Used this for two nights so far, noise level is not an issue, three speed levels, first one you can barely hear the machine, level two I consider perfectly acceptable and even level three is still quieter than most fans. I have the machine to do an admirable job, my husband suffers terribly with Hayfever and this certainly makes a positive difference.
The machine is bigger than I thought and is not really suitable for s bedside table as it needs space around it to draw in air to filter.
I moved it to the end of the bed which gives it the required space needed and it still does an excellent job.
Also note that it can be sighted anywhere and moved throughout the day, say lounge during the day and bedroom at night.
All told, very pleased and definitely recommend but please remember that you are buying an air purifier, don’t expect it to do things it wasn’t designed to do.

 

Before I review – I want to thank you so much for making such a machine available for me. You have probably saved my sanity, my pregnancy…maybe my life. Sounds exaggerated I know but honestly this machine is the reason I started enjoying my pregnancy.
I have a severe Hayfever allergy and always been taking pills for it during the season. I never realised how bad the allergy is, until I got pregnant and got told you aren’t allowed to take anything. Other than having to wake up 4-5 times to pee during the night, I now also started to wake up additional 3 times by my throat itching me, nose blocked, eyes falling apart…well you get it. first night ok..second night..ok…but after 2 weeks I would literally wake up cryiiiiinggggg. I was exhausted, found no good position to sleep and I was constantly up at night peeing or trying to scratch my throat from the inside/ Scratch my eyes out.

And then…my husband suddenly had a lightbulb moment – there is this machine!!!
We went on amazon straight away and after some research decided on this one!
It came in the day after with Prime.
It has 3 strengths and it has a light in case you need it during the night.
We put the machine on 2 hours before I go to sleep( to start clearing the room)..and my oh my….I did not wake up from allergy at all. I put it on the 1st setting. if you are used to sleep in silence with no sound around – then of course this machine makes sound as it takes air in and blows it out clean. so the first night I was very aware of the sound ( it’s 3 metres away from where I sleep). now I don’t hear it anymore, it’s actually soothing.
When we have had the door/ window open whole day to air out – I’d put it it on number 2.
When I wake up go to livingroom I can already feel my nose starting to block up again, id put the machine there on number 3 for 20 minutes and then I feel I can move around better.
Just be aware that it shoots out the air so it could posssssiiibly make the room cooler, I’m using it to clear my allergy now during spring and It’s fine but I’m just thinking how it would have coped if I had a baby in the room and if its …let’s say February and I’m using it for other reasons. Would I feel the breeze?

This machine has saveeeed my sanity, thank you so sooo sooo much !!!

 

I love my Levoit air purifier, as far as it is possible to love an inanimate object. It’s no exaggeration to say that it has improved the quality of my life. I have lung disease and struggle with breathlessness (particularly during hayfever season!). The Levoit air purifier fills my medium-sized bedroom with fresh, clean air. My chest and sinuses are clearer and I can breathe much better. Our neighbours regularly have long BBQs in their garden which fill my whole house with smoke but my bedroom always stays fresh. I also use it overnight as it’s quiet on the lowest mode and it alleviates my nighttime congestion. I turn on the blue nightlight too as I find it soothing.
I’ve owned my Levoit for more than 8 months and when it came to replacing the filter (an easy job), I was shocked to discover how much crap the filters have collected! It’s a relief to know that I’m no longer breathing in all those harmful pollutants. I’m so impressed that I’ve purchased the larger Levoit purifier for my living room and the smaller purifier for my kitchen. And I’ve already noticed a reduction in cooking odours. This is easily the best purchase I’ve ever made. I recommend it to anyone who wants a breath of fresh air!

 

I brought this to get rid of cigarette smoke that seeps into my bedroom from my neighbour’s apartment. I tried other filters that were smaller but they did not work.

From day one, this filter eliminated the cigarette smell in 20 mins! The highest setting on the filter is quite powerful, so if you need a room to be refreshed quickly, you can get that done with this.

This is more then suitable for a small room and is probably made for a medium size room.

If you need to keep it on all night, the lowest setting is quiet enough to not disturb you. If you have used a fan in the summer, then the sound you get from the fan is louder then this filter.

It’s worth every penny and you will be getting the performance where it counts with this little beast!

