Design And Usability
The best housekeeper for the family in providing clean air. LEVOIT Vital 100 is a very well-made air purifier with a rather compact dimension. At a 12.8 x 16.1 x 6.4 inches in size and a 9.3 lb weight, the sleek design will fit well in a modern interior home without taking too much space. For those that rely on a single unit, grab on the handles and effortlessly move it around for room-to-room purifying. The air inlets are located at the sides with a top air outlet next to the control panel. It can be placed near the wall or bedside with no airflow disruption.
Moving to the easy to use controls, Levoit offers a familiar setup that requires no learning curve. You can adjust the 3 fan speeds, set the 3 preset timers, turn off all indicator lights, and reset the filter change indicator (after you replace it with a brand new filter). The beautifully designed LED display will show you your setting status including the timer hours left before the air purifier will be shut down.
Moving to the passive features, LEVOIT Vital 100 is ETL listed, CARB, and FCC Certified. It passes the CA PROP 65 ozone limits and can be sold in California. If you have any issues with the products, California-based customer service can get you sorted. A convenient that sadly not many brands could provide at this point in time. Comes in either black or white, the fitting quality is the same regardless of which version you go for. LEVOIT Vital 100 will definitely last longer than the 1+1 warranty provided by the manufacturer.
