I have a couple! The AirMega 100 is the smallest I have and the air mega mighty ap-1512 is the biggest— I also have the air mega 160 which is a great midsize one if your space isn’t too big. https://cowaymega.com/products/mighty-ap-1512hh?

This is the answer for reasonably priced air purifiers and it’s been the same for years. I have 2, zero issues. Filters are fairly priced. https://a.co/d/hC0PLzP Coway AP-1512HH

I have been using the [Coway AirMega](https://amzn.to/49gjTgt) for years. It has also been [Wirecutter’s](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-air-purifier/) top pick for a long time.

[Coway](https://www.amazon.com/Coway-AP-1512HH-Mighty-Purifier-White/dp/B01728NLRG) There's a black version as well. It's the best you're going to get for around $150 (usd). The replacement filters aren't insanely expensive, and are readily available. Put it on "mid" in terms of the fan, and it will do the thing somewhat silently. I have two, and I replace the filters every year. I have pets, I live very high in the mountains in a VERY dry climate, and have allergies. This is the one you want : ) p.s. Also, get a humidifier. Just a simple one from Vicks or some other off brand. Humidity in the air does wonders in terms of pollens. Basically you're putting water into the air, which reduces dust and all the other stuff that's not good for you.

I'd go with an Coway Airmega AP-1512HH. They're on sale right now for $159 anHEPA filters that are about $40 for two which come with charcoal filters as well. They cover about 360sq feet and on the "mid" setting they're powerful but quiet. Good luck!

Thanks. I first bought one for $139 and really liked it, then found another in a second hand store for $20. They "do the thing" and for a long time they were the go to for a good purifier. It seems they've released a sequel ("Max" something or other) that's like $240, and a total waste of money : (

Wait until Coway Airmega AP-1512HH go on sale and get two. I got one for $150. I found another for $20 at a Goodwill. Unfortunately right now they're $229.

Conway 1512HH, don't forget to take the plastic off the filters when you turn it on :)
