What reviewers say about the Levoit Core 400S
Only one whitelisted tester produced verifiable readable review text: Tom's Guide, whose hands-on (not lab) review calls the Core 400S the 'ideal air purifier' - stylish, quiet, and fun to use, clearing stovetop smoke in about 10 minutes. The reviewer explicitly states Tom's Guide could not scientifically lab-test the filtration claims, so no measured lab data is available.

The Levoit Core 400S is the ideal air purifier: stylish, quiet, efficient, inexpensive, voice-assistant-compatible and surprisingly fun to use.
When I accidentally burned something on the stove, the air-quality indicator lights turned red, the PM2.5 readout went over 200, the fan revved up like a hot rod and the Levoit Core 400S sucked all the smoke out of the air in about 10 minutes.
Replacement filters for the Core 400S cost $50 each. Keep in mind that you may have to replace the filters as often as every 6 months, so you should factor that into your air-cleaning budget.
