Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Levoit Core 300S ist ein solides Zimmergerät für Allergiker: Er reinigt Räume bis etwa 20 m² in rund 30 Minuten und bleibt im Schlafmodus nachts kaum hörbar. Für eine offene Wohnküche reichen 240 m³/h nicht. Gerüche filtert die dünne Aktivkohle kaum heraus, und die Automatik wählt nach dem Anschlagen oft eine zu kleine Lüfterstufe.

Pros

  • Im Schlafmodus 20 bis 35 dB, nachts kaum wahrnehmbar
  • Reinigt 17 m² nach dem Braten in 30 Minuten
  • PM2.5-Sensor schlägt bei Rauch nach rund 12 Sekunden an
  • Display ganz abschaltbar, auch außerhalb des Schlafmodus
  • Übersichtliche App mit Zeitplänen, Alexa und Google Assistant
  • Mit 2,7 kg leicht von Raum zu Raum zu tragen

Cons

  • Kaum Wirkung gegen Koch- und andere Gerüche
  • Automatik wählt nach Alarm oft zu kleine Stufe
  • Hoher elektrischer Ton im Schlaf- und Automatikmodus
  • Auf höchster Stufe 54 bis 63 dB statt versprochener 47 dB
  • App nur mit Herstellerkonto und Internet nutzbar

Der Philips PureProtect 3200 ist ein reiner HEPA-Luftreiniger mit zwei Lüftern, der Räume bis etwa 35 m² schnell und leise reinigt: Unter 45 dB schafft er noch rund 290 m³/h. Für Schlafzimmer und Tierhaushalte taugt er gut, die App ist durchdacht. Der Haken: Der PM2,5-Sensor misst unzuverlässig, und gegen Koch- und Schweißgerüche hilft die Aktivkohle nur wenig.

Pros

  • Unter 45 dB noch rund 290 m³/h, genug für 20 bis 23 m²
  • Nebel im 50-m²-Studio nach 33 Minuten beseitigt
  • Auf Turbo mit 53 bis 56 dB vergleichsweise leise
  • Sparsam: 12,6 W auf mittlerer Stufe, 1,1 W im Standby
  • Lichter komplett abschaltbar, Allergy-Sleep-Modus regelt nachts leise nach
  • App mit Zeitplänen, Verlauf und Sprachsteuerung per Alexa und Google

Cons

  • PM2,5-Sensor zeigt sprunghafte und teils falsche Werte
  • Bindet Koch-, Schweiß- und Uringerüche nur schwach
  • Verklebte Filter werden komplett getauscht, nicht waschbar
  • Kein Tragegriff, 6,2 kg mühsam umzustellen
  • Sensortasten erlöschen nach einer Minute, im Sonnenlicht schwer lesbar