 

edited: added back the star that I deducted because of the bright lights showing the fan speed etc. a kind commenter informed me that if you hold the light symbol down for 4 seconds all the lights turn off! this was not in the instructions – i’m about 98% sure anyway! this is now the holy grail of air purifiers! *insert that holy grail/praying emoji*

This has made life bearable again! I’d wake in the night sniffing and itching, and every morning. It was a nightmare. I’d lived in the city and definitely had hay fever but never this bad – until we decided to up sticks so the little ones could grow up with the expanse of the countryside! – to my own detriment apparently! It took a year of suffering before I stumbled upon the idea of a purifier. Settled on this, thinking if it helped even a bit then I’d upgrade to a vax/Dyson but I don’t think I’ll bother. This works so well.
The ONLY reason there’s one less star is because I use it in my bedroom at night, and there is no way to turn off the “power on” button light, or the light indicating the “speed”. And in the pitch black it’s pretty bright. I’ve resorted to covering them with a sock which sort of does the trick. But honestly – even knowing that I’d still buy it again. If you’re struggling like I was – it’s so worth it. And to boot, my asthma has definitely improved. I’m not even sure where my reliever is right now!!

 

I bought this so I’d be able to vape indoors during those times that having a door/window open wasn’t possible and it works great. It sits on the floor and when I’m vaping I blow in the general direction of the purifier – it keeps the room completely cloud-free. It’s not exactly quiet but on settings 1 and 2 I can still watch TV at normal volume.
I’ve had this for aprox 18 months but tho be honest can’t say exactly how much runtime it’s had in that period. I’ve just ordered a replacement filter since the noise level has increased slightly and it sounds like it could be due to the fan having to work harder pulling air through it.

 

After looking at many different purifiers I am super happy I settled on this one.
I bought this as my child suffers from seasonal asthma, which leads to many sleepless nights (waking 4-5 times a night) I put it on for about 2 hours before bed and I have seen a huge improvement. After using for a few months my child now only wakes 1-2 times.
I noticed the room felt fresh. It felt as if you had walked outside.
There are two settings for the nightlight and even on the lowest setting I find it to still be a little bright. So I don’t use it.
There are 3 ‘fan’ settings. The highest is the loudest, a bit louder than a normal fan. The lowest setting is a bit like white noise, so I believe you could fall asleep to it.
Highly recommend!

 

In a previous review I wrote about how I bought the larger levoit Air Purifier (pic3), it was the larger one with remote wifi control, I thought it helped me so much with my sinus infection which I’d had for months and within a few days too it had gone! I bought this model to go downstairs in my study. I spend most of my day in here at my desk, and I was finding although I wasn’t coughing when lay down anymore and my sleep had improved and the air much fresher in my bedroom I was getting a blocked nose whilst sitting down here. So I got this model. No reason I chose this other than I liked the aesthetics of it, it looked a little more stylish than the other which just looked like a box. I also wasn’t sure if I would swap them round and have this model upstairs, but I decided not to as I don’t have carpets etc downstairs so felt the more industrial model would be better served upstairs. I use it every day, I just have it on setting 1, there are 3 settings. I leave the other upstairs on constantly on auto, and if I’m cooking downstairs and frying something I’ll turn the model down here up to 3 to help clear the air. The upstairs one works automatically and comes on with any pollutants sensed in the air. It also has a blue light on this model with 2 settings, 1 dimmer than the other. I’ve not had to replace any filters yet on either, so can’t comment on the longevity of the filter, I may update this review when I do replace the filter. They’ve certainly helped my life with allergies, especially with it being cold at the moment and the house sealed up to keep the heat in.

UPDATE : It’s been approximately 9 months since I bought this and although the change filter light hadn’t come on I’d changed the filter on the upstairs one so I changed this one too. It was really dusty inside. It’s amazing how much they accumulate. I’ve also had no sinus infections since using them. (I’ve included a pic of the dirty filter). I’d still highly recommend this brand.

