A wide, flat smart tower with a verified CADR, an air quality sensor and an app. Cleans a large living room.
Verdict
Who it's for
A flatter alternative to the round purifiers for a large living room. AHAM has verified its CADR, it has auto mode and app control, and the flat shape stands close to a wall.
Good
- CADR verified by AHAM
- Air quality sensor and auto mode
- Flat shape stands against a wall
- No ionizer
Trade-offs
- Heavier than the round Levoits of similar output
- Box headline is based on one air change an hour

The box vs the maths
The box says 1,862 sq ft173 m². It really cleans 381 sq ft35 m².
To clean 1,862 sq ft173 m² it would only change the air in the room 1 time an hour. We size every purifier at 4.8 air changes an hour, the level AHAM's room-size guideline works out to.
Levoit's figure is the room it can change the air of once an hour, and the wording says as much. That's a real number, but at one air change an hour smoke and pollen come back in nearly as fast as the purifier removes them.
425 m³/h smoke CADR ÷ (4.8 × 2.5 m ceiling) = 35.4 m² = 381 sq ft35.4 m²
Use the calculator for your exact room and ceiling, or read how we pick.
Drawn to scale: the box says “Changes the air in a 1862 ft2 room once per hour”, the purifier really cleans 381 sq ft, 4.9 times less.Drawn to scale: the box says “Changes the air in a 1862 ft2 room once per hour”, the purifier really cleans 35 m², 4.9 times less.
Room sizes
Which rooms it fits
It suits 215 sq ft20 m² and 269 sq ft25 m² rooms best: there it has 40–75% more air than the room needs, so it needn't run flat out. At 376 sq ft35 m² it only just keeps up (no air to spare), so it would run near its top speed, usually its loudest (why we don’t list noise). In rooms of 161 sq ft15 m² or less it's more than twice the size needed; a smaller model does the job.
Under a 2.7 m ceiling it covers 352 sq ft, under 3 m 317 sq ftUnder a 2.7 m ceiling it covers 32 m², under 3 m 29 m², so with a 3 m ceiling it no longer covers 322 sq ft30 m² or 376 sq ft35 m² (why).
For a 430 sq ft room or bigger it's too small, although the box claims 1,862 sq ft: the For a 40 m² room or bigger it's too small, although the box claims 173 m²: the 430 sq ft40 m² page lists models that cover it.
