Youtube Reviews
- The speaker likes the Mega 230 air filter.
- They use it as a pre-filter for other air filters.
- The new model has a better filtering system with pre and max filters.
- It's simple to use and can filter a large space.
- It has different modes.
- It has a filter light indicator.
- It has a timer setting from 1 to 8 hours.
- The speaker prefers to leave the filter on all the time.
Here's a breakdown of the key pointers from the video:
Pros:
- Durable with a 7-year warranty.
- Uses H14 HEPA filter (high grade) at a price under ₹15,000.
- Includes carbon filter and pre-cleaner (easy to clean).
- Minimalistic design, can be used vertically or horizontally (but avoid placing anything on top when horizontal).
- Easy to clean, maintain, and operate.
Cons & Concerns:
- Poor Sealing: Major flaw. Air can seep in around the filter edges, bypassing the HEPA filter. This reduces the effectiveness of the H14 HEPA filter.
- Lacks specific PM2.5 value display (uses color-coded indication instead).
- HEPA filter boundaries can be easily damaged.
- If air leaks significantly, the need for an H14 HEPA filter is questionable.
Overall:
- A good air purifier overall, suitable for rooms approximately 12x12 or 12x14 feet.
- Consider the CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) rating in addition to HEPA filter grade.
- Target Audience: People living in polluted cities like Delhi need an air purifier.
- Product: Review of the Coov Air Mega Aim air purifier.
- Design and Build: Compact design, good build quality (plastic but sturdy).
- Remote Control: Comes with a remote control for easy operation.
- Warranty: 7-year motor warranty (uncommon in the market), extendable by registering on the website.
- Filter Life: Long filter life of 8,500 hours (almost a year), reducing filter replacement costs.
- Filter Cost: Filter costs $3,990 (at the time of the video), slightly higher than competitors, but longer lifespan.
- Tilt Feature: Can be tilted and used as a fan.
- HEPA Filter: Uses true HEPA H13 filter, capturing particles down to 0.1 microns.
- Filtration: Three-stage filtration: pre-filter (large particles), HEPA filter (dust, germs, allergens), carbon filter (odors).
- Oscillation: Up to 80-degree oscillation for room coverage, 360-degree air purification.
- Operation: Auto mode adjusts fan speed based on AQI, color-coded AQI indicator (red: bad, orange: moderate, green: good).
- Filter Replacement: Filter replacement light indicator, filter replaceable from the bottom.
- Pre-filter Maintenance Tip: Vacuum the pre-filter every 4-5 months to extend filter life.
- Cons: Lacks a smartphone app for smart control and information.
- Performance: Prioritizes performance over "gimmicks" like smartphone apps.
- Comparison: Compares favorably to Dyson and Xiaomi purifiers in terms of purification speed.
- The video demonstrates the rapid purification of dense colored smoke (simulated pollutant) in a closed hyperbaric chamber using a Coway Airmega air purifier.
- The air purifier quickly cleared the smoke.
- The presenter uses the Coway Airmega near their desk to combat air pollution and cool down on hot days.
