Coway Airmega Air Purifier on Amazon: geni.us/wy1LiA
I am not in the market for an air purifier, hardly ever in the market for any of the products VW reviews… Yet I find myself intensely watching every episode. He’s a good presenter!
If you live in the US and don't understand the need for a high performance hepa filter after activist judges have destroyed clean air in this country you never will.
@@f_youtubecensorshipf_nazis Yeah, OK Mr. Conspiracy theorist, you are wearing your tin foil hat a little too tightly.
@@sdcoinshooter he isn’t a conspiracy theorist, strongly worded. But seriously, senetors and politicians are bought out so easily in the US by companies that continue to pollute the air we share in the name of profit. Just look it up…
Side note: the reason air purifiers are needed for some even in countries or places where the air outside isn’t visibly polluted is that indoor air can accumulate airborne allergens over time like dust, mites, bacteria, mold spores, vocs, etc and particularly those who are more allergic can suffer the effects of indoor air pollution, indoor air is said to be up to 100x more polluted…
😊😊😊😊yesssss
Have you ever considered reviewing a vacuum that uses water as a form of filtration, such as Rainbow vacuums? My family has owned a rainbow vacuum for the past two decades and it still runs well with very little maintenance. Reliability aside, I am kind of curious to see how they would fare in your vacuum tests
We bought a Coway Airmega 2 last year and have been extremely pleased. It is used in our bedroom and has really helped with our allergies. It has a wonderful sleep mode which turns off the indicator light in a darkened room and we can scarcely hear it running overnight. The design is more retro which suits our 1950's home perfectly.
Ive had this in my amazon wish list for a while. thanks for an excellent review
I just started looking into Air Purifiers and after a while I decided on 2 of the Coway 400S for my home (1 upstairs and 1 downstairs). I hope you do more video reviews for these as there wasn't a whole lot online that showed the differences between many popular units. Thanks.
I am loving these air purifier reviews! I have an Orsani Mod and Mod Jr. at my house since my wife as terrible allergies. It works well for our uses, so I wonder how it compares to others.
Just bought one. You have to take off the plastic coverings on the filters of course but make sure when your putting the black filter back in that it is secure in its frame holder and that it “ snaps “ into place into the unit as the first time I did it and put the cover back on I felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the filter wasn’t snapped in its proper position. I fixed it and now it ok. Excellent review and I hope my unit works perfectly for me.
We have the black one in our bedroom for upwards of two years.
We are very pleased with the efficiency and how quiet it is.
Very easy to clean as well.😊
I'm really excited to see that you've started to do air purifier reviews and comparisons. I have followed your channel for several years and have used your reviews to inform purchasing decisions on multiple occasions. My wife and I have been debating between a more traditional HEPA filter-based purifier (The newer Wyze air filter) and one of the photocatalytic oxidation-based air purifiers (puraclenz). I'm a bit skeptical of the claims of the puraclenz but it is an interesting concept. Any chance either of those two air filters/purifiers are on your upcoming list?
This is one of the best product reviews of any type I have seen, ever. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
I've had one of these for a few years and I'm still super happy with it. Makes a noticeable difference in my allergies especially since I have cats.
I have one of these - or maybe its lookalike predecessor - that I got about 4 years ago and I love it. I leave the ionizer on - it doesn’t seem to generate any ozone and it causes particulates to fall out of the air and surround the purifier. Better on the floor than in my lungs. Even tho it costs about twice as much now as it did then it would still be my go to choice for an air purifier.
Looks like an ipod shuffle!
I still use my shuffle to this day...I love it. So tiny and I would never use bluetooth...what a scam for music that is! Anyhow, that's exactly what I thought, so when I unboxed it I covered the front branding with white tape and hide the cord, picked it up...made it look like my headphones were plugged into it and walked around the house with it, acting like I was listening to music. My 3 teen daughters and my wife all know I love my shuffle so they thought I had paid someone to make a gigantic one...everyone just rolling their eyes. Because three years ago I had someone make an iPhone that was 1ft long by 7" wide and made a holster for it. It was to make fun of my wife and daughters for having iPhone Max Pro whatever...I use The Light Phone and would never use a smart phone. Anyhow, they truly thought I had someone make a gigantic Shuffle. I have no idea why I just told you all of that...I must be getting old and lonely.
