I got the Airmega 150 for the aesthetic, in my opinion Coway Airmega AP-1512HH is way much better if you want a real air purifier. (more quiet and much much more efficient.)
Does it matter that the carbon pellets don't fill the cells in the filter? I would think there couldn't be any gaps for the air to flow through them properly? I hope I'm wrong.
Coway does make some decent air purifiers for the money. They don't actually perform at a HEPA level in the real world (just like 98% of the 'HEPA' air purifiers) and they're not good for ultrafine particles (.1 to .003 Microns) either but for larger particles they are decent for the money and better than most options out there, IMO.
How about for preventing Covid spread in a home? Do you think multiple coway mightys will help with that? Currently using corsi boxes but they are loud. Do you think the mighty is as effective as a standard sized corsi?
I have the 400s for over than 1 year I’m so happy with it , looking to get another one for out master bedroom not sure should I get the 250s ? Or the mighty ?
Would a basic fan paired with a larger CFM air purifier improve room coverage? Maybe simply moving the air would help larger units access more air to take advantage of its stronger processing ability. Multiple units means more noise and more maintenance that I would like to avoid.
So, what unit do you recommend for a 750sf apt with vaulted ceilings that’s located in a state that’s burning to the ground around it? Is there an equation you use to determine cfm and sf?
Only an ionizer can generate ozone and on most air purifiers the ionizer can be turned off. Note that even if it's not turned off, most models are still safe to use: ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/air-cleaners-ozone-products/california-certified-air-cleaning-devices
I just bought this air purifier, I tried to turn it on but it is not working. Only the speed buttons 1 and 2 flashing. Any idea how to make it start working
The 200M is essentially identical to the Mighty (other than having a different front grille and the ability to turn certain LED illumination off) and so most of what I say about the Mighty also applies to the 200M.
@@consumer-analysis Yeah, similar specs, but so much quieter due to the increased intake and exhaust surface area. The filters are often cheaper than the Mighty on Amazon, as well.

They are sealed. Though it doesn't really matter as much as you might think because the HEPA filter would capture any particles that pass by eventually anyway.
You illogically stated that the larger CFM units do not clear air quicker than the smaller CFM units in a smaller room and concluded that those larger CFM units therefore cannot work in a larger room. That does not follow of course. I suggest that you do your tests in a larger room before making that claim. That's only common sense. Obviously if the larger unit draws in more air because it is passing air faster through the unit then it would work better in the larger room than the smaller unit. In a small room, by the time the smaller unit has run its small volume of air through in its first pass, the larger unit has already completed that volume of air and would be running it through in a second pass. If the filtering is good, one shouldn't need more than a few pass through to clear the air. And so the air quality results would be comparable for both in a small room. The smaller unit most likely cannot draw enough air to even attempt what the larger unit can do in the larger room. But whether that is the case or not, you have not shown that you even ran any test in a larger room to justify your claim about the larger room. Run the test and THEN make your claim about the matter. Your inference from the smaller room results does not have any bearing on your claim.
I did test extensively in a larger room. All of my claims about large room performance are based on that testing. I am not simply making inferences based on only testing in a smaller room. For example, see my 150 sq. ft. room (smaller room) test results at the top of this review: www.consumeranalysis.com/guides/air-purifiers/winix-5500-2-review/ vs this one www.consumeranalysis.com/guides/air-purifiers/coway-airmega-review/ In a small room - the higher CFM unit essentially cleans the air twice as fast. The same was not the case in my large room testing. For more detailed analysis of air purifiers for large rooms see the guide I wrote on this topic here: www.consumeranalysis.com/guides/air-purifiers/large-room-air-purifier/
@@consumer-analysis You state contradictory things in your videos. You do not state any actual test results data in any of these videos or links. Prove to yourself that the relationship is not linear w.r.t. CFM (or CADR) and room volume by doing actual tests of the time it takes to reduce the pollutants in different sized rooms. If it turns out that, like you contend in another video, you ONLY need two 250-CFM units to clear the same volume in the same time as one 500-CFM unit, that will show up in actual test data of sensors at various points in the large room. I do not accept this contention of yours without you showing that data. I believe that it would take about 4 250-CFM units to reduce the pollutants that one 500-CFM would do over the whole larger volume. Show the particle counts over time within octants of a rectangular room filled with smoke to prove this contention of yours.
FIRST OFF HAVE YOU EVER BOTHERED TO TRY A COUPLE OF WINIX OR COWAY 250 CFM UNITS IN THE SAME ROOM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD DO A BETTER JOB THAN ONE ALONE? You keep talking about just by multiple units and put it in the same room. It does better but I haven't seen you do the experiment? Maybe it wouldn't make any difference either If they're in the same room? Or maybe the room is already clean enough and it can't be cleaned anymore with any unit no matter how many put in the room you can only get a room so clean. The only way to to test these big units is to put them in a room that they claim it can clean! DO YOU HAVE A 1500 FT² ROOM? THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY VALID WAY TO MAKE YOUR POINT!! Then you would have to test both units in there for 1 hour and see what they both do.. Have you ever challenged them why they make those claims.. MAYBE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A 1500 FT² ROOM!! I think your claims are very limited because of the size of the rooms you're doing stuff in.. No offense but they obviously have much better equipment than you have, bigger rooms and have a much higher budget.. They claim the 400 can clean See below. 2 air changes/hr.* 1,560 sq. ft. (145 sq. m) 4 air changes/hr.** 780 sq. ft. (72 sq. m) If you claim that you are right and they are wrong don't you think you have the obligation to tell them your findings and find out how they're doing their testing? Also when it comes to the filtration are you testing all types of gases? How good at these units are getting rid of gases and how good is one HEPA filter from the other. There's a lot more than just CFM That's all you guys care about.. . And then you're also contradiction yourself And one breath you're always talking about CFMs and then you're saying just because something has a higher CFM it doesn't mean it's better 😂🤣😂🤣 Very hypocritical. It just doesn't make sense how you keep talking about and all of your videos how CFM makes a difference The higher the better. And then you're saying in another video the 400 series does a CFM of almost 430 but in tests it doesn't do better? It just doesn't make any sense.
AND YOUR LOGIC IS FLAWED!! You're saying that higher CFMs make the pollution go down in bigger rooms. But yet you're saying the higher CFMs with the bigger units made no difference. And they have 2 sets of filters. But you're saying adding two separate machines with two separate filters obviously adding double the CFMs will now change everything.. THAT IS SO HYPOCRITICAL AND DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!! And I don't think you've even done that experiment to back up your statements.. I don't think you have a 1,500-ft room to even back up what you have to say.. As I've stated maybe there's no difference because the room that you're using can only be cleaned so much so it doesn't matter how big of a unit you have in there. You're only valid if you have a 1500-ft-room or even a 1500 ft apartment in your run them both for an hour on different days or something on their highest speeds using the highest CFMs and then seeing what you get at the end.. That is the only valid way.. My guess is if you did that the one with the higher CFM would probably clean more and work better. But you cannot do that experiment in a room that can only be cleaned so much.. And like I said is hypocritical statements being made all over the place.. You're always mentioning higher CFMs matter all over your videos!! Then you're staying the higher CFMs don't make a difference if you're buying these units. But you're saying if you add more CFM's from a separate unit that's going to make a difference? Do you see how unlogical you sound? 😂🤣😂 Logic says if you have a bigger unit that has double the CFMs it should clean a room double the size. Logic says if you buy two units that equal the same CFMs as the bigger unit it will also clean exactly like the bigger unit the same square footage.. I guess the only difference would probably be the two separate units will probably cost less money.. THAT MAKES SENSE.. BUT SAYING THE BIGGER UNIT WITH MORE CFMS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE THAT HAS DOUBLE FILTERS IS JUST ILLOGICAL.. YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG !! Like I said the only thing I can think of is that your room is too small to give the big units a chance to do what it's supposed to do.. It can only clean that room so well no matter what size you put in it.. in other words the room is too small..

