r/TwinCitiesAir Purifiers Worth it?
8 months ago

Yup, we splurged on a couple coway airmega 400 purifiers when we were living in Seattle and are glad we brought them with us to Minneapolis since we bought an older craftsman home without a duct AC system (which typically allow air filters). This past week would have been really rough for my asthma without air purifiers running!

r/AirPurifiersWhy does no one seem to buy/recommend Honeywell? Especially the newer ones quiet and efficient they look great?
about 2 months ago

I just see like the newish hap5300 for example and on paper it's very quiet and energy efficient a long time ago had a big unit from them that was Loud so I wonder if people just haven't given the newer ones a chance and they do perform well or if they just don't perform in real life like they do on paper. I'm mostly just curious I suppose. We just yesterday bought an airmega 400 and that is for sure loud but boy does it move the air.

r/AirPurifiersIs the consensus Coway Air Purifiers?
about 2 months ago

I just purchased a coway 400 and a levoit Everestair. Have had 2 winix for about two years, Honeywell and germ guardian before that. The coway feels and looks the most premium the coway and levoit both seem nicer upon initial impressions than any of the others but I have only had a few days. One of my winix motor broke about a year and a half in but people generally seem to have good experience with them? The levoit app is really nice and I already had levoit items if you like that sort of option. I bought the levoit for that purpose and the coway because it was on a good sale and recommended by so many. It's kinda loud and annoying pitch to the motor though that's probably going to vary per person

r/AirPurifiersBest Value Air Purifier? (Coway, Winix, Blueair, Shark, Sans, etc)

Just wanted to say your comments are so educational! I wish I had found this sub before purchasing my air purifiers but I did end up getting the Coway airmega 400 for my living room, coway 160 for my sons bedroom and have a few Costco winix in the other rooms. The coway sees to pick up much more dust and smells than the Winix. Currently have construction going on in our home and the coway have really picked up so much.

r/homeownersHow many have air purifiers running nonstop?

Yep! Just got one the other week for my main floor. All my bedrooms have the iPod shuffle looking coway. They are awesome. Figured that 400 would be a beast since those smaller ones have been clutch. So far...so good.

r/homeassistantWhat is the best air purifier for home you'd choose to buy? Have you noticed a major difference so far?
6 months ago

Its a little pricey, but we just bought a coway airmega 400 (non smart) and its a best of a unit. I have it set to auto so it can turn off or move a lot of air when ut feels like it needs to. I cant speak about there smart version or integrations tho.

r/AirPurifiersPossible to get an air purifier that doesn't poison the air with noxious smells?

I replaced my Coway Airmega 400 filters yesterday and have had no issues with odor I am seeing on here. My wife is insanely sensitive to smells/tastes and nothing…Win in my book

Do you have one/like it? I think Coways customer service is terrible but I like my Air Mega. I would be open to trying another brand though for a different room

Nice. I own the Airmega 300 and 400. They're probably my favorite units I've owned over the years.

r/homeownersThe Best Air Purifier for Home to Buy now? Do you find the air in your house actually better since you started using it?
5 months ago

Hey! I’ve been using the Coway Airmega 400 for a year, it's totally worth it. Dust and allergy symptoms dropped fast, and the air feels fresher. I also recommend to look for HEPA filters, CADR rating, and quiet mode. Avoid those gimmicky ionizers, in my experience they don’t do much.

r/AirPurifiersFirst Impressions - Coway Airmega 400

On a 400? I only ask because it seems my 400 filters get dirty very fast. I keep the pre filter clean.