4:15 you could test the ionizer as you do on the fog test. the ionizer will simply show fog/particles going down though it would be hard to see the difference as the fan is turning
I'd have loved to get more info on the quietest setting and it's effectiveness. I picked up a Levoit after the video you did with the battle a couple of months back, and even on the lowest setting it's very audible when trying to sleep so it's a bit disruptive. I suspect that might be down to the size of my bedroom where the only option is having the filter right by my bed, so maybe add a rating for how far away you need to have the filter away until you can't hear it as much?
Very thorough and detailed review, thank you!
Boom another product I ordered because of Vacuum Wars and their real-world reviews. The perfect balance of air purification and cost!!! Thanks again!
You're welcome! That is so good to hear. Thank you!
Hi there great job as always. Ive made many purchases on your recommendations. Would you test the Oransi mod air purifier? I hear its the best out there, thanks.
Great review will there be a review on the Filter Queen Defender air purifier?
I’ve bought 5-6 of these. Oldest is about 6-7 years old and still going strong. Affordable too.
I have two of these and definitely they Are a life chanter since I have disgusting allergies ,, this one has been cleaning my house ,, every week I vacuum the first mesh filter to make sure is always clean
Lol @ the vacuum wars blanket. That was a nice touch. 😂
Your reviews are great. But, when it comes to air purifiers… honestly, anyone can test particle filtration. It’s easy. And even a box fan with a high MERV furnace filter attached to it will do an OK job filtering out pollen, dust, etc.
What is NOT easy is testing VOC filtration. I have gone done the rabbit hole on this. We purchased a Molekule and wanted to make sure it was working as advertised, so we also got an air quality monitor (AQM) to test it out. We returned the Molekule. We got a pair of Mila purifiers. They were nice! They had built in AQM’s and were “smart”. But we were early adopters and there were a lot of problems (inaccuracies, lack of obvious features, etc). We returned the Mila purifiers as well. We ended up with two Air Doctor purifiers (very popular amongst the Wellness community, and would love to see that one reviewed). They worked really well.
But here’s the thing. Along the road, we ended up going through a whole bunch of different AQMs. Not just the home user kind, but even a couple from TemTop, which is what Wirecutter uses for their reviews. I devised a number of improvised tests to try and see if these expensive purifiers were actually doing what they claimed for the air in my home. Throughout this … journey… the biggest problem was always VOCs. It’s confusing even to try and measure. Most AQMs that say they measure total VOC (TVOC) don’t actually measure ALL possible VOCs as far as I can tell. Rather, they seem to have some subset of VOCs or classes of VOCs that they are designed to detect and measure. I really couldn’t figure out any way to verify, let alone even compare, how well any of these purifiers I owned performed when it came to VOCs. For that matter, I couldn’t even verify or compare the performance of the AQMs. One AWM would detect VOCs the others couldn’t and vice versa. It seemed like none of them ever had readings that were even close. You can’t compare the performance of an A/C if you don’t have a reliable thermometer.
It’s been a couple of years. I’m mostly happy with my Air Doctors. Particle counts in my home are near zero most of the time if my windows are closed. But, if I cook, or clean, or buy new furniture, or if there were a problem with some kind of other source of VOCs in my home, I wouldn’t trust any purifier on the market to protect me, or even make much of a difference. Because I’ve been unable to observe a single instance from any of the products I’ve tried where that happened. I also wouldn’t even be confident that any of the several different AQMs I have throughout the house would alert me to it (and, if one did, I wouldn’t be sure it wasn’t a false positive).
Excellent review! I’m considering the Air Doctor 3000. Can you review it?
