Best praise vs top criticism for Coway Airmega 250
“Dyson is mediocre in every way. Look at the sticky. There are great units. I personally love the Coway Airmega units, the 250 and above are especially good.”
“Pet dander requires a HEPA filter, with or without the boost you get from static charging depending on your tolerance for that. VOC filters such as Austin sadly come at the expense of HEPA performance. If you don’t know that you have a VOC problem you don’t need one of those. I’d avoid Honeywell just because their filter design is currently … expensive and power hungry. You just want to move as much air as possible and have a removable washable or disposable pre-filter. Look for units with high CADR, a carbon grid for pet odors, and washable or disposable pre-filters. Coway Airmega 250 and up, Winix, or there are some excellent new entries like the Airkit. Levoit Everest Air is good, but avoid their Core (round) series.”
