Four-Stage Filtration System
The heart of the Airmega Mighty's air purification prowess lies in its comprehensive four-stage filtration system:
- Pre-Filter: The first line of defense, the pre-filter captures larger particles such as dust, pet hair, and other large contaminants, helping to prolong the lifespan of the other filters.
- Deodorization Filter: This activated carbon filter effectively removes 99%4 of odors and harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including those from cooking, smoking, and pet odors.
- True HEPA Filter: The True HEPA filter is the star of the show, capturing an impressive 99.97%2 of ultra-fine particles, including viruses, bacteria, mold, and pollen.

3Aerosol test conducted in a Biosafety level 3 laboratory with two Coway air purifier models, Coway Airmega 250 and 400 for removal of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol by US based MRI Global, a not-for-profit laboratory and partner of US Department of Defense. The test was conducted in a 13.1ft3 chamber. Virus was aerosolized for 15 minutes and the product was turned on high for 2 minutes. Result showed each product effectively removed over 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 in 2 minutes. This is a result from a laboratory experiment condition and result may vary in different conditions. This result does not imply it kills SARS-CoV-2 or prevents the transmission of Covid-19. Coway Airmega 250S and 400S are identical to the tested models and has equal performance with an additional mobile connectivity function.

5The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore ** means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes and * means air changes per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.
