▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ About this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
In this video, I will tell you exactly what I think about the Levoit Core 300 after thoroughly testing its performance and using it daily in my home for over a year.
This review includes a tutorial on everything you need to know about the Levoit Core 300. We will show you our performance, electricity and sound tests of the Core 300 air purifier, including a comparison with the Levoit Core 300S. We shared how to replace the filter and tips on how to clean it. And we tell you the truth about why Levoit stopped using 'HEPA filters' in their ads.

THE PROS:
✅ You get a great CADR for under $100 (145 CFM).
✅ Replacement filters are available and affordable.
✅ It’s a small unit: easy to move around the house.
✅ The controls are simple and straightforward.
✅ It cleared incense smoke from the air in my test room quicker than air purifiers that cost $600 more.
THE CONS:
❌It is not as energy-efficient as the newer Levoit Core 300S.
❌In 2024, you can find units that perform better than the Core 300 for a cheaper price such as the Winix A231.
As with every product I review for HouseFresh, I bought the Levoit Core 300 with my own money, so I have no ties with the manufacturer and can be 100% unbiased.

Hi Danny, i am struggling to find the Vital 200s in the UK. where did you purchase the one you tested?

@HouseFresh Месяц назад

Hey sadly it’s not be available in the UK yet, we imported ours from the US. I did see the vital 100s is here which is smaller so less powerful but still good, got a review coming out for it soon on here.

@mchickenuggets 2 месяца назад

I am looking at the core 200 which is for a smaller room, however im hearing a lot of different things about air purifiers and "true hepa". it is not as effective if it is not true hepa? is it still worth buying a non true hepa filter? I am looking for one for my bedroom due to a lot of dust and Im looking at other brands as well but this one is the most brought up and other brands are either too expensive or mixed reviews. what would you recommend?

@HouseFresh 2 месяца назад

The issue of HEPA is not a big deal for air purifiers. Lower grade filters can actually perform better due to increased air flow. The main issue is looking at air cleaning performance indicators like CADR. We tested the core 200 and I personally found it to be underpowered for the price especially as running costs will be similar to bigger devices like the core 300. If possible I would recommend going for a bigger device than the 200 if you can as you will get more bang for your buck. If you have to choose a smaller device then I would get the vital 100s over the 200 , it tested really well and we hope to have a review live at the end of this month. Thanks for commenting !

@user-py1xw4iy4m 28 дней назад

Hi. I was wondering if you could tell me how well it does against VOCS. I read mixed reviews online about air purifiers removing VOCS, with some saying it doesn't remove them at all. Do you think the green carbon filter will work well against VOCS?

@HouseFresh 28 дней назад

Any device that contains activated carbon will remove vocs but these smaller devices don’t contain much carbon so can quickly need replacing if you have serious issue with vocs. If you just want to focus on vocs then look at devices that contain very large amounts of carbon, 5lbs and more. They do cost a lot more to buy and run and might not be required but are best suited for removing gas vs particles. Hope that is helpful, thanks for commenting. 🙏

Hi mate, I live in a top floor massionette (5 rooms) - hope this isnt a stupid question... if i buy a purifer which covers more space and it was placed in my front room, will it clean some of the air in other rooms also? Reason i ask, im debating on whether to purchase a levoit 600s or smaller version. Would really appreciate any recommendations 👍

@HouseFresh 2 месяца назад

Not a stupid question and a common query I get. If it was an open plan design you could get away with a larger device to clean the entire space but not if they are enclosed rooms. Air purifier brands don’t make this clear so your confusion is very normal! In general try to get one unit for each room you want to keep clean. Larger devices can be run on lower speeds that are much quieter than a small unit running an top speed. They also have a similar running costs so I suggest getting as large as you can live with. The sweet spot right now for performance to spend for a standard room would be the Levoit Vital 200S or Winix 5500-2. My reviews for these: housefresh.com/levoit-vital-200s-review/ housefresh.com/winix-5500-2-review/ Hope the above helps and thanks for the question!

How does it compare to the medify MA-15? im stuck between the 300s and that one?

