The Medify MA-15 and Levoit Core Mini are two compact air purifiers that are highly portable and designed for smaller spaces. Each has its unique advantages and features that will, I’m sure, make this comparison very interesting.
These air purifiers have a minimalistic design and limited features. The Medify includes a timer, display lock, dimmer, and filter reset indicator. Levoit, on the other hand, lacks these features except for the filter reset indicator. However, it does have an Aroma Pad, a fantastic addition that allows you to add essential oils to your air purifier.
Regarding the filtration technology, the Medify MA-15 outperforms the Levoit Core Mini primarily because it has a True HEPA filter; actually, it has a dual True HEPA filter. With room coverage of 138 sq. ft. compared to Levoit’s 71 sq. ft., it’s no surprise that the Medify achieved better results in performance tests.
In this article, I’ve compared the performance, noise levels, operating costs, and specifications of these air purifiers to choose the winner.

Which One Does It Better?
To be honest, these air purifiers aren’t directly competing with each other, but the comparison was still exciting. Levoit impressed me with its very quiet motor, while Medify disappointed me slightly with a bit higher maintenance costs.
However, the Medify MA-15 performed much better in performance tests, has superior filtration technology, features a True HEPA filter and a pellet-based carbon filter, and includes some great features. As a result, it stands out as the better buying option and the winner in this comparison.
