Levoit Core 300-P Air Purifier, White vs Levoit Vital 200S-P Smart Air Purifier (LAP-V201S-WUS), White
These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.
Levoit Core 300-P Air Purifier, White
A bedroom or office around 222 sq ft, controlled by hand
The Core 300-P is Levoit's non-smart cylinder purifier: 8.7 inches across, 56 watts, one combined three-stage filter replaced every six to eight months. The maker's own design room is 222 sq ft at 4.8 air changes an hour, not the 1,073 in the title. There is no auto mode and no app on this version.
Published specifications
- Maker: Core 300-P, AC 120 V 60 Hz, 56 W, 8.7 x 8.7 x 14.2 in, 7.9 lb
- Maker: 1,066 sq ft at 1 air change/hr, 222 sq ft at 4.8 air changes/hr
- Listing: CADR 143 smoke / 153 dust / 167 pollen CFM; maker page lists 143 only
- Maker: filter Core 300-P-RF, replace every 6 to 8 months; no washable pre-filter
- Maker: noise 24-54.5 dB; Ozone Free; CARB compliant, FCC certified, ETL listed
- Maker: 14-104 F, under 85% RH; two-year limited warranty
Strengths
- Maker publishes its coverage as air changes per hour, so 222 sq ft is a usable number
- Stated ozone free, CARB compliant, FCC certified and ETL listed, with no ioniser stage
- One filter part number, Core 300-P-RF, with pet, smoke and toxin versions to swap in
Caveats
- No auto mode and no app on this version; fan speed is set by hand
- Filter lasts only six to eight months by the maker's own recommendation, and the whole cartridge is replaced
- Manual PDFs on the listing and on the maker's site are scans, so clearance and warranty wording could not be checked
Levoit Vital 200S-P Smart Air Purifier (LAP-V201S-WUS), White
A room around 388 sq ft with 15 inches clear in front of it
Levoit's Vital 200S-P is a three-stage purifier with a washable pre-filter and a combined main and carbon filter replaced yearly. The manual gives CADR of 250 smoke, 254 dust and 289 pollen, and the maker's own design room is 388 sq ft at 4.8 air changes an hour, not the 1875 in the title. It runs from an external 24 V adapter and needs 15 inches of clear space in front.
Published specifications
- Manual: LAP-V201S-WUS / KUS, 24 V 2.5 A adapter, 51 W (maker page says 50 W)
- Manual: CADR 250 smoke / 254 dust / 289 pollen CFM; ENERGY STAR certified

Strengths
- Maker publishes full three-figure CADR and defines its room sizes by air changes per hour
- Washable pre-filter that is never replaced, plus pet, smoke and toxin carbon filter options
- Sensor, modes and limits are documented, including that the dust sensor cannot detect gas
Caveats
- The 1875 sq ft headline is a one-air-change figure; the manual's own limit is 388 sq ft
- The HEPA-grade claim is qualified to Sleep Mode, and the listing's 0.1-micron figure exceeds both maker documents
- Two-year warranty covers the original buyer from authorised sellers only, and excludes filters
