• "It removes smells, and I can genuinely feel that the air I’m breathing is cleaner."
• "Within 30 minutes of operation, the cat odor was reduced significantly."

Cons:

• "I've had these for a few months now and I'm already shopping for something else because my allergies are getting worse, I'm sicker and I can't breathe."

• "I am using the smoke filter and still smell their smoke."

• "This air purifier does nothing but create a breeze."
• "I’m not sure if it truly does anything but it sure does make you feel like it."
• "After 4 days room air still has dust and the filter still very clean like its not collecting anything."

Design and Size

Pros:

• "I thought this would be less of an eyesore because of its unique shape but it is huge and ends up becoming more of a center of attention."
• "The unit itself is not huge or ugly, so it can sit in the corner of most rooms without being objectionable."
• "The size is perfect!"
• "It is esthetically nice to look at, small and lightweight."
• "The white color and cylindrical shape is aesthetically pleasing to me."
• "Nice enough it's out in the open and isn't an eye sore."
• "The design is also attractive."

Cons:

• "Only thing is I wish it were a tad bit smaller in size."
• "Also the round one you have to keep it away like 15 inches from the wall, making it even more the center of attention."
• "We returned it and got the traditional shape."

Noise Level

Pros:

• "There's an option to turn the 'indicator lights' off at night as it runs so there's no intrusive light shining."
• "There’s the night/sleep mode that really does keep it quieter."
• "The sleep mode is so quiet that I forget that it is even on most of the time."
• "Has 4 speeds which none are overbearing."
• "It isn’t too loud, I keep mine on my middle setting but I also enjoy the white noise it puts off."
• "It's nice and quiet if you need it to be."
• "It is extremely quiet."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately, after only a few months our unit developed a whining noise when it is running."
• "However, after 5 months this one has started to smell like it’s burning when in use."
• "While the highest setting is the most efficient at clearing the air, it also is the loudest."
• "I removed it from the main living area because unless it’s on low fan it’s too loud."
• "The fan seems to do a good job of cleaning the air but is louder than expected."
• "The highest setting on the fan does get pretty loud."
• "I will say it's loud. Not terrible but sure loud unless on bedtime mode."

Filter and Maintenance

Pros:

• "We haven't put in a new filter but one of the things I considered in buying this for her was the ease of changing filters."
• "Changing out the filter is quite easy as well."
• "The filters last a long time with periodic cleaning."
• "Finding replacement filters is not hard and don't cost an arm and a leg to get."
• "Filters can be pricy but aftermarket ones on Amazon appear to be identical and work exacting the same, with perfect fit."
• "The filters are also very easy to maintain and replace/install."
• "Changing the filter takes about 10 seconds and is easy to do."

Cons:

• "Also how do you know when filter needs replaced?"
• "Now I have a red light on indicating filter problem. No instructions on how to correct this."
• "It keeps telling me I need to change my filter, I did and nothing improved."
• "The only negative is that when moving it around, the bottom piece often falls off, despite being secured properly."
• "Last month one of them had the filter replacement light on and I discovered I had not taken the plastic wrap off either filter inside."
• "The replacement filters are expensive."
• "However, what I received was obviously used. The filter wasn’t in the packaging that was described in the instructions, and it was already dirty."

Additional Features

Pros:

• "But the app is the best feature. It lets me program a schedule."
• "I love the auto feature anytime we need extra air filtration it automatically turns on the fan speed on high."
• "I also like the fact that it's up-to-date technology, so that I can monitor things from my phone, and schedule it to turn on and off during the day."
• "The app that keeps track of the indoor air quality is so helpful."
• "I also love the ability to control the unit from my phone and that it isn't loud."
• "You can use the app to control it, control it with your voice or thru Alexa."
• "I also appreciate that it doubles as a white noise machine, which has helped me sleep better since I started using it."

Cons:

• "I tried to contact customer support for levoit air purifier but I didn't have any luck, they don't take phone calls and their website is not working."
• "The wifi button won’t show up."
• "I am removing another two stars because it turns on by itself and never turns off, which is not energy efficient."
• "Honestly mainly upset that in time to replace the filter if you haven't kept the box or the manual you better be good at guessing or remembering because I don't even know if this Is the one I have there's no way to tell other than the manual and the app you REQUIRE to run it will forget it exists constantly."
• "I hope you like the smell of flatulence, weird fishes, and ghastly odors of unknown origin - 'cause that's what you'll get when you run this machine."
• "Also had smoke near it recently to see if it would catch it and it just blew the smoke around the room."
• "Should’ve saved my money. Expected better."
