At a glance, we observed that this air cleaner is quite tall but has a small footprint thanks to its 12-inch diameter. This air purifier is also quite heavy, which means that kids and older people will have some difficulties carrying or moving it around.
Purification Level and Type of Filter
The Levoit LV-H133 Air Purifier is designed to extract 99.97 % of particles as small as 0.3 microns from your indoor environment. To achieve this level of filtration, we discovered that this air purifier utilizes a circular filter that facilitates the three-stage purification process, which comprises the following:
Preliminary Filter
This is essentially the first stage of filtration. It comes in handy when looking to trap visible particles like lint, hair, fur, and fiber.
True HEPA filter
The Levoit LV-H133 Air Purifier utilizes an H13 grade HEPA filter that traps pollutants as small as 0.3 microns. These include pet dander, dust mites, lead dust, and pollen.
Activated Carbon Filter
This filtration stage removes odors from polishes, VOCs, smoke, and kitchen smell to leave you with fresh fragrance in your living space.
Coverage and Performance
The Levoit LV-H133 Air Purifier boasts a CFM of 274, which means that it moves 274 cubic feet of air per minute. With such power, it’s not a wonder to see this air cleanser cleaning spaces as large as 538 sq. ft. in 15 minutes! It has a power rating of 47 watts when operating and 0.8w on standby mode.
Due to this rating, you can expect to run the unit without a significant change on your power bill. We also appreciate this air purifier discreet operation; it produces 25dB noise on the lowest fan speed. However, the unit becomes louder on the highest fan speed, but the noise output doesn’t exceed 54 dB.
Usability
The Levoit LV-H133 Air Purifier flaunts a simplistic interface that features a touch-based control panel. Every function is well labeled, and the command requires a soft touch to function. It provides three fan speeds that allow you to control your indoor space’s purification rate depending on your needs.
We especially admire the following features that facilitate usability:
Sleep Mode and Display Off
These features allow the air purifier to operate discreetly by reducing the noise output and turning off the light, respectively. With these features, even the lightest of sleepers can enjoy a sound sleep.
Air Quality Indicator
This feature provides real-time information regarding your indoor air quality by changing colors from red, orange, green, and blue. These colors indicate bad, moderate, good, and excellent air quality, respectively.
Memory Function
This feature restores the air cleaner’s programmed settings after a power glitch
Timer
The timer programs the unit to operate for a specific number of hours between 1 and 12
Auto Mode
This mode of operation adjusts the fan speed automatically to high, medium, or low depending on the quality of your indoor air
Cleaning and Maintenance
We realized that maintaining optimal performance and efficiency on the Levoit LV-H133 Air Purifier is a piece of cake during our testing. Proper maintenance involves replacing the filter after 6-8 months of use or when the check light illuminates.
We also recommend cleaning the Air Quality sensor with a damp cloth to ensure that it works properly at all times. Also, ensure to clean the filter with a soft brush or compressed air.
Key Take-Away
Our evaluation of the Levoit LV-H133 Air Purifier persuades us to place it among the best units for cleaning your indoor atmosphere in large spaces. This air cleaner automatically detects your indoor air quality and adjusts the fan speeds to keep up with your cleaning requirements.
We also love the sleep mode and display-off features that make the unit the perfect addition for bedrooms, study areas, and baby rooms.
