quiet, Eco and Efficient) and to set routines with simple smart home automations.
My biggest gripe about the app is that you usually get hit with ads for other Levoit products – this isn’t something I’ve seen in other air purifier apps.
Air cleaning performance
We tested the EverestAir in our 728 cubic ft. test room, tracking how fast it removed all PM1 particles from the air after we filled the space with incense smoke.
When running at top speed, our PurpleAir Zen sensor shows that the EverestAir needed 16 minutes to reach PM1 zero. Based on the natural ventilation of our test room, we estimate a PM1 CADR of 375 cfm.
This makes it powerful enough to provide five air changes per hour in large rooms up to 562 sq. ft when running at its top fan speed.
When we compare this against other air purifiers with similar performance, you can see that it outperforms more expensive air purifiers like the Jaspr:
And when it comes to VOC removal, I was surprised to see the EverestAir among the top 5 air purifiers with the best results, matching the performance of the pricier Dyson Big+Quiet.
BUT air cleaning performance alone won’t tell us the full story…
Sound levels
The sound levels of the EverestAir range from 39.1 to 57.8 dBA — considerably quieter other large air purifiers like the Winix 9800 or the Levoit 600S.
As I always say, if your air purifier is too loud, sooner or later you will end up turning it off. That is why we use a sound meter to measure how much noise in decibels the EverestAir generates at each fan speed from 3 ft. away:
The EverestAir is very quiet considering it’s power, hitting 57.8 dBA at top speed.
Nearly every other model I benchmarked it against is louder than this, with the exception of the commercial Blast Mini and the less powerful Winix 9800.
I repeated the particle removal test at speed 2 (43.2 dBA) and it needed 29 minutes.
Based on the natural ventilation of our test room, we estimate a PM1 CADR of 205 cfm at speed 2 – powerful enough to provide 5 ACH in rooms up to 307 sq. ft.
When we compare this to other devices with similar air cleaning power, you can see that the EverestAir offers excellent performance at quiet operation.
Long-term running costs
Running a Levoit EverestAir will cost you $215.13 per year, combining energy and filter replacement costs.
We used our energy meter to record how much electricity the EverestAir pulls at each fan speed and also while on standby.
At top speed, the EverestAir pulls 69.8 watts, so if you were to leave it running 24/7, it will add $115.14 to your yearly energy bill, based on the average U.S. electricity price as of July 2026.
But let’s look at the other main factor affecting yearly running costs: filter replacements.
According to Levoit, you need to change the filter in your EverestAir every 12-15 months. As always, I will take the lowest estimate for my calculations here. The original standard filter is available for $99.99. That means that you can expect to spend $99.99 each year on filter replacements alone.
We can add this to energy costs to work out the total yearly cost and compare it with the other devices I’m benchmarking the EverestAir against:
The Levoit EverestAir sits in the middle of the comparison here — it isn’t the most expensive, but it’s also not the cheapest to run in the long term.
Bottom line: Should you get a Levoit EverestAir?
The EverestAir comes with a premium price tag that will be too expensive for most, but you can usually find it on deal during Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday.

On paper, the EverestAir is a high-performing air purifier, so I expected it to perform well in our particle removal tests. What surprised me the most was how it performed in our VOC removal test, where it outperformed larger and more expensive models like the Coway ProX.
With a list price of $499.99, this is Levoit’s most expensive air purifier model and after using it all day, every day in our TV room, I can say that it’s also the most high-end design in their range. I always say that it looks like an air purifier designed by Apple.
If you are not bothered by the fancy features, then I recommend the Levoit Core 600S instead.
You’ll get similar air cleaning performance, app connectivity, an on-board sensor and smart modes for just $289. Just now that it runs louder than the EverestAir.
And if you’d like to save some $ and don’t want another app, check out the Coway 350.
For $339 you’ll get performance comparable to the EverestAir, an onboard sensor and smart modes. The biggest downside is that its louder than the EverestAir.
But if the $500 price tag of the EverestAir doesn’t put you off, then know that you will be getting an excellent air purifier that not only offers outstanding air cleaning power but it’s also incredibly quiet considering how hard its fan works.
