The Levoit Vital 200S-P is a smart air purifier for small, medium, and large rooms, currently on sale for $170, down from its original price of $200 .

I've tested many air purifiers, smart and not, yet the Levoit Vital 200S-P is the one I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for an air cleaner. I endorse the Vital 200S-P that I've had my siblings buy some for their own homes, and I still use mine daily, even years later.

This smart air purifier is easy to set up, user-friendly, reliable, and long-lasting. It's strong enough to clean the air in areas up to 1,875 square feet in just an hour, and its three-stage filtration system keeps my allergies at bay, even while working in my dog's preferred room.

I share my home office with my dog, who eats, drinks, and sleeps in the room with me. Unfortunately, I have dust and dog allergies, which get extremely annoying and cumbersome when I'm trying to get work done. I've used my Levoit Vital 200S-P in this room for a couple of years, and it's so good at keeping allergens in check that I don't suffer at all while working full days in there.
