This guide is for anyone seeking to improve indoor air quality, particularly those with allergies, pet owners, or individuals desiring smart home integration. The Levoit Smart Air Purifier offers advanced three-stage filtration and smart control for cleaner, healthier air, though optimal performance requires regular filter maintenance. It provides a significant win in creating a comfortable living environment by effectively removing common airborne pollutants, ensuring you breathe easier at home.

The Levoit Smart Air Purifier excels in creating a healthier indoor environment by effectively tackling a range of airborne pollutants. For allergy sufferers, its True HEPA filter is highly effective at capturing pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, significantly reducing triggers for hay fever and other allergic reactions. The Activated-Carbon filter plays a crucial role in neutralizing household odors, such as cooking smells, pet odors, and even cigarette smoke, leaving your home smelling fresher.
Pet owners will particularly appreciate the unique Pet Mode, accessible through the VeSync app. This mode, combined with the U-shaped air intake, is specifically designed to more efficiently draw in and capture pet hair and larger particles often found in homes with animals. The washable pre-filter helps extend the life of the main filters by trapping these larger elements first.
In terms of coverage, the purifier's CADR of 243 m³/h means it can thoroughly clean the air in a typical large living room (e.g., 104㎡) once every hour, or a smaller bedroom (e.g., 21㎡) five times an hour. This rapid purification ensures that even after cooking or having guests, your air quality can quickly return to optimal levels.
For undisturbed sleep, the device's Sleep Mode operates at a mere 23dB, quieter than a whisper. The upgraded Light Sensor automatically detects darkness and turns off the display lights and adjusts to the quietest fan speeds, ensuring a completely dark and peaceful sleeping environment. The Auto Mode continuously monitors your home's air quality via a built-in sensor and automatically adjusts the fan speed as needed, providing hands-off purification without constant manual adjustments. You can observe these changes and air quality feedback directly on the unit's display or through the VeSync app, which uses color-coded indicators for easy understanding.
Unpack: Carefully remove the air purifier from its packaging. Ensure all protective materials and plastic coverings, especially those around the filters, are removed before first use.
Filter Installation: Twist off the bottom cover, remove the protective plastic from the pre-installed filters, and then place them back into the unit, securing the cover.
Power On: Place the purifier on a flat, stable surface, away from walls or obstructions, and plug it into a power outlet. Press the power button to turn it on.
Connect to VeSync App (Optional but Recommended): Download the free VeSync app from your smartphone's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to pair your air purifier. This enables smart controls, Pet Mode, and remote monitoring.
This smart air purifier is designed for seamless integration with popular smart home ecosystems:
Voice Assistants: Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Once connected to the VeSync app, you can enable the Levoit skill/action in your voice assistant's app to control the purifier with voice commands (e.g., "Alexa, turn on the air purifier").
VeSync App: The primary control hub for advanced features, scheduling, filter life monitoring, and real-time air quality data.
Proper care ensures your air purifier performs optimally and prolongs its lifespan:
Washable Pre-Filter: The outermost pre-filter is washable. It should be cleaned regularly (e.g., every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage and air quality) to remove large particles like pet hair and lint. Gently remove it, rinse under cool water, and allow it to air dry completely before re-installing.
HEPA and Activated-Carbon Filter Replacement: The combined HEPA and Activated-Carbon filter unit is not washable and must be replaced. Levoit recommends replacing the filter every 8 to 12 months, depending on usage. The VeSync app can help you track filter life. To replace, twist off the bottom cover, remove the old filter, insert a new genuine Levoit replacement filter, and secure the cover. Reset the filter indicator on the unit after replacement.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth as needed. Do not use abrasive cleaners or wet cloths that could damage electrical components.
