Good product at a fantastic price
Reviewed in Australia on 5 June 2019
This air purifier does a great job to clean a bedroom’s air from allergens and dust. This seems to be a rebranded popular Levoit one used from Amazon US to work on 230/240volt electricity. Replacement filters currently can be found by searching for “LV-132 Replacement filter”.
I used a power meter and at the lowest setting it is ultra quiet (can barely hear it) and uses only 16 watts. At medium setting it sounds like a desk fan and uses 26 watts. At the highest setting it sounds like a desk fan on a high setting and uses 48-52 watts.
Note: Before first use, you need to open the bottom of it and take off the plastic wrapping protecting the air filter!

Not as quiet as other reviewers claim but overall decent product.
Reviewed in Australia on 13 February 2020
My 3/5 is simply because it's a 'good' product, it doesn't have any particular stand out features in particular.
First and foremost we should talk about the noise and where in my own house i've put it. So it recommends 40cm of space all round which is no problem I have a table at the end of my 5m x 4.2m bedroom and I put it on that table's corner with nothing around it. On the smallest fan speed (it has 3) it's bearable during the day but quite loud at night when there's no external noises to deal with. I would say that it's about the same as putting my big dyson bladeless dc fan on it's low/medium settings downstairs in our living room. It's audible and very much so. Not sure if it's much of a measure to go by but even during the day with the door open (and as it stands it's within 1m of my open door directly I can go out into the hall which leads straight on with no curves and hear it right at the end possibly 10m+ away. That's on 1. For example it's lightly raining in Sydney right now and I have it on at its lowest setting but I can't hear the rain on my roof, but the bird calls are coming through the white noise no problem.
On 3 I can hear it from downstairs. So idk if the other reviewers run blow driers all day but it's nowhere near as silent as they claim. That being said I've been worked like a mule this week and I did actually manage to fall asleep with it on but honest to god I would've knocked off even with a rock band playing downstairs.
It doesn't make any rackets or weird noises, it's just the wind noise which speaks of its quality. You'd probably be hard pressed to find a similar product in Australia under $200 with the same spec sheet as this. One thing I have to admit is that regardless of the 'silence' it works. My neighbors recently had their first child and its bedroom is right next to mine almost, it cries at 1-3-5-6am so I can no longer sleep with my windows open and by habit I sleep with my door closed too. Without this on in the morning there's no difference between a field of manure and the air in my room. This entire week of trying this filter the air is still a little stuffy because in the end it's the same thing rotated through a few thousand times over night but it's extremely noticeable improvement. No odor, and it breathes super easily. I change my own car's hepa filter because it's easy and saves a few hundred every time in service fees and the one in this unit looks just as great, goes from fine dust mesh, to hepa air filter to something like charcoal hexagonal pods. Considering the price and also the availability of replacement filters this is a heck of deal.
So we've done one negative and one positive, no it's not nearly as quiet as you'd hope even on it's lowest setting but yes you can sleep to the white noise if necessary and YES it works.
Let's talk about what you get for $200. A (so far) quality unit with no noises other than airflow, plastic tube body and overall decent design but quite bulky definitely no metal anywhere to be seen. A blue night light that is near useless (for me at least) that turns on every time you turn it off and on again (super annoying). You get a filtration cartridge that's INCREDIBLY easy to remove and relatively cheap to replace. But that's it. No smart features, I hooked it up to one of my smart plugs thinking I could get it to switch on and off but it doesn't have any onboard memory to remember the previous settings before the last power off thus the blue night light turning on every time. Considering what the competition has been able to do for years in terms of remote access, schedule tuning and timing this thing is excessively primitive and manual.
Before purchasing it I had thought that for $200 it was a great deal and for some it is, but the overall lack of features can be a turn off for some. That being said I can see this as being a great unit for those that prefer pressing buttons over 'smart' features.

