Exact variantVital 200S-P, Black / LAP-V201S-WUSUS MinusA2
Dimensions15.6 × 8.5 × 19.8 in (width × depth × height), or 39.6 × 21.7 × 50.2 cm. It weighs 13.2 lb (6 kg).20 × 21.4 × 7 in (height × width × depth). Another spec section on the same page gives the height as 20.25 in. It weighs 19.4 lb, and the power cord is 9.33 ft.
InstallationNo installation. It sits on the floor or another flat, stable surface and runs from the included AC adapter (24 V, 2.5 A). The manual asks for at least 15 in (38 cm) of open space in front. Keep it away from curtains, damp spots and heat sources, and 5 ft from where oxygen is in use.None needed to stand it on the floor. It plugs into a 120 V outlet. A wall-mount kit comes in the box, and the manual says to drive the hanger screws into studs. On a wall it needs 2 ft of space below the ceiling and 8 in on each side. On the floor it needs 2 ft clear at the air outlet and 8 in at the intakes on each side.
MaterialsIt has three stages: a washable pre-filter, a main filter and an activated carbon layer for smoke, odors and fumes. Levoit says the main filter traps 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns. The main and carbon stages come as one replaceable filter. Levoit calls that filter HEPA-grade only in sleep mode. The carbon is FSC-certified wood carbon. The manual doesn't mention an ionizer or UV lamp. It carries a California Prop 65 warning for lead.Six stages: a washable pre-filter, a medium filter, a BioGS HEPA filter, one customized filter, an activated carbon filter and a negative ion generator. You pick the customized filter: Germ Defense, Toxin Absorber, Pet Allergy or Odor Remover. Rabbit Air says the HEPA media is treated to keep bacteria and mold from growing on the filter itself. The ion generator can be switched off.
