Who it's for
Large living rooms and open-plan spaces that need real air-cleaning power.
The standout number
Smoke CADR of 391 — the number that decides how fast it clears wildfire smoke and fine particles.
The catch
AHAM's record lists no carbon stage. If odors or smoke smell matter, check the listing for a carbon filter before you buy.
What size room does the Levoit Core 600S-P cover?
AHAM certifies it for rooms up to 606 sq ft. In a room that size it cleans the air about 4.8 times an hour on its top speed (our math: 391 smoke CADR x 60 / the room volume, with 8-foot ceilings). In a room half that size (303 sq ft) it would clean the air about 9.7 times an hour.

Frequently asked questions
How big a room does the Levoit LAP-C601S-WUS (Core 600S-P) cover?
AHAM suggests it for a room up to 606 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-C601S-WUS (Core 600S-P)?
Its AHAM Clean Air Delivery Rate is 398 for dust, 391 for smoke and 436 for pollen, with a PM2.5 CADR of 394. CADR is cubic feet of clean air delivered per minute — higher clears a room faster.
Does the Levoit LAP-C601S-WUS (Core 600S-P) 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-C601S-WUS (Core 600S-P) use?
About 65.6 watts on its smoke-clearing setting, which works out to 6 CADR per watt — a measure of how much clean air you get for the electricity it draws. It is ENERGY STAR certified.
Where can I buy the Levoit LAP-C601S-WUS (Core 600S-P)?
It's a retail unit — we matched its Amazon listing, linked on this page, so you can check the current price and seller. 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.
