LEVOIT
LEVOIT Core Mini Air Purifier
The cheapest real air purifier worth buying — HEPA filtration, aroma pad, and whisper-quiet operation for $45.
Our Review
The LEVOIT Core Mini is the entry point to air purification. At just $45, it's small enough for a desk or nightstand and quiet enough to sleep next to. The 3-in-1 filter (pre-filter, HEPA, activated carbon) captures dust, pollen, and pet dander effectively in small spaces up to 178 sq ft. The built-in aroma pad lets you add essential oils for a pleasant scent. Three fan speeds and a noise floor of just 25 dB make it unobtrusive. It won't purify a living room, but for a bedroom, dorm, nursery, or home office, it does exactly what you need for the price of a nice dinner.
