Levoit’s new air purifier is for the pet odors that have taken over your apartment
This $189.99 air purifier is specifically designed to tackle pet odors, removing up to 70% in one hour.
Levoit recently introduced the Vital Pet Pro Air Purifier, a specialized device designed to combat pet-related odors and fur commonly found in homes with pets. Priced at $189.99, the purifier utilizes a three-stage filtration system that includes a washable pre-filter, a main filter, and an activated carbon filter, with the latter specifically targeting odors. The device features a unique U-shaped air inlet aimed at capturing airborne pet hair while enhancing airflow and preventing clogged filters.
During a week-long test, the purifier proved highly effective in collecting fur and trapping debris that typically accumulates in apartments or settles onto furniture. While exact odor removal percentages cannot be verified, users noted a noticeable improvement in air freshness. A standout feature is the automatic cleaning technology, which gathers hair and debris from the pre-filter into a removable tray, minimizing the need for frequent manual cleaning.
The companion app offers several modes to simplify usage. Auto Plus Mode dynamically adjusts performance based on real-time air quality, while Pet Mode is tailored to manage pet-related particles. This mode alternates between high-speed fan operation for 15 minutes to capture particles and a low-speed setting for 60 minutes to maintain air quality, balancing performance with noise and energy efficiency.
Air quality is indicated through a color system: red signifies poor air quality, orange denotes moderate quality, green indicates good quality, and cyan represents very good quality. This color-coded system provides quick visual feedback on air purity without the need for numerical readings.
In terms of aesthetics and functionality, the Vital Pet Pro is larger than expected, requiring sufficient floor space. Regarding noise, the purifier operates at a noticeable volume at its highest setting. However, as the fan slows down, it becomes quiet enough for overnight use without disturbing sleep. A Sleep Mode further reduces noise levels, making it suitable for light sleepers. The air purifier is available for purchase on Levoit’s official website, Amazon, Chewy, and various other retailers.
