Outstanding video on testing all 6 different Levoit models. I must say, it was one of the most comprehensive and well-executed reviews I've seen in this area. You did an exceptional job of breaking down each model through a series of thorough and systematic tests, and spent a lot of time doing it too. Firstly, the particle testing was incredibly insightful. The use of advanced tools to measure the air quality before and after using each purifier provided clear and concrete data on their effectiveness for me. Your scientific approach gave a clear picture of how well each model performed in real-world conditions. I even took notes of the equipment you were using to purchase for myself. The features comparison was nice, you meticulously highlighted the unique features of each model or their lack of, making it easy to understand the strengths and potential drawbacks of each. This segment was particularly useful for anyone trying to decide which features are most important for their specific needs. Clearly it's having that 6th hour timer button...lol. The speed and noise testing using a decibel reader was another highlight. Understanding the operational noise levels can be crucial for those of us who value a quiet environment, highly appreciated. The total cost comparison over time, and including the costs of the filters and electricity, was incredibly helpful and of course ball-park figures. This long-term perspective on the investment required for each model was clearly insightful, making it easier for me to make an informed decision based on my budget and maintenance preferences. Finally, your ranking of the six models was a great conclusion. The rankings were well-justified, with clear explanations based on the performance data your collected throughout these exercises. It provided me a concise summary that helped me quickly understand which models stood out in various categories. Kudos Jia for such a well-done and informative review!
Great video. Core 600 is the way to go because you can set it to a quieter fan speed and get the same amount of clean air as the smaller ones at louder fan speeds. Plus, it’s not much more in price.
This is exactly the kind of data and testing I've been looking for! 1:53 "They just set it so they can barely hear it and just leave that 24/7" dawg got me 100%😭lmaoooo Fr though how do you only have 88 (now 89) subs??? Even if I wasn't shopping for a purifier I'd deadass watch this whole video.
Amazing quality and time was put into this review. Thank you so much for this detailed comparison! I actually bought the mini because I have a small bedroom but kept having second thoughts due to the lack of features. I then decided to check out the 200 level and noticed that Levoit has your video on its official product page. So I went to UA-cam to watch your full video. Your conclusion is basically how I feel about the mini vs the next level up with the 200. The biggest surprise is how expensive the filters cost for the mini. Unfortunately, the mini I bought is coming in the mail tomorrow. I probably won't open it and just return it when it arrives so I can get the 200.
It was a little crazy (due to the amount of work done) and valuable comparison, becouse I just bought 300S model before the allergy period in Ukraine. Thank you for lot of my smiles during that video. I hope your channel will have a lot of subscribers 🙌
Really nice one. I've been doing my own tests with the core 200s, core 300s, core 400s and the S200 Vital is on Its way. Some things to add: - Consider the size. Not just the filters are bigger, the units are huge. So not everybody has the space for It. I mean the 400S is like a huge tank compared to the 300S. I prefer the 300S because of that. It will look too dominant in most interiors - Power usage, you've missed the fact that the auto mode makes a huge difference vs the smaller devices without it. - Convenience, same as above; the auto mode Is what everybody wants - turning on when It's required, not because It can. Which means often almost 0 noticeable noise. - Max performance is misleading. Look at real-world usage. My 300S is already plenty to keep all the values low in a +- 50m3 space without rarely even going to Its low setting. Bigger is really not required. The 200S would be even enough, but again, you have to manually control It without the auto trigger. Which is pretty much useless, noisy and wasteful in real life. - Lifespan of the PM sensors are about 3 years, so 5 - 10 years isn't accurate If you expect It to work in auto mode. - S200 Vital: you can wash and re-use the pre-filter. Saves a bit on maintenance cost. You mentioned It but not when you considered the price I think. - The S200 Vital is +- twice as expensive here (€264) as the Core 300S (€145) btw, so that makes It quite a hard sell. Still have to test It, but I think I know the outcome. - Levoit doesn't just come with an App, but also has Google/Alexa integration or Home assistant - You were looking for the 500S, but you did miss the 100S vital in the comparison ;-) - Also, the amazon meter isn't probably the most accurate device to do these tests with. I've used a certified Temtop and noticed that without exception all of the PM2.5 measures from Levoit were quite off. To be clear, none of these filters are H13 HEPA filters. Over here they are still promoting with It and should be sued for it. They are not medical certified filters. Just HEPA. True HEPA sounds nice, but doesn't mean anything. So If you want the real deal you have to look at other Air Purifiers.
@@Oneinall None of the Leveit have real h13 hepa filters. They have their own filters. Which are hepa filters (just a common name for the type of filter), but not h13, which is a certified medical filter. Like Winix has for instance. For me I'd choose Leveit anyway because the filters test out fine and they have a good smart integration, also in home assistant, but without It I'd choose Winix Zero S without a doubt. Performance is better vs Leveit's best one at half the cost. (at least here in Europe) And Winix' filters are also more modular (you can replace hepa and carbon filters independently of each-other). Also comes with washable pre-filter, just like the Vital series. Also come wtih Plasmawave, although I'm not so sure that's advisable to turn on normally (small levels of Ozone), but If you have allergies or other conditions, another reason to pick Winix.