@HouseFresh Месяц назад

Medify generally charges much more for filters. They recommend every 4 months for the MA-15 at $29.99, which equates $89.97 per year in filters alone. In comparison, Levoit only requires every 6 months, so yearly filter costs for genuine filters are only $59.98. When we tested the medify-15 and it took 58 minutes to clean our test room, while the Core 300 took 40 minutes, so you get better performance with the Levoit model. However, my main reason for avoiding Medify is the overpriced filters. I hope that helps you. Thanks for the comment!

@ivanthepinapdeltoro5708 Месяц назад

Hi I just wanted to know about the energy cost is the it 27 dollars on the energy bill every month or over the entire year

@HouseFresh Месяц назад

This is calculated for the entire year and running 24/7 at high speed. In general air purifiers are on the lower end of energy usage vs power hungry devices like dehumidifiers and heaters.

@vouladasakis235 Месяц назад

Why does my red light still stay on even though I replaced the old filter with a new one. How do I get it to turn off. I tried holding it down for a few seconds and unplugging and replugging it in too. Not sure what to do.

@HouseFresh Месяц назад

Have you made sure to keep it plugged in. Try and hold for at least 10 seconds. If not, it might be something you will have to take up with Levoit. They have a 2 year warranty so hope you are in warranty.

@BottomLineBassin2 Месяц назад

I've been running the Core 300 for a year. The green filters are better for odor elimination. However, my next machine will be the Puroair 14 based on the hepa 14 filtration and automatic feature. Overall, the Levoit 300 is a great machine and I would buy another in a heartbeat.

@HouseFresh Месяц назад

How to heat the Core 300 has been working for you. I personally wouldn’t suggest the puroair14 as I don’t think it provides value: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dihjJLHbJeM.htmlsi=uJyfJjpvVM8bRk5T I would look at the Levoit Vital 200s if your looking for an upgrade has auto mode, app support and more air cleaning power.

@tom-ml3ph Месяц назад

I have the 300. What's new about the 300s model?

@HouseFresh Месяц назад

You get an auto-mode and app support and it uses less energy at top fam speed but need to pay an extra $50. The problem is at that price there are better options like the Winix 5500-2.

Are the generic filters good though?, excellent review sir. Make sure you say per year on costs a bit more often you do say it at end

@HouseFresh Месяц назад

Thanks for the feedback will make sure to add this for future videos! I tested generic filters for another device (Alen 45i) and saw the same particle removal performance. Still want to test more generic filters but considering that Levoit doesn’t even call their own filters HEPA grade then I can’t see there being a big difference.

How does this compare to the One Home UV K1? Or any super budget Air purifier under 50 USD. Thanks!

@HouseFresh 13 дней назад

I couldn't find the CADR for the One Home UV K1, which is a little concerning. I have tested lots of sub $50 devices, and most have been close to useless, sadly. We recently tested a $15 ali express/Temu air purifier and it was actually a better performer than many of the cheaper devices on Amazon but still very underpowered for most situations. If you have a very limited budget, you would be best to build your own with something like this: smartairfilters.com/en/blog/how-to-make-diy-air-purifier/ And use your money on the best filter/fan combination you can get. Thanks for your comment and hope my answer was useful!

Would you pick the levoit vital 100s over the care 300s?

@HouseFresh 2 месяца назад

When comparing with the Core 300, the Vital 100s is definitely superior as you get better air cleaning performance, smart functionalities and a removable pre-filter. When comparing against the Core 300s, the Vital 100s is pretty much the same thing. The biggest difference comes with design and footprint: the Vital 100s is slightly bigger and it's not something you might want to place on top of your kitchen counter + it comes with the removable pre-filter which will make it easier to clean regularly without much hassle. Personally, I prefer the Core 300s because it fits the spaces where I use it (my kitchen and my home office). But if you can, I would suggest paying a little more to get the Vital 200S as it’s much more powerful than all these three units (it completed our air cleaning test in 21 minutes!) for just an additional $50: housefresh.com/levoit-vital-200s-review/

This 35 watts was just the power level we recorded from the device so not calculated yet for time. We then do a calculation assuming 24/7 usage to get an estimate for total energy usage and cost to electricity bill. Let me know that is clear or I can explain more.

@@_NEWBZ_ not a big deal but also not a good look for Levoit. But lower grade than hepa is more effective in small devices like this. Blueair has always used lower grade than hepa with ionization and have some of the best cadr to wattage ratios. As it’s not HEPA I don’t see a reason to choose oem filters instead of the cheaper generics.
