Our Verdict

Levoit Core 300

Levoit Core 300S

On paper, the Levoit Core 300S is a straightforward evolution of the standard Levoit Core 300, retaining a similar compact design and overall air-cleaning performance while adding an air quality sensor, Wi-Fi connectivity, automatic fan speed adjustment, and full remote operation through its VeSync companion app. The 300S also uses a different motor that draws less power than the one found in the older Core 300. As a result, the newer model focuses more on convenience, automation, and energy efficiency than on delivering a significant increase in air-cleaning performance. For most users, the biggest differences between the two models will be the addition of smart features and fully automatic operation rather than any meaningful change in filtration capability.
