Clean breathing during fire season

Wildfire season is upon us once more.

As we’ve seen recently, these hot and dry seasons may continue to get longer and more severe. It’s more important than ever for those of us living in affected areas to ensure the air in our homes is clean and breathable for ourselves and our loved ones. Coway Airmega’s 4-step purification system is ideal for removing smoke and other contaminants. But don’t take our word for it, check out these industry reviews…  

“According to the EPA (PDF), wildfire smoke predominantly consists of fine particles in the 0.4-to-0.7-micron range. And true-HEPA air filters are exceptionally good at removing particles of that size from the air. Our top picks, the Coway AP-1512HH and nearly identical Coway Airmega 200M, are well-priced, superb performers, and reliable.”

 –Wirecutter ( a New York Times company)

 

“Those with allergies or those who live in areas with risk of wildfire smoke should definitely add this model to the short-list of possible shopping choices.”

“From a guy concerned not only about indoor quality and dust, but also the increasing threat that wildfire smoke poses, I’m quite impressed so far with the Coway AP-1512HH air purifier”

–Stark Insider


“...when the entire Bay Area was being blanketed with extremely hazardous levels of fine particles. We used the Airmega during two of those days to see if it made our self-imposed (and EPA recommended) indoor quarantine more pleasant. (It did.)”

–Popular Science


It’s not just the critics enjoying the benefits of Airmega, more importantly, our customers love them:

I have 2 @cowaymega air purifiers. If you’ve ever doubted how effective a hepa filter or air purifier can be I give you these. 2 weeks of forest fires and my brand new filters look like this. I absolutely recommend the @coway their customer service is hands down the best.

buying my air purifier was great for three reasons: 1) helps with allergies in spring 2) helps alleviate the smoke during wildfires and 3) neutralizes the smell from the litterbox, because i put it in the same room

Getting an air purifier has surprisingly helped me a lot during allergy season. I have a Coway Airmega AP (@cowaymega), and it's great. Saved me during wildfires season too. X

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.

It is not a demonstration result in the actual use space. Not all odors and gases may be supported. → Tested with Coway Airmega 150, 160, AP-1512HH, AP-1512HHS, 400, 400S

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.
