Best Air Filters For Dog Hair (Jan 2023 Update)

I purchased this after buying the larger PlasmaPro 400S, which I am very happy with. The 200S is a much smaller and cheaper model but you do get what you pay for. Functionality: The 200S adds a night light mode, which I do not think I would use as I use this in my toddler's room and would want to limit blue light at night. I also plan on keeping this in sleep mode to minimize noise. Note, the 200S does NOT have an auto mode like the 400S. It also does not show air quality like the 400S. It does use the same VeSync app but the 200S has more limited features Noise: one of the best things about the 400S is that you can barely hear it, even on auto mode if you have good air quality. The 200S is noticeably louder even on low. It is quiet enough on sleep mode so I plan on keeping it on sleep mode (lowest setting). This is supplementing a Dyson HP01 that I already have in the room so I do not need higher fan speeds. Connectivity: setup was easy but I have had to reset the 200S 3 times in 24 hours due to the app reporting it as offline, even though the wifi indicator shows it is connected. I have had zero issues with the larger 400S. Overall, I will be keeping it as the price is not worth the hassle of a return for me but if you are expecting a smaller version of the 400S, the 200S may disappoint.TK33

This is my second Levoit air purifier that I bought just days after getting their H133. I was so amazed by the performance of the larger unit that I decided to get the 200S for my bedroom and it definitely lived up to my very high expectations of Levoit products. Let me highlight some of the strengths and weaknesses of the 200S. Design (9/10): This little thing is the perfect size to set on a nightstand, countertop or bookshelf. Unlike most air purifiers, it is actually nice to look at too and almost looks like more of a piece of modern art than a machine. The top of the device contains the control pad, and also serves as the vent where the clean air comes out of. The control pad also houses the night light, which creates a warm glow when turned on. The bottom of the unit houses the filter and has small holes around the entire machine to allow air to enter the filter. The only thing I wish it had is some small indentions or handles on the side to make it easier to carry. You definitely don't want to drop this thing. Noise (10/10): As you can see, I have this unit right on my nightstand next to my bed. On sleep mode, you don't even know the thing is on. On low, it is barely audible which is what I leave it on during the night. Medium and high are louder though but also that's to be expected. Performance (100/10): The rating is not a typo. Here is where this thing really shines. I use this purifier in conjunction with my H133 and my breathing at night has never been better. The purifier catches all kinds of dust and impurities that are easy to see when you take the filter out for regular cleaning. The air quality in my small, stuffy bedroom is now clean and since the fan is so effective, the air is no longer stuffy as well. Features (9/10): 3 fan speeds, a timer, a night light and smart home integration. This purifier can be controlled from anywhere and has almost all the features you need. The only thing I would recommend for future models is an auto mode similar to what they have on their larger purifiers, where the machine can automatically detect changes in air quality and turn the fan up or down depending. Ease of use/cleaning (10/10): Operating the unit is as simple as turning it on from the app or on the top of the unit itself. The timer feature can be set to 2 hour intervals on the device or any time you want on the app. Cleaning couldn't be easier as you just slip the filter out of the bottom weekly and either wipe or vacuum the dust off the surface of the filter and put it back in. Overall (9.8/10): Overall, this unit performs exactly as you'd expect a Levoit product to perform and that's a lot to say. The only points taken off are for the lack of an "auto mode" and also needing some handles/grip tape to make it easier to pick up and move around. It is well built for easy operation and the aesthetically pleasing design allows you to put it just about anywhere as it is not an eyesore to look at in the slightest. The machine itself works incredibly well in purifying the air to where I can now sleep well through the night and wake up breathing easily instead of having congestion. Couple good performance with an easy to use interface and simple cleaning instructions, and you get one high-quality air purifier that will meet all your needs.cmlin

This review is for the Levoit Core 200s smart true HEPA filter in grey. I have 3 of these filters (currently only using 2 – trying to find the optimum space for the 3rd). I have 5 cats and they SHED, a lot. I have always hated that their fur is constantly floating around my house, getting on my face, in my mouth, and just making my air feel “dirty”. I had been wanting to try air filters to see if it would help with the cat fur circulating nonstop and it definitely has! The air feels so much more clean, my place smells so much more fresh and the candle scents or air fresheners that I use seem to last so much longer. I also have asthma and have noticed some improvement in how the air quality has affected my breathing. I also love that these are “smart” and connect to an app via Bluetooth. I can control how the filter is working, schedule it for certain time frames, etc all from my phone. I personally keep it running 24/7 (it doesn’t release ozone so it’s safe for my kitties! – a huge plus for me and something that was necessary in an air filter). I also like that it has a sleep mode that is more quiet. I personally like the sound of the fan going and enjoy keeping mine on “high” while sleeping. I also like the night light feature! These are super affordable (mine were $90 at target) and well worth the cost! The filters seem to last quite some time, too.ashley .s

I am very happy with this air purifer. I purchased it becasue we got a kitten and my husband is allergic to cats. My husband is doing well with the cat and the air purifer does change color to indicate more or less air in need of purification and when I cook or light a candle it jumps to a higher mode. When I clean the pet filter I can see all the dust and gunk it has caught up. Filters are reasonably priced and the unit is quiet and easy to clean. I would recommend over extremely pricey units they have in the market space.Anonymous

