Which one to pick

Take the Coway Airmega 400

Leads on Performance and Durability.

  • A room large enough that smaller units cycle constantly
  • You want a particulate number rather than a coloured light
  • Dual-sided intake suits where the unit has to sit

Take the Levoit Core 300S

Leads on Value, Ease of use and Quietness.

  • A bedroom or a nursery where night-time noise decides everything
  • You want scheduling and a sleep mode from an app
  • Cheap replacement filters matter over years of ownership

What each one gets wrong

Coway Airmega 400

  • Proprietary filters that cost real money every six months
  • Floor space is tight — the footprint is substantial

Levoit Core 300S

  • A large or open-plan room — this will run flat out and lose
  • You expect the plastics to survive being knocked around
