Danny is such a good reviewer and it's great he started to review the more mid-range and higher-range products. I hope he reviews the Coway ProX. One of the downsides he missed with the Levoit EverestAir is the reverse order of the carbon filter. It's better if the carbon filter is ahead of the HEPA as that helps to increase their service life.
Thanks do the kind words and will look to do more higher end devices soon. Yes you make a good point, it would be better to have the carbon swapped , smart air does this right with their devices.
@@HouseFresh The Smart Air SA600 has the carbon filter after the HEPA like Levoit. Coway does it the other way round but they don't separate the carbon and the HEPA filters.

This is a great idea, and we will make sure we make this comparison when we review the Blueair Healthprotect. I do have an issue with Blueair's HEPAsilent technology as it uses an ionizer that you can't disable, but this might not be a feature in the latest models, so I will need to check. Which Blueair healthprotect model were you comparing it with?
Hi! Thank you for the review. May I ask you something not related to this air purifier? I noticed that you never test Philips air purifiers. Are they that bad? Or you only focused on US market?
@@ilia-tsvetkov I recently finished filming for the Philips 3000i and have the 800 series for testing. Had lots of people ask so knew I needed to test soon review should be out soon. Not bad by any stretch but I do have a few things i would like to see improved.
I was able to pick one up from amazon for $300 (I had $50 gift card). I am excited to try it out once it comes home. I am mainly looking for quiet air purifier that could also move air at lower speed. Which is limited. It was either Everest Air or Blue Air 221i Max. But I didn't like how fat and bulky Blueair looked.
@@subzound Ionization can lead to more dust around the device as it will make the particles heavier around the device. Whilst older ionization can lead to VOCs from ozone, the newer models don't have this issue and the ozone is removed before it leaves the device using the activated charcoal filter. I generally prefer not but it can be a fairly cheap way to get improve particle removal/odors when combined by always prefer it as an option not default as you see with Blueairs - HEPA Silent.
@@HouseFresh its interesting youve mentioned hepa silent bcause currently im using blueair 7710i. Tried levoit 600 before, got rid of it. It’s loud at times when got to max settings and i found the sensor not as sensitive as the blueair especially for dust & particles. Just from my experience
I live in a very small studio and have this unit on all the time, sometimes in turbo mode for hours, and my apartment still stinks of my neighbors’ cooking
I have my EverestAir running almost 24/7 and honestly my living space most certainly does not "feel like a breath of fresh mountain air." I wake up every day to the smell of cooking in my apartment despite this device running all day and night. Also, it's not true HEPA.
@@HouseFresh I’m mindful of when my filter needs changing. I change it out every five months, which is quite costly and sometimes even change it before it’s fully saturated.
@@alimabeane5400 wow 5 months that is a lot over $200 a year in filters! Is the cooking smell generated just from your apartment? What type of food are you cooking?
@@HouseFresh I ordered one in March and I'm going to be ordering another one in the next week or two. The next filter will probably last me until December. the cooking is from my neighbors. There is a tendency for some of my neighbors to burn food and then it just gets trapped in my small studio apartment and the purifier does not eliminate the smell. my apt has smelled smoky for at at least 15 hours now if not more
@@alimabeane5400 I'm sorry to hear that. My only suggestion would be to try test another device that has more carbon in the filter. The problem is that many devices with a lot of carbon - like the IQAir Healthpro Plus (with 5lbs) cost $900. What speed are you running the EverestAir?
Can you give me your best pick for: 750 Sq. Ft apt. Neighbors smoke and makes my apt smell like a smokey bar. I can't have Ionizer. Also has to be under $500.00. Thank you so much for any ideas.
Thank you! I purchased one unit because of your review here. I just have one question: On your website I can see that you rated the Everest Air sensor highly, can I use auto mode all the time for the air purifier to do it's own work? For auto mode, when the clean air percentage is higher than 90% it will turn to sleep mode. The lowest speed you mentioned on the video or website I believe it is speed 1 instead of sleep mode so I'm unsure if the sleep mode will be effective or not.
I haven’t tested sleep mode but as this device is so quiet you could leave it on speed 1 continuously for cleaning all the time. It really depends on the issue you are dealing with, auto can be good for situations where you have irregular times when pollutants occur like a kitchen but many auto modes will push for saving energy over continuous cleaning. Next time I run some tests I will look at how effective the sleep mode is for this device.
@HouseFresh Thanks for your effort in testing different air purifiers on the market. I'll definitely ask my friend to check your website and youtube channel when they're looking for air purifier! Hopefully, your channel will grow fast as you're giving us trusted review!
I think it depends on use case. Those with allergies, outdoor pollution, wildfire smoke or want to reduce respiratory virus risk will want to keep it running but it’s likely they will prefer to use as at a lower fan speed than top speed.
@@HouseFresh with all respect to your reviews, why don’t you try to run it at turbo for a year and let us know how you felt after this experiment/ experience. I put mine before going to sleep for 30 min and it is unpleasant to be there. Based on your reviews I bought 2 Vital 200s and 2 Everests and I’m very happy with them. I’m not trying to fight you on your methodology of testing but it should be the best case real life testing.
@@ZelmarDesignsfair point. Will look into including costs for lower fan speeds as well. We now do this for air cleaning performance tests as we had feedback that this was more normal usage so make sense to look at this for energy cost estimated. Thanks for the feedback I’m always looking at ways we can improve our testing methodology.

I mean it helps increase the life of the HEPA because it acts as an additional prefilter.

Hi Danny, Thank you for your testing. I want to buy Levoit, and I'm just considering EverestAir or 600.
Which one is the best?
The everestair is pricier but it’s the one I would choose due to its design style and removal pre filter.
Thank you. You made me decide which Levoit I wanted.
Glad to help!

Nobody ever would use it at 100% all the time. On automatic is the most common use and electrical cost is close to nothing.
I think it depends on use case. Those with allergies, outdoor pollution, wildfire smoke or want to reduce respiratory virus risk will want to keep it running but it’s likely they will prefer to use as at a lower fan speed than top speed.

Does it work for pet fur 😅
Should be good for pet hair. You likely find you need to clean the pre filter more often but this has a good removal pre-filter.
