I have the Coway AP-1512HHS (the app-enabled Airmega, there’s also a dumb version that can’t connect) that I use via a HACS integration.
the new coway 1512hhs wifi no ozone but noise wise i recommend alenair 35i level 2 or 3 is quiet and gets 125 cfm and is prolly quietest for the cadr - check housefresh review
hate to rec NYT but Wirecutter did testing on smoke removal by air purifiers and the Coway Airmega AP-1512 won by a landslide in multiple years of testing. iirc they were testing in a 5000 sq ft office space. I've had mine for 3.5 years and I love it.
Coway AP1512HH, have had them 5+ years with dogs, kids, wildfire state, still going strong. Get the multipack replacement filters from generic vendor
We have 2 of the Coway Airmega AP1512 and one Levoit Core, definitely recommend the Coway. Got them in 2020 with a baby on the way and Covid and western wildfires fullbore, they are still going strong. Family of four and one dog.
I’m loving what I’m seeing about the coway 1512, already bought one for my bedroom. Thanks for the recommendation! For two smaller rooms would you still go for that over the coway 100? Wasn’t sure if the 100 was good enough since the rooms are smaller and I failed to mention I have 2 boys in the smaller room and my daughter has used up all available space in her room so the smaller the filter the better lol. But if the carbon filter is especially better she can move some of her dolls around to make the space for the 1512. For the winix c909 is there a reason you suggest that over coway? I saw one comparison with the 5500 that said it has a better carbon filter and does better with VOCs but the c909 I’ve read doesn’t have as good as a carbon filter and I’m having a hard time figuring out how it compares to coway
Winix 5510 and Coway Airmega 1512 is going to be the best bang for your buck.
Coway is very good. It’s not worth paying the extra for the WiFi/app capabilities. The 1512hh is what is usually recommended, but just get the one that’s the right size for your space, or if you want aesthetics. I have two 400s and I just bought a 150 for my office.
AirMega is better imo for bedroom.... 1512 lights up the room at night.
