These are side-by-side facts taken from each product guide: published specifications, strengths and caveats as their sources state them. This page is not a test, a ranking or a verdict about which model is better.
Coway Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH Air Purifier, Black
A bedroom or office up to about 361 sq ft, with 8 inches clear around it
Coway's AP-1512HH is a 16.8-inch-wide HEPA purifier with a washable pre-filter, a six-month odour filter and a one-year HEPA filter. The maker publishes CADR of 233 smoke, 246 dust and 240 pollen, and defines its own room figures by air changes per hour: 361 sq ft at 4.8 per hour, 874 at two, 1,748 at one. It wants 20 cm around it and 30 to 60 cm above.

Strengths
- Coway publishes CADR figures and defines its room claims by air changes per hour
- Washable pre-filter and four odour-filter versions (allergen, smoke, pet, standard)
- Ionizer has its own on/off button, and the maker states an ozone compliance limit
Caveats
- The 1,748 sq ft headline is the one-air-change-per-hour figure; the maker's own design room is 361 sq ft
- The '3yr warranty' is motor and electronics only; internal parts are one year, and non-genuine filters void coverage
- Maker documents disagree on stages (three vs four), speeds (three vs five) and noise (22, 24, 53 and 55.1 dB(A))

- Maker: 1,066 sq ft at 1 air change/hr, 222 sq ft at 4.8 air changes/hr

Strengths
- Maker publishes its coverage as air changes per hour, so 222 sq ft is a usable number
- Stated ozone free, CARB compliant, FCC certified and ETL listed, with no ioniser stage
- One filter part number, Core 300-P-RF, with pet, smoke and toxin versions to swap in
Caveats
- No auto mode and no app on this version; fan speed is set by hand
- Filter lasts only six to eight months by the maker's own recommendation, and the whole cartridge is replaced
- Manual PDFs on the listing and on the maker's site are scans, so clearance and warranty wording could not be checked
