What the LV-PUR131 Was
The LV-PUR131 was a medium-size Levoit purifier, about 14.5 by 7.2 by 18.5 inches and 15.8 pounds. It has a pre-filter, a True HEPA filter and an activated carbon filter for odors. The older review noted that Levoit suggests a 15-inch clearance on all sides for airflow, and that it is noisier on the top speed. The Amazon page shows it as currently unavailable as of October 15, 2026, with no price.
Looking ahead, the Levoit LV-PUR131 is a model that sold for years and has now been replaced. Both the LV-PUR131 and the LV-PUR131S show as currently unavailable on Amazon, while the LV-PUR131-RF filter is listed at $39.99. The catch is that owners will keep buying filters for a machine that may fade out, so plan the next purchase.
What the Older Review Said
- Filters. Three stages. The True HEPA filter catches 99.97 percent of particles at 0.3 microns.
- Airflow. 135 CFM, with air cleaned in less than an hour.
- Coverage. 360 square feet at five air changes an hour, per the older review.
- Care. The filters cannot be cleaned or washed by hand. A replacement filter, the LV-PUR131-RF, is listed at $39.99.
- Price. Under $200 in the older review.
The risk to watch is the coverage claim. The older review said the LV-PUR131 cleans 360 square feet five times an hour with a CADR of 135 CFM. The math says otherwise: 135 CFM gives about three air changes an hour at 360 square feet, and five an hour at about 200 square feet. Expect more listings that stretch the room size. Use the smaller number for allergies or smoke, and note the older review said the filters cannot be washed.
CADR and Real Room Size
An 8 foot ceiling makes a 360 square foot room 2,880 cubic feet. At 135 CFM, one air change takes about 21 minutes, or about three an hour. For five an hour, a 200 square foot room fits better. The older review lists the Alen BreatheSmart FIT50, the Coway Airmega 200M and the Medify MA-40 as similar. Read what CADR means and how to choose the right size air purifier.
Filter Cost
At $39.99 a filter and a change about every six months, the LV-PUR131 costs about $80 a year to run. The newer Levoit units are cheaper to feed. Use the air purifier filter replacement cost guide to compare.
What to Buy Instead
For smaller rooms, the older review pointed to the Levoit Core 300 and the LV-H132. See our Levoit Core 300 review for the current choice. For a larger room, the Coway Mighty review fills the gap.
