Levoit Air Purifier Reviews – Which Models Are Best?

Levoit air purifiers are gaining in popularity thanks to their effective air purification, ease of operation, and, most importantly, their budget-friendliness. Levoit offers air purifiers with these great features for rooms of all types and sizes, from the small desktop air purifier to medium-sized for the dorm room, to the large ones for the whole house. 

The highlight feature for all Levoit air purifiers is the 3-stage filtration process. A fine preliminary filter catches large particles like pet fur, fibers, and lint. The True HEPA filter catches smaller particles (up to 99.97% of airborne contaminants) as small as 0.3 microns, and the Activated Carbon filter absorbs pollutants, odors, and smoke. The result is clean, fresh air indoors. 

From our tests, the Levoit LV-H135 came out as the best air purifier, given its large area of coverage and high CADR value. It’s quiet, looks good, and works really well. 

Check out this quick comparison chart of the various Levoit Air Purifiers I reviewed below:

7 Best Levoit Air Purifiers

After 12 hours of testing all of the models, this is my list of the best ones based on the performance and price of each Levoit model.

1. Levoit LV-H135 Review – (Best For Bigger Rooms)

The Levoit LV-H135 has been certified by the CARB, FCC, and ETL to be safe and deliver on its promise of purifying the air in the room. In our review, it came out as the best air purifier from Levoit, given the large coverage area and high CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate).

With this air filter, you get a real-time air quality indicator from Very Good, Good, Moderate, and Bad, each with its color. Besides that, you get one of the quietest operations. On the lower side, the H135 operates at 26 decibels of sound, which is quieter than a whisper (30 dB) and the hum of a fridge (40 dB). On the higher side, it operates at 54 dB, which is still very quiet, especially during the day. 

The Auto Mode has the air purifier automatically adjusting the speed of its fans as per the air quality in the room. This mode not only saves on energy usage but is also highly efficient in cleaning the air indoors. At night, you can turn off the display to avoid disruptions to your sleep for those who can’t sleep with the lights on. 

The Good

• A high CADR rating means it quickly cleans the air indoors. 
• Large 463 sq ft coverage. 
• Low noise operations. 
• 3-stage filtration results in clean and fresh air. 
• Small dimensions and weight for its coverage. 
• 100% ozone free, meaning it’s not a pollutant. 

The Not-So-Good

• At full speed, the 54 decibels of noise can disturb some. 

For an air purifier with these features and low price points, it’s hard to find a direct competitor from other manufacturers.

2. Levoit LV-H134 Air Purifier Review – (Best for Large Living Rooms & Best Overall Purification)

The Levoit LV-H134 is the largest and one of the best air purifiers on the market. It has an impressive CADR, covers a large floor area, and packs some of the latest technologies in air purification. The most impressive of these technologies is laser technology which detects dirt particles in the air and reports it to the air purifier to adjust its operations accordingly. 

Levoit’s impressive Auto Mode ensures you always have the best air quality indoors by adjusting the fans to the quality of the air around you. The combination of these technologies enables the LV-H134 to purify the air up to 40% faster than air purifiers in the same class. 

Although our test unit has worked so well from the first day we set it up and turned it on, some customers report having received flimsy units that broke down after a few days. 

The Good

• The large coverage area of 710 square feet. 
• Auto Mode allows for automatic operation. 
• Low noise operations prevent distractions. 

The Not-So-Good

• Some units may be faulty, although few have reported this issue.

Buyers’ Guide: What to Look for When Buying Levoit Air Purifier

Although most Levoit air purifiers share some features, you still need to focus on some aspects to find the most suitable one for your situation: 

1. Size and Coverage 

The size of the air purifier determines the coverage area since a large unit will also cover a larger area. When choosing an air purifier, consider its size and how much floor space it covers. Most air purifiers will have the coverage area indicated on them. Although an air purifier can cover twice the indicated coverage area, it’ll take longer to clean the air. 

Also, consider where you will use the air purifier and match that with the size. If it’s a desk or bedroom one, you don’t need that much coverage and can go for the smaller one without compromising the air quality. 

2. Filtration Process

Levoit’s 3-Stage Filtration system is a great feature found in all their air purifiers, and it sets them apart from the rest of the market. The three filtration stages are as follows:

• Fine preliminary filter: this stage catches large airborne particles such as pet fur, fibers, lint, and others. 
• True HEPA filter: this stage captures up to 99.97% of all air particles to a size as small as 0.3 microns. 
• Activated Carbon filter: this stage of the filtration process absorbs odors, smoke, and other pollutants. 

All the air purifiers we reviewed from Levoit have the 3-Stage purification process as a common feature. 

3. CADR Value

CADR refers to the Clean Air Delivery Rate, which is the cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air with particles that an air filter has cleaned. CADR is the number of air particles removed from the air passing through an air purifier. 

For this one, the higher the rating, the better the purifier. If you have allergies to common pollutants like pollen, smoke, and pet dander, you should use an air purifier with a high CADR value.

4. Noise Level

Levoit air purifiers are among the quietest on the market, with none going beyond 57 decibels. However, you need to choose the noise level as per the purpose of the air purifier. If you’re getting one for the living room, you can safely choose one with a higher noise level as it’ll not wake you up at night, given the distance to the bedroom. However, if you’re buying an air purifier for the bedroom or desk at work, you need a quiet one to avoid distracting yourself or waking yourself up. 

5. Other features

Besides the aspects above, you should also consider the following when choosing a Levoit air purifier:

• Auto Mode: the auto mode in some Levoit air purifiers helps get the freshest air with the least input from the user. This is because it automatically adjusts the fans’ speed as per the air quality. The air purifier will crank up the fans in filthy air, increasing the purification rate and vice versa. This is convenient and saves on power usage to prevent the purifier from running all day.
• Wheels for Movement: on bigger Levoit units, you will find wheels that make it easier to move them around. 
• Indicator for Filter Replacement: the filter replacement feature is quite important since it eliminates guessing during the filter replacement process. When the filter needs replacing, the air filter will notify you saving lots of time. On average, a filter will last between 6 and 8 months before needing replacement. 

Many features are shared between Levoit air purifiers, with the ease of use, maintenance, and warranties all being the same. For example, you’ll get a warranty for two years on each unit.
