Introducing the Levoit 600S Air Purifier: A Two-Minute Review

Air purifiers have become an essential appliance in homes, especially during the summer months when dust, dander, and odors become more noticeable. Unlike fans that simply circulate air, air purifiers extract impurities and particulates that cause smells and germs, creating a fresher and healthier environment. One such air purifier is the Levoit 600S, known for its ability to filter out 99.97% of PM2.5 particles, including dust, pollen, pet hair, and even road traffic pollution.

The Levoit 600S operates by using an electrostatic or fabric filter, which collects impurities as the air is blown towards it by the purifier’s fan mechanism. These impurities are then stored in a disposable bag at the bottom of the device, ensuring a clean and fresh atmosphere. In addition to its purification capabilities, the 600S can also change the air in a 147m² room twice an hour, making it suitable for most room sizes.

One of the standout features of the Levoit 600S is its compatibility with the VeSync app. By using the app, users have more control over the purifier, with access to real-time PM2.5 readings, air quality information, and scheduling options. The app also offers one-touch fan adjustments and can even adjust the fan’s power based on ambient light levels, making it ideal for use in bedrooms.

As for the price and availability of the Levoit 600S, it is currently priced at £299.99 ($360, AU$574) and is available for purchase on Amazon UK. However, there is currently a £50 discount voucher available, bringing the price down to £249. Replacement filters are also available for £69.99, and a pet allergy version is available for £101. While the model launched last year in the US, it is currently unavailable on Amazon, with only replacement filters being sold. Australia, on the other hand, only has the filters available for purchase.

In terms of design, the Levoit 600S is both large and lightweight, with a sleek curved body and a flat fan on top. The materials used are sturdy, and the unit features useful status indicator lights. Setting up the purifier is a simple process of twisting apart the top and bottom halves, inserting the filter, and clicking the two halves back together. However, it is important to ensure that the purifier is placed around 40cm away from walls to prevent overheating.

When it comes to performance, the Levoit 600S proved to be effective in removing dust, dander, and aerosol particulates, improving the overall air quality. However, it was less effective in eliminating kitchen odors. The purifier was tested in both a spacious house and a more confined terraced house, with positive results in both environments.

Overall, the Levoit 600S air purifier offers great performance and convenience, with its ability to filter out PM2.5 particles, its compatibility with the VeSync app, and its sleek design. With a price of £299 and availability on Amazon UK, it is a worthy investment for those looking to improve the air quality in their homes.
