What Coway Airmega 200M owners say

Um-- it's no joke. At first, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't kicking on automatically while I was cooking since reviewers mentioned that a lot but then I realized I wasn't really cooking the types of foods that produce strong odors. It DOES seem to ramp up into it's higher filtering modes (from the eco mode) whenever my bird starts to preen, thus

I just bought [this one](https://cowaymega.com/products/coway-airmega-200m) and it gets very mad at me when I dab, but the couple upstairs hasn't complained of smells.

If this had an actual carbon pellet filter and all the lights turn off, I would highly consider this product.

I use the coway ap-1512hh air purifier and it's been great. It's reasonably priced and does a great job with my small studio apartment. I do have to lug it in between the living and bedroom in the morning and night but that's about the only downside of it.