The Winix HR900 cleans the air fast, it's easy to use and move around. Sylvane delivered the order quickly and the box and unit were in good condition. The purifier is very quiet on low and has an auto mode that changes a lot. A good unit, great to use if you have allergies.Ben

Works great!!! My wife usually wakes up sneezing or coughing…we think she is allergic to our cats. Since we have been using the Winex HR-900 air purifier, she hasn't sneezed or coughed or had sniffles. The true test was when our basement flooded and after the water was removed, the entire basement had a musty odor. I brought the Winex Air Purifier in the room and 24 hours later the smell was gone!! I Highly Recommend this brand and model!!!cindylouc2006

It’s not exactly what I expected. Firstly I have no idea if it’s actually doing what it’s meant to. There is one button that you have to press multiple times to choose different functions. At first I couldn’t tell if I’d pressed it right, or even what mode it was on. I finally got it onto auto. There is no LED display that tells you the air quality, it’s a small light at the front that is either blue, amber or red. As soon as we turned it on the light has been blue the whole time, which confused me because I have really bad allergies at the moment, so presumed our air must be bad. We also live in a 1940’s apartment that has steam that comes up through the radiators that you can’t dust, which always makes my allergies worse. So I have no idea if the unit is working or not, or how good my air is. After I did some cooking in the kitchen the light changed to amber for the first time, and then went back to blue. As well as all that we have a dog that sheds a lot, so I expected there to be a lot of dust and dander in the air. Does that affect the rating?! I don’t know! Another thing is that the instructions tell you to keep doors and windows closed to the room the unit is in. This is impossible in our building as the only way we can regulate the temperature of the apartment is to open the windows. We have no control over our heating, it’s on when it’s on and it gets hot. We have to open the window, even on cool days to cool the apartment down to a manageable temperature. Even with the window open and is living next to busy roads with lots of cars, the light still stayed blue. So who knows. I will say the unit looks nice and it’s pretty much silent when it’s on auto and the light is blue. Even when it kicked up a little it still was pretty silent. It’s way quieter then our a/c unit. I want to get another unit for the bedroom, but I don’t know whether to get a different brand that has more functions. I think I’d prefer an app where I can see what’s going on with my air quality, otherwise how do I know I’ve not just paid $300 for a fancy piece of plastic?!BeccaM

I purchased the Pure 211+Auto about a month ago after researching air purifiers reviews. We live in East Texas, where we have beautiful spring blooms, but horrible pollen problems almost year round, especially in the spring. Since using Blueair Pure+Auto, our allergies are significantly reduced this spring. I particularly like that this model automatically adjusts to the amount of particulate matter in the air. When I initially set it up and turned it on, it ran on a more robust speed with the yellow indicator showing, but since then it has been on a low quiet setting with the blue indicator on. The purifier is very quiet; we don’t even notice it in the at night during sleep hours. I had bought a purifier years ago, but it wasn’t that efficient and was loud, like a blower dryer on low setting. Another aspect that I like about this purifier is that it is made for a specific size room, so you’re not buying a model that is over or under the air space capacity that can happen with a “one-size fits all” purifier. So glad I purchased this purifier.Jwhy

We have the purifier about a week and will look to update this review after we have it a while. I have no instruments to measure how well the air is being cleaned but I'll assume for now it's doing its job. I do like the way it draws air in from all sides to filter the air. I run the unit in my bedroom and keep the door closed so that air in the bedroom remains clean. The concern is when I enter the room, there is a strange smell that I've never experienced before. Once in the room I adjust to the smell and don't notice it while I'm in the room. I can only hope it is nothing to worry about. The 2nd item of concern is noise. When compared to another unit I own from another manufacturer, this machine is significantly noisier especially at speeds above the low setting. When set to Auto, I've never experienced the machine changing speeds – it always runs at a low speed making me question whether the auto feature actually works. I would also add that it would have been nice to have a display that shows you the speed, level of air cleanliness, and condition of the filter. You must press the button on top anywhere from 1 to 5 times to select the speed or shut it down. Not too happy about that.Lenus

My husband was told by his doctor to get a hepa air purifier for the bedroom to help with his allergies. We researched our options and decided on the BreatheSmart Flex for two reasons. A larger Alen air purifier was chosen the best unit by Consumer Reports for 2022 and we wanted to buy from a company whose main product was air purifiers not toaster ovens or coffee pots. Our purifier arrived within a week of purchase. It was packaged with engineering precision (think Apple product.) I love the way it looks and it was very easy to set up. We installed the filter and plugged it in. The flex unit has 4 speeds. We leave it on 24/7 usually at speed 2 or 3. During the night we turn it to speed 1 and it is so quiet I have gotten out of bed to see if it is working. Does it work? My husband has been sleeping better, less sneezing and nose blowing. But the real pollen season for our area is just getting started, so we are cautiously optimistic. I have noticed that the kitchen odors we sometimes smelled in our second floor bedroom are nonexistent. Finally, I like the replacement filter subscription plan. We signed up when we registered our air purifier. It makes sense to use an Alen filter in our unit because it's only going to work as well as the filter you use.Peggy R.

