Our Verdict

Levoit Vital 200S

Levoit Core 600S

The Levoit Core 600S is the better air purifier overall, but the Levoit Vital 200S is a strong alternative if you don't need as much coverage. Both models share many of the same conveniences, including app connectivity, automatic fan adjustment, and voice control, but the Core 600S delivers substantially higher airflow, letting it clean the air faster and hold up better in large living rooms, open-concept spaces, and studio apartments. The Vital 200S is built for smaller spaces, though it has a few practical advantages of its own: a washable pre-filter, a U-shaped air inlet designed to resist clogging from pet hair, and slightly quieter operation that makes it easier to live with in bedrooms and other frequently occupied spaces.
