Anyway, the Levoit Core 600s is their best value large unit with 390CFM power and 3,000 sq foot coverage. This means it can give 6x excellent air changes per hour in a living room sized space of 500sq feet. (3,000 divided by 6 = 500.) But you have another 100ish square feet in bedroom likely, not getting coverage then, so if bedroom is small/medium size you can get the Core 300 for bedroom.Read thread A
