Levoit Vital 100S True Hepa Air Purifier Introduction

The three-stage filtration system of the Vital 100S consists of an activated carbon filter, a True HEPA filter, and a pre-filter. When it comes to pollen, dust, smoke, and pet dander, this technology effectively collects up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. In addition, the activated carbon filter removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and smells, keeping your home fresh and tidy.

The estimated price of the Levoit Vital 100S True Hepa Air Purifier is around 139.99, making it an affordable option for those looking for a high-quality air purifier. The launching date is yet to be announced, but it is expected to be available in the market soon.

Description

An easy-to-use and maintained high-performance air purifier is the Levoit Vital 100S Smart Air Purifier. With its touchscreen display, you can check the state of the filter, set a timer, and change the fan speed. The air purifier is ideal for use at night because it has a sleep mode that automatically lowers the fan speed to the lowest level and turns off the display light.
The Levoit Vital 100S's clever functionality is one of its best qualities. You can use the VeSync app on your smartphone to operate the air purifier thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. Additionally, you may utilize Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa voice commands to operate the air purifier. Additionally, the air purifier features an integrated air quality sensor that automatically modifies the fan speed according to the quality of the air in your room.

Memory Function

When the air purifier is in standby or turned off and unplugged, it will remember its previous fan speed, Sleep Mode, Auto Mode, Pet Mode, and in-app Display and Light Detection settings.

Note: The air purifier will not remember timers.

VeSync App Functions

The VeSync app allows you to access additional smart air purifier functions, including those listed below. As the app develops, more features may become available.

Remote Control

• Change any air purifier settings through the app, even while Display Lock is on.

Air Quality Updates

• View real-time air quality updates in the app.
• See your air quality history for the previous 4 weeks.

Pet Mode

• Pet Mode is efficient at filtering allergens from the air while conserving energy.
• When Pet Mode is on, the air purifier runs for 15 minutes at high speed (3 indicator lights), then 60 minutes at medium speed (2 indicators), and cycles between the two fan speeds. The corresponding fan speed indicators andon the air purifier’s display will light up.
• When Pet Mode is on, and the light sensor detects the room is dark, the display will turn off and limit Pet Mode to medium fan speed (2 indicators), to avoid making too much noise. When the light sensor detects that the room is lit again, Pet Mode will no longer be limited, and the air purifier will run at medium fan speed (2 indicators) for 30 minutes, then run at high (3 indicators) for 15 minutes. After this, the normal Pet Mode cycle will start (15 minutes at high speed, then 60 minutes at medium speed).
• To turn off Pet Mode, tap Auto Mode, Sleep Mode, or select a fan speed on the air purifier’s display or in the VeSync app.

Note

• The corresponding fan speed indicators will light up depending on which fan speed is currently running.
• Pet Mode will stay on unless you select a different mode or fan speed.

Auto Mode

Access additional auto modes: Quiet Auto  Mode and Efficient Auto Mode.  

• Quiet Auto Mode uses the medium fan speed (2 indicator lights) instead of the high or turbo fan speeds, even when the air quality is poor, to avoid making too much noise.
• Efficient Auto Mode lets you choose the size of the area you want to purify. The air purifier will use the turbo fan speed to clean the air for a designated amount of time. This time is based on 1 ACH and the size of the room, meaning how long it takes for the air purifier to clean all the air in your room one time, regardless of the air quality. After this, the mode will adjust the fan speed according to the actual detected air quality in the room.

Note: Efficient Auto Mode is useful for purifying odors from the air. The air purifier’s dust sensor can only detect particles in the air, not smells. Efficient Auto Mode does not rely on the dust sensor, but the room size instead.

Display Lock

When Should I Replace the Filter?

The True HEPA / Activated Carbon Filter should be replaced every 9 months. You may need to replace your filter earlier or later depending on how often you use your air purifier. Using your air purifier in an environment with relatively high pollution may mean you will need to replace the filter more often, even if the Check Filter Indicator is off.

You may need to replace your filter if you notice:

• The air purifier does not effectively filter certain odors anymore.
• Increased noise when the air purifier is on.
• Decreased airflow from the top of the air purifier.
• Unusual odors.
• The HEPA filter is visibly dusty or discolored after removing the pre-filter.

Note

• To maintain the performance of your air purifier, only use official Levoit filters. For more information, contact Customer Support (see page 26).
• Remember to reset the Check Filter Indicator after replacing the filter (see page 17).

Replacing the Filter

1. Unplug the air purifier, then pull the front cover to remove it (see Getting Started, page 7).
2. Push the pre-filter’s tabs inward and pull to remove the pre-filter.
3. Remove the old filter from the air purifier.
4. Clean out any remaining dust or hair inside the air purifier using a vacuum hose.

Note: Do not use water or liquids to clean the air purifier.

1. Remove the plastic packaging from the new filter and place the filter and pre-filter inside the air purifier (see Getting Started, page 7).
2. Replace the front cover.
3. Plug in and turn on the air purifier. Reset the Check Filter Indicator (see page 17).

Cleaning the Dust Sensor

It is recommended to clean the AirSight™ Infrared Dust Sensor lens every 2 months to help maintain the efficiency of the sensor. If the Air Quality Indicator is red (indicating “Bad” air quality) more than usual, you may need to clean your dust sensor.

VeSync App Troubleshooting

My smart air purifier isn’t connecting to the VeSync app.

• Make sure your phone has Bluetooth® turned on and is not currently connected to another Bluetooth device.
• During the setup process, you must be on a secure 2.4GHz Wi-Fi® network. Confirm that the network is working correctly.
• Make sure the Wi-Fi password you entered is correct.
• There should be no spaces at the beginning or end of the password.
• Test the password by connecting a different electronic device to the router.
• If you’re manually typing in the SSID and password, double-check that both are entered correctly.
• Try moving your air purifier closer to the router. Your phone should be as close as possible to your air purifier.
• Your router may need to be at a higher location, away from obstructions.
• Make sure your air purifier and router are away from appliances (such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, electronic devices, etc.) to avoid signal interference.
• If you’re using a VPN, make sure it’s turned off while setting up your air purifier.
• Disable portal authentication for your Wi-Fi network. If portal authentication is enabled, the air purifier will not be able to access your Wi-Fi network, and setup will fail.

Note: Portal authentication means that you need to sign in to your Wi-Fi network through a web page before you can use the Internet.

My air purifier is offline.

• Make sure the air purifier is plugged in and has power, then refresh the VeSync menu by swiping down on the screen.
• Make sure your router is connected to the internet and your phone’s network connection is working.
• Delete the offline air purifier from the VeSync app. Swipe left (iOS®) or press and hold (Android™), then tap Delete. Reconfigure the air purifier with the VeSync app.

Note: Power outages, internet outages, or changing Wi-Fi routers may cause the air purifier to go offline.
