I have the Coway 400 and a 300 and have been pleased with them. And I think there is an optional wireless interface which I don't have. Over 2 - 3 years, they've given me no trouble and are very quiet. Filters do need changing annually and they aren't cheap.
@@artsoto5459 Yes, they run all the time in auto mode and they are at opposite ends of the house. I change the filters annually and vacuum them in between to prolong the life. I've had zero issues with either of them in 3 or 4 years worth of use.
@@arevee9429 I want to get Coway 400 but I have read some reviews (granted it was a minority) claiming that some new filters have chemical smell that takes a long time to vent, including when buying them directly from the manufacturer. Have you ever experienced something like this?
I have two Nuwave OxyPure units in my home (one upstairs and one downstairs) for about 9 months now and couldn't be more happy with them. I haven't had any issues and they still work like the day I got them. Whether your making dinner or when the dog walks near it, it always knows and turns on.
I've had the Airmega 300 and 400 for several years, and have recommended them to my family as well. If you have room for them, they are quiet and do a great job keeping up with dusty air while being quiet on the non-highest speed. I've had cheaper air purifiers from Home Depot/Lowes and those became noisy/wobbly over time. The Airmega ones have been very low maintenance (just vacuum/wash the pre-filters regularly, and replace the main filters on schedule). The OxyPure sounds interesting with the long-life/washable biofilter tech. I wish the video had talked about or compared the units on lower fan-speed settings (filtration/flow-rate at equivalent decibels?). I leave mine running 24/7 on the mid-tier or automatic speed and the noise is only a problem at the highest speed setting. I specifically got the 400 so I could leave it on low in the TV room all the time.
Thanks for the review. I own this Coway and it works great. I've said it before, but just wish they weren't cheap on honeycomb carbon pellets with the refills, they have less than the ones out the box.
@@brokenwrench404 I had a winix and it wasn't great at collecting dust, the coways seem to be significantly better. At the same time, Blueair has a unit that claims to perform exceptionally well against dust but there isnt a proper review online about the real performance (dustmagnet).
Now that we release videos on Friday and Tuesday, it just made sense to bring in some more talent so we can produce our best videos. Our main guy will still be narrating plenty of videos, just not every single one.
@@VacuumWarsFirst time viewer here. On first look, I thought it was an AI generated video, so I almost immediately clicked off. Something to keep in mind for new viewers. This style definitely feels like an AI video, even though the content was good. Maybe even having a quick 20 second intro with one of the testers would likely make it seem more authentic to viewers. The content and work was great though!
looking through the reviews of the Coway, it seems that some people notice a noise from the motor after weeks/months. suggesting that they saved on the bearing or motor.
Is there a good forum or a subreddit that has user feedback on air purifiers? Would really like to see what is out there that works for people effectively for day to day use over time/many years.
@@brokenwrench404if you don't mind noise, blueair dust magnet on max settings is pretty good. Just make sure you have enough clearance for the unit and to get an oversized unit. I own 4 purifiers and the dust magnet handles dust just better.
I have had the coway airmega 400 since 2019 and love it! I keep it on smart mode except during covid if we had to have someone come by then I'd put it on high :) Works great and shocking how well it detects odors and pollution, every time it kicks on I'm happy we have it.
At 4:06 saying it’s slower because it has more filter media I believe is false. Usually the more filter surface area the higher the flow because you have more area for air to pass through. That’s why things are pleated. More area less pressure differential/less restrictions =more flow.
Good info to know! What do you think of non OEM Hepa filters? I have the Coway 400 (not S) a Levoit and an old Rowena. I'm concerned if I should be buying OEM hepas.
Worthwhile stating the Coway's claimed 66 watt usage vs the other's claimed 125 watts (if both at max I believe). Tho best if you were able to properly test these claims in case they're false advertising.
What about the Nuwave OxyPure Zero that is the same size as the regular OxyPure (for very large rooms/houses), but that has all washable filters that have a lifespan of 20 years? (It has a second washable bio filter instead of the HEPA filter.) They claim the two bio filters are better than HEPA. (So I don’t know why they are also selling one with a replaceable HEPA/carbon filter?) I can only find regular people doing unboxing videos of it, but no real performance analysis or comparisons.
I guess it's because of the carbon for VOC, but it doesn't mention it's "activated" which is weird (non-activated seems useless in comparison from what I've read)
Thanks for another great video! Really enjoyed this air purifier comparisons! However - just one small correction I'd like to add (as another comment already pointed out) - the AirMega 400 (and almost all AirMega purifiers at this point) come in both a "regular" and "smart" version. The AirMega400 (regular) does not include the wifi/app/advanced controls - BUT - the AirMega400S (Smart) does! So for that "Smart Features" score it should really be a tie :P
@@VacuumWars thank you. I know it doesn't have all the crazy connected features. But I would like to know if it's a good set it and forget it air filter to stick in a corner. I am trying to replace my TP-09 that broke.
Remember when you do these reviews to make sure you have the latest equivalent models. The Airmega has a model called 400s, the letter s to signify its smart integration with Alexa and Google. That model is more feature rich but def more expensive. So in your comparison the first round would actually be a tie at 68 pts each.
I've had both and I beg to differ because the Coway 400 does not do as well as the Nuwave oxipure. The Nuwave oxipure delivered FAR better results in our entire 2,200 square foot home and had the are smelling much more crisp and clean compared to the Coway 400. 😊
Unrelated- been waiting for vacuum wars to review the q revo. Maybe a head to head with dreametech l10s? You've always been my go-to for reviews, I'm sure there are a lot of people interested in the list of features at that price, especially with the early bird coupon.
Ok further in now and I think my honest opinion is I’m not gonna bother on these ones. I can’t put my finger on why I watch in the first place. I don’t need a vacuum cleaner or air purifier. My V11 is doing great. Shark sucks but whatever and that will do. I think I come for the voice and when thats not here theres no reason to come. I’m not actively assaulted by the new voice anymore its much less LTT employee trying to be Linus or Engadget but its not something I want to listen to if I can help it. Still unsure what it is about OG’s voice, its just something I want to hear and an AI just doesn’t have the same appeal. Nice try though. It really is an improvement.