Saw this on sale and want one for a cigar room I’m building. Looked for a review and this is by far the best review off them all and it made me buy this one.
Nice! hope you are happy with it!
I bought mine in January of 2016, following Wirecutter's recommendation as the time
We’ve had one of these running in our house continuously on medium speed for 2 years now, and it makes an appreciable difference in air quality. I do wonder if other purifiers might be faster at removing certain smells but we leave it next to the litter box to control the smell and dust, and it does so very well.
Does this also help with cat hair? Currently when I vacuum and sweep I just have so much cat hair
If you get the chance can you test the Proscenic A9 purifier. Thank you
Could you buy an aftermarket premium charcoal filter for odors?
I bought one of these years ago when I developed severe allergies, and I couldn't afford an IQAir. What really cinched it for me is I left it running all day on high while my landlord was painting the apartment. When I left, there was a very strong overpowering latex paint smell. When I came home, there was NO SMELL at all. I expected there to still be some smell of some kind, but there was none, not unless I stood against the wall and really looked for it. I can be cooking or cleaning in another room down the hall, and I will hear it kick on to rev up its filtration.
I've had one of if these for a couple years. The price had increased like everything but still happy with it
Very helpful. Thank you for your comprehensive research. God bless you.
You are very welcome! Thank you!
Hey, I was thinking about getting a Mila air purifier since the company says they are close to finishing HomeKit support and rolling it out this holiday season. Of course I’ve seen reviews online but in my opinion you are the best reviewer and you are unbiased with everything you do. Do you think one day you might check that out? It looks really advanced and has multiple filter types and options and it think it would go well with the air purifier series on this channel!
Thanks,
Noah
For the price, its phenomenal. That's probably because Coway has some of the best research and development of any appliance company on earth. I saw a video of them showing the airflow of the purifier in a real size room using computers, its on their website. They have strict tests that abide by south Korean filtration standards which is also how their kn94 masks are tested in case of an outbreak, all civilians have something to protect themselves. They aren't the best purifiers on earth, but for their price id say they are.
You should test blueair machines next. Love mine and they have some of the highest air cleaning power
I have seen doctors offices use and recommend Austin Air purifiers and I'd be very interested to see your thoughts on them
Take a look at Winix 5500-2. I would love to see a comparison.
Awesome video! Any plans to review the Aspen? Seems awesome but way overpriced?
Great video! I would love to see you review the Levoit 600s!
Noted! Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey Vacuum Wars voice human,
I was just looking at a Milwaukee vacuum and didn't know if you would ever do series on shop vacs. Also your shirt is cool...do you sell them?
kindest regards,
Some random human in Nebraska
Great review. Nice job.
Thank you!
you should look at the ikea air purifier lineup, they blend in with your furniture at your home!
From a couple different articles, I've used both Coway AP-1512HH and Winix 5500-2. I've been super impressed with the Winix as it's the same price (for me) as the Coway, and includes active charcoal pellets. I believe they came out with a slight more aesthetically desirable version recently. I'd recommend in your next air purifier video. (*sigh* not endorsed)
Same. I have a Winix in the kitchen since it has a voc sensor, and a levoit 600 in the main room for regular air cleaning.
Thanks for the video!
You bet!
I snagged it for $30 at Goodwill. My goodness what a great find!
Since I'm considering buying a new one for $160 _on_ _sale,_ that is an amazing find. How has it worked for you? Have you noticed less dust? What size room do you use it in?
winix 5500-2 is another popular model.
Are you going to review other wyze like the wyze air purifier or wyze Stick vacuum
I have this purifier and the larger Coway 400 purifier. I'm 57 and never had allergies in my life. That said, about 10yrs ago I noticed I was bothered much more than usual during springtime. Then we got a cat two years ago and my allergies went off the charts. It was terrible. I got the small one for our bedroom and the other sits in our living/dining room area. I can definitely tell the difference as my issues have mostly went away. I do use the ionizer here & there as I find for cats with heavy dander, it is helpful.
