Levoit Vista 200 Design
With its sleek, white design and black top trim, the Levoit Vista 200 air purifier fits seamlessly into any home decor. Its touch buttons are easy to use but unfortunately made of plastic that lacks in quality. The AC 12V adapter is a rare find on an air purifier—providing greater convenience for powering your device with ease if something happens to go wrong with the original one! What’s more: it has very similar hole intakes as their Core 300 model so you can enjoy all-around purified airflow.

Features
At the outset of this discussion, I shared that Levoit has just launched Vista 200 – their latest product.
Three Stage Filtration
The three-stage filtration system of Vista 200 is verified to be extremely effective, and it can efficiently eliminate 99.97% of contaminants from the air, such as dust particles, pollen grains, pet hair strands, smoke emissions, and VOCs.
Energy Efficient
The Levoit Vista 200 air purifier makes the most of your energy with its maximum power consumption of only 15W, so you can run it endlessly without worrying about a massive increase in electricity bills. It’s as if it runs on renewable energy!
Sleep Mode and Night Light
Settle in for a good night’s sleep, knowing you’re breathing fresh air! The ultra-quiet Sleep Mode of the air purifier ensures a restful atmosphere. Drift away with optional peaceful light or turn out all lights at once – doesn’t matter how dark it gets, sound slumbers are guaranteed.
Ozone Free
The Levoit Vista 200 air purifier is the perfect fit to keep your California home clean and healthy. It’s CARB-certified, which means it not only meets but exceeds the state standards for ozone levels – so you can rest assured that this device will help improve your indoor air quality without creating any harmful side effects!
Timer and Speed Settings
For those who don’t require a timer setting, I recommend the Blueair 411 air purifier for its standard features. However, if you’re in need of speed and/or timer settings then look no further than the Levoit Vista 200! Both are excellent choices when it comes to air quality solutions that can meet your needs.
Levoit Vista 200 Coverage
The Vista 200 is an ideal air purifier for smaller spaces up to 161 square feet in size, and can easily fit into any small office, bedroom, or living room. It’s perfect for children’s rooms too!
Filters
Vista 200’s core is unmistakably potent, utilizing a formidable three-stage filtration system. This high-grade filter embodies the heart of every air purifier and stands apart from others on the market today.
First Stage – Nylon Pre-Filter
This filter is designed to capture and retain large particles, thereby protecting your True HEPA filter from becoming clogged or damaged. By using this product, you can rest assured that dust, pet fur, hair fibers, lint, and more won’t enter the inner parts of your device – keeping it in optimal condition for longer!
Second Stage – True HEPA Filter
The True HEPA filter is a great way to capture even the smallest particles, such as mold spores, dust mites, bacteria, pollen, and more. This filter needs replacing regularly; that’s why I have an indicator on the touch panel which will alert you when it’s time for a change!
Third Stage – High Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter
The third phase is all about neutralizing noxious odors. Activated carbon can be used to banish various unpleasant smells, including those of cooking, bathrooms, smoke, ammonia, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
Noise Test
Vista 200 offers cleaner air without the extra noise – even when running at full power! On its highest setting, it produces a sound most easily described as “normal” which is sure to not disturb. Take advantage of this user-friendly purifier and breathe in freshness with peace of mind!
The newly trialed PARTU BS-08 is much quieter than Vista 200, and it delivers an improved airflow too! Examine the below table to view all of Vista 200’s results.
Speed | Value (dBA)
Night Mode 43.5 dBA
Speed 1 47.4 dBA
Speed 2 52.2 dBA
Speed 3 56.9 dBA
Performance Tests
Although I was hoping for more from the Levoit Vista 200 air purifier, its performance is unfortunately not up to par.
To be honest, this device falls short in comparison to its predecessor–the LV-H132–whose efficacy surpasses that of the Vista 200’s.
The Vista 200 is deemed suitable for a room no larger than 161 sq. ft., yet, in such an area, the airflow rate would only reach 40––a disappointing statistic.
194 sq. ft. Room Test
Despite this room being larger than what was recommended, it is no wonder that the Vista 200 did not astound us here.
Yet, we all felt a notable difference when the air purifier was put to use – within an hour of turning it on, AQI had decreased from 66 to 21; representing a remarkable 68% improvement in air quality! Although the results were seemingly satisfactory and not extraordinary by any means.
120 sq. ft. Room Test
Although I utilized the Vista 200 in a room smaller than it was intended for, I remained unimpressed with its inadequate performance. Its motor is feeble and airflow tiny.
For optimal performance, use it in rooms smaller than 100 square feet.
To the delight of everyone, Vista 200 did an impressive job in eliminating air pollution within one hour and changed 88 AQI to 23. Although it was a 74% improvement rate, my tests suggest that many other purifiers are much more proficient at this task.
Operating Costs
Vista 200 is an incredibly efficient consumer. Its motor requires only 15 watts of energy to run, ensuring you won’t break your budget with this device!
Plus, it has a built-in AC power adapter that removes the need for additional adapters inside – saving space and money.
Investing in this air purifier for your workspace yields a remarkably low-cost result – use it for 24 hours every day of the month, and you’re looking at spending less than half a dollar!
Speed Power Usage (W)
Stand-by 0.2W
Night Mode 0.8W
Speed 1 1.4W
Speed 2 2.1W
Speed 3 2.7W
Pros and Cons
Final Thoughts
The Levoit Vista 200 air purifier is a tiny device, known for its low energy consumption. It works best in spaces of up to 100 square feet; however, according to the manufacturer’s directions, it can be used in rooms up to 161 square feet. I tested this out myself and found that performance was subpar when using the device in such large areas.
If you’re searching for a top-notch air purifier, I suggest the Levoit Core 300. Despite costing slightly more than Vista 200, it is well worth the investment due to its superior design and array of advanced features.
