In reply to Daniel.. I did real-life tests and noticed that the air quality sensor triggers very often: when someone is cooking, when someone is walking in the room, when a window is opened and polluted outdoor air enters inside, etc.

I have been using a brand new Levoit Core 600S for about 9 days. It was clearly in new perfect condition when I got it and set it up. This purifier constanly shows the air quality (PM2.5 meter) at 001 no matter whether in the living area or bedroom. The filter shows very little dust or anything trapped in it. I mostly use it on speed level 3 of 4. Meanwhile, a brand new Filtrete 2200 MPR (MERV 13) central A/C filter has gone from white to gray (filthy) in the same 9 days. The PM 2.5 monitor seems completely useless always showing lowest best air quality of 001 (my Kokofit also shows great air quality). I have no doubt this monitor works for heavy smoke but anything else – NO! In addition, when the unit is on (I run it for hours than turn it off for several hours to test it), I get head aches and other severe aches and pains. It does not seem to do anything much about odor or dust and does not help may allergies or asthma ( same with other units minus the headaches and brain fog). In conclusion, I can only assume this unit is offgassing or puting some kind of VOCS of it’s own or perhaps carbon dust from the carbon filter in the air. It would be nice if you testers would take it home and give it the real life test that the rest of us do, maybe then your results might differ..

In reply to 600S.

Hi. I like the Levoit Everest Air’s fancy look, but I would choose the Core 600S, especially for larger rooms.

Actually, only a pre-filter is washable on Everest, which is not a big deal. Properly maintained pre-filter on both air purifiers will prolong the HEPA filter’s life.

Hi Milan, could you please advise whether I should buy the Everest or the 600S model, I saw in the description that the Everest model has a washable filter, slightly smaller capacity 558 vs 635 sq.f and may be a little bit less noisy. However, it says 558 in 12 min while for the 600S it changes the air every 20 min. Is it that much better to justify the price difference? Does the washable filter extend the life of the HEPA filter significantly? Thanks in advance for your answer!

In reply to NICHOLAS JAMES.

They are CARB certified. I will use the Core 600S as an example.

If you take a closer look at the user manual, you’ll find that the Core 600S made for the US market has a LAP-C601S-WUS model number. Therefore, instead of searching for “Levoit Core 600S” on the CARB devices list, try searching for the specific model number in this case, which is “LAP-C601S-WUS.”

In reply to Steve. I'm sure you won't go wrong with whichever you choose, but I can't say anything for sure until I compare the devices mentioned in-depth.

How does this compare to the Coway Airmega 300 or 400?

In reply to Louise. Hi, I use a tool that measures noise levels on an A-weighted scale, which is why the results differ. For example, >40 dBA is equal to a quiet living room, >60 dBA is similar to normal daily conversation, and >70 dBA is similar to traffic noise, etc.

Thanks for the detailed review! I see the noise specs for the Core 600 are 26–55dB. You measured much higher! I was considering this model because of its comparatively high CADR at low noise, but maybe not so good after all…