That is great to hear. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice and informative. As a person from another place in time, I can't thank you enough for excluding the part about ...wifi, app, download and all that crap. I thank you Sir.
You are very welcome!
I hope vacuum wars does a festool dust extractor review one day.
Would be great to see your take on the winix 5500-2. It's had the best performance for your $ for a few years as far as I can tell. Only downside is it's loud on high.
Noted! Thanks!
How does this compare to the Blue Air 211+? I’m debating between these 2 for my new house.
When do you review the tineco s5 steam? I have bought it and for me is the totally the best vacuum..it clean all the floor without any stain, remove all the clean product from the floor and no required any specific product..the only problem I have found is that speak only English, is not made for the carpet and is difficult to return to the cable after year and year of battery vacuum..but I think that the only way to have steam is with cable
Good morning. Hope you are doing well. The issue I have been having is the smell of food and laundry drain in my house. Will this help alleviate this smell? Thank you.
Wow! I have this in my bedroom.
Would you consider this close enough to the Airmega 200 to be interchangeable?
can y please review the ikea air purifier.
Can you test the Winix C545, please?
Could you do another round of best air purifiers soon? Would like Honeywells such as the HPA3300BV1 included
We can't make any promises, but we will add that Honeywell to the list of products we consider. Thanks for asking.
i need something for dust. i have a 100 square foot room full of lego. Would this help? or something smaller?
I wonder how it compares to ikea air purifiers. Looks really similar inside and filter
Aw man can you review the replacement filters? It’s cheap bc the filters are expensive
Any filters you can suggest that get 0.01? I ask since many people use 3D printers and don’t realize they need to be either using a fume extractor or filtering the environment around the machine while in operation. Lots of VOCs and nanoparticles get released while 3D printing and some materials emit more than others. Thanks
Particles smaller than 0.3 microns travel in zig-zag patterns (called Brownian motion), and are captured by quality filter at 100% efficiency. 0.3 micron is commonly known as the "worst case".
Please test a robot vacuum test to see if they are good with filtration.
Have you ever considered testing Blueair products?
I'd be way more interested in air purifiers that remove VOC's, although I'm guessing that would be harder to review?
This thing is amazing. It’s a work horse. Super quiet and very discrete. There’s absolutely NO reason to not buy it. If you have a small apartment or studio this thing will keep your air in check.
Thanks for sharing!
Discreet, not discrete (discrete means separate)
How do you measure cfm?
My sister bought two of these for her house and one for my mom's house when COVID started. I bought one for my own house too shortly after as I have bad allergies. It's crazy to hear it ramp up if I sneeze or shake out a blanket. I like how the second speed sounds like rain. My only complaint is that the light is ridiculously bright. I had to cover it with multiple layers of black tape but light still sneaks out.
If you hold the ionizer button down for three seconds, the lights and display should turn off.
@@cutiewritergrl omg thank you!
@@blondy2061h you’re welcome. Happy sleeping!
anyone knows if its possible to put the pellet filter of 1512HHS into this?some people say possible but not perfect fit etc...just wondering
You're in a unique position to test that 'controversial' ion function and actually tell us if it's nonsense or if it actually has value! This is potentially a very valuable piece of information!
Can you review the bissell turboclean? I’m a really big fan!
We've looked at the Turboclean Poowerbrush Pet right here - czcams.com/video/kciOvdqDN0E/video.html Hope that helps!
Please test the AirDoctor
Please do blueair! It’s too quiet on auto mode so I don’t even know if it works 😭
can you review mila or smartmi
My roommate picked up 2 of these to make our apartment smell less (their cooking...). For smell, it very much was plecebo effect because I would leave for an hour and come back and things would smell... then would get used to it and think the smell was gone, leave for a few minutes, come back in and the smell was still there. They swore it smelled better though. Ignoring that, the unit looked good and I believe it did clean the air as it would automatically jump from fan 1 to fan 3 whenever the roommate cooked. They took the units when they moved out and my guests and family have noted how the apartment smelled a lot better.
