Frequently asked questions
How big a room does the Levoit LAP-C201S cover?
AHAM suggests it for a room up to 140 square feet. That rating assumes it runs on high and cleans the air about 4.8 times an hour. For faster cleaning — say for wildfire smoke or allergies — size it to a smaller room than the maximum.
What is the CADR of the Levoit LAP-C201S?
Its AHAM Clean Air Delivery Rate is 101 for dust, 90 for smoke and 119 for pollen, with a PM2.5 CADR of 95. CADR is cubic feet of clean air delivered per minute — higher clears a room faster.
Does the Levoit LAP-C201S use a real HEPA filter?
Its filter is listed as HEPA-Type. "HEPA-Type" is not the same as true HEPA — it captures fewer of the smallest particles.
How much power does the Levoit LAP-C201S use?
About 44.3 watts on its smoke-clearing setting, which works out to 2 CADR per watt — a measure of how much clean air you get for the electricity it draws. It is not ENERGY STAR certified.
Where can I buy the Levoit LAP-C201S?
We haven't matched a retail listing to this exact AHAM-certified model, so we don't link one — AHAM model numbers often differ from the name a retailer sells it under. Search the model number above at your usual retailer and check what you find against the certified figures on this page. The replacement filters are the recurring cost — check those before you commit to a brand.
Sources. Clean Air Delivery Rate (dust / smoke / pollen), PM2.5 CADR, suggested room size, ENERGY STAR status and power draw come from the AHAM Verifide air-cleaner directory (the industry's independent CADR test). Average CADR, clean-air-per-watt and the percentile figures are computed by Verified HVAC Data from those published ratings. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means AHAM's record doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