Wow! I am so impressed with our new Alen Flex units, and I highly recommend them to anyone on the fence. Everything about them feels high quality, and they're clearly very thoughtfully designed, including the thoughtful packaging they ship in (the shipping boxes just flip open, there was nothing to wrestle and tug with!). They were so easy install and I appreciate the customizable filter types for each room's needs. We originally purchased an Alen Fit50 years ago, and have been pleased with it, but I have to say the Flex is our new favorite. It has a slimmer profile, and on its lowest setting, it's inaudible! I have to put my hand above it to feel the air flow to make sure it's actually on, because I truly can't hear it! I'm definitely feeling the improvement in our air, and have peace of mind knowing these babies are doing their job. Subscribing to the filters means I'll never miss a beat. I love the customizable faux wood panels for the front, too; it makes them blend in with our home's furniture so much better. Thank you, Alen, you've knocked it out of the park!!!Jennifer H.

We bought the Breathesmart 75i to deal with occasional smoke while operating a woodstove in our open concept living room/dining room/kitchen. But I was shocked when the color ring air quality indicator shifted from blue (best) to purple (worst) when I heated up a tablespoon or so of olive oil to sauté onions for a recipe. Same thing happened while I was microwaving bacon. In both of these events the food was not overheated/overcooked. Until we got our Breathesmart 75i, I hadn't fully understood how bad the indoor air quality gets from simple cooking. My lungs knew though. Oily smells like these will often trigger my lungs to feel tight. We've had the air purifier a few weeks now, and I have not noticed any asthma triggers from cooking. I haven't had to open the storm door to let in fresh air, which was my go to when I felt my lungs reacting to volatilized oils. The unit responds quickly and quietly in auto mode. Amazingly quiet; you feel compelled to use your hand to verify that the unit is actually moving airat low speeds. Also fairly quiet at the highest fan speed. I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and I didn't like the sort of plastic smell from the unit during the first week or 2. But that smell is gone now. My husband never noticed that smell, so it depends on your olfactory system. We love our Alen (air purifier nickname christened in homage to the SNL Bill Hader skit by the same name).Theresa O.

Overall, I will be keeping it as the price is not worth the hassle of a return for me but if you are expecting a smaller version of the 400S, the 200S may disappoint.TK33

I personally keep it running 24/7 (it doesn’t release ozone so it’s safe for my kitties! – a huge plus for me and something that was necessary in an air filter). I also like that it has a sleep mode that is more quiet. I personally like the sound of the fan going and enjoy keeping mine on “high” while sleeping. I also like the night light feature! These are super affordable (mine were $90 at target) and well worth the cost! The filters seem to last quite some time, too.ashley .s

I purchased this after buying the larger PlasmaPro 400S, which I am very happy with. The 200S is a much smaller and cheaper model but you do get what you pay for. Functionality: The 200S adds a night light mode, which I do not think I would use as I use this in my toddler's room and would want to limit blue light at night. I also plan on keeping this in sleep mode to minimize noise. Note, the 200S does NOT have an auto mode like the 400S. It also does not show air quality like the 400S. It does use the same VeSync app but the 200S has more limited features Noise: one of the best things about the 400S is that you can barely hear it, even on auto mode if you have good air quality. The 200S is noticeably louder even on low. It is quiet enough on sleep mode so I plan on keeping it on sleep mode (lowest setting). This is supplementing a Dyson HP01 that I already have in the room so I do not need higher fan speeds. Connectivity: setup was easy but I have had to reset the 200S 3 times in 24 hours due to the app reporting it as offline, even though the wifi indicator shows it is connected. I have had zero issues with the larger 400S. Overall, I will be keeping it as the price is not worth the hassle of a return for me but if you are expecting a smaller version of the 400S, the 200S may disappoint.TK33

This is my second Levoit air purifier that I bought just days after getting their H133. I was so amazed by the performance of the larger unit that I decided to get the 200S for my bedroom and it definitely lived up to my very high expectations of Levoit products. Let me highlight some of the strengths and weaknesses of the 200S. Design (9/10): This little thing is the perfect size to set on a nightstand, countertop or bookshelf. Unlike most air purifiers, it is actually nice to look at too and almost looks like more of a piece of modern art than a machine. The top of the device contains the control pad, and also serves as the vent where the clean air comes out of. The control pad also houses the night light, which creates a warm glow when turned on. The bottom of the unit houses the filter and has small holes around the entire machine to allow air to enter the filter. The only thing I wish it had is some small indentions or handles on the side to make it easier to carry. You definitely don't want to drop this thing. Noise (10/10): As you can see, I have this unit right on my nightstand next to my bed. On sleep mode, you don't even know the thing is on. On low, it is barely audible which is what I leave it on during the night. Medium and high are louder though but also that's to be expected. Performance (100/10): The rating is not a typo. Here is where this thing really shines. I use this purifier in conjunction with my H133 and my breathing at night has never been better. The purifier catches all kinds of dust and impurities that are easy to see when you take the filter out for regular cleaning. The air quality in my small, stuffy bedroom is now clean and since the fan is so effective, the air is no longer stuffy as well. Features (9/10): 3 fan speeds, a timer, a night light and smart home integration. This purifier can be controlled from anywhere and has almost all the features you need. The only thing I would recommend for future models is an auto mode similar to what they have on their larger purifiers, where the machine can automatically detect changes in air quality and turn the fan up or down depending. Ease of use/cleaning (10/10): Operating the unit is as simple as turning it on from the app or on the top of the unit itself. The timer feature can be set to 2 hour intervals on the device or any time you want on the app. Cleaning couldn't be easier as you just slip the filter out of the bottom weekly and either wipe or vacuum the dust off the surface of the filter and put it back in. Overall (9.8/10): Overall, this unit performs exactly as you'd expect a Levoit product to perform and that's a lot to say. The only points taken off are for the lack of an "auto mode" and also needing some handles/grip tape to make it easier to pick up and move around. It is well built for easy operation and the aesthetically pleasing design allows you to put it just about anywhere as it is not an eyesore to look at in the slightest. The machine itself works incredibly well in purifying the air to where I can now sleep well through the night and wake up breathing easily instead of having congestion. Couple good performance with an easy to use interface and simple cleaning instructions, and you get one high-quality air purifier that will meet all your needs.cmlin