Noticed the difference within a hour and feeling alot better what a life saver this unit is, highly recommend this to anybody who is looking for air purifier for their bedrooms. It does excellent job at cleaning the air including dusts. You would want to keep the fan speed on 1 while you go to sleep as fan speed 2 is abit noisy and fan speed 3 is alot noisy but good to use in the day time. I put fan speed 3 in the day time, and then at night I use fan speed 1.
UPDATED: Running this great little unit 24/7 for the last 3 months and have to say I'm quite surprised how much it collects on the filter which you can see in the photo. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Just bought this AV-P152 Air Purifier and I’m definitely love it! I can’t even imagine how it’s awesome to live without sneezing and carrying all day long because of an allergy (everyone who has such problem will understand me).
Design is really awesome, and perfect for my bedroom. Make sure you take-off the plastic of the filters before first use. RECOMMENDED

This Air purifier sucks up all the bad air and dust and turns them into the fresh air, easy to operate and easy to change the filter.
I have this arovec air Purifier since a month, and we were overwhelmed by the dust and the fur which collected in their filters, these dust and fur harms our health over a period of time.
The purpose of this machine is to reduces the dust and keeps the odor away, and it does the job really well. the machine runs 24/7 and it does not have any problem. I set up at speed 1 at night and it is ultra quite.
There's a huge difference before and after I run the purifier, there is no more wet dog smells, I breathe much better and my kids sleep well through the night without waking up because of the stuffy nose.
The dust on the HEPA filter can be vacuumed clean weekly but you have to change it if it has a bad smell. I am going to buy another filter for my purifier, you can search for that “AV-P152-RF”.
OMG, I can't believe how amazing this device is! look at all the dust! I can never be imaging how much dust we've breathed before without it!
I vacuumed the floor daily. However, the only thing I cannot clean is the air quality. thankful to this machine!

I'm a smoker, but my partner quite a while ago and I live in an apartment - where people were complaining about the smoke!! I bought this little purifier (about the size of a small oval trash you might have in your bathroom), and I put it on my side table. The Purifier sucked in the smokes and clean the air really well. Since I purchased this neither my partner, nor my neighbours have complained about my smoking! The clean air coming out of the top is quite impressive, and provides a strong air flow.
On Highest speed fan its loud. So I just run it on highest mode when I'm not home, but when I'm here, speed 2 is barely noticeable and Speed 1 is perfect for night.
Highly Recommended

This is a fantastic air cleaner. I'm a heavy smoker and it certainly does the job making the house smell nice. I am very happy with this product. Easy to set up, it has very beautiful nightlight which is 2 brightness setting and even turn off.
Nice Build quality, filters have a nice firm fit and very easy to change.
I like it so much definitely will get another one for my living room. I love that it has 2 year warranty too.

Two members of my family had been suffering with an unknown allergen. Since we start using this Arovec Air Purifier felt better and better day by day. Absolutely the best Air Purifier. Felt great difference when walking into the room. Definitely will buy another one for my other room. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Cleans the air in the home and helps to alleviate some of the smells associated with animals etc, I am happy with the unit so far but is still early days. I have used a purifier for many years and illness and germ related sickness is a rare thing in our house, on the whole i think that they are a reasonably good investment in health and hay fever protection although the latter is not a problem we have.

I have to admit I ordered this product because it was the only one I could get delivered quickly and I was really suffering from Canberra’s current hazardous smoky air from the numerous bushfires blazing in NSW.
It is great, in about a day, I went from wheezing and coughing (even though I was staying inside or wearing masks when I went out) almost back to normal. A week later I feel great - I have not turned the machine off since I bought it, and it is going strong. At first I moved it around the house to clear the air, but now I keep it in the bedroom. It is portable and priced reasonably for a true hepa air purifier and has a night light which I’m actually finding useful when I get up at night.
I have already recommended it to other friends who are having similar issues to me. Also delivery was earlier than promised which I greatly appreciated.
