We have an LV-H132 in my workplace. We brought it into one of the old rooms that hasn't been used all year and smelled stuffy and dusty like an attic. Left it in there for a few days and it completely cleared it up. I had zero trouble in that room. Maybe it's not fast, but it definitely works.
This guy just hates Levoit.
Or he clearly states why he would not suggest purchasing Levoit based on value.
He s a Winix salesman.
Levoit doesn't offer much value for the price. It isn't just Winix either. Coway or even Germ Guardian offer a lot more effective product for the money.
@@theprimallorechannel5637 they use different filters that do the work without UV lights and other elements known to give off radiation.
@@badhabit714 I have both . He’s not wrong
What about the core 300?
how are you going to complain about an $80 air purifier not having enough output for a room over 100 square feet? thats the perfect size for a bedroom, most users aren't trying to filter the air of a 1200-2000 sq ft house, you get a filter system for the central ac unit. jesus dude, just review the product, don't tell people what they don't want. the middle one is a perfect choice for smaller rooms as long as it does its job.
Oh, how i wish you would have shown the other ones. Were they heavy? So are you saying the Levoit models are not the greatest? Which brand(model) would you recommend?
LV-H132 is one of the best bargains when on sale, being a true hepa at that price point is ludicrous, you're obviously not a fan of it the output is fine and I'd love to know where you're getting your numbers from, what fan speed are you using etc. That model has no extra bells and whistles no smart tech, irrelevant lighting push buttons etc, the points of failure are greatly reduced. On sale you can buy 4 of them for the price of the lv-pur131. Your description of the models shown is also incorrect.
See my full written review of the LV-H132 for a more detailed description of this unit's test results: www.consumeranalysis.com/guides/air-purifiers/levoit-lv-h132-review/
H133 advertises CADR of 274 on the Levoit website. You’re saying 235... what gives?
Hi would you be able to do a review on Levoit LV-H133? Thanks
I went for levoit lv-h133 after doing research and watching your videos. And I ideally wanted something to cover 400 sq ft
I looked into winix 5500-2 and coway 300 but coway was going be CAD700 after tax, and this levoit was only CAD50 more expensive than winix.
I ended up paying CAD300 after tax for Levoit. I think this just shows how much price differ in different countries. Hopefully I made the right choice 🙏- I think I did based on my current options.
Same here. How is the 133 working for you? I got the 131 coming.
where did you make your purchase?
Can you tell us what the options are for better output options are for small and large rooms? I would like to hear more about the better price to output units.
For small rooms see this video - th-cam.com/video/anDkdYhSq8A/w-d-xo.html
For large rooms see this video - th-cam.com/video/9NgbHtzoFJo/w-d-xo.html
just get the winix 5500-2. it’s pretty much the best air purifier on the market.
What are your views on the new cylinder like Philip's air purifiers like 2000i? That seems like it hits the 250 CFM advice and has a HEPA filter although, in the UK, the cheapest I found it is £270 so not cheap.
I am looking for a purifier that does not have any ozone/ hydroxyl generator AND a washable pre-filter but it seems that it doesn't exist. I like the Winix but I don't understand why these companies can't design a purifier that omits the ionizing devices. I think I will end up buying the H133 or the Honeywell HPA 200
Unfortunately, there are few options with your requirements. And of those that I've tested - e.g. the HPA200 - all have other issues that keep me from recommending them.
@@consumer-analysis i ended up going with the Levoit H133 because I felt the cylindrical design would be more effective gathering and moving air
Could you review Levoit's newer models? (eg. Core 200S, Core 300, Vital 100, etc)
the analysis does take into account the different uses for each. Given the more budget friendly air purifiers seem to cater to a more direct exposure than to the entire room. Other wise they wouldnt have made a "useless" product.
Yes I’m using it for my cat litter box area
Just shelled out 130 quid for an air purifier based on these reviews. How is it possible that nobody has mentioned that these things don't have a sodding remote? On top of that, the back panel is held on with a piss-poor magnet and the tiniest of knocks makes it fall off and the filters fall out. WHY HAS NOBODY MENTIONED THESE SERIOUS FLAWS?
Ther3e a wifi version
I just bought the big one there, the PUR131 - I am very happy with my Levoit I have the Core200 and Levoit Vital100. It is true, though, they are expensive.
Which one of those do u find the best?
I'm thinking about getting the smallest one, as I have the unique use case of wanting to use it in a 20 sq ft space. I wish you had spent some time talking about them in depth and showing their features, operation and disassembly of features for those of us that do have use cases for them. But I do now see you did a separate specific review for the smaller one, so I'll check that out and hopefully find what I'm looking for.
20 sq feet....? So a 4.5 by 4.5 room? That’s slightly bigger than a phone booth lol. You sure about that number? Why are you trying to clean the air in a phone booth?
@@OhYeaMista it's actually slightly bigger than 4 phone booths. I converted a closet into a recording booth.
@@GalaxyNexus1 Not trying to play semantics...but a 3x3 phone booth would be 9 sq feet. 20 sq feet is about twice that size, not 4 times. So you’re literally talking about a space just over twice the size of a phone booth. If that’s the size of your recording closet then ok but that’s a tiny area.
@@OhYeaMista not that it matters, but 20sq ft was a number I threw out. Since you are comparing the space to a phone booth, I told you the actual footprint of the space compared to a phone booth. Do you need anything else?
@@GalaxyNexus1 As you said, you threw out the number, not me. Had a feeling it was probably a bigger space than 20 sq ft. It’s all good though hope you find a filter that works for you.
Consumer Analysis I was planning on getting the H133 to cover multiple rooms, but it's sold out. Do you think it would be a good idea to get 2 of the smart app version of the 131 you feature in this video, instead, and spread them out? Or should I wait to get the 1 larger one?