 

I have bought this a year ago because I have cats living inside and did not want to come home to cat smell. I have a large room and three cats.
It can run the whole day at the 2 speed and does not take too much energy or causes too much noise. My home does not smell after cats when I come home. It can take care of the usual cat smell, does not clean the air after bigger cat litter box accidents. It can also catch some dust and cat hair. It works fine, as expected. When it breaks i will probably try something more powerful, but just because of too many cats and the large room.
The speed 1 does not seem to work for my big room, the speed 3 is kind of noisy (poor cats listening to it for the whole day). If they turn it off it takes like three hours speed 3 to remove the smell.
Just buying a new filter now (after almost a year) because the one I can see does not seem very clean. But I would not know if it removes dust, bacteries or anything from the air. Still seems to work just fine, changing the filter just because of how it looks.
Only issue I see is that i wanted to use it with smart power socket and when it turns off it does not start again after the power socket turns on.
Depends on what people want from it. I only have it to remove the cat smell. Some other air purifiers would probably be more powerful. But it seems good comparing price, noise level, energy efficiency.

 

I decided to invest in an air purifer after being susceptible to Autumn / Winter coughs/colds & bought this one as it was on SPECIAL at the time.

Initially, I was surprised at how large this is (In my haste to bag a bargain, I failed to check the dimensions) & not sure this can be described as ‘compact’. However, it was extremely easy to assemble & once operational, I felt my breathing became easier.

I first used the device in the lounge keeping the setting on mid or 2, whilst I showered and upon entering the lounge again, the air somehow felt cleaner and the cough was easing.

I then lowered the device to low, 1 and was able to watch TV without noticing the noise. I also attempted to sleep with it on, placed on the bedside cabinet. To me, I found the noise (on the lowest setting) similar to that of an immersion / boiler system. Its not unpleasant & if you’re used to sleeping next to a modern HW tank, then you’ll know exactly what I mean. My sleep was disturbed, due to the cough & I couldn’t work out if the device helped or not. It went on & off a couple times before deciding to leave it on & eventually falling asleep, (possibly due to exhaustion from the cough)…

I will persevere with it though and even if I dont sleep with it on, its a great way to clean the air an hour or so before going to bed. In this instance, I would use the mid 2 or highest setting, 3.

I dont know about the timer function, I’m sure I read it switches off automatically after 8 hours but I might be wrong. The light function works well and can be toggled on/off, bright/dim & doesn’t affect the functionality of the device.

I like it but really need to use it more to establish whether or not it truly works..

 

This is a great little purifier that can easily purify a medium to large room.

It has a nice blue glow if desired which I use for my daughters night light. This is activated to different intensities by press of a touch sensitive button or can be left off.

The filter is easy to clean by unscrewing the bottom and either using a hoover, compressed air can or a slightly damp sponge. If using water, ensure dry before you put it back on.

I find best results are achieved by giving the room a quick hoover then putting the purifier on full for an hour or two before bed then put on minimum during the night. (daughters room is 6x5m squared)

Downsides are more compared to other similar or higher priced purifiers (lower priced ones usually sacrifice on filtration)
No intelligent air purification
No remote purification
No timed purification

Only reason I’ve marked it down is, I’d of loved it to have an intelligent or timed filtration feature but it was reviewed best for price.

 

This Levoit Air Purifier looks well made and is about the size of an average domestic wastepaper bin, it comes with a filter and clear instruction leaflet plus a 2-year warranty. I ordered the black finish which fits into the decor of most rooms quite well.

There’s a blue LED nightlight with two levels and an off feature. One slight issue though is that you can’t turn off the quite brightly illuminated control buttons. There are three fan settings, and, on the lowest, it’s very quiet, even on the middle setting it’s fine for us during the night but may not be for others. Selecting the highest fan speed increases the noise a bit more but it’s still fairly quiet. There’s also a filter replacement light which comes on when it’s time to change the filter. Filters can last up to 6 months depending on use.

We use this in the bedroom and have found we sleep a lot better with it. The filter seems to trap quite a lot of dust etc. and the air does feel genuinely fresher. One thing I’d have liked (and accept it would increase the price) is some kind of air quality monitor that could automatically switch the unit on and off when air quality fell.

Overall, so far, we’re pleased and think this unit represents good value for money, however, we are wary of some concerns about the long term reliability of the unit although it does have a two-year warranty.

 

Needed an air purifier for my bedroom after getting pet rats as they have weak respiratory systems and can’t handle dust. This worked perfectly! The filters last ages, even when being on almost constantly, and you can really tell the difference to air quality.
Good size, looks nice, and even the night light comes in really handy.
My rats don’t sneeze now and even I feel a ton better. Can’t recommend this enough.

