Yup I'm also considering xiaomi 2s, replacement filter is also reasonably priced

Do you have source? Reviews on xiaomi 2 purifier was bad but xiaomi 2s had positive reviews from my reading online.

Yup can

Considering the area you want to cover is 380 square feet.

Levoit 300s fits your need from the specs. Things you may want to consider though is:

1. Levoit air quality measurement is using PM2.5 whereas better air purifiers measure up to PM1.0,if you are sensitive and have allergies, better to invest in an air purifier that has Air Quality sensor capable of PM1.0

2. The recommended air purifier CADR sizing is 2/3rd of your room size in square feet, using this formula the air purifier CADR you need is in the range of 250 to 260. The Levoit you are looking at will still clean the air but won't be effective as its undersized. 300s has CADR of 240m3/hr which is slightly below the threshold


Best is not to undersize the machine or consider getting two smaller purifier to cover an entire area.

There are some types which offer 360 purification and can circulate clean air throughout the room, LG and one more is Acer. LG has long throw of 6.5m of purified air, functioning almost like an air circulator and can filter up to PM1.0; certified by American Asthma and allergy foundation as well.

You can consider LG for long term, as no initial cost outlay, installation done by LG Puricare Malaysia team and filters are send to your doorstep, so no need for technician visits etc.

Also LG has smart controls like levoit, I actually like this feature since my Xiaomi air purifier, as I can programme the on/off time for my air purifier and also programme it to run at max speed when the Air Quality is at certain level (sometimes my nose is more sensitive on the smell vs the air purifier).

Personally find the PM1.0 vs PM2. 5 measurement makes a very big difference, and its definitely worth to invest in a better air purifier.
