The Environmental Protection Agency says that the air inside your home is about five times more polluted than the air outside. The air you breathe can get dirty from things like cooking, cleaning products, scented candles, and even your pets. Air purifiers can help with this.
The Airmega 150 is very different from the last two Coway air purifiers we looked at. It’s small and low-key, and it doesn’t use smart technology so it’s easy to use. It removes pollutants from the air in your home with little noise and fuss.
The Airmega 150 is small and easy to use. It is 13.4 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep, and 18.5 inches tall, and it weighs a little more than 12 pounds. It comes in white and sage green, with few decorations. Its small size makes it easy to put in any room without having to move other things around.

Where to get Coway Airmega 150(K) air purifier?
Even though it’s small, it covers 214 square feet, so it’s great for medium-sized rooms and small apartments. The Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) for smoke is 138, for dust it is 161, and for pollen it is 219. Based on the size of the room and the amount of clean air produced per minute, these rates show how well the purifier gets rid of indoor air pollutants. A higher CADR number means that the purifier is more effective.
The purifier has a three-stage filtration system: a pre-filter that gets rid of large dust particles, mold, and pet and human hair; a deodorizing filter; and a Green True HEPA filter that gets rid of pollutants and allergens like pollen. The “true” shows how well the HEPA filter works. In this case, it means that it can catch up to 99.97% of 0.3 micron particles.
On the control panel of the air purifier, a color-coded indicator of the air quality shows real-time readings. If the reading is blue, the air quality is “good.” As the reading goes from green to yellow to red, the air quality is getting worse. The system works well enough for quick reports, but you have to walk over to the unit to check in, and you can’t see how the air is doing from another room.
That’s not a big deal for most uses, but if you want to use the purifier in a baby’s room or somewhere else where you don’t want to bother the people in the room, the lack of a companion app for remote monitoring and control could be a big problem.
