The pollen season is still months away, true, but this is also precisely why now may be one of the best times of the year to invest in an air purifier for allergies. Many appliances get heavily discounted during the peak of winter, just to reach full price back in the spring when the demand soars through the roof. We have seen quite a few great air purifier deals floating around this week, but the best one so far has been served by Amazon ― and if you are a parent of a toddler with a serious case of hay fever, it should definitely land on your radar.

The Levoit Sprout ― a baby-friendly appliance that combines an air purifier, a night light and a white noise machine ― is now a huge $100 off and at its lowest-ever price at Amazon.

The Levoit Sprout has all the hallmarks of an excellent air purifier for nurseries, from a toddler-safe design to baby-soothing features and in-depth air quality monitoring. More importantly, this clever appliance does an excellent job of removing airborne pollutants without making excessive noise. When we measured how loud the Levoit Sprout was with a decibel-counting app, we did not note more than 48 dB — that is equivalent to a humming refrigerator or quiet office, and much lower than many of the air purifiers we tested before. It is unlikely to wake up your baby during the night.

That said, the Levoit Sprout is designed primarily with small- to medium-sized bedrooms in mind. If your kid's nursery is larger than 100 square feet (9.29 square meters), a more powerful appliance may be needed to achieve the best possible results. For the rooms smaller than that, however, the Levoit Sprout is a stellar choice — and now this excellent air purifier is cheaper than ever.

Key features: coverage of up to 639 square feet (59.4 square meters), pre-filter, True HEPA filter, activated carbon filter, white noise machine, white light, four fan speeds, auto mode, app control, Energy Star-certified

Product launched: April 2025

Price history: Before today's deal, the lowest price on the Levoit Sprout air purifier was $199.98, and for the better part of this year, the price sat at $279.99. Today's offer from Amazon brings the price down to $179.99, which is the lowest price we have ever seen.

Price comparison: Amazon: $179.99 | Levoit: $279.99

Reviews consensus: The Levoit Sprout was widely praised for its toddler-friendly design, ultra-quiet fans and impressive air-cleaning power, and many parents reported that it has significantly eased the allergy symptoms and sleep quality of their children. Many testers also gave a lot of positive feedback on the app functionality, especially in relation to its air quality monitoring features. The only complaint? The unreasonably high price.
