Features and specifications in this description are as the brand describes them.
The Core 300S is a connected air purifier designed to fit into Alexa or Google Assistant homes. Per the brand, it can purify 50 square metres twice per hour, or alternatively cover 100 square metres with one air change per hour, making it suited to different room sizes and ventilation preferences. It uses HEPA filtration combined with odour-absorbing technology and ionic features to treat indoor air.
The brand describes the unit as ozone-free and it carries Energy Star certification. Before purchasing, confirm that your existing smart home runs on either Alexa or Google Assistant, since those are the voice assistants supported. The catalogue specs list a coverage area of 1,066 square metres, which conflicts with the brand's stated coverage claims; clarify the actual performance for your space with the manufacturer or retailer. Consider where you'll place the unit and whether noise or filter replacement costs factor into your decision.

Best for: Renters and homeowners wanting an app-connected air purifier for bedrooms or medium living spaces integrated with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.
The Levoit Core 300S (model HEAPAPLVSAU0136Y) is a compact cylindrical smart air purifier designed for domestic indoor spaces. According to Levoit Australia, the unit provides a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 240 to 258 m³/h. This covers spaces up to 21 square metres at approximately five air changes per hour, or up to 50 to 54 square metres at two air changes per hour. Filtration is handled by a three-stage drum combining a nylon pre-filter, an H13 True HEPA layer that captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, and an activated carbon stage to capture household odours. An AirSight Plus laser dust sensor monitors particulate matter (PM2.5), displaying air quality via a colour-coded ring and enabling automated fan speed adjustments.
This unit suits Australian renters and homeowners seeking particulate filtration for bedrooms, home offices, or medium living spaces. Measuring 220 by 220 by 360 millimetres and weighing under 4 kilograms, it can be relocated between rooms with minimal effort. It fits households using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for voice control and automation through the free companion VeSync application. Smart-home builders using Home Assistant can also integrate the purifier via an existing community-developed integration.
Households built around Apple Home or Samsung SmartThings should look elsewhere, as the Core 300S does not natively support these platforms or the Matter standard. It is also unsuitable for those wanting automated air cleaning based on chemical vapours or cooking smells, as its onboard sensor does not analyse VOC levels or gases.
Australian retail units are built for local mains power (220–240V, 50/60 Hz) and ship with an Australian plug, consuming a rated 23 to 26 watts under normal use. Wi-Fi setup is limited strictly to 2.4 GHz networks, meaning dual-band routers will need to broadcast a compatible 2.4 GHz band to complete onboarding. Retailers such as JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman supply the purifier with a two-year Australian manufacturer warranty. Replacement cartridges require swapping the entire 3-in-1 cylindrical assembly, which Levoit states should be replaced every six to eight months depending on usage.

The Leviot 300S far exceeded my expectations considering its low price. The smart connectivity features and app are also very impressive. I highly recommend this product.
