Levoit LV-H126 review

Cheap to own and maintain with filter replacement set cost less than $15.
Compact and lightweight with a unique blue denim alike style front panel.
Acceptable purifying coverage for its category.
Use true HEPA filter that can target 0.3 microns size particles.
2 years warranty even at this price point.

Not the best in airflow delivery rate.
Plain unit with no addon features. Use traditional filter reminder wheel rather than sensor-based reminder.
Odor removal is not great despite the inclusion of activated carbon filter.

The only compact air purifier in the list that has a blue, denim-style front panel. Levoit LV-H126 is a compact air purifier with simple design combined with a lightweight housing. Fitting is standard for air purifier of its class; interface panel are neatly placed with dial knob that allows simple usage without any type of difficulty. Levoit LV-H126 body configuration is seamlessly constructed that has hardly any gaps or crooked parts. In other words, this air purifier should be durable enough to withstand some harsh usage.

Airflow effectiveness and purifying coverage

This is the where Levoit LV-H126 air purifier might not stands out. Most ideal for small sized room, airflow delivery rate is not great but the all round purifying applicable radius is rather OK. That is to say, Levoit LV-H126 purifying coverage is highly recommended for bedside table or bedroom use. The better side to Levoit LV-H126 is the combined 3-stage filtration that should have no problem taking out nearby air particles. Its True HEPA filter will effectively trap air contaminants, allergens and microbes from lingering around the home.

Noise level and power consumption

Levoit LV-H126 compact body structure help reduce noise generated from the fan to a minimum grade. Noise level is quite soft at low fanspeed, average at medium fanspeed and audible at high fan speed. Expect reasonable level of noise level from Levoit LV-H126 despite its low airflow delivery rate. Next, power consumption is truly low at all speed. You will most certainly not get stress by the electrical bills on standard utilization of Levoit LV-H126. When compare to usual household appliances, the all round power usage is low.

Final thoughts on Levoit LV-H126

To sum up, Levoit LV-PUR131 might not be a top-tier air purifier that you could fully rely upon, it still does the job in purifying its surrounding air with little problems. In comparison with the advantages vs disadvantages, the upsides is an extra bonus while the downsides is more or less expected for its category. If you are on a tight budget and know what you are looking for, this air purifier might be worthy of your consideration.

Levoit LV-H126 3-stage filtration and purifying applicable area is outstanding when go up against allergens, microorganisms. It is very effective on large airborne contaminants especially dust, pet hair. Then again against tiny, micron-size contaminants, Levoit LV-H126 3 speed airflow intake/ outtake + is fine at taking out pollen, mold, mildew, pet dander and dust mites. On smokes, odors and fumes, Levoit LV-H126 filtration is inadequate in resolving VOCs chemicals, tobacco smokes and cigarette odors.

Final thoughts on Levoit LV-H126

Bring to a conclusion, we are happy with Blueair 605 overall performance bar the price. It seems 83% of the 4-5 stars reviewers agreed with us. Most praises coming from the abundances of airflow that pulls in anything from the path. The outstanding smoke and odor filtration are another regular praises. Lastly, people love how Blueair manage to make a difference against seasonal allergies. As for the bad part, there are around 10% for the unhappy 1-2 stars reviewers. Most have their concern on the noxious chemical smell emitted from the air purifier. Other minor complains include Wi-Fi pairing problem, faulty unit, and filter replacement cost. Compare to the advantages/ disadvantages, there are definitely more things to look forward. We did not encounter any of the above issues in our test unit. If you have a concern with the chemical smells, contact Blueair before purchasing one.
