What we like about LEVOIT LV-PUR131S

  • Effective 3-stage True HEPA and carbon filtration that noticeably reduces dust, pet dander, and common allergens
  • Whisper-quiet sleep mode operating at 27dB makes it ideal for bedrooms
  • Convenient smart app (VeSync) and voice controls via Alexa or Google Assistant
  • Real-time air quality indicator with an auto mode that adjusts fan speed based on dust levels
  • Highly energy efficient with low power consumption
  • Functional control panel with a dimmer option to completely turn off the display lights at night

What we don't like about LEVOIT LV-PUR131S

  • High long-term maintenance costs due to expensive replacement filters
  • The smart air sensor detects dust particles but struggles to read or react automatically to smells and smoke
  • Underpowered and slow air delivery speed compared to some competitors at the same price point
  • Can become noticeably loud when running at its maximum manual fan setting
  • Lacks a dedicated, separate washable pre-filter for catching larger debris
  • Lacks physical conveniences such as a built-in carrying handle or a child lock

Verdict

The LEVOIT LV-PUR131S is a smart air purifier featuring a 3-stage filtration system—including a pre-filter, an H13 True HEPA filter capturing 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, and a pellet-based activated carbon filter. Designed for medium-to-large spaces, it covers an effective range of up to 48 square metres (516 square feet) with a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 230 cubic metres per hour (135 CFM) and consumes a maximum of 40 Watts. Main pros include built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi for smart app scheduling, voice control compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant, a quiet sleep mode operating at 23–27 dB, and an automatic smart sensor that adjusts the 3-speed fan based on real-time air quality indicators. On the downside, some users note the pre-filter is not separately washable, it can become quite loud on its highest fan speed (up to 52–59 dB), the built-in sensor is less sensitive to lingering odors than particles, and its overall clean air output is somewhat lower compared to newer models at a similar price point.
