Why it matters
The Levoit Vital 100 Air Purifier is a compact / desktop air purifier that its maker rates for 300 sq ft and a CADR of 105 CFM.
At the usual 4.8 air changes an hour and an 8-foot ceiling, a 300-square-foot rating implies about 192 cubic feet of clean air a minute. In a 12-by-15-foot bedroom that would turn the air over roughly 8 times an hour.
Quietest setting, per the maker: 23 dB.
Price-wise it sat in the middle third of the 30 compact / desktop models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
It qualifies for our lists Best Air Purifiers for Baby Nurseries, Best Air Purifiers for Apartments and Dorms, where it is ranked against every model that meets the same rule.
Its rated room size of 300 square feet is one of the smallest ratings we cover: 21 of the 152 purifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 62 square feet to 4,800 square feet.