Interested about feedback on the Airmega 250 model. Thanks for leaving this great video!
Hi can you review Coway Airmega 150? I like the price point and washable pre-filter but I don't know the CFM and that worries me.
I got the Airmega 150 for the aesthetic, in my opinion Coway Airmega AP-1512HH is way much better if you want a real air purifier. (more quiet and much much more efficient.)
How are these to compared to the coway storm AP-1516D?

My written guide covers how to properly size an air purifier: www.consumeranalysis.com/guides/air-purifiers/best-air-purifier/
What's the CADR score on these filters?
What about the Coway Airmega 250 ?
I read some reviews where people are concerned about ozone is that something to be worried about?
Only an ionizer can generate ozone and on most air purifiers the ionizer can be turned off. Note that even if it's not turned off, most models are still safe to use: ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/air-cleaners-ozone-products/california-certified-air-cleaning-devices

Did you take the plastic off of the filters before you turned it on?
The Coway 1512HH looks different when I looked it up online. Is it just an upgraded look?
Oops forget it, I just realized you took the cover off so we can see the filter. Silly me.
Hello, can you do a review / comparison of the Coway Airmega 200m? They're sometimes cheaper than the Mighty.
I have been looking for this as well! The Mighty is good but I would like to utilize the 200m for a larger room (300sqft)
The 200M is essentially identical to the Mighty (other than having a different front grille and the ability to turn certain LED illumination off) and so most of what I say about the Mighty also applies to the 200M.
@@consumer-analysis Thank you for this follow up!!!
I noticed the sale price on black 200M, it caught my eye. Read in a different review it is not energy star or carb approved, the 1512 is.
@Consumer Analysis Have you tested the "Coway Tower Mighty True HEPA Air Purifier"? what do you think about that one?
I haven't had a chance to test it yet but looking at its specifications it should have very similar performance to the regular "Mighty" air purifier.
@@consumer-analysis Yeah, similar specs, but so much quieter due to the increased intake and exhaust surface area. The filters are often cheaper than the Mighty on Amazon, as well.
This is so good. Let me subscribe this channel. Good job !!
Would you recommend the Mighty for cigar smoking indoors?
Yes, it should work well for that application as long as the room is smaller than 300 sq. ft.
@@consumer-analysis Thanks for the quick reply! How does it do in the odor removing department?

May you review coway breeze or compare coway mighty with coway breeze. I want to know which is better choice
The Coway Breeze is unfortunately not readily available in the United States so it's unlikely that I'll review it.
If I can get a iqair for 300 good buy??
From your top three which air purifier is best for allergy, asthma, pet, dandruff and odor. Look for one that helps with everything I just listed.
Hi, can you review on Coway Lombok 2?
Unfortunately, the Lombok 2 isn't sold in the United States so I'm highly unlikely to be able to review it.
Lately, Winix came out with an air cleaner/purifier with a more than 360 cfm.
Do you have a review about it? Thank you
If you can let me know the model no. I can look into it.
Are these sealed systems, and would that really matter?
They are sealed. Though it doesn't really matter as much as you might think because the HEPA filter would capture any particles that pass by eventually anyway.
Wait… so double the speed of air being filtered by two filters means POS? Am I really that bad with math?
Don't forget that only Airmega series is ozone free. So Mighty is not suited especially if you have small children.
Untrue. Ionisation is optional.
All these Imperial units.....
My Coway worked great for about eight months then stopped sensing. Coway support is worthless.
