Levoit Core 300 Air Purifier

9.0/10 Our verdictHands-on tested, not gifted

Bought it for the dog smell, ended up loving it for allergies. My wife stopped waking up stuffy after we ran it in the bedroom at night. Quiet enough to sleep through, and the filters only need swapping every ~6 months.

The full review

Why it ended up being an allergy machine

I originally got the Core 300 because our dog was making the house smell funky, but my wife's seasonal allergies ended up being the thing it helped most. She used to wake up stuffy and sneezing every spring morning, and that pretty much stopped once we started running it in the bedroom at night.

Living with it

It's quiet enough to sleep through on the low setting, and the filters only need swapping every six months or so, way less annoying than I expected. Just make sure whatever you buy has a real HEPA filter; that's what actually catches the fine allergens.

Buy it if: you want relief from pet odor or airborne allergies in a bedroom or office. Note: it's sized for one room, get one per room rather than expecting whole-house coverage.

What I liked

  • Genuine seasonal-allergy relief
  • Cuts pet and cooking odor
  • Quiet on low, sleepable
  • Filters last ~6 months

What to know

  • Best for a single room
  • Replacement filters are a running cost
  • Won't fix dust mites in bedding
  • Small footprint = small coverage

Common questions

Does it help with dust mites?

It cleans airborne allergens, but dust mites mostly live in your mattress and bedding, a purifier helps overall air quality but won't solve that at the source.

How often do you change the filter?

Every six months or so in my use, less often than I expected.

Is it loud?

Quiet enough to sleep through on the low setting.
