Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Levoit Core 600S ist ein reiner Luftreiniger für große Räume, der Rauch und Feinstaub ungewöhnlich schnell aus der Luft holt: Mit 697 m³/h reicht er für Räume bis etwa 56 m². Für offene Wohnküchen, Raucher und Tierhalter passt er gut. Der Haken sind die laute obere Stufen und zwei teure Originalfilter im Jahr. Unter 45 dB(A) bleiben nur rund 265 m³/h.

Pros

  • Rauchkammer nach 6 min auf 9 µg/m³ Feinstaub gesenkt
  • 697 m³/h reichen für Räume bis rund 56 m²
  • Automatik reagiert schnell auf Bratdunst und Zigarettenrauch
  • Sparsam: rund 5 W im Schlafmodus, knapp 11 W auf Stufe 2
  • Display abschaltbar, Lichterkennung bremst die Automatik nachts
  • App mit Zeitplänen und mehreren Automatikvarianten läuft zuverlässig

Cons

  • Ab Stufe 3 rund 54 dB(A), Turbo bis 62 dB(A)
  • Unter 45 dB(A) bleiben nur rund 265 m³/h
  • Kombifilter nicht teilbar, im Dauerbetrieb zwei Originale pro Jahr
  • Sensor erfasst keine Gerüche, Kochgeruch ohne Dunst bleibt unbemerkt
  • Auf einzelnen Stufen leises Surren oder Pfeifen

Der Winix 5300-2 ist ein solider Partikelfilter für Räume bis 31 m². Mit H13-Filter und 27 dB im Schlafmodus taugt er gut fürs Schlafzimmer von Pollen- und Hausstauballergikern. Der Haken: Die dünne Kohlematte bindet Gerüche kaum, der Sensor erkennt Staub schlecht, und bei mehreren Geräten quietscht der Lüfter nach Wochen.

Pros

  • 390 m³/h CADR reicht real für Räume bis 31 m²
  • Verrauchter 20-m³-Testraum nach 27 Minuten wieder sauber
  • Schlafmodus mit 27 dB, Lichtsensor schaltet nachts selbst um
  • Sparsam: 4,85 bis 10,47 W auf den Stufen 1 bis 3
  • Ionisator per Taste abschaltbar, im Schlafmodus automatisch aus
  • Ein Filterset mit HEPA und vier Kohlematten reicht zwölf Monate

Cons

  • Dünne Kohlematte bindet dauerhaften Tiergeruch und Rauch kaum
  • Lüfter quietscht oder klappert bei mehreren Geräten nach rund zwei Monaten
  • Luftqualitätssensor reagiert auf Gerüche, erkennt Staub aber kaum
  • Herstellerangabe von 99 m² weit überzogen
  • LED-Anzeige außerhalb des Schlafmodus nicht abschaltbar