 

This thing is great. I’ve never really felt the need for an air purifier before, but when it was on offer i gave it a go.

Came quickly and just needed a tiny bit of set up to get the filter in place. As others have commented, its noisy on full blast. And the light isnt for everyone. But for us, the noise has replaced a white noise machine we had in the bedroom, and the blue light (on its lowest setting) just lights up the room enough that trips to the bathroom in the dark dont require any other light.

We keep it by the side of our bed, and it stays on all night. Both the wife and I have both commented that we wake up feeling fresher than before. No coughing or sneezing. We both feel like we’ve had a better nights sleep.

My one complaint would be that it works so well! It acts as quite a powerful fan as well. So in winter when the rooms are cooler, it feels like its blowing out cold air at quite a rate. We’re currently trying to relocate it!

 

We purchased this for a bedroom, which has the usual gadgets TV and Games Console, these are dust magnets and although the room is cleaned on a regular basis dust just seems to appear which was the reason for purchasing the Levoit Air Purifier along with cleaner air and to reduce allergens.

I have owned the device 2 weeks now and I have to say the results are very positive, after 2 days of operation I noticed a reduction in sneezing, dust is not accumulating as quickly and from just 2 weeks of use the filter has captured a fair amount (see my pictures).

The Pro’s
– 3 Operating Modes which suit all occasions, setting 1 is perfect while sleeping, setting 2 is great for day time use and when I leave the house I change to setting 3 which is louder.
– Ability to turn off the blue light when sleeping is a great function
– Results after 2 weeks of use are positive
– Reduced sneezing and waking up in the morning with dry throat
– Easy to set up
– Well built product and doesn’t look out of place in the bedroom

The Con’s
– Although one of the smallest devices on the market its still a fair size, placing it in the room which has a power outlet can be tricky, it requires a certain distance from walls to operate efficiently
– The main blue light can be turned off but the power button and speed still light up regardless this does bring some light into the bedroom

only had 3 days but seems to work perfectly……I smoke (indoors ) and have 2 cats (litter bins indoors ) yesterday my neighbor popped in and said she could not smell either which I am very pleased about. I have it on auto and a few seconds after lighting a cigarette it starts to clean the air….so far would definitely recommend highly

 

Use it often, most days, for a bit. It’s not like walking into a fresh spring field but it clears the air noticeably and I find it will reduce some odours and the air feels better for my lungs. I give the room a blast after using the vacuum cleaner which needs sorting it produces a horrible musty smell. I feel confident knowing it will deal with mould spores and other nasties. Room is about 15′ x 15′ x 15′, it doesn’t take long to process the air in the room on setting 2 or 3. Maybe an hour or two on setting 1. I balance off the speed setting with how quickly I want the room cleared and the volume of the fan. It’s very loud on 3, 2 is okay for most daytime use, I can sleep with it on setting 1 but if I’m sleeping light I’d rather not. Not a problem as I’ll use it before or after sleep if needed. Bought a spare filter as I’ve had it a while now about 6 months I guess, but the replacement indicator hasn’t come on yet. Supposedly you should get 6 average months but based on the number of hours and my usage pattern I reckon my replacement will stay in the cupboard for a few more months yet! Maybe I’ll update this review when that happens. It’s well made, it’s a very good price, the only negative or neutral is the bright blue LED light on the top, I suppose the design looks better for having it as even when off it looks better than a blank white plastic top, but the light is rarely turned on it’s kind of pointless. Another thing is you can’t put it on a wall timer, but I’ve not found that an issue in practice. Great product!

 

This is a review after three months use of this air-purifier.

When it was first out of the box and set up it seemed to make an instant difference – or atleast the fresh, clean smell from the activated charcoal component of the filter certainly gives that impression on first use.

What this small unit is up against: Neighbours who chain-smoke 24/7 (As a neighbour, when you smoke in “your” home you also smoke in “mine” because smoke spreads out and diffuses into everything nearby – even through small cracks in closed and doubled-glazed windows – if you smoke please consider your poor neighbours who may actually be suffering terribly), mould and microbes from neighbours whose place leaks into mine, other nasty air pollutants, road fumes, occasional cooking, dust, ect.

