“They have been proven to decrease the risk of hospital-related Aspergillus infections.” Air quality, humidity, and temperature can be monitored on the LCD screen or in the app. Our tester said they would recommend it for the simple fact that the “air cleanliness readings improved dramatically after just 5 to 10 minutes of operation.” Before starting the cleaning process, make sure to unplug the air purifier to avoid any electrical hazards. Water and electricity are never a good combination to work with and air purifier works on electricity only.
Additionally, this air purifier also has an activated carbon filter that eliminates household odors from the air, but the expensive cost of filter replacement may put some off. The Levoit LV-H132 is an easy-to-use air purifier with a three-stage filtration system perfect for eliminating air dust, pet dander, pollen, and allergens from your living space. It also has five buttons for easy control, but it does not have any smart features and does not come with a remote.
And you don’t need to worry about the light display ruining your sleep or about forgetting to turn off the purifier. The light display can be either dimmed or completely turned off, and you can set this model to automatically turn off after eight, 12, or 14 hours. In terms of design, this is a compact and minimalist-looking air purifier, so it won’t look awkward in your room.
Her work has appeared in publications like The New York Times, Media Psychology, Brit+Co, and Parents.com, to name a few. She’s also a mother of two young children, each of whom has a Levoit air purifier in their room. Our experts

The effectiveness of such features is dubious, and it draws additional electrical power. In addition, it’s lightweight—a shade over 12 pounds—making it easy to move around
via its convenient pocket handle. Finally, it’s compact, standing just 18 inches tall, 10 inches deep, and 17 inches wide, about the size and shape of a large beach tote.
It’s extremely powerful, delivering our recommended 4 ACH (air changes per hour) in spaces as large as 650 square feet (assuming an 8-foot ceiling). That means it can clean the combined living areas of many open-floor-plan homes. Its five-year cost of ownership—about $1,150 including the up-front
cost and the annual cost of electricity and replacement filters—is comparable to that of most large-space purifiers. All that said, unless you need to clean an especially large space, the even quieter, smaller, and much more affordable Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty is a better choice.
One nice feature is that every purifier they offer comes with True HEPA filters — a fact that can’t always be said for every other manufacturer. Before using it, the only thing you need to do is remove the plastic bag from around the filter. Simply twist the shell counterclockwise to remove it from the base, take out the filter and lock the shell back in place. An important thing to consider is that this purifier does emit ozone through its negative ion generator. According to Rabbit Air, its purifiers comply with the ozone safety measures established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