This review is for the Levoit Core 200s smart true HEPA filter in grey. I have 3 of these filters (currently only using 2 – trying to find the optimum space for the 3rd). I have 5 cats and they SHED, a lot. I have always hated that their fur is constantly floating around my house, getting on my face, in my mouth, and just making my air feel “dirty”. I had been wanting to try air filters to see if it would help with the cat fur circulating nonstop and it definitely has! The air feels so much more clean, my place smells so much more fresh and the candle scents or air fresheners that I use seem to last so much longer. I also have asthma and have noticed some improvement in how the air quality has affected my breathing. I also love that these are “smart” and connect to an app via Bluetooth. I can control how the filter is working, schedule it for certain time frames, etc all from my phone. I personally keep it running 24/7 (it doesn’t release ozone so it’s safe for my kitties! – a huge plus for me and something that was necessary in an air filter). I also like that it has a sleep mode that is more quiet. I personally like the sound of the fan going and enjoy keeping mine on “high” while sleeping. I also like the night light feature!

Actually I ordered 2 of these and just got them today. No issues that I noticed. Fast shipping, no damage and everything works fine. Comes with the True Hepa filter and washable carbon filter. Directions say these should last about a year, depending on environment. It has 3 speeds for auto mode, a turbo speed mode, and sleep mode. Turbo mode and sleep mode cant be used in auto mode. To give you an idea of sound at 10 feet away: Auto Speed 1 = Quiet! I can hear the refrigerator in the kitchen 20 feet away is louder. Auto Speed 2 = About the same as standing in front of the refrigerator. Auto Speed 3 = About the same as hearing a small space heater on medium or high. Turbo Speed Mode = About the same as a bedroom window air conditioner maybe on medium? I can feel the air sucking past the back of my head towards the unit sitting 10 feet away. It feels like air conditioning. Sleep Mode = Barely hear it 5 feet away if you're trying to hear it. I read many great reviews on this particular model (5500-2) and YouTube reviews. Hope this helps you.Mike

This purifier definitely packs some power! On full blast it is pretty loud, can be heard from across the house, but not so bad that you can’t sleep in the same room with it. Night mode and lower modes are great, really limit sound. There are two big gaps at the sides of the cover which allows it to pull in dust balls, carpet fibers, stray scraps of toilet paper from a shoe, or any other random larger thing that might get drug into the room. It caught me off guard the first time I cleaned the filter, as most filters are pretty securely tightened and only pull in dust and particles that can fit through the vented covers. I added a photo of the large side openings with this review, although I just cleaned my filters yesterday. I actually don’t mind if it pulls hair and other random items at the bottom, since obviously the vacuum missed them. The re-washable filters are easy to spray off into the sink and scrub, and you can definitely see that it is pulling dust and such out of the air. I’m not sure if the plasma wave actually works or not, but in general it seems to be pulling a lot out of the air, so it is for sure working to some effect! Weird sidenote, when I first installed this item I realized that the remote to my Hitachi Roku TV also works on this air purifier. Anytime I try to turn the volume up on the TV it would crank up the purifier to full blast. This competed with the sound increase of course, but then I realized the exit button reduced the power of it. Weird. The air purifier does come with its own remote, so it wouldn’t be impossible to turn it back to whatever setting you wanted from its own remote, just a strange thing to have to do. I ended up moving the purifier into my bedroom to stop the issue for now. Technology, what do you do.Kay

Seems like it's working, mostly… I've been using it for several weeks and do not use the ion technology. What's good: I like that you have to option to NOT use the ion technology. There are some brands that don't have it at all and some that have it but you can't turn it off. The filter types and quality are good on this model, there is a washable carbon filter that extends the life of the filter and the required filter changes happen less often than some other brands and need to. Some need to be changed every 3 months. Although these filters are a little pricy, they not as expensive as many others, and not changed as often so I opted to go with this Winix. My allergies are better-not 100% but I do leave the window open a bit. It's quiet. I can say it's gotten a bit louder in the last few weeks but still quiet and doesn't disturb my sleep at all. It detects/goes red if I spray alcohol or lysol even in the next room with the door closed. The not so good: I've used ammonia and bleach near it and it didn't detect it at all. I've put it near the kitchen while cooking and sometimes it detects things and sometimes it doesn't and some odors can linger longer than I thought they should (onions) but the odors do seem to go away. Since this is my first air purifier, I don't have anything to compare it to but I can say that it does help, but it's not as dramatic a change as I thought it would be.maureen

