Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Levoit Core 300 ist ein schlichter HEPA-Luftreiniger, der Schlafzimmer bis etwa 15 m² zuverlässig reinigt und im Schlafmodus leise genug für die Nacht läuft. Der Haken: kein Feinstaubsensor, keine Automatik, dazu für seine Leistung hoher Stromverbrauch. Kauf ihn nur, wenn er klar günstiger als der Core 300S ist.

Pros

  • Reinigt Schlaf- und Arbeitszimmer bis etwa 15 m² zuverlässig
  • Schlafmodus mit 37 bis 40 dB, Leuchten ganz abschaltbar
  • Einfache Bedienung mit Timer bis 8 h und Tastensperre
  • Filterwechselanzeige, Filtervarianten mit mehr Aktivkohle erhältlich
  • Steuerung per App, Alexa und Google Assistant

Cons

  • Kein Feinstaubsensor, keine Automatik und keine Luftqualitätsanzeige
  • Bis zu 35,5 W auf Stufe 3, der Core 300S braucht 21,8 W
  • Standardfilter bindet Küchen- und Katzenklogerüche kaum
  • Stufe 3 mit 50 bis 56 dB zu laut zum Arbeiten oder Fernsehen
  • Auf Stufe 2 dauert die Reinigung eines kleinen Raums 78 min

Der Philips Luftreiniger 900 Serie ist ein sparsames Gerät für kleine Zimmer: Auf der Mittelstufe reinigt er bei 42 dB rund 12 m², auf Turbo gut 20 m², nicht die beworbenen 65 m². Die Air+ App ist übersichtlich, der Filter hält 12 Monate. Der Haken: gegen Gerüche hilft er kaum, und zwischen leisem Schlafmodus und hörbarer Mittelstufe fehlt eine Zwischenstufe.

Pros

  • Rund 155 m³/h bei 42 dB, genug für Räume um 12 m²
  • Sparsam: 6,9 W auf Mittel, knapp 20 W auf Turbo
  • Übersichtliche Air+ App mit Zeitplänen, Timer und ohne Werbung
  • Filter FY0910 hält 12 Monate, für kleine Rundgeräte lang
  • Schlafmodus mit knapp 35 dB, Leuchten ganz abschaltbar
  • Erkennt Zigarettenrauch nach etwa 15 Sekunden

Cons

  • Reicht realistisch für rund 20 m² statt beworbener 65 m²
  • Aktivkohle hilft kaum gegen Koch- und Essensgerüche
  • Nur drei Stufen, schon Mittel im Schlafzimmer klar hörbar
  • Automatik reagiert übereifrig und schaltet ständig hoch
  • Turbo mit 54 bis 60 dB lauter als angegebene 49 dB
