LEVOIT: 9 DOE certified models
LEVOIT has 9 basic models certified to DOE as of 2026-11-03: 1 dehumidifier (24.54 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test) and 8 air purifiers (smoke CADR 34 to 301 cfm). How their efficiency compares with their DOE class is below.
Key findings
- Highest certified smoke CADR among its air purifiers: LEVOIT LAP-C511S-WUS at 301 cfm.
- Most efficient for its class: LEVOIT LAP-C511S-WUS, CADR/W 9, higher than 134 of the 140 in its DOE class (air purifiers, PM2.5 CADR 150+ cfm).

How efficient are LEVOIT models?
Dehumidifiers
LEVOIT LDH-H251S-WUS files IEF 1.88 L/kWh. The median among the 253 models in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day) is 1.7, so it's above the median: higher than 210 of the 253.
Air purifiers
Of the 8 LEVOIT air purifiers, 5 file a higher CADR/W than the class median and 3 fall below it.
| DOE class | LEVOIT models | Above median | Class median | Best LEVOIT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air purifiers, PM2.5 CADR 150+ cfm (140) | 5 | 3 | CADR/W 5.5 | LAP- |
| Air purifiers, PM2.5 CADR 10 to 99 cfm (90) | 2 | 2 | CADR/W 3.5 | LAP- |
| Air purifiers, PM2.5 CADR 100 to 149 cfm (66) | 1 | 0 | CADR/W 4.65 | LAP- |
A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh. A higher CADR/W means more clean air per watt.
Who makes LEVOIT dehumidifiers and air purifiers?
DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the evidence is whose model number each unit is filed under and which other brands file the same unit.
None of the 9 LEVOIT basic models is filed by another brand as of 2026-11-03, and none uses another company's model number. DOE's records tie them to LEVOIT alone.
How much do LEVOIT models cost to run?
LEVOIT LDH-H251S-WUS certifies 24.54 pints/day (11.61 liters) at an IEF of 1.88 L/kWh. That takes 6.18 kWh a day running nonstop at DOE's test conditions: about $1.12 a day, or $33.65 for 30 days.
DOE's annual energy figures for the 8 LEVOIT air purifiers that file one run from 39 to 244 kWh a year: about $7.08 to $44.31 a year. The lowest is LEVOIT LAP-C171-QUSR (34 cfm, CADR/W 5.3) and the highest LEVOIT LAP-V102S-WUS (143 cfm, CADR/W 3.6).
Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so that's the upper figure for a day of nonstop running.

Questions about LEVOIT
- Is LEVOIT a good dehumidifier brand?
- Its one dehumidifier basic model, LEVOIT LDH-H251S-WUS, certifies 24.54 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test, and its IEF of 1.88 is higher than 210 of the 253 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day). We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does LEVOIT make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- No current DOE record shows one as of 2026-11-03. Its one model, LEVOIT LDH-H251S-WUS, certifies 24.54 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test. Boxes that quote the older 80°F test read higher for the same unit. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
