Airmega Mighty2 AP-1512N

Just got mine and it is very quiet, even on speed 2. Moved my old Winix to the living room and have the Coway in the bedroom. Much quieter and highly recommend.

Have both Levoit and Coway. I’d prioritise Coway in a heartbeat. Top wirecutter option for 10 years.. The new (Mar 2026) Coway Airmega Mighty2 AP-1512N is supposedly even better again.

No, just the AP-1512

Same here! Got one for each room last year, and very satisfied with it so far.

Second the Coway Airmega! It is a beast, honestly. I’ve had it in my bedroom for over a year now, and you can literally feel the difference in air quality. 

I bought the coway airmega last year and love it ever since. The filter is really easy to change and it runs pretty quietly on low settings.

I don't know about car-specific air filters, but I've been very happy with the Coway HP-1512 room air cleaner that I bought in 2016, so I'd check on whether Coway makes a product for cars/trucks. I second the advice about getting an air quality tester, I've been thinking about getting one myself.

I have a Coway hp-1512, bought it in 2016, so far it's lasted over four times as long as the several Honeywell filters I bought before it (All of which died after about 2 years). The coway disposable paper filters are a little expensive. But according to reviews that is outweighed in the long run by the brushless motor, which uses less electricity (and is also more durable because there's no physical brush contact), and by the air quality sensor which can ramp speed up and down as necessary, again saving electricity.

I actually have something very like a controlled experiment, and the answer is that the power bills aren't significantly different. The experiment is that I live in a small apartment building that I own with my brother. We live in two apartments, net door to each other, and in most regards our electricity usage is very similar (similar appliances, etc), except that I also have a room air cleaner. Our electric bills are very similar. I have a Coway HP-1512, not a Winix. One of the reasons I bought the Coway is energy efficiency, which it gets from: a) It uses a brushless motor, which inherently more energy efficient. b) An air quality sensor that turns the speed up and down as needed, so it's not running full speed 24x7. I'll also say that the Coway has, so far, lasted ten years (bought in 2016), while the previous three air cleaners (Honeywells) died after 2-3 years. I'm pretty impressed with the Coway. The filters could be more affordable, but (according to an independent reviewer) the Coway's air quality sensor/variable rate, and prefilter, make the more expensive filters last longer than the cheaper filters on other air cleaners. So it evens out in the long run.

If aesthetics and noise levels are important to you, Coway ProX for the main living space (assuming it’s large-ish) and any Coway “medium spaces” unit (use their website to filter) for the Bedroom. Total ~$1k. If aesthetics and noise levels are not important, two AirFanta 3Pro, run on Medium-High, about $400. If aesthetics are not important but noise is, four AirFanta 3Pro, run on Low or Medium-Low, about $800. If your budget is a little flexible and you want the highest CADR with the smallest footprint and lowest noise, a SMART AIR BLAST - MKII for the main living space (about $1,100) and any Coway “medium spaces” unit. Total, about $1,500.

We really like our Levoit brand ones. Locally our energy company has discounts on them if you buy through their program so I would do that if I was buying another, may be worth checking.  The coway air mega mighty are also popular. We stayed with friends out west during one of the big fire years and it was amazing at both the smoke and the dog hair from their dog. 

I have a beyond by aerus. Huge thing and cost several grand, however family can still smell. I vape in basement, only complaints are when im actually vaping and not from grinding or bud itself. I use mighty + and venty, had to get rid of arizer eq because too smelly. Regardless of speed setting, I cant seem to get rid of the smell. I vape in basement which is fairly open and large, and they are upstairs. Ialso have a pellet stove and dehumidifier running also. Not sure what I do wrong but never worked for me