@@evilredBoris I certainly don’t recall stating otherwise. Just asking a valid question about a significant change to a channel I have followed for years
At 4:01 you listed the Coway CFMs at 21, 40 and 53. However this seems very low. According to their website, if you do the math, the CFM should be around 416 at the highest fan speed. Intuitively, also makes sense. Computer case fans are in the range of 20-30 CFM for a 120mm fan. These fans in the air purifier are way bigger!
My 4 year old son asked me to find friends that love vacuums. Any ages. He loves everything about them. We live in Los Angeles and I am unable to find what he is asking for. Ideas?
So we are gonna be safe in our homes and then step outside and die from pollution . We spend most of our time at work or outside .. Just kidding I’m gonna purchase a nuwave. I wish it would go from room to room like a roomba
@@VacuumWars That's great! Keep pushing; I love your videos! Just tell him to be a little more relaxed, he sounded a bit cold and robotic to me. But as always, great scientific comparison.

Lol I just commented on another video (a couple videos back) about how this needs to be its own channel. But no, here it is, on a channel called "Vacuum Wars". Have you forgotten what your channel is about? This isn''t "Purifier Wars".
Im gonna go ahead and ask everyone to not get their panties in a twist over the narrator. The original narrator has a life too and the right to do whatever he wants with his channel, not any of you. Stop complaining about the narrators. It is really annoying.

People are so dramatic about the voice. I love the new voice! Adds in new perspective!! Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you!
New voiceover guy is pretty legit! I'll miss the main guy's voice, but this guy is really "How it's made" sounding. That's fun!
Thanks so much!
Totally disagree!
I miss the old one
The main guy still here just there are different people now. They switch who’s talking in each video you will see the main guy soon.
Yeah the main one is best

How does it do with dust removal? I have the winix 5500 and it just doesn’t cut it for my liking

Yeah, I agree, it does a good job with dust.
@@brokenwrench404winix is one of the worst major brands for air purifiers. It barely works.
I have the Airmega 400 and it certainly does have an app. I even have it integrated with Home Assistant and Alexa.
Yes - You are correct, Coway has been rolling our "S" (smart) versions of each of there airmega air purifiers.
Hope that you can maybe test the smaller and cheaper OxyPure Zero sometime.
Fiverr voice over guy is not my favorite. It makes the channel feel like one of those AI-content-generation channels.
Well grow up and deal with it. No one is gonna coddle to your personal feelings.

Finally, someone reviewed the nuwave!! By the way, I love the nuwave purifier
Have the 400S (which has app functionality), and have been swallowed by the marketing behind Dyson big+quiet for my home office. Review coming soon?
So would Nuwave be the best choice for a larger area due to its more powerful fan?
