"Last year there were wildfires nearby and the airmega kicked itself into high gear (I keep it on auto), so I do really trust that it’s actually doing something."


"The sensors are amazing. ... Yes whenever I cook or smoke they instantly kick on and work really well."


"great to put it on eco mode , as it detects poor air quality it automatically switches modes to higher setting and shows it as purple or red and once air is back to being good it goes back to eco mode and shows blue."

Second, we've got 2, they're great. The Airmega 200 is basically the same unit too. Multiple smaller air purifiers tends to work a lot better than single big ones.

Sorry, what "air quality problems"? Can't say we've noticed any, with our 3 air purifiers running 24/7 in a one-bedroom apartment... 😉 (Both of us have pollen allergies and one of us has asthma.) That should answer your question. Seriously, buy an air purifier. Once you feel the difference you'll probably end up getting a few more. We've got two of the medium Coway models (Airmega AP-1512HH or 200M) and a smaller BlueAir. They also help with smells -- bathroom, pet, or cooking. Highly recommend the Coways because they: * Are whisper-quiet on all but the highest setting, and can auto-adjust (though we usually leave them on medium because they get loud if they kick into high). * Move a lot of air for their size * Have filters that last way longer than they're rated for (as long as you clean the prefilter) * You can turn the main light on the purifier off for use in a bedroom at night Tip: it's better to get several medium air purifiers and put one in each room or area rather than getting just one big one.

They don't really work if you have an active infestation. Ive got 4 lg ones in an 800sq ft house and I swear they do almost nothing. We even have this electrostatic filter in the hvac and still I've get systems when the doors close or the AC goes on. I have 2x airmega 200s, germ guardian rated for 900 sq ft, coway with uv rated for 600 sq ft. 2 upstairs and one down. If I were you id try to build the biggest Rosenthal filter or several as they don't get down hall ways or around stairs, etc. The think I don't like is they really tank your electric bill and are very noisy, as they have to stay on high mode.

Agreed on coway! They have a pet filter for two of their units too, the AP-1512HH and the 200M. It specifically tackles pet odor, dander and ammonia stuff in the air from pet waste.

We have that one and it's sensitive as hell. Our neighbors smoke weed in their bathroom and that sets it off.

Conway Airmega 200M (or AP-1512HH, basically the same with different look) has been one of the most recommended for years. Not only are official filters likely to be available, there are tons of aftermarket options available as well. I don't really have power failures where I am, but I just pulled the cord for 30 seconds, and when it came back on it was still in the previous mode from before I pulled it. All the other options fit your critera pretty well. My only complaint is the blue air quality light on the top panel is brigher than I want in my bedroom, but I just put some tape over it. You can get LIGHTDIMS or similar to do the job and look good doing it. Those are highly reommended in general...

I don't know anything about that one. It uses a different filter set, but probably fine. If filter availability is a primary concern, the AP-1512HH or 200m are tops. If looks and performace are primary concerns, maybe check out rtings who is doing the best analytical testing at the moment and see if any of them float your boat. https://www.rtings.com/air-purifier/reviews/best/bedrooms

These worked very well for me when my area was inundated with smoke. My house is old and porous, so it was fairly smoky inside without them. I started with one that I would move with me from room to room. I now have 3 plus one smaller model. Edit: Coway has another model that is exactly the same but with a nicer looking front plate. I think it might be the 200?? I don’t know for sure. It takes the exact same filters as the 1512.

I have a Whirlpool Whispure that is about ten years old and has performed well, but I think you can get a similar sized Conway Airmega 200M for about half the price, and they are very well rated. A full filter set lasts for a year, you change the carbon prefilter every three months. The filter set will cost you about $35 each year.

I have the Coway Airmega 200M in my office which is approx 10x12. I also have an AirGradient indoor sensor. My particulate readings with the air filter are almost always at 0 for PM2.5, PM0.3 and PM1 readings.

Coway purifiers have an eco mode that turn off when the air is “clean” for like 30 minutes, then will turn back on when it senses the air quality level has worsened. That being said I keep on auto mode which runs 24 x7 and just changes speed when it senses the quality is getting bad.
