Coway Airmega 230 True HEPA Air Purifier with Air Quality Monitoring, Auto, and Filter Indicator, Dove White

I only purchase Coway air purifiers cause I trust their quality and what it’s made for. I have one 150 model and 300S model. I got my parent a 150 for the bedroom and a 250S model for living room. I’ve recently just got this 230 model. 230 is the best from all the ones I have and my parent. The reason why I like this one the most is because it really cleans any smell and really cleans the air. The reason I got this is because the Eaton fire in LA and were pretty close. Air got in and smells like smoke and if it smells like smoke inside the house, there’s going to be a lot of toxic stuff. So it’s hard to cook when we have to close windows and I had to seal the fireplace and a window near the kitchen so cooking is hard due to the smell. Anyways I had to cook and this model cleaned out the smell and air less than an hour. The air it blows out is pretty strong and goes quite far. I had put it between the kitchen and living room which is not big but it does what it’s suppose to do. It’s not loud but there’s sound. The sound is bearable. But I assume it has to make some kind of sound because the air blows good generous amount so that’s got to use some kind of power. I had put on level 3 for the smell of fire the first day. Next day, the living room and kitchen hardly had any smell of smoke. It has clean and sleek design and I like it’s not so chunky. It’s a good size. It’s bigger than the 150. I also like the buttons are not complicated. It’s easy to use. The tap on the buttons are sensitive and easy to touch. The one little round light to show it’s on or off and air quality is bright enough to let me know it’s on. It’s not that bright that it bothers me. Has timer, sleep mode, smart mode. All those functions are useful and not complicated to understand. If I need to buy another air purifier, this will be the model I would get. I usually prefer to buy one that provides more square footage than the space I plan to use.

I bought two 230s and 2 150s, for a 1790 square foot home. Downstairs is hardwood flooring, upstairs is fully carpeted. I have one 230 unit for all of downstairs since the dust is already minimal on that floor. A 230 in the master bedroom as it's a bigger room and typically the bigger units run quieter. I put the 2 150s into the other bedrooms that my wife and I utilize as office spaces. Upon unpackaging and setting these up (which was a total breeze by the way, documentation provided is perfect), they immediately went to work cleaning the air. The air quality sensor is extremely sensitive and the color scheme is easy to understand and the LED is bright. We kept all of our units on auto initially, and they immediately go to work cleaning the air, LEDs changing color as the air gets cleaner, the unit also getting quieter until the light is blue and the unit is whisper quiet. If the air is clean for a while the unit goes into sleep mode to save power. But as soon as we cook or do anything that may disrupt the air quality the sensors detect it and kicks the unit into gear to clean up the air. We haven't had them long enough to notice if the levels of dust have been reduced, but we can already notice an improvement in the air quality. The air is fresher and there's way less smells left lingering, especially after cooking which we do a lot of. Bacon smell was gone after a couple of hours. Maintenance seems easy enough and the company has a good reputation for support and reliability so I'm hoping these units last a good while. So far very happy and would highly recommend these if you want to clean up your air and cut down on dust and smells.

I purchased the Coway Airmega 230 in dove white. I was looking for an air purifier that worked with a smart plug...meaning that when you cut power to it and power it back on, it "remembers" the settings and comes back on automatically. This one does...with one small caveat. When power is restored via the smart plug, the unit comes back on at the same fan speed as it was at when power was cut. However, the settings for the lights on the unit are not maintained. Meaning, if you have the lights turned off, when you turn the smart plug back on, all the lights will come back on. A small annoyance but overall happy with the fan speed being maintained. The video on this review shows this scenario. I was also looking for an air purifier without an ionizer - and this one does not have an ionizer (I confirmed with Coway support before ordering). Something else that I didn't realize before receiving the purifier was that the Sleep mode this unit has seems to use a combination of a light sensor as well as the particle sensor. Example - if the unit is on Smart mode and the room gets dark and the air particle sensor doesn't detect an increase in particles for a small amount of time, the until will automatically go into Sleep mode, which turns the fan down extremely low. When the lights come back on in the room, it automatically comes out of Sleep mode after a few minutes and goes to one of the other 1-3 fan modes. This was a nice feature for Smart mode that I didn't really see advertised / explained anywhere for this particular model (some of the other Coway models have a Sleep mode described like this which is how this model seems to function too). The only downside so far with this unit are the lights on the top - especially the air quality light. It is extremely bright and in a dark room it lights up the whole room. It's nice you can turn the lights off though with the button on the top (you can turn just the air quality light off or all lights (including the mode lights). Not so nice they come back on after toggling with my smart plug, but I will solve this minor annoyance with some white tape. Overall I am very happy with this air purifier - it works great, it looks great, and I have it integrated with Apple HomeKit via a smart plug. I have as "smart" of purifier as I need from a very trusted brand now.

Wow - This may be my favorite purchase of all time. I lived in an old apartment attached to a unit with someone who smoked indoors 24/7 and my place REEKED. I had to apologize for the smell when I had people over. I tried some little purifiers, an ozone machine, scent boosters, cleaning the walls, etc.. Nothing worked. I bought this and in 24 hours the smell was gone. He kept smoking but this purifier kept the air so clean I never smelled it again. The unit was also incredibly dusty and this helped me breathe so much better at night, managed my allergies so well. The filters may be a little bit of an investment but this thing is worth the money. 10/10.

This is a really nice looking model and really feels superior in terms of air flow through the unit, resulting in more clean air. Sounds really nice for white noise also.

I have two, and they work great in the master and the family room I just hope I het good replacement filters. So many people are getting very bad smelling replacements from amazon , original Coway, as well,as Coway directly.they need to address this problem. Why buy a purifier if you can’t get proper HEPA replacements?

I bought this after returning a medify purifier that was way too loud. Ive only had it a week but I'm loving it so far. Super quiet, the auto mode works well, and I like that the back can sit against a wall without the filter being blocked.

Very stylish and really grows on you!
