The Levoit Core 600S is a higher-end air purifier intended for larger spaces. It's considerably bigger than other models in Levoit's Core model lineup and uses a more powerful 49W motor. That aside, it does share a similar range of convenience features, with a built-in air quality sensor, smartphone app integration, and support for voice commands made through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant devices. Unlike cheaper Core models, it also features a built-in light sensor that automatically dims its display in dark rooms.

Our Verdict

8.3 Pets

The Levoit Core 600S is great for pet owners. It does a fantastic job of trapping smaller airborne allergens, even in larger rooms, and the activated carbon layer in its filter system can help minimize odors. Its smartphone app integration also lets you control it while you're away from home. That said, it makes quite a bit of noise when running at higher fan speeds, so you might want to keep it away from your pet if they're sensitive to loud noises.

Pros
  • Wide array of convenience features.
  • Excellent overall filtration performance.
  • Companion app integration.
Cons
  • Noisy at higher fan speeds.
  • Bulky form factor.
7.7 Bedroom

The Levoit 600S is good for bedrooms, though it could be considered slightly overkill for small spaces. It boasts fantastic overall filtration performance. The built-in light sensor also automatically turns off the display once you've turned the lights off in your room. While it's quite loud at its highest fan speed, it doesn't make all that much noise in its 'Sleep' mode, though this will hurt performance.

Pros
  • Wide array of convenience features.
  • Excellent overall filtration performance.
  • Built-in light sensor.
  • Companion app integration.
Cons
  • Noisy at higher fan speeds.
  • Bulky form factor.

Changelog

  1. Updated Oct 31, 2024: Converted to Test Bench 1.0.1.
  2. Updated Jun 25, 2024: Following user feedback, we've updated the text in the 'Filter Configuration' section of the review to remove any mention of HEPA filtration, as the manufacturer no longer advertises its main filter as being HEPA-rated.
  3. Updated May 13, 2024: Review published.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

This air purifier is available in two color variants: 'Gray' and 'White.' We tested the 'White' model.

Let us know in the comments if you come across another variant of this air purifier.

Compared To Other Air Purifiers

The Levoit 600S is a Wi-Fi-enabled air purifier intended for use in large rooms. It offers excellent overall filtration performance and has a wide range of convenience features that make for a hands-free user experience. That said, this model's very large footprint makes it a bit of a hassle to place, so the smaller, cheaper Levoit Core 400S might be the better option for smaller spaces.

If you're interested in other options, you can see our recommendations for the best air purifiers for pets, the best large room air purifiers, and the best air purifiers for bedrooms.

The ring of lights around the power button changes color based on current air quality:

  • Blue: Very good
  • Green: Good
  • Yellow: Moderate
  • Red: Bad

Tapping the 'Display Off' button turns off all of the device's indicator lights and the night light. On that subject, the night light features two levels of brightness. The 600S also has a light sensor, which automatically triggers the Display Off function if it detects that it's been put in a dark room. The device's lights will also automatically illuminate if you turn the lights on in a dark room. However, it's important to note that you have to enable this function through the VeSync smartphone app.

The VeSync companion app also allows you to remotely adjust the device's fan speed, set operating schedules, and send filter replacement reminders. You can also use it to view a real-time estimate of air quality.

Pellets

This air purifier has a three-stage filter system comprised of a pre-filter for trapping larger airborne particles, a primary filter for dust and mold, and an Activated Carbon filter for minimizing odors. You'll only need to clean the pre-filter with a soft-bristle dusting brush or a vacuum regularly, but make sure not to damage any other parts of the filter system when doing so.

You'll need to replace this filter assembly every six to 12 months, and you can find a replacement here.

    can you review the 32ohm and 80ohm as well?

    Hi there,

    We currently do not plan on getting the 32ohm or 80ohm versions of these headphones as they are 2020 models. That said, we will consider this when purchasing future products with different ohm variants.

  2. This product has been merged with Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm Grey and DT Hardcase. Follow the discussion here.

    The DT770 pro are known to be very good in terms of exterior noise isolation due to construction and velour pad size. I do not see this reflected in this review.

    Hey there, We’re comparing the DT 770 PRO to every other set of headphones from our tested arsenal, including active noise cancelling (ANC) headphones when they’re scored. The measurement and score are relative to not just passive isolating headphones but also ANC headphones, which are going to generally score better because they cancel low frequencies that passive isolation doesn’t, even on well-reputed headphones like the DT 770 PRO. With that in mind, it makes more sense to compare like with like, for instance, other closed-back Beyerdynamic headphones. You’ll notice other passive isolating closed-backs by the brand also have similar scores. However, it’s a fair point you’ve made that the review doesn’t add that context when seeing the score. Hope that helps make better sense of the score for you. Thanks
