The Levoit Core 300 is a popular air purifier and one of Levoit’s best-selling models.
In this article, I will compare it with GoveeLife Mini.
When it comes to room fitment, the Levoit Core 300 has it CADR of 141 CFM (240 m³/h) and includes rooms until 219 sq. ft. (20 m²). On the other hand, GoveeLife Mini has it CADR 50 CFM (85 m³/h) and includes rooms until 78 sq. ft. (7.2 m²).
Neither device has advanced features worth mentioning, although the GoveeLife Mini has a smart app, which only works as a remote control.

Performance evaluation – Comparison
We tested the performance of these two air purifiers in relation to their room installation. For testing purposes, we used a Temptop laser particle meterand the devices were running at high speed all the time.
Interestingly, we tested both devices on it room 194 sq. ft. (18 m²)and the difference in performance is noticeable.
Particle Removal Test – A Comparison
We put the GoveeLife Mini and Levoit Core 300 through two separate tests and measured their performance using a Temptop laser particle meter.
In just 60 minutes of running at high speed, the GoveeLife Mini improved air quality 77%while the Levoit Core 300 improves it by 93%.
That is clear Levoit Core 300 is a very efficient and powerful air purifierat least when it comes to the performance of airborne particles.
Sound Level Testing – A Comparison
Before I move on to the sound measurement results, I want to mention that the GoveeLife Mini has speed of three fanswhile the Levoit Core 300 has four.
Using a dedicated audio measurement tool, I measured the audio levels of both devices at all speeds. The conclusion is that the Levoit Core 300 is very loudespecially at high speeds, but that should also be considered has a very high CADR it is also a very powerful air purifier.
Noise Levels – Comparison
Comparison of noise levels at all fan speeds between GoveeLife Mini and Levoit Core 300 air purifiers.
At very low speed, the GoveeLife Mini is productive 40.1 dBAwhile the Levoit Core 300 produces 40.7 dBA.
At high speed, GoveeLife Mini is productive 56.5 dBAwhile the Levoit Core 300 produces 64.9 dBA.
| fan speed | GoveeLife Mini (dBA) | Levoit Core 300 (dBA) |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep mode | 40.1 dBA | 40.7 dBA |
| Speed 1 (Low) | 46.7 dBA | 46.4 dBA |
| Speed 2 (High) | 56.5 dBA | – |
| Speed 2 (Medium) | – | 52.9 dBA |
| Speed 3 (High) | – | 64.9 dBA |
Overall, although the difference is obvious, I will say that again Levoit is a more powerful and larger air purifier.
Operating Costs – Comparison
When it comes to operating costs, the first thing you’ll notice is that Levoit has an engine six times more powerful than GoveeLife.
The Levoit Core 300 uses 45W motorwhile GoveeLife Mini uses 8W motor.
Monthly Energy Costs – Comparison
Comparison of monthly energy usage costs for GoveeLife Mini and Levoit Core 300 air purifiers at all fan speeds.
This means that if you were to run both air purifiers 24 hours a day for one month, your electricity bill would increase by approx. $3.81 of Levoit and nearby $0.65 for GoveeLife Mini.
In addition to these costs, there are also filter costs, which, according to the manufacturers, it lasts between 6 and 8 months for both devices.
| fan speed | GoveeLife Mini (W + $/month) | Levoit Core 300 (W + $/month) |
|---|---|---|
| stand by | 0.4W ($0.04) | 0.8W ($0.07) |
| Sleep mode | 1.6W ($0.14) | – |
| Speed 1 (Low) | 3W ($0.26) | 29.4W ($2.58) |
| Speed 2 (High) | 7.4W ($0.65) | – |
| Speed 2 (Medium) | – | 31.4W ($2.75) |
| Speed 3 (High) | – | 43.5W ($3.81) |
However, the price of the filter doesn’t make much of a difference, especially since the Levoit consumes a lot of electricity, in general. making it more expensive to maintain than the GoveeLife Mini.