I'm a lifelong allergy sufferer. I tend to roll with the punches and each season brings about their own ailments, but I've transitioned into Winter being the worst. I usually load up on the usual suspects (musinex, corticosteroids, saline rinses, allergy pills), but I will still develop a classic runny nose, bad sinuses and the dreaded post nasal drip and tickle in my throat. Being outside does help but only so much. This Winter has kicked it up a notch and I'm not alone as my fiance is also feeling it for the first time which makes our household a coughing, sneezing mess. We did all the ground work including steam cleaning head to toe, blower and ductwork cleaning and certification and making sure to use high grade filters, but those particulates still seem to get the best of us in the Winter and my throat is in a constant case of tickle/cough. After reading numerous reviews, this unit seemed to provide the best price:performance ratio so I picked one up to give it a try. The instructions and usage are straight forward. 3 HEPA filters and a large odor/particulate filter that sits on top of them with a massive intake fan that throws out a massive amount of air depending on setting. The unit has three settings (low, med, high) along with a "turbo" setting when you want to circulate a room as quick as possible. I work from home, so I decided to set the unit up in my computer/office area, shut the door and set it to turbo. Turbo is very loud, but that is to be expected. I had it running for 20-30 minutes before I sat down to work. I had grown so accustomed to hacking and sneezing in my office while working that it took me almost an hour to realize I hadn't hacked or sneezed not once. Another hour passed and, nope, no hacking or sneezing. As a test, I took some of my work and laptop to my living room and worked from there and within 10-20 minutes my old nemesis returned and I was once again hacking and sneezing. I opted to move the unit to the living room and let it run all day and when my fiance got home her much less than mine hacking and sneezing was basically non-existent. We both agreed the air smelled much cleaner and fresher, which was a plus, but mainly the greatly reduced (me) and effectively neutralized (her) hacking and sneezing was the big winner here. Another plus is it is fairly light weight and has two handle grooves on each side for easy transport to move it room to room; but I am so impressed with this thing, I will be buying another just for my office that I can leave on low/med and one for the main living room. On low, this thing is near in-audible. Medium you can hear it but it isn't bad. High is definitely present and accounted for and Turbo is clearly short for Turbo Jet. Be warned it is not small nor compact so it will be noticeable. The power cord has decent length allowing it to be placed as desired in most cases. With all the above being said, will this be a miracle cure for everyone? No, of course not. Worst case scenario, you help clean and purify your air even if you continue to suffer in the same or other aspects. Best case, it is able address much (if not all) of your allergy, dust, mold, spore, particulate problems and help you breathe better and reduce symptoms (which it has done for myself and my fiance). Two Thumbs up.Electrosoft

Very quiet on the lowest setting. Not too bad on the 2nd setting. Fairly loud on the highest setting. Very loud on turbo. Easy to operate and understand. When you get it and go to set up be careful opening the cover for the filters. Do not pull!! You push on each side to remove the cover. If you pull you will break the cover. Luckily I had read about this before I got it. The design of the outside is ok but may not be too everyones liking. I personally like the design. Know that the unit is pretty large at 22 inches tall x 18.5 inches wide.Beverly

I like it. We bought it to use it in our large bedroom during high pollen season. While preparing for bed we turn it on high to filter the room and then turn it to low to maintain filtered air. At low it hums quietly – so like white noise. We wake up without allergy issues. The filters are quite large – the entire front of the unit. Not sure yet cost of replacing filters so…..Paul

I bought a Levoit 400S and 2 smaller Winix units at Home Depot. The Levoit 400S is excellent and the controls and features are nice. I like the particulate counter and the easy to understand air quality ring indicators. The unit is very quiet at low speeds but still moves a good amount of air. Also excels at removing cooking odors. The 2 Winix units I was not so pleased with. They were noisier and one was vibrating excessively; from a mechanical viewpoint that is a bad sign. So I replaced both Winix with the Levoit 400S, now I have 3 and I am very pleased. Of course the local Home Depot having the 400S on sale for $99.99 also helped. I researched the Levoit brand and was sold on all of the positive reviews and awards. This all started with me viewing the Hunter HP450 on HSN; I feel like I got a much better product in the form of the Levoit 400S. I don’t mind the bigger size 400S for the bedrooms they are so good and quiet they are worth making room for. But of corse if that is an issue Levoit has a smaller unit that I am sure is just as excellent.Old Salty

I have a Core 400S in a bedroom no bigger than 215sq/ft. According to the US EPA on air quality. 0-15µg/m³ is consider "Very Good/Good" But the unit will allow the µg/m³ to get as high as 40µg/m³ before going to Fan Speed 1. Even when it is in Fan Speed 1, it can never get it down, but maintain within that range. They need to fix or reprogram their logic and keep the fan up high enough to bring the level down to >15µg/m³. I have an Airthings View Plus that monitor the same room (across the room from the air purifier) to cross check. It is only in Fan Speed 3 or Turbo where it can keep the PM2.5 level under 15µg/m³. In my particular room.Johnny