The first thing to realise is that this unit can only really cover a small area – maybe a small to medium-sized room, so a home-wide air pollution problem is beyond it’s capacity. And as far as the size of each air-pollutant particle – some are simply too small for it to capture (I have previously used an ionizing air-purifier that is more effective overall as it claims to be able to capture air-pollution particles down to a smaller size through the air-ionizing part – but the amount however little, of ozone that it produced was enough to trigger airway inflammation and asthma, so unfortunately that model self-excluded itself).

PROS
It’s small and lightweight and doesn’t take up too much space – the size and shape of something like a small waste-paper basket.

It’s controls are very simple and intuitive and very responsive to simply touching your finger to the control-face.

It’s not too expensive (as long as it remains reasonably priced it’s worth it).

It’s quite quiet – but if you like absolute silence then it may distract you at full setting, on the other hand if you have noisy neighbours it may help to distract a little. I found it okay.

It seems to do something, which in a badly air-polluted home is still a help.

It has a blue night-light that has three settings: bright, dim, and off.

You can also switch off all of the function lights (if you need absolute darkness in the room), by simply pressing and holding the light-bulb button for three seconds, and then simply tap the light-bulb button to switch them back on if you want.

CONS
Although it’s not too expensive it’s still money and costs quite a lot.

The principle cost will be – as with all air purifiers – the replacement filters, and if the price climbs much then it doesn’t become worth it, so it’s price can easily make or break the deal.

The filters appear to lose their effectiveness in about a month here. I felt that at some point it wasn’t helping at all and maybe even adding to the problems due to the filter being “full” and I imagined that being saturated past a certain amount it might even harbour mould or something (but this thought would be true of all filters and makes and models that I know of), and although I ran it for about 77 days, I think that it was doing at least something worthwhile for only about a month, this could possibly be stretched to six weeks but that would really be it – after that the filter needs changing, at least I found it so *see attached photos where I compare the filter used for 77 days to a brand new one unpacked and ready to go, also note that the outer filter (not pictured) was removed and washed and dried several times over that time as dust built up on it’s surface turning it from black to grey*

Also the seal on the “old” filter seemed to shrink or something as I noticed a little gap between the outermost edge of the filter (which is ringed by some foam material to provide a snug-fit) and the inside-edge of the unit itself – I noticed it because of how snugly the new filter fit in as compared to how more easily the old filter came out – so perhaps the foam edge ringing the filters may shrink over time during use?

I sometimes noticed dust build-up all around it even when left on the top setting. However, I do not remember if this was also true before the month or six week mark.

It only covers a small area and it’s air-flow is not very powerful.

Overall this unit started out struggling valiantly but relatively soon became overwhelmed.
I have been unsure if I would purchase this again, but at this time I think that I would, but only just. Ideally I would have two or maybe even three spread out and change the filters about every month. This does quickly become an expensive prospect so there’s always that to think about as the bottom line.

 

This item is a life changer. I suffer with terrible cat allergies and awful sinus problems but this air purifier saved my life. My parents have a cat which is how we discovered I was allergic and nothing has ever helped when I stay there I get really really unwell. Every. Damn. Time.

We brought this on a recommendation from a friend and I was skeptical as I had tried so many different type of things to stop my constant asthma attacks, stuffy nose and constant eyes streaming, let alone sleeping. I used this the whole week I was at my parents and I slept all the way through the night, no waking up not being able to breathe, no allergic reactions and no getting sick when I arrived home.

I would definitely recommend to anyone who has any issues with allergies or asthma follow the instructions and breathe.

 

I never really wanted one of these but in late April I started an attic conversion. Even though I’d kind of sealed off my bedroom from the rest of the disaster, the dust got in and I sounded like I had a permanent cold. I’m really happy with it, but also realise this is the first air purifier I’ve ever used.

I got the first of these in May. Simple to set up. Remember to remove the packaging for the filter!!!! There are stickers to remind you, but the filter is installed but wrapped. You need to take it out, unwrap it and put it back in. A friend did not know this for his air purifier (not sure which brand) and ran it for months wrapped.

