PL The MagicalButter MB2e ($189) makes 2 to 5 cups per cycle with a built-in blender, while the LĒVO II+ ($329) is a pod machine for up to 2 cups with a decarb mode. The MagicalButter MB2e is the bigger and cheaper machine: 2 to 5 cups per cycle for $189, with a built-in blender. It suits community cooking, sharing, and budget buyers who enjoy being hands on. The LĒVO II+ is a $329 pod machine for up to 2 cups, with a decarb mode and dishwasher-safe parts. It suits people who mainly want oil infusion and do not need high-potency products. If you want decarboxylation, infusion and ethanol extraction in one machine for small, fresh batches, the NOIDS Herb Lab is the third option in the table.

Capacity and price
The MB2e costs $140 less than the LĒVO II+ and holds up to about two and a half times as much: 1,180 ml against 16 fl oz, about 473 ml. That is our arithmetic on the two makers' own figures. MagicalButter also states a minimum of 2 cups, so it is built for batches of that size and up. LĒVO measures its pod by flower: up to 7 grams, or 14 grams with the double pod method. Its own product page carries the customer note "Some users note they wish for larger capacity pods to handle bigger batches".
Decarboxylation
The LĒVO II+ has an Activate (Decarb) function in the machine. The MB2e does not list a decarb function, and MagicalButter sells its DecarBox as a separate product, so decarboxylation is a separate step before the machine. If you want both steps as presets in one appliance, the NOIDS Herb Lab runs decarboxylation at 110 C or 115 C and then infusion at 100 C, and calculates the cycle time from what is in the beaker.
Cleaning
The LĒVO reservoir is removable and its makers describe "All dishwasher safe removable parts". MagicalButter's guidance is to rinse the pitcher and blades and not to immerse any electrical or black plastic parts, so the MB2e is cleaned in place. The NOIDS Herb Lab glass beaker and filter set both go in the dishwasher.
Who each one suits
MagicalButter MB2e
Community cooking and sharing, and budget buyers who enjoy being hands on: the largest batch for the lowest price, with a blender doing the work.
LĒVO II+
People who mainly want oil infusion with little effort and do not need high-potency products: a pod, an app and dishwasher-safe parts.
NOIDS Herb Lab
One person or a household that wants quality and ease: small batches, always fresh, with no minimum amount, decarboxylation and infusion as presets, and ethanol extraction with solvent recovery in the same machine.

Questions people ask
Can you decarb in a Magical Butter machine?
The MB2e does not list a decarboxylation function. MagicalButter sells a separate DecarBox for that step, so you decarb in the oven first and then infuse in the machine. The LĒVO II+ and the NOIDS Herb Lab both have a decarb cycle built in.
Is LEVO better than Magical Butter?
They suit different cooks. The MB2e makes more per cycle for less money and suits sharing and hands-on cooking. The LĒVO II+ suits people who mainly want oil infusion with little effort, with a decarb mode and dishwasher-safe parts.
Which is easier to clean, LEVO or Magical Butter?
The LĒVO II+, because its reservoir is removable and dishwasher safe. MagicalButter's guidance is to rinse the pitcher and blades in place without immersing electrical or black plastic parts.
Can Magical Butter or LEVO make tinctures?
MagicalButter states that tinctures take about 4 hours in the MB2e. Neither the MagicalButter nor the LĒVO product page describes evaporating the alcohol afterwards or collecting it again. The NOIDS Herb Lab has an ethanol evaporation cycle with a condenser for that step.