Our fur animals (a friendly feline and fur baby pup) are part of our family, however, we also have friends/family over frequently simply to visit or spend a few days with us. We were looking for something that would help our friends and family who have sensitive allergens to not experience any adverse reactions to our fur animals when visiting us and/or spending the evening with us. We found that with the Levoit Pet Care True HEPA Air Purifier our fur animals, friends, and family can harmoniously co-exist with no adverse reactions! We were so elated when we got this for multiple reasons. When we have visitors, we move the air purifier in the guest bedroom, and our guests have commented on, first, how quiet it is, and secondly, what an amazing night of sleep they've experienced. Love the 3-fan speeds that tackles any odors we might have in our home. Its size makes it convenient to "hide" yet be effective in any room, yet it circulates air in the entire room. I had never heard of the "QuietKEAP" technology before, but after doing research on it, I can clearly see how it makes this Levoit Pet Care True HEPA Air Purifier one of the best by not just extending the life of my product but also (and most importantly) reducing noise when it runs. We love the fresh air that this Levoit Air Purifer has brought to our home and look forward to its continued use.LSch

I recently moved into my first apartment, and my neighbors (even though it’s not allowed) would smoke in their apartment. The smell would come through my vents and made EVERYTHING smell smokey. My clothes smelled, my furniture, the whole (1bd) place just reeked. My amazing mother looked at every purifier out there and this one had the best results and reviews! She soon ordered it for me, and now my apartment actually smells like my scentsy, my clothes smell clean, my furniture is “frebreezy” for longer! I absolutely love it! This has been the best purchase for my apartment since I started planning! This is most definitely not a necessity, but I would say the only down side is not being able to set it for a routine or be able to turn it off or on without going to it and tapping the top. I have terrible memory and will forget to turn it on before I leave for work so that it runs during the day while I’m gone, or I’ll forget to turn it on before I go to bed. I set a reminder on my phone for it though, heheParks.22

I suffer from severe allergies 365 days a year. I placed my purifier in my bedroom and set it for 8 hrs when I go to sleep. I have been using it for about a month and have noticed a dramatic difference in my breathing in the morning. I don't wake up full of congestion or sneezing. I have noticed when I'm at my office my allergies tend to act up, so I will be ordering one for my office soon. I highly recommend this product for other allergy sufferers.ATXZ

The display lights turn back on mysteriously later after I turn them off! I have tried unplugging the air purifier and then plug it back in hoping this resolves the issue, but the lights once again turn back on later after I turn them off. Your air purifiers are not cheap! This should not happen when pay this much in hopes that you are getting a good quality product! I either want my money back or an air purifier that actually works like it is intended to work! I have bought a lot of your air purifiers and filters and have paid you well! I expect a timely response in hopes that your business likes happy customers!Dennis G.

We live in Colorado and had an enormous historic wildfire in our county that filled our home with visible heavy smoke. At one point the smoke alarm went off. We were all coughing and had sore throats and burning eyes, and it hurt to breathe. The Alen Air Purifier filter we chose was designed for smoke and arrived almost immediately. The air was visibly better within hours after we set it up. The next morning it was raining ashes outside with extreme smoke and health warnings, but we had no symptoms and when indoors couldn’t even tell that there was smoke outside. We have run it continuously since it arrived. The machine is powerful and works hard, the indicator goes to red for awhile anytime the door is opened, but goes back to blue quickly. I don’t mind the noise it makes, even while sleeping. My daughter has the same purifier with the allergy filter for her apartment and hasn’t had an asthma attack since she got it. I was amazed when she changed the filter the first time how much the old filter had removed from the air, as it had a thick layer of dust and particles. I am very impressed with this purifier and am very grateful it arrived so quickly during this crisis. I know it protected our health.Heather W.

We built a cabin and finished the interior walls with knotty pine, not realizing that my husband was allergic to wood sawdust and particulates. We bought our Alen FIT 50 with the hope it would clean the air. THE ALEN EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS, we ran it for several hours before entering the cabin and WOW, what a difference. My husband spent the week asthma-free and can now enjoy our cabin. We would highly recommend this product for anyone suffering from airborne allergens.Suzanne G.

I don’t normally leave reviews but I felt like this is a great purchase. I’ve bought a few small purifiers in the past for my bathroom where I also keep my cat litter box, none seemed to work very well or I couldn’t find filters after a short time of using them. This Levoit works great! My son accidentally unplugged it the other day and I could tell the difference it makes when it’s running or off for a short time. I always read reviews when I’m buying something so I figured I should recommend this product. It’s compact, simple (not an eye sore), and it works!! I’ve been able to get filters through Bed Bath & Beyond so far.Acooney

I have a big purifier at home and it works amazing! I took this one to work cause it fits perfectly on my desk. I don’t have my own office where I’m the only person in the room so I was stoked to be able to get this desktop one. It works so well! I sit right by a window that faces our parking lot and diesel trucks pull up all the time and it used to linger in the office if my window is open but not anymore with this desktop purifier. Do yourself a favor and get one of these for your desk! You won’t regret it I promise!Ashbury707

This air purifier is very nice. It has three stage filtration. It has three fan speeds. It reduces odor and fumes. It traps pollutants and allergens. It cleans air 161ft in room. It has aromatherapy pads so you can put your favorite essential oils in. It is compact and portable. It is small enough that it can fit on your desktop. Overall this hepa air purifier is wonderful to have!!Gjohnson12