TL:DR - don't buy this for smell reduction, buy it to clean your air.
Could you test Rabbit Air air purifiers? That’s what we have.
Can you try xiaomi air purifiers???
Just you mentioning the whole thing with the ion just gives me more confidence to trust your judgements. I've watched several things and went through a few articles. I personally don't run any ion generator on my few devices that have the option. I think it's just a gimmick, something cheap that they can throw in for the people who want to swear by it, and can be easily turned off. That being said for anyone reading, before i turned them off and up untill now.. never noticed any difference whatsoever.
I want the other one with the mesh look I hear they perform the same
Hey vacuum wars try out the innova vacuum it’s the latest upright by eureka
Thanks for the suggestion. Definitely noted.
If I wanted a robot vacuum to clean dog hairs off my floor, not carpet, which would one would be best? I’m leaning towards the Roomba J7 but there’s so many out there it can get overwhelming
Have you seen our recent robot vacuum competition video? czcams.com/video/lRZLcft2PBc/video.html
is this better than alen?
FYI, just bought an AP-1518R(W). 200m vs 150 I believe is the only difference. Thanks Vacuum Wars
i want to take the white one for the fingerprints but on amazon coway store the white one say that is only for 33 meter room and the blac for more than 100 but they are the same prodoct they confusing me! also the others models have the green hepa filter this one have the white, instead of the link said 99.999 di 0.1 micron, the video that show you the machine sayd 99.97 0-3 microns confusing
Can you do a review on the iRobot purifier
Thank you for the suggestion. Noted!
I love mine
Glad to hear it!
New sub. I took this exact air purifier apart to clean the front. When I did a very small metal piece or something almost like a magnet fell out and It has disappeared. Ever since then it hasn’t turned back on. I have no idea to have that small piece replaced. Anyone have any ideas ? I’m at a loss for words as to what to do!
Just put a magnet to that place. Probably the machine detects the magnet to sense it is closed!
Can you test the Xiaomi 4 series air purifiers
Thank you for the suggestion!
I have a couple of other air purifiers that I would like you to review and test. The models are the Whirlpool Whispure 500 and the Nuwave Oxypure.
Mine was $300.00, plus these filters are $25 per and you should clean the system 3x a yr. I'm not sure what's the best
I have 2 Coways, but they are the 300 & 400 models. The filters are not what I'd call cheap at about 60 bucks a pop, but they only need to be changed annually. These filters do have a lot of charcoal granuals, so it appears you get what you pay for. The 300 & 400 don't have the ION button. Those air quality lights are quite accurate, in my experience. Even running an ultrasonic humidifier on the other side of the house will cause the indicator light to turn red and the fan speed to kick up to high. And several times when there have been forest fires, they've detected that before I can smell it. They are much cheaper than the IQ Air and still do a very good job.
I was wise enough to buy mine white
Are the buttons hard to press? My cat always walks on top of my air purifier and turns it off. Very annoying lol.
Hahaha one of our cats does it too... she found out it got us to get up, so she now uses it as an attention button😅
I got a dozen vivosun branded hepa filters for 20 bucks each when they were discontinued.
Charcoal is more of a gimmick in these than anything else, get a dedicated carbon filter if you're concerned with actual smell control.
you didn't mention that the filter refill they sell comes with a complete activated charcoal piece filter.
Can you share the link pls?
@@clementfrey6498 just search for ap-1512hhs filter set. there's a discount code for it too if you look. it'll upgrade your 1512hh
Does this model kills bacteria, germs, and virus?
I will be looking to purchase an air purifier at some point soon, but have you ever done any “wars” with steam cleaners?
I think ECO Mode is pronounced as "E"-co and not "Echo". But I don't like that the black is shiny piano black, that just shows fingerprints and scratches easily. And I don't want white. But companies need to start selling flat black products.