Thank you so much for your help and testing! I bought a germ guardian, and a vital 200s-p before watching your videos and I agree with your opinion I’m going to return it the noise was really high lol and I’m going to get a 600 and 400 instead. and get specific filters for smoke since I like to smoke by my window after work and like to keep the area clean. Thank you so much!
I have my core mini-p on 3 24/7 I might need to get a bigger one because even though it does pick up a decent amount of dust I feel like my room accumulates more than it filers for some reason. Not sure why since I barely open my windows and always have the ceiling fan on low as well.
I assume the Levoit (VeSync) app is the same across all models? If it's a non-smoking house and no pets, it would be great if the filters could somehow be inspected to see if they need replacing. Just based on calendar or hours used is not a good proxy. BTW, based on how well they clean, and filter-cost I was considering: Clorox Smart Air Purifier (Model 11011) Nuwave OxyPure ZERO (Model 47251) Morento (Model 3C9BD5-7EE30F-F3C / HY4866-WF ) Kenmore Smart PM4030 / 2300e Levoit 600S Coway AP-1512HH (No Wifi) Of the many Shark products ( HP302 , HC502 , HP201 , HP202), not sure which can meet the California clean-air requirements.. HP302, HC502? But non have a Wifi app option. The Coway 400S is a bit too expensive, and the cost of replacement filter for the Medify MA-112 is ridiculous!
wow just two days ago. I thought this was an old video. Ty for going through all that. I wanted a 400 and u proved it was the best one :D . I appeciate you taking all costs down the line in consideration!
Great Job in the reviews. But based on the size that would be great to Add. Dorm room . or house? What woudl you recommend. I can't imagind getting the 600. Abd do these include airborne germs. its not mentioned. thank you
i dont think airborn germs, my next video explains ionizers that might be effctive for that but they have the downside of creating ozone. 400s is great for dorm room, using it in my room currently
I just ordered the 600s for an Xmas present to myself and girlfriend for £200 (as new on amazon), but now I'm thinking due to size (i do not have a huge flat) I should get an as new 400s for £126 instead - especially since I personally do a lot soldering and 3d printing, which is helped by the charcoal. Hmm. Not sure. Help me decide habibi 😂 Also, I am not sure your air pressure setup tests pressure, because you used an airflow sensor, not a pressure sensor. Great setup and video though! ❤
Love this video! Our Health should always be on S-rank and you made a great tier list. But do you think It's better to have 4-5 minis rather than 1 core 600s?
I watched many reviews on air purifiers and some professionals are saying about how good is to have washable pre-filter since it catches big dust and prevents hepa filter from it. The more prefilter catches dust, more hepa will live, and this can save a more money in long run. If anyone uses core 400s/600s comment here, how often do you change filters.
I think the Core 300S has lower watt consumed compared to the 200S, ended up saving more cost? Because yours seems to be Core 300 only (not 300S). Please correct me if I am wrong! ^_^
Do your research - Levoit was challenged by Dyson to remove 'HEPA' term from their advertising because Levoit *actually* do not have HEPA filters for many of their models. They have 'HEPA Sleep Mode' which is the sleaziest marketing term I have seen but no actual True HEPA filter. After much research, WINIX 5500-2 is still the best based very extensive scientific testing.
Thank you for being it to my attention. No HEPA doesn’t mean it can’t capture viruses. MERV 13 and even lower grade filters can capture viruses. If we're just talking about capturing particles in general. My next video tests the Puroair which has a hepa 14 filter which is even better but from my testing, it didnt do that well. What matters for capturing particles is airflow and filtration efficiency. There's a great video on youtube where it looks like studies where merv filters might even be better than hepa filters.
this was manic and confusing sorry. i don't understand how you graded odor especially when this 20:29 is graded C for Odor but in another moment you call it best for odor. Totally confused. And I can't remember the topic but at one point you downplayed something then said "We'll give it an A anyway." So confusing
@@Jia-reviews I have one. I am allergic to ragweed. I don't really feel that this particular Everestair would help me. What do you think about the fact that they don't use H13 filters? Allergy sufferers should probably buy cleaners with an H13 filter, right? What cleaner would you recommend?
The vital 200s is the best value for the dollar. I almost always run it on the 2 highest speeds 24/7 I have 3 in my home (bedroom, kitchen, livingroom.)

yes pre filter helps a lot, hepa filters are meant for fine dust, if you let bigger dust clog it then you'll need to replace it more often
Thanks for the test
No problem!
I think the Core 300S has lower watt consumed compared to the 200S, ended up saving more cost?
Because yours seems to be Core 300 only (not 300S).