I am really impressed with all aspects of this air purifier, from its modern design to its superior efficacy in delivering pristine quality air throughout my living room! The visual appearance of this air purifier is attractive, smooth and sleek, far above some air purifier I have used in the past. The features of this product are intuitive and well thought out with digital and LED displays to indicate the status of this purifier at all times. This is really helpful for letting me know the air quality in my room. Additionally, this unit is very quiet when it operates on its lowest fan speed, generating a unique, melodic sound as opposed to a monotonous, mechanical fan noise typical of most other brands. I can barely notice the purifier being on most times! Ultimately, this air purifier has helped me breathe easier in my room full of pets and energetic children. I am allergic to dust and pollens and always needed purifiers to help with providing clean air. I saw a significant improvement in the air quality and I can put my allergy medication away for now. Overall, the form factor and packaging is reason for an air filter of this size, and overall, just works flawlessly. I highly recommend this product to others, especially those with seasonal allergies.jzhang99

We bought two LV-H133s. Both began to develop an increasingly loud, permanent screeching/whining sound, like a bad motor failing and grinding its gears, by six months into ownership. Thirteen months after purchase, one unit can no longer be run on High due to the noise, and the other unit we threw away and replaced with a Coway AP-1512hh. We intend to do the same with the second Levoit unit as soon as we can. We cleaned the units, vacuumed the pre filters, replaced the filters every four months. Nothing worked. You simply cannot run the Levoit LV-H133 on High for an extended period of time without the motor breaking down. We believe this is why there is only a one-year warranty on the Levoit motors. Other manufactures have longer warranties, because they use higher-quality motors. (The Coway unit we bought has a three-year motor warranty.) (It's also worth nothing that in one year's time the price of this Levoit model went up almost 50%.) We will never, ever buy another Levoit product again.PermanentlyFormerOwner

I got the Levoit Tower True HEPA Air purifier through the tryit sampling community . This machine was awesome i like how quiet it is when it runs . That all i had to do was remove the plastic off the machine and the filter and it was ready to use. Having clean Air is important in my home with my family having allergy issues . This machine puts your mind at comfort knowing your making your home a better breathing environment for me and my family . I would def recommend this machine to anyone who would like the air in their home to be a better quality. I also love the way you can change the modes and turn this machine on and off.Betty Smash

I purchased this after buying the larger PlasmaPro 400S, which I am very happy with. The 200S is a much smaller and cheaper model but you do get what you pay for. Functionality: The 200S adds a night light mode, which I do not think I would use as I use this in my toddler's room and would want to limit blue light at night. I also plan on keeping this in sleep mode to minimize noise. Note, the 200S does NOT have an auto mode like the 400S. It also does not show air quality like the 400S. It does use the same VeSync app but the 200S has more limited features Noise: one of the best things about the 400S is that you can barely hear it, even on auto mode if you have good air quality. The 200S is noticeably louder even on low. It is quiet enough on sleep mode so I plan on keeping it on sleep mode (lowest setting). This is supplementing a Dyson HP01 that I already have in the room so I do not need higher fan speeds. Connectivity: setup was easy but I have had to reset the 200S 3 times in 24 hours due to the app reporting it as offline, even though the wifi indicator shows it is connected. I have had zero issues with the larger 400S. Overall, I will be keeping it as the price is not worth the hassle of a return for me but if you are expecting a smaller version of the 400S, the 200S may disappoint.TK33

This is my second Levoit air purifier that I bought just days after getting their H133. I was so amazed by the performance of the larger unit that I decided to get the 200S for my bedroom and it definitely lived up to my very high expectations of Levoit products. Let me highlight some of the strengths and weaknesses of the 200S. Design (9/10): This little thing is the perfect size to set on a nightstand, countertop or bookshelf. Unlike most air purifiers, it is actually nice to look at too and almost looks like more of a piece of modern art than a machine. The top of the device contains the control pad, and also serves as the vent where the clean air comes out of. The control pad also houses the night light, which creates a warm glow when turned on. The bottom of the unit houses the filter and has small holes around the entire machine to allow air to enter the filter. The only thing I wish it had is some small indentions or handles on the side to make it easier to carry. You definitely don't want to drop this thing. Noise (10/10): As you can see, I have this unit right on my nightstand next to my bed. On sleep mode, you don't even know the thing is on. On low, it is barely audible which is what I leave it on during the night. Medium and high are louder though but also that's to be expected. Performance (100/10): The rating is not a typo. Here is where this thing really shines. I use this purifier in conjunction with my H133 and my breathing at night has never been better. The purifier catches all kinds of dust and impurities that are easy to see when you take the filter out for regular cleaning. The air quality in my small, stuffy bedroom is now clean and since the fan is so effective, the air is no longer stuffy as well. Features (9/10): 3 fan speeds, a timer, a night light and smart home integration. This purifier can be controlled from anywhere and has almost all the features you need. The only thing I would recommend for future models is an auto mode similar to what they have on their larger purifiers, where the machine can automatically detect changes in air quality and turn the fan up or down depending. Ease of use/cleaning (10/10): Operating the unit is as simple as turning it on from the app or on the top of the unit itself. The timer feature can be set to 2 hour intervals on the device or any time you want on the app. Cleaning couldn't be easier as you just slip the filter out of the bottom weekly and either wipe or vacuum the dust off the surface of the filter and put it back in. Overall (9.8/10): Overall, this unit performs exactly as you'd expect a Levoit product to perform and that's a lot to say. The only points taken off are for the lack of an "auto mode" and also needing some handles/grip tape to make it easier to pick up and move around. It is well built for easy operation and the aesthetically pleasing design allows you to put it just about anywhere as it is not an eyesore to look at in the slightest. The machine itself works incredibly well in purifying the air to where I can now sleep well through the night and wake up breathing easily instead of having congestion. Couple good performance with an easy to use interface and simple cleaning instructions, and you get one high-quality air purifier that will meet all your needs.cmlin

