Honeywell HPA100 Vs Levoit Core 300 Air Purifier – Actual Comparation

Given that the Levoit Core 300 and Honeywell HPA100 are miniature versions of air-purifying appliances, today’s comparison could be considered a tiny appliances edition. Despite their first dissimilarities, these air purifiers are far more similar.

First, in terms of the area they cover, Levoit has a small advantage because it can cover up to 219 square feet, whereas the Honeywell can only manage 155 square feet. Even if the plastic used to build both Levoit and Honeywell air purifiers is of middling quality, you won’t be disappointed because they complement both black and white interior designs.

Although neither of these air purifiers has any unique features that would set them apart, it doesn’t make them any less beneficial. What matters is that 100% of Levoit and Honeywell’s filters are ozone free and of excellent quality.

Features Overview

As I was saying at the beginning, these two air purifiers will not give you plenty of additional features, yet there are all the basic ones to make them more than just useful and qualitative.

For example, I liked that Levoit Core has a sleep mode and a child lock, while Honeywell HPA100 amazed me with the dimmer feature. 

Now, let’s dive into more specific elaboration.

Filter Reset Indicator

The filter reset indication is probably something you’ve already heard about if you’re interested in air purifiers. A really useful feature, in your opinion? It forces you to rely on a basic indicator to tell you when the filter in your air purifier needs to be changed.

I would think that Honeywell has a bit of a unique problem with this indicator. To be more precise, there are two of them. One is the check filter indicator, which alerts you when it’s time to replace your True HEPA filter. The other is a check pre-filter, which is connected to both an odor-reducing combo filter and a pre-filter. I seem to have piqued your curiosity in Honeywell filters.

Conversely, the filter reset indicator is used in a little more straightforward manner in the Levoit Core 300. It will be evident when the light turns on that the filter needs to be changed.

One item that caught my attention is that Levoit employs 3-in-1 filters, but Honeywell uses separate filters.

Sleep Mode

As previously stated, the Levoit Core 300 is the only device that offers the sleep mode feature—the Honeywell HPA100 does not. This choice gives Levoit the role of barely there, like when you slumber in the afternoon. And all of that is possible because to QuietKEAP technology.

Timer

You vacuumed a little, but do you still think the work isn’t done? Simply set the timer and switch on your air purifier. In this manner, you won’t have to worry about forgetting to turn it off. This capability is shared by the Honeywell HPA100 and Levoit Core 300. Levoit offers a 6h option, while Honeywell allows you to choose the purification time to either 2h, 4h, or 8h.

Display Off / Dimmer

With all of the buttons and lights, air purifiers can occasionally resemble DJ decks. That being said, there is another button to push if you want to turn off the indication lights. This feature, which has three adjustment levels, is found in the Honeywell HPA100 dimmer. Levoit Core 300 only requires one press of the display off button to completely dim all of its indicators.

Child Lock

If you have kids or a nosy acquaintance, as it were, the child lock feature is a rather handy choice. Essentially, once you select this option, all (un)intentional button presses will not harm your air purifier.

Airflow

These two air purifiers differ greatly in terms of airflow, primarily because of variations in structure.

Due to the Honeywell HPA100’s rectangular design, frontal filtering is used. The appliance’s bottom is where the suction holes are situated. The air is disseminated through the perforations on the upper side after passing through filters.

Levoit Core 300, like Honeywell, has a voided filter that contours to its cylindrical form. The air passes through a filter as it moves bottom-up.

Warranty

As it was for me, I’m sure you’ll find this to be a nice surprise. One benefit of purchasing the Honeywell HPA100 is that it comes with a five-year warranty. Yes, I did hear you clearly!

On the other hand, you will only receive coverage for two years if you decide to purchase Levoit Core 300. There is a catch, though. You must register immediately after the purchase on the Levoit website in order to receive a full guarantee.

Filtration Technology

Levoit Core 300 and Honeywell HPA100 differ from one another not just in terms of shape (rectangular vs. cylindrical), but also in terms of the number of filter stages. Levoit has three phases, compared to the first one, Honeywell, which has two.

These two air purifiers, like many others, are equipped with an initial pre-filter. Honeywell is the only brand with an odor-reducing combination and pre-filter. It serves as an odor-neutralizing agent in addition to keeping all the large particles from getting through the True HEPA filter. Conversely, the Levoit Core 300 pre-filter is a nylon mesh pre-filter that also serves as a protective layer. This filter will capture any large dust particles, hair, or dander, shielding the other filters.

As usual, I advise you to perform a thorough cleansing on these pre-filters at least once a month to maintain them clean. In this manner, you preserve its excellent performance and lengthen its lifespan.

In terms of purification, a True HEPA filter comes in second in both air purifiers. Unquestionably, True HEPA’s role as the primary filter accounts for the exceptional performance displayed by the Levoit Core 300 and Honeywell HPA100. The True HEPA filter could block nearly 100% of minuscule allergens. That’s how excellent it is.

Levoit’s carbon filter with a pellet basis is responsible for the final filtration step. To be honest, I found this filter to be far more effective than the one Honeywell employs in conjunction with the pre-filter.

Although I believe Honeywell should focus on improving its carbon filter, the integrated filters in both air purifiers are fairly effective.
