The Levoit EverestAir-P is a premium air purifier intended for larger rooms, sitting above the Core 600S in Levoit's lineup. It has a relatively slim shape, wheels for easier repositioning, and an adjustable top vent that lets you change the direction of the outgoing air. A three-channel laser dust sensor tracks PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10, which simply refer to different particle sizes in the air, from very fine particles like smoke to larger ones like dust and pollen. It can use these readings to automatically adjust the fan speed based on detected air quality. It also supports app controls and uses a washable pre-filter.
Our Verdict
The Levoit EverestAir-P is an excellent choice for pet owners. Its high CADR gives it enough particle filtration to keep up with airborne pet dander in larger rooms, including spaces like living rooms or studio apartments. It also stays fairly quiet for the amount of air it moves, so you can dial down the fan speed if your pet is sensitive to noise without giving up too much filtration performance. Its particle sensor can monitor air quality and adjust the fan speed automatically when dander levels shift throughout the day or while you're away from home. The washable pre-filter also helps catch larger debris like pet hair and fur before it reaches the main filter, while the activated carbon layer can help with lighter pet-related odors.
Washable pre-filter catches pet hair and fur.

Quiet enough to avoid spooking skittish pets
The Levoit EverestAir-P is excellent for bedrooms. It stays very quiet at lower fan speeds, and its filtration rate remains strong enough to clean the air effectively in even larger bedrooms. Sleep mode uses an even quieter fan setting than its lowest standard speed, and the light sensor can automatically switch off the display when the room gets dark, making the purifier less disruptive overnight. The companion app also lets you set schedules and monitor air quality without having to get out from under the covers. However, its fairly large footprint can make it harder to place in smaller bedrooms.

The Levoit EverestAir-P's particle filtration rate is amazing. At its Turbo setting, its high CADR provides enough airflow to keep particle levels low in large rooms such as living rooms, kitchens, and studio apartments. It can also clear fine airborne particles quickly after activities like cooking, cleaning, or opening windows when outdoor pollution levels are high.
High CADR suits larger rooms.
The Levoit EverestAir-P has a fairly large footprint, so it takes up noticeable floor space. It's quite wide and tall, though its relatively shallow depth makes it easier to tuck against a wall than many other large-capacity cylindrical air purifiers. Built-in wheels also make it easy to shift around the room when you need to, and the angled output means you can place it in lower clearance areas while still letting air flow freely into the room.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Levoit EverestAir-P is available in the color 'Silver.' We bought and tested this version. For those interested, here's the product label for our test unit. The Levoit EverestAir-P was previously sold as the EverestAir. Both use the same LAP-EL551S-AUS model number and appear to be the same air purifier, although Levoit has updated some of its published specifications and filtration claims.

Popular Air Purifier Comparisons
The Levoit EverestAir-P is a high-end air purifier designed for larger rooms and is the highest-priced model in Levoit's air purifier lineup. It offers practically the same maximum particle filtration performance as the much cheaper Levoit Core 600S, but it runs quieter, holds onto slightly stronger filtration at lower noise levels, and comes with a more premium design and feature set. The EverestAir-P is also quieter and more feature-rich than the Blueair Blue Pure 211i Max, though the Blueair delivers a higher particle filtration rate. The Levoit doesn't rely on an ionizer, though, avoiding the small amount of ozone these systems can produce. It's also significantly stronger at particle filtration and is smaller than its luxury competitor, the Dyson Purifier Big+Quiet Formaldehyde BP04, though the Dyson adds formaldehyde filtration.

The Levoit EverestAir-P is better overall than the Levoit Core 600S, though the Core 600S is the better value if you care about air filtration performance alone. Their maximum particle filtration performance is practically identical, and the Core 600S even has a slightly higher maximum CADR. That said, the EverestAir-P is quieter, holds onto slightly stronger filtration at lower noise levels, and is better suited to spaces like bedrooms where you might not want to run the purifier at full speed. It also feels more premium, with a slimmer wall friendly shape, an adjustable air outlet, and a more advanced three channel laser particle sensor that gives you separate PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 readings.
The Levoit EverestAir-P is a better air purifier overall than the Dyson Purifier Big+Quiet Formaldehyde BP04. Its maximum particle filtration rate is significantly higher, and it is a significantly smaller unit, taking uo much less floor space. The Dyson is substantially quieter at its highest setting and uses a HEPA-certified filter, while also offering additional air quality sensing and dedicated formaldehyde filtration. That said, if your main priority is quickly removing airborne particles from a large room, the Levoit is considerably more capable.
The Levoit EverestAir-P is better overall than the Coway Airmega 400. Their maximum particle filtration performance is very similar, with the Coway having a slightly higher maximum CADR, but the Levoit holds onto substantially stronger filtration when you need to keep noise down. It also has app support, more detailed PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 readings, and a much shallower body that makes it easier to place against a wall. The Coway has the advantage of a HEPA certified filter and is slightly quieter at its lowest setting, but it lacks app controls and has much weaker low noise filtration performance.
The Levoit EverestAir-P is better overall than the Blueair Blue Pure 211i Max, though the Blueair is stronger if particle filtration performance is your main concern. The Blueair has a higher maximum CADR and also moves considerably more clean air at quieter fan settings. That said, the EverestAir-P is quieter at its lowest setting, gives you more detailed particle monitoring, and its slimmer shape is easier to place close to a wall. The Levoit also doesn't rely on an ionizer, unlike the Blueair, so you don't have to account for the small amount of ozone that ionization systems can produce.
Test Results
The air quality indicator changes color based on the current particle level:
- Blue: Very good
- Green: Good
- Orange: Moderate
- Red: Bad
The display itself can also be set to show PM1.0, PM2.5, or PM10 readings, or your overall clean air percentage, so you can keep tabs on your indoor air at a glance.
You can turn the display off manually, and sleep mode also switches it off automatically. In the companion app, you can enable a light detection feature that turns the display off when the room gets dark and also lets the purifier run more quietly while in auto mode. The companion app also lets you remotely adjust the fan speed, set schedules and timers, monitor filter life, and check air quality information.
This unit uses a three-stage filtration setup. The washable pre-filter catches larger debris like dust, lint, hair, and pet fur before it hits the main filter, and since it's washable, you can just rinse it off and reuse it if you've got shedding pets. The main particle filter is built to trap much finer airborne contaminants like pollen, dust, and pet dander. Levoit claims 99.97% filtration efficiency for particles between 0.1 and 0.3 microns, which is in line with HEPA filtration, a standard requiring filters to capture at least 99.97% of 0.3 micron particles. That said, since this filter isn't HEPA certified, we can't classify it as one.
The last stage relies on pellet-based activated carbon to help reduce smoke and everyday household odors from cooking, cigarettes, and pets. Levoit also markets it as being able to handle compounds like formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide

This unit delivers a lot of clean air at its Turbo setting, with a high CADR that makes it suitable for larger rooms like living rooms or open concept spaces. It can clear airborne particles quickly when you need faster filtration, like after cooking or when particle levels suddenly spike.
At Speed 2, this unit delivers enough clean airflow to cover a medium-sized room while keeping noise fairly low. That gives you some room to push filtration performance up a notch without making the purifier too distracting for everyday use.
The Levoit EverestAir-P runs very quietly on its lowest setting. Sleep mode is the quietest option, so it works well in bedrooms or home offices where you don't want the fan noise pulling your attention. It gets noticeably louder at the highest fan speed, but that's still a reasonable trade-off given how powerful this air purifier is.
