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

Really good stuff and although expensive I highly recommend it.

I like this unit a lot, but I have the same complaint with this that I do my Medify--making the carbon and HEPA filter into a single unit is wasteful

Reddit— neutral

The middle speed is even a bit annoying if you are in the same room but that's where mine mostly runs

I have the Coway 400 and a 300 and have been pleased with them.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

they charge $129 per filter and thats insane...Plus they dont last a full year so youll be paying $258 every 6 months thats nuts

YouTube— neutral

I just wish the carbon was separate so you could replace those more often!

This coway filter got me sick!

YouTube▲ recommend

I own this Coway and it works great.

I've had the Airmega 300 and 400 for several years, and have recommended them to my family as well.

Reddit— neutral

they definitely help according to the monitors i have around the house

Reddit▼ don’t recommend

Did not expect such unreliable low quality replacement filters (for $130 no less) and customer service. The air purifier is now unusable since I can’t replace the filter.

YouTube▲ recommend

after getting the air mega 400 I can breath SO MUCH BETTER

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

Bottom line if you're still cleaning dust off of your counters or living room entertainment center or table it's not worth spending the money on these things

Reddit— neutral

I hate the vibrating sound at the lower settings

Reddit— neutral

It's loud but its not annoyingly loud.

Reddit▼ don’t recommend

Otherwise, it’s so loud, I use it as a white noise machine, in the other room, on the otherwise of my house from where I sleep!

YouTube▲ recommend

Expensive , but looks a million times better than the winex and other preferred brand. I’d pay the premium for the CFm but also the esthetic .

YouTube▲ recommend

Excellent review AND advice! thank you.

Reddit— neutral

But I don’t mind the sound at all.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

My Coway worked great for about eight months then stopped sensing. Coway support is worthless.

Reddit▼ don’t recommend

Returned it.

YouTube▲ recommend

Got one recently and I love it thanks!

YouTube▲ recommend

I have two of the Coway smaller units and they are fantastic, having gotten us through several years of terrible summer forest fire pollution seasons.

I do like my Coway 400S. It’s a solid all around air purifier, but nothing amazing.
