Levoit’s new air purifier is for the pet odors that have taken over your apartment

Why It Matters

Pet owners face persistent airborne hair, dander and odor that standard purifiers may not address efficiently; this product packages targeted filtration, automated hair removal and pet-specific operating modes to address those common household challenges.

Key Facts

Price: $189.99
Filtration stages: Three-stage system: washable pre-filter, main filter, activated carbon filter
Activated carbon: 140 grams in carbon filter
Odor removal claim: Up to 70% of odors removed within one hour (Levoit claim)
Air inlet design: U-shaped inlet to capture pet hair and improve airflow

Levoit’s new Vital Pet Pro Air Purifier is aimed at households with animals, combining a three-stage filtration arrangement and several pet-specific design touches. The filter stack includes a washable pre-filter for larger debris such as hair, a main filter for finer particles and dander, and an activated carbon layer — Levoit says that carbon piece contains 140 grams of material intended to absorb odors. The company advertises the unit can remove up to 70% of odors within an hour.

A standout mechanical feature is a U-shaped air inlet Levoit says helps capture airborne pet hair while maintaining airflow and reducing filter clogging. The purifier also incorporates an automatic cleaning mechanism that dislodges hair and debris from the pre-filter into a removable tray, which the reviewer found to be a practical convenience compared with manual dismantling and cleaning.

The Vital Pet Pro includes software and control features tailored to pet households. Auto Plus Mode adjusts performance according to real-time air quality readings; Pet Mode cycles the fan at high speed for 15 minutes to collect particulates, then drops to a lower speed for 60 minutes to balance maintenance, noise and energy use. Instead of a numeric readout, the unit uses a four-color air-quality indicator: red (bad), orange (moderate), green (good) and cyan (very good).

In hands-on testing over a bit more than a week, the reviewer reported the purifier was effective at collecting fur and reducing airborne debris, and observed a noticeable improvement in room smell after running the unit. Practical notes included that the Vital Pet Pro is somewhat larger than expected and that the fan is clearly audible at maximum speed, though quieter settings and Sleep Mode were acceptable for overnight use. The purifier is being sold through Levoit’s site, Amazon, Chewy and other retailers.
