Honeywell HRF-R1
Score: 85/100
Levoit Core Mini-P
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Honeywell True HEPA Replacement Filter (HRF-R1) is an OEM filter designed for specific Honeywell air purifier series, capturing 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns. It requires annual replacement and may necessitate purchasing multiple units per machine, which increases overall cost. Ideal for allergy sufferers owning compatible Honeywell units who prioritize warranty compliance.
The Levoit Core Mini Replacement Filter is a genuine 3-in-1 filter designed exclusively for the Levoit Core Mini and Core Mini-P air purifiers. It offers effective particle and odor capture for small personal spaces but lacks the power for larger rooms. It is best suited for users needing ultra-portable purification in areas under 61 square feet.

HouseFresh experts praise the portability and quiet operation of the Levoit Core Mini purifier, noting its suitability for RVs and campers with a PM1 CADR of 41 cfm. However, they criticize it as underpowered for larger rooms requiring 136 minutes to clean a 728 cubic foot space.
Everyday users generally praise the quiet operation and effective cleaning of small spaces like bedrooms and kitchens. Common themes include satisfaction with particle and odor removal in personal areas. Recurring complaints focus on the limited coverage area being too small for larger rooms and the implied need for frequent filter swaps due to the compact size.