Looking at current pricing a single LV-H133 (approx. 235 CFM) is much cheaper than two LV-PUR131s units (combined airflow of approx 270 CFM). As such, I would just wait for the LV-H133 to go back in stock and buy one of those.
I have the h133 and the vital100, both are amazing for living room and the bedroom using the vital100
Mchan Slam as the h133 was sold out and delayed for months, I ended up getting both the h131s and then eventually, the h133. I got about a $35 discount on the h131s and have had it for about a month in my bedroom, but moved it into my kitchen yesterday and placed my h133 in my bedroom, when it finally arrived after 3 months of trying to get it. I also have a h132 I use in a very small, confined space. Still too soon to evaluate the h133, but I love the look and quietness of it (on Auto/Sleep), and really look forward to enjoying it!
I'd really like to get a good air purifier, but I can only afford one at 100€/120USD. Is there anything you can recommend? I was thinking Xiaomi, but apparently they only have H11 filters (except one that's actually H13, but their lineup is really hard to understand and full of marketing lies.)
Upside is I only need it for a 15m² room, so output isn't as important, just good quality filters (ideally a good carbon filter too). Thanks!
Can you please review the Levoit Vital 100? it just came out in Feb. Please, it would be good to compare that unit to the LV-PUR132.
Yes, I do plan on reviewing it in the future.
@@consumer-analysis I actually just purchased and received the Vital100 a few days ago and I already feel it is doing an amazing job!
I'm really anxious to hear a review on the Levoit Vital 100. I ordered it initially for my living room. Then saw your review of the Winix 5000s and ordered that one for the living room and going to put the Levoit in my bedroom but haven't received either yet. I was hoping to see your take on the Levoit before it arrives (tomorrow) so if I needed to I could refuse delivery and purchase another Winix. I'm really hoping the Levoit Vital 100 will do a decent job. It was less money than the Winix and looked pretty good. I'm waiting for that notification that you've posted the review!
Well obviously the more expensive one will be the best 😂
What? He literally said that the higher price levoit doesn’t match performance
Thanks a bunch for saving my money & time!
Just need to find the best purifier for my room after having lived beside a major highway for 3 years, Any good carbon filter suggestions for I should use?
Thsnks a bunch in advance :)
Thanks for reviewing these, have been debating between which air purifier to buy and debating between the big one here against the Winix 5500-2, Conway AP 1512HH. I will definitely buy the other two as I also watched your review on those as well.
Can you please do a review on the Vista 200
Yes, I definitely plan on buying and testing it next time I buy air purifiers for review.
Will the smaller air purifier work for makeup gigs? For instance working on site at a venue and plugging it up and using it for the duration of the time doing the makeup service vs having it plugged in for days?
In a very small sealed (i.e. closed doors, windows, etc.) room it might work - to some extent at least - but otherwise it will not be very effective. There is no such thing as a "clean air bubble" around an air purifier. It has to be sized for the whole room that it is in. This video fully explains what you might expect from small air purifiers as well as my recommendations for small air purifiers: th-cam.com/video/anDkdYhSq8A/w-d-xo.html
Core 300 claims its can do 5x air changes in a 220sq ft room. It also advertises a CADR 230 m3/h. Is it any good?
230 m3/h translates to about 135 CFM which is low compared to the units I generally recommend (like the Winix 5500-2 and Coway Mighty). However, for a small room (under 150 sq. ft.) the Core 300 should work just fine.
@consumer analysis Knowning the Levoit 131 cost 190$ in Canada and Core 300 is 150$ versus Winix 5500-2 that is over 280$ right now, what would you recommend?
I would still go with the Winix as it gives you more CFM per $ compared to those Levoit options.
@@consumer-analysis Thank you very much
@@error2k1 You're welcome!
but winix is massive
levoit really helped with my house pet smell and dust.
Will you all be reviewing a Trusens unit? Maybe the Z-2000?
I am strongly considering it as part of the next group of air purifiers I test for review.
I’m going to sound like a Levoit fanboy...but there’s a couple things that are incorrect. CFM he gives for the 133 is incorrect. Their website and the owners manual says 274. The prices may have changed so I can’t beat him up there but they are available for significantly cheaper than what he quotes. They also do have a washable pre filter. It’s not removable but you just take a hand vacuum and clean up what accumulates on the pre filter; that’s what the manual recommends. I love this guys vids usually and I’m not trying to be “that guy” but those 3 points are off
When I heard him read off the name of the first unit, the first thing I thought was "that's the planet from Aliens o_O" :-) :-)
hehe, that's good.
what kind of HEPA filter 13 or 14?
13
Consumer Reports lists the LV-H132 as one of the worst air purifiers they tested. But neither CR nor you mention the Core
300. It’s gotten good reviews and it supposedly has good output for a small purifier. It also allows choosing a
filter for a specific function such as one that focuses on pets or one that focuses on mold. I’m considering
getting it and would like to know more about how it compares with similarly priced units for a small room.
I do plan on testing and posting a video review for the Core 300 in the future.
Perry Santanachote
from consumer reports is a hack, do some reaserch on her, just because a lazy article is written on the mighty consumer reports doesn't make it factual.
To save yourself time, his conclusion is that all 5 Levoit models aren't worth buying.
TLDR; He doesn't recommend any Levoit purifiers 😉
Thank you!
I bought a Levoit and my sons room smelled like straight chemicals 3 days later. Never again.
did the chemical smell like weed? yeah sounds like he levoit!
GREAT THANKS
I just wasted 8 minutes of my life
had one of those, it stopped working within a couple of weeks of using it. would not advise anyone to buy this rubbish.
What model did you own?
