The two halves of the unit then click to lock together. There is a bright yellow sticker on the top of the unit that prompts you to do this before use. Setup involves twisting apart the top and bottom halves of the air purifier’s body, extracting the filter that it comes with from inside, and removing its packaging before popping it back in place. The lower half of the purifier features a fretwork effect, and contains the filter and the bag into which particles sucked in by the fan are deposited. In the centre of the fan are the Levoit 600S’ controls and options to change the fan speed, set a timer, check on the filter and current air quality, and determine whether it is connected to Wi-Fi or using Bluetooth for the associated VeSync app. Looks-wise, the Levoit 600S is smart with a sleek curved body and large fan blades covering the top. The well-positioned recessed handles on either side of the upper section also make it easy to move around. And, while it weighs 6.2kg, it feels far lighter. However, the curved design and off-white finish are stylish, and the materials sturdy. We found this particularly true when we were in the more cramped environment of our terraced home. If space is at a premium, you will probably want to store it out of sight and bring it out for specific use rather than keeping it on standby. Placed alongside our microwave, it dwarfed it. While its 300S stablemate sits happily and fairly unobtrusively on a kitchen countertop, the 600S model is a real presence. The imposing but elegant Levoit 600S seems to take up more room than its stated 60cm height suggests. (Image credit: Future / Rosie Hattersley) Levoit 600S: Design Levels of less than 12μg/m3 should pose no health issues, and we were pleased to find that the existing levels in the first of the two properties in which we tested out the air purifier were already below this figure. These can all irritate and, in the longer term, damage the lungs and impact respiratory function. This covers the fine dust, pollen and pet hair as well as road traffic pollution and pollen. The Levoit 600S promises to filter as much as 99.97% of PM2.5 particles (particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometre diameter). Once cleansed, the air is sent back out into the room, leading to a fresher atmosphere. An electrostatic or fabric filter captures these as they are blown towards them by the air purifier’s gentle fan mechanism and, as with the Levoit 600S model, are collected in a disposable bag at the bottom of the device. They differ from fans, which waft the air around at speed, creating a cooling effect, instead extracting impurities and particulates that cause smells and cause germs.
