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.

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!!

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

As an adult I've developed some allergies and I was having trouble breathing freely at night. After some research I have found this product. I set up this product in my bedroom And now I can breath easily ever since. So glad I gave it a try!!! Highly Recommended

thought these products were a bit dodgy , but to my surprise it works great being using just over a week and already feeling the benefits , waking each morning with a clear head is great should have bought one years ago , if you have night time sinus probs or wake up with that stuffing feeling . this item has had me clear everyday highly recommended .

Great little unit for clearing out odors in the apartment. Purchased primarily to assist in managing odor and cooking fragrances in a small unit during winter, where it's less desirable to be opening windows to 'air out' when you have the heater on. The air purifier has no smart stats or detection software - which is fine; we knew what we were purchasing, the more involved or potentially sensitive buyer should look at higher tiers if they want the particle count and detection in their units. Noise wise, at the lower fan setting it is very quiet, something you can easily have run at night without too much disruption to your sleep cycle - on the loudest it is like a PS4 on maximum fan and can be quite noisey but i am sure for most scenarios where you need it, it's only for a short time. To date we have used this to help manage the odors from heater units (that burnt dusty smell), cooking from the stove top and finally general air circulation in the home office. Next step is for spring when the pollen hits - hopefully be able to manage the pollen levels within the house during said season. Overall highly recommend this for your entry level users and even more mature who know what they want and need.

I've had the air purifier for about a month now in my bedroom and I can tell this has made a huge difference. I used to wake up feeling super congested and whenever I would walk into my room it never felt 'fresh' since I have carpet, and an indoor cat that is almost always in my room. I leave this on all night and it's right next to my bed and I've never had an issue with it being too noisy (I only ever really have it on level 1 or 2 though). I highly recommend this product, I don't know how I would survive without it now.

I am very impressed with this air purifier. It is the first time I have ever owned one and I found it such an easy process. My main concern was the noise and brightness as I am a light sleeper however it is so quiet when on the '1' setting overnight and you can turn the lights completely off. I find its a great size to move room to room and I've already noticed my allergies reduce over 2 weeks. Highly recommend.

Easy to assemble and read instructions. Only problem is there’s no timer but that’s minor. Has night light if needed. Husband loves it. His coughing has decreased immensely. Recommend highly.