This review is for the Levoit Core 200s smart true HEPA filter in grey. I have 3 of these filters (currently only using 2 – trying to find the optimum space for the 3rd). I have 5 cats and they SHED, a lot. I have always hated that their fur is constantly floating around my house, getting on my face, in my mouth, and just making my air feel “dirty”. I had been wanting to try air filters to see if it would help with the cat fur circulating nonstop and it definitely has! The air feels so much more clean, my place smells so much more fresh and the candle scents or air fresheners that I use seem to last so much longer. I also have asthma and have noticed some improvement in how the air quality has affected my breathing. I also love that these are “smart” and connect to an app via Bluetooth. I can control how the filter is working, schedule it for certain time frames, etc all from my phone. I personally keep it running 24/7 (it doesn’t release ozone so it’s safe for my kitties! – a huge plus for me and something that was necessary in an air filter). I also like that it has a sleep mode that is more quiet. I personally like the sound of the fan going and enjoy keeping mine on “high” while sleeping. I also like the night light feature! These are super affordable (mine were $90 at target) and well worth the cost! The filters seem to last quite some time, too.ashley .s

I appreciate that Rabbit Air pays attention to the bird community and I’ve been seeing their ads for years in bird related publications. When it was time for a new air purifier, I researched the options out there and every road brought me back to Rabbit Air. Purchased the wifi model so I can monitor and activate the purifier wherever I am. Setup was very easy, even mounting it on the wall was simple. I love that the filters can be customized; having recently painted my house, the VOC filter really did a great job of reducing the paint smell. My bird loves it, and the peace of mind is worth every penny. Being a cockatoo bird owner, I’ve used a lot of different air purifiers over the years and this is by far the best.Eric B.

Bought this predominantly for using while smoking cigars indoors. It's not perfect. It works well on automatic for one cigar. More smokers than that and it needs to be turned up manually to Turbo. Even at that setting, I have a much cheaper HEPA filter that moves much more air, and draws the smoke into itself a lot more urgently than the Rabbit. But the HEPA filter doesn't have an "odor" filter like the Rabbit. Though the HEPA filter works well at pulling the smoke from the air, it doesn't deal with the smell like the Rabbit. I haven't tested it yet; but I'm guessing that using both the Rabbit and the HEPA filter together might work well for multiple cigar smokers. After being used for a week or two, the Rabbit now actually puts out a bit of a bad cigar smell even on the lowest setting. The exhaust air coming out the top is what smells. I'm guessing it's pulling the smell through from the odor filter? When I turn the Rabbit off, the smell quickly dissipates. So I now run it only when I need it, then turn it off to keep the smells trapped inside. So the Rabbit is a very good product, but be sure to go into a purchase with the right expectations. It's not going to completely eliminate the smell of cigars from your room. Not only do objects in the room hold the smell, but the Rabbit itself will put some of the captured smell back out into the room when it's on. But after figuring out how best to apply it, it's a very effective tool.Joseph Z.

Fantastic air purifier, we could not be happier with our purchase. It is clearly a quality-built product. The filters fit perfectly into the unit and the air purifier works perfectly. We noticed that it immediately started to clean the air the moment we turned on the unit. We opened and closed the door to the deck for just an instant and the unit increased speed right away as it sensed the smog in the outside air. The RabbitAir is truly a first-rate air purifier, we have already convinced others to buy them as these units are worth the price. It is extremely quiet, and we often check the air flow just to be sure that the unit is on. We bought two units and our home is now cleaner by the hour and the air smells great and our lungs appreciate it.Marcel L.

I purchased this specifically because it was advertised to eliminate pet odors. IT WORKS!! I have it next to the litter box and within 10 minutes of the litter box being used the odors are gone! A bonus for me is that with the dust from the litter box being eliminated it’s great for my asthma & post Covid respiratory issues. I highly recommend it to anyone with these issues!Burr53

I have many cats in three enclosures. I had bought 2 of these previously and liked them so much I ordered a third for the third room. Make sure you get the "Pet Purifier"especially for pets because it has a pre filter that collects the hair (does not have to be replaced) and a charcoal filter that helps with the smell (they recommend to replace it but on line people say you can wash in soapy water,rinse and dry in sun) and then a HEPA filter (that can be vacuumed). I've had so many air purifiers and when it is time to change the filter you can never find the right one.Marti

I absolutely love this air purifier! I've had two other, more expensive brands that I didn't really notice much of a difference, but this one is awesome! I purchased it to use in my bedroom, which for some reason gets extremely dusty. I was coughing a lot at night, however, since I have been uses this air purifier, I barely cough at all. I'm not making medical claims, I am just saying what it did for me! I do not have a pet at the moment, so I can't speak on that, but I do plan to get a tiny dog one day!MsDae19

Works great. My fiance has bad allergies and we needed to try something to help with her symptoms. This works great. She's not had any issues like she was having.shawnymike7

So far working very well. Very quiet most of the time. In the days of low air quality from wildfire smoke, it does sense it and starts pumping air more vigorously.Chi
