Levoit core 300 filters

The levoit core 300 destroys the pollutants by utilizing the 3 stage filtration system these are pre-filter, activated carbon filter and true HEPA filter.

• Pre-filter

The washable pre-filter of Levoit core 300 is very efficient to capture large airborne particles like hair and pet fur, which also prolongs the life span of the main HEPA filter. Its pre-filter is washable so you need to wash it every 2 – 4 weeks.

• True HEPA filter

Levoit claims the true HEPA filter is made in Japan and this true HEPA Filter does excellent work in capturing 99.97% of microscopic allergens, dust, pollen, mold spores pet dander, and smoke down to 0.3 microns in size.

• Activated carbon filter

An activated carbon filter is placed at the 3rd step filtration which helps to absorb VOCs, odors created from cigarette and cooking, and other different types of odors. Although, because of its thin size it’s not able to absorb odors like a heavy-duty odor absorber. So, if your primary concern is to purify odor then choose a heavy- duty odor absorber air purifier.

Levoit core 300 room coverage area and CADR

The Levoit core 300 can cover approx. 215 sq ft area. Although this air purifier will not go with a large room but it can be an ideal choice for small to medium-sized rooms.  

Besides, the ACH of Levoit Core 300 is 5X. The new technology of fan power shows its ability, and the Levoit Core 300 can purify 215 square feet area in every 12 minutes – the best ACH rating among all Levoit models.

Noise

It is needless to say that the Levoit Core 300 is one of the quietest air purifiers in the market and it is clearly bedroom centric air purifier. You won’t notice anything when it works at the lowest setting.

When it runs at the lowest setting then the noise level stays only in 24dB, that is below the whisper level, and at the highest setting, the noise level reaches as high as 50 dB, which looks a bit loud for 135 cfm air purifiers but still quieter than many expensive air purifiers. So, you can choose the Levoit Core 300 without any doubt for its impressive noise level.  

Levoit core 300 power consumption

The levoit Core 300 is more powerful with the AC capacitor motor. So it can consume a little more energy than a typical DC motor. The rated power of Levoit core 300 is only 45 watts. If you use it for 12 hours each day, then your energy cost will be approximately $16 per year. Which is expensive than Levoit Vista 200.

Control panel

The LED touch control panel is conveniently located on the top of the device and also very convenient to use. It has 3 fan speed and four different timers: 2hr, 4hr, 6hr, and 8hr. You can set it to night mode where it goes to the lowest fan speed and turns the display off. It also has a display lock to inhibit unwanted touch from a filter life indicator. This air purifier doesn’t have any air quality sensor to display the air quality.

You need to replace the filter every 6-8 months and the cost will be $20, which looks great. Also, Levoit offers 4 filter variants and these are original filter, pet allergy filter, toxin absorber filter, and mold bacteria filter. All the filters use the same 3 stages of filtration. This makes it look like a marketing gimmick. No techniques like UV-C or ionizer are used in the filtration process hence its completely ozone-free device.
