Three purifiers, one living room, a shedder on the couch. Which one? It depends on four things: how big the room is, how quiet it has to be, how much you want to spend, and whether you want the app. Short version: LEVOIT Vital Pet Pro for smell and hair, MOOKA H13 for the big open room, GoveeLife for hands-off.
The three at a glance
LEVOIT Vital Pet Pro (our pick): 3-stage filter with 140 g of activated carbon, a self-cleaning pre-filter that drops hair into a tray, Sleep Mode as low as 21 dB, Auto Mode, VeSync app. Full LEVOIT Vital Pet Pro review.
MOOKA Air Purifier H13 True HEPA: H13 True HEPA for dander, an activated carbon filter for odor, a sleep mode, rated for up to 1,076 sq ft. No app, no smarts.
GoveeLife Smart Air Purifier (Wi-Fi): H13 True HEPA plus activated carbon, Auto Mode from an air quality sensor, control from the Govee Home app, Alexa or Google Assistant.
Pick by need
Big room or open floor plan: MOOKA
MOOKA rates the H13 for rooms up to 1,076 sq ft. A long living room that flows into the kitchen is where it earns its place. Set it once and let it run.
These are not the small-room units. For one bedroom, the LEVOIT Core 300-P is rated by LEVOIT for up to 222 sq ft and as quiet as 24 dB on low.
Don't need the extras: MOOKA or GoveeLife
The Vital Pet Pro is the one with the extras: the big carbon load and the hair tray. MOOKA is the plain one and GoveeLife adds the smart controls. Compare today's prices on the buttons below, and buy the Vital Pet Pro only if smell or hair is the problem you are solving.
Quietest on paper: LEVOIT, as low as 21 dB in Sleep Mode. MOOKA has a sleep mode too.
Smell and hair: LEVOIT
Carbon is the stage that goes after odor. LEVOIT puts 140 g in the Vital Pet Pro and says it removes up to 70% of pet odors in an hour in its own chamber test. The pre-filter also empties its own hair into a removable tray. MOOKA and GoveeLife both list activated carbon, without a figure for how much.
Voice control: GoveeLife
GoveeLife reads an air quality sensor and sets the fan itself. You can run it from the Govee Home app, Alexa or Google Assistant. The catch: one Wi-Fi setup, then it runs itself.
One room with the smell: Vital Pet Pro. Big open plan: MOOKA. Hands-off: GoveeLife.
Which one for you
Pet smell at the door and fur everywhere: LEVOIT Vital Pet Pro.
Open floor plan, no fuss: MOOKA H13.
You want the purifier to run itself and answer to Alexa: GoveeLife.
One small bedroom: The LEVOIT Core 300-P, not these three.