The next day after running it full blast I could already notice the difference. And it’s been running full blast ever since (it’s now August). I got a second one a month ago to run in the new upstairs. The building work is done but there’s still a level of dust in the air. This has kept it in check and not only made breathing easier but also reduced the amount of dusty surfaces.

They say the filters last for a year, but my first filter only lasted five months. But those were extreme conditions.

My one annoyance is that twisting off the bottom isn’t easy. It seems to get a little stuck. But you only do it rarely, so not a huge issue. It comes with a nightlight thing, but honestly never use it.

 

I’ve never owned an air purifier before so I have no point of comparison. I bought this due to frequent dust and dangerous pm10 particles covering Cyprus every spring. The dust normally makes the room feel stuffy and this product does help in a decently noticeable amount. It also helps with eliminating odours such as chemicals from home cleaning products which I’m sensitive to.

It has a high quality build with a nice touch screen panel. One side of the fans at the top seems to be weaker as indicated by another review but I don’t believe it affects its function so much. For the price, it’s a decent device, I’d recommend it over a 400 air purifier unless you have serious allergies.

 

I was sick and tired of my husband’s vaping smells all around the house. My bed smelled of coffee vape, my sofas smelled of coffee vape… I could go on. So I ordered this wee beastie. Now… I cannot say how well it clears the vaping smell, because pretty much as soon as I ordered it, my husband took to vaping out the door, so the house no longer has the vape fog circulating. His vaping has really dropped off, so I can thank this air purifier for halving his habit, with no obvious ill effect.

What I CAN say about this unit is that it is a very nice size, light enough to carry around. It’s very quiet, and the replacement filters seem reasonably priced and easy to source, compared to other units of a similar price. As to whether the air has been purified, I don’t have pets, children or allergies, and I no longer have the vaping issue. So you would need to look to other reviews to find out if it does the trick. But I will still use it during winter to keep the house fresh whilst the windows are not opened on a regular basis.

 

Update (May 14th): Levoit sent me a new unit and it’s working great so far. Excellent customer service!

Update (April 27th): The fan is now starting to make a weird rattling sound every few seconds. It sounds like something is coming loose. HIGHLY ANNOYING.

First thing’s first; I don’t have allergies so I can’t really comment on how effective it is in that area, but it works quite good for the purporse that I bought it for, which is to get rid of old house odor(s) and get rid of airborne dust. It performed beyond my expectations in these areas. The air is feels so much more fresh and it only took a day. It has also helped my stuffy nose as a bonus and my camera does not detect dust in the air anymore 🙂

Noise levels 1-2 are very acceptable when you’re in the room (I actually sleep next to it when it’s on 2, 1 is barely audible unless you are right next to it), 3 is too loud for me in the long run, but if I’m not in the room I turn it up to 3. Naturally when you turn the speed down, it’s cleaning effictevines will also go down. Make sure you lock it properly, otherwise it will be noisier. The unit does have a high pitch noise when turned off – So I just leave it on all the time. It’s actually a 3-in-1 device which serves as an air purifier (obviously) but also as a white noise machine and night light. The night light looks quite good and isn’t too bright unless you stare right into it. You can dim it and turn it off too of course.

I’m not sure why, but it seems to not blow air through half of the top airflow ring. I removed the filter and it blew through just fine. With the filter in, it sort of blocks one side. See video for details.

All in all though, I’m very happy with my purchase. I just wish it didn’t have that high pitch noise when turned off and that it actually blew air out properly (but it must be due to the filter). Oh and it comes with a UK plug AND an EU plug which is really nice! No more adapters!

Solid 4 stars from me. Used it a week and will continue doing so.

 

Excellent air filter. my daughter has dust mite allergy, used it for 4 hours before going to bed, and she slept throughout the night. i was skeptical but it definitely works. i would recommend to anybody who has allergies.

 

It is large but then should perform better than a small unit but it recommends a clearance space of several inches all around it. Ideally therefore needs its own pedestal in the middle of a room. Mine is on a bedside table so one side is perhaps too close to the wall than recommended. Also I loose space for my morning cuppa. Noise wise I liken it to white noise so focus on it and it will send you to sleep. My wife says she thinks it is always raining when she wakes it is not a throbbing fan noise rather a hiss swish. The air quality in the bedroom smells cleaner less dusty so for that we are glad and my wife is asthmatic so it must be a help.
