Levoit Core Mini: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Tiny & light: 1 kg and 26 cm tall, fits on a bedside table, desk or shelf
- 25 dB on level 1: quiet enough to run right next to the bed
- Just 7 watts: even continuous use costs under €20 in electricity a year
- Aroma function: pad for fragrance oils, air purifier and discreet diffuser in one
- Cheap filters: replacement filter approx. €18, low purchase and running costs
Points of criticism
- Small rooms only: CADR approx. 58 m³/h, barely noticeable effect in a living room
- No automatic mode: without a sensor and auto mode it simply runs at the chosen level
- No timer: switching on/off only manually, anyone who wants convenience pays €25 more for the Xiaomi
