Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I always read bad reviews first to get a feel for whether it's the product or the user that's not working properly. In the case of the Levoit LV-H132 Air Purifier, it's the user by an overwhelming majority (with incorrect filter installation and/or neglecting to remove the filter from the plastic bag it comes in the most prevalent user error). I have a very small apartment and I smoke very large cigars. My place reeked of stale tobacco and I was at my wits end looking for a solution (quitting cigars was not an option). After much research and dozens of professional reviews, the Levoit LV-H132 Air Purifier was the single best solution. Price, size, efficiency, ease of use and the cost of replacement filters are all ideal for my needs. I plugged it in, set it on high and went to work. When I came home that night, the stale cigar smoke odor was dramatically rreduced and continued to diminish until, by the third morning, it was completely gone. I wrote the company to ask if a ceiling fan aided the units efficiency and was told that it does, indeed, do so and an open window increases efficiency further still. I cannot recommend this unit highly enough. It has absolutely transformed the smell of my apartment from that of a stanky bachelor pad into that of the residence of a distinguished gentleman. If only it could do the same for my appearance! This is the best air purifier for small to medium-small rooms you can buy in this price range. Period.
