Choosing an air purifier for air comfort often comes down to three practical questions: how much room coverage you want, whether condition matters, and how much you want to spend. In this comparison, both choices come from Levoit, but they are not positioned the same way. One is a new Core 300-P model with a white finish, touch controls, and a stated room coverage figure up to 1073 ft². The other is a lower-priced open-box Levoit HEAPAPLVNUS0147Y/Core 300-RAC gray model described for large rooms up to 547 sq. ft.
Quick take
The LEVOIT Core 300-P Air Purifier, Removes Dust Smoke Odor, Up to 1073 ft is the stronger fit if you want the more fully described option in new condition, with stated coverage up to 1073 ft², touch control, and contaminants listed as allergens, dust, smoke, and odor.
The Levoit HEAPAPLVNUS0147Y Air Purifier for Allergies and Asthma Large Rooms Up to is the practical pick if the lowest listed cost matters most and you are comfortable with an open-box item connected to the Core 300-RAC gray model description.
The price range runs from $39 to $72.99, with the lower-priced model listed at about 47% below the higher-priced one. That spread is large enough that the decision is less about brand and more about condition, coverage wording, and how much detail you want attached to the product.

Concise product notes
LEVOIT Core 300-P Air Purifier, Removes Dust Smoke Odor, Up to 1073 ft
This is the more complete pick for shoppers who want the cleaner condition callout and the broader stated coverage. The title and attributes tie it to dust, smoke, odor, and allergens, while the description adds a pre-installed 3-stage filter, sleep mode language, and a compact upright form. The white finish and touch controls also make it easier to picture in a bedroom, office, or general home setting. Its main limitation is cost: it is the highest-priced choice here, so the extra spend is best justified if the new condition and larger stated room application matter to you.
Levoit HEAPAPLVNUS0147Y Air Purifier for Allergies and Asthma Large Rooms Up to
This model is the better fit for shoppers who are focused on paying less while staying with a Levoit air purifier. The description connects it with the Core 300-RAC in gray and describes use for large rooms up to 547 sq. ft., with quiet operation language and a 7.50 lb weight. It also names multiple filter choices, including pet allergy, smoke, and toxin options. The tradeoff is the condition: it is marked open box, and the title is less complete than the Core 300-P title, so it is a less straightforward choice if you want the tidiest product presentation.
How to choose for your room
Start with the room wording. The Core 300-P has the larger stated application, while the HEAPAPLVNUS0147Y/Core 300-RAC description points to a smaller large-room figure. If you are choosing for a compact bedroom, home office, or single living area, either may be worth considering based on your comfort with condition and price. If you are comparing for a larger open space, the Core 300-P is the clearer match because the application figure is higher and the product title itself emphasizes removal of dust, smoke, and odor.
Condition is the second major divider. A new item is usually the simpler choice for shoppers who do not want to think about packaging condition or prior handling. An open-box item can still be appealing when the listed price is substantially lower, but the condition label should be part of the decision rather than an afterthought.
Controls and appearance may also matter. The Core 300-P has touch controls and a white color in its attributes. The HEAPAPLVNUS0147Y/Core 300-RAC description presents the model as gray. If the purifier will sit in a visible area, color and control style can be practical everyday details rather than minor extras.
Final recommendation
For the broadest, most straightforward choice, pick the LEVOIT Core 300-P Air Purifier, Removes Dust Smoke Odor, Up to 1073 ft at USD 72.99. It is the new item, has the higher stated room application, and includes clearer feature language around touch control, allergens, dust, smoke, odor, sleep mode, and the included filter setup.
For the lowest listed spend, pick the Levoit HEAPAPLVNUS0147Y Air Purifier for Allergies and Asthma Large Rooms Up to at USD 39.00. Its appeal is the lower price and Core 300-RAC gray model description, but the open-box condition is the key compromise.
If your decision is close, use the 47% price gap as the tie-breaker. Choose the Core 300-P when new condition and the larger stated coverage are worth paying more for. Choose the HEAPAPLVNUS0147Y/Core 300-RAC when the lower listed cost matters more than having the fuller Core 300-P feature and condition profile.
