Frequently asked
- Which Levoit air purifier is best?
- For most living rooms the Vital 200S: AHAM-certified for 388 sq ft, 250 smoke CADR, 52.4 W, $189.99 on November 4, 2026. For a big room the Core 600S (606 sq ft, $269.99). For a bedroom the Core 300 (222 sq ft, $84.99).
- What room size is a Levoit really good for?
- Use AHAM's certified room size. The Vital 200S listing says up to 1,875 sq ft; AHAM certifies it for 388 sq ft, 4.8x smaller. AHAM sizes the room for clearing smoke and pollen, which takes several air changes an hour, so its number is the one to buy on.
- Core 300 vs Core 400S vs Core 600S?
- By certified room size: Core 300 222 sq ft ($84.99), Core 400S 358 sq ft ($189.97), Core 600S 606 sq ft ($269.99). Buy the one that covers your room; a bigger unit on a lower speed is quieter.
