Levoit Core 200S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier Gray

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.
