The smallest cartridge in this catalog, and the one with the most third-party listings behind it.
Core Mini-RF is the cartridge for the smallest machine in the Levoit Core line. It is also the code with the most alternatives in this catalog: one genuine part and two third-party listings, all naming the Core Mini-P.
That the two third-party listings name exactly the same machine is worth noticing. Neither has been extended here to cover anything the seller did not state, and the difference between them is what else is in the box rather than what they claim to fit.
Small machines run continuously on desks and nightstands, which means the cartridge in one gets more hours per month than the same cartridge in a machine that runs on a schedule. That is a reason to think about the interval, not a reason to change the part.

Genuine
Sold by the company that built the machine. The compatibility statement comes from the party who designed the airflow path.
Levoit Core Mini-RF Filter
The genuine cartridge for the Core Mini-P, the smallest machine in the Core line. The listing states AHAM Verifide status and activated carbon. Small machines tend to live on desks and nightstands where they run constantly, so the schedule matters more here than the size of the cartridge suggests.
What the listing supports, and what it does not
Model code is stated plainly for matching against the old cartridge
Genuine Levoit part rather than a compatibility assertion
AHAM Verifide status is stated
Activated carbon is stated as part of the assembly
Covers the Core Mini-P only per the listing
One cartridge per order in a machine that often runs around the clock
The smallest cartridge in the range holds the least material
Fit is asserted by the seller, not by the appliance manufacturer. Read the named model list against the label on your own machine.
Cabiclean Core Mini-RF Compatible Filter, 2-pack
2 per box
Third-party listing
A third-party Core Mini cartridge, two per box, whose listing states compatibility with the Levoit Core Mini-P and mentions included fragrance sponges. The compatibility statement comes from the seller. The fragrance sponges are an addition the genuine part does not have, and whether that is a feature depends entirely on whether anyone in the room wants scent added to the air.
What the listing supports, and what it does not
Two cartridges per order for a machine that runs continuously
The listing names the Core Mini-P specifically
Fragrance sponges are included according to the listing, for those who want them
An alternative when the genuine cartridge is unavailable
Compatibility is a seller statement, not a Levoit statement
Added fragrance is not something everyone wants in a small room
Third-party media is not verified against the machine maker specification
Best forA Core Mini-P owner comfortable with a seller compatibility claim and interested in the scent option.
The plainer of the two third-party Core Mini listings: two cartridges per box, and a stated compatibility with Levoit Core Mini-P purifiers with nothing added. No fragrance sponges, no extra descriptions. The compatibility statement is still the seller speaking rather than Levoit.
What the listing supports, and what it does not
Two cartridges per order
The listing names the Core Mini-P without hedging around a family name
No added fragrance components in the pack
Straightforward listing with little to misread
Compatibility is asserted by the seller and not by Levoit
The listing states less about construction than the genuine part does
No AHAM Verifide status is stated in the listing
Best forA Core Mini-P where a plain compatible cartridge without extras is what is wanted.
2 entries sit below, drawn from 1 genuine and 2 third-party listings for Core Mini-RF. Each one is here because a listing names it, and no numbering pattern has been read as a compatibility claim.

How to check your own
Twist off the base of the machine — the Core Mini opens from underneath rather than through a side door.
Read the code printed on the plastic rim of the cartridge you removed.
Confirm against the sticker inside the machine body if the cartridge printing has worn.
Read which machines the listing names, and check that name against the label on your own unit.
When it gets changed
Levoit publishes an interval for the Core Mini and the machine signals when it considers the cartridge due. A unit that runs around the clock reaches that point sooner than the stated interval assumes, and the two-packs on this page exist for exactly that reason.
