Product Information

You'll be able to connect the Coway Airmega 400S to an app, which allows you to see more detailed insights about your home's air quality, access reports over different periods of time, manage the device's settings, and more. We had trouble finding the app on our phones since this device's manual didn't include a QR code, and it took several minutes to get everything connected. However, you can also use the Coway Airmega air purifier without the app by using the buttons on top of the machine.

One of our favorite aspects of this device is the detailed information it gathers and displays within the connected app. You'll be able to see the specific air quality at any time, assess how your room's air has improved or declined across several months, set up times for the purifier to run, and more. A small-sized portable air purifier may not be as powerful as a larger model, but can still do an excellent job of cleansing the atmosphere of dust, allergens, or toxins from smoke if you live in an area prone to wildfires. One of our most FAQs is “ Do air purifiers use a lot of energy?” In fact, air purifier must be used for a long time to be efficient. And power consumption is one important criteria to review how much energy this air purifier will consume.PureZone Mini has a power of 8 watts, and it can run up to 10 hours with a full single charge. Remember that the PureZone Mini uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, so it will go dead eventually.

This is partially due to the device's three stages of filtration, which include a pre-filter, an activated carbon filter, and a HEPA filter. While the HEPA filter captures particles like pollen, smoke, and dander, the carbon filter is designed to capture gasses and odors in your home. According to the manufacturer, this device can cycle through the air in a 783-square-foot room three times in a single hour. According to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, an air purifier's efficiency rating (clean air delivery rate, also known as CADR) should be equal to two-thirds of your room's area. This means that a room with 120 square feet should have a CADR rating of at least 80 to work effectively. According to Hunter Pure Air, you should plan to change your air purifier's filter every 6 to 12 months, though this can depend on how much pollution is in your air and how often you run the machine. The best air purifiers will have a filter change light to indicate when to replace the filter, eliminating any guesswork.

These appliances are much more compact than full-size models, yet most can still pull several ounces of water from the air each day, with some mid-size devices collecting several pints. We’ve rounded up the best small dehumidifiers for every room in your home, from bathrooms to attic crawl spaces.

Samantha Jones is an associate commerce editor at Better Homes & Gardens, writing and editing stories about the best patio furniture, pillows, robot vacuums and other home products worth buying. For this story, she spent several days researching important features in the best air purifiers, then compared her findings with insights gathered from our lab tests in Des Moines, Iowa. She also interviewed Kenneth Mendez, president and chief executive officer of AAFA, and Tim Carroll, representative of the Environmental Protection Agency, for their expertise on this topic. One of the biggest pros of purchasing a small air purifier is its ability to move with you from room to room. Whether you work in an enclosed office, want to improve the air quality in your RV or camper, or you simply want flexibility with where you use your home appliances, the best portable air purifiers are lightweight enough to take with you just about anywhere. On low mode, we found that the Bissell Air400 Professional air purifier is whisper-quiet at just 40 decibels, though it can be a bit noisy when run on high (80 decibels). However, even on the low mode, it drastically reduced PM 2.5 levels in a room in under 10 minutes. Keep in mind that this unit is not Energy Star certified, so it will consume more energy than other devices of the same size with Energy Star certifications. However, because it’s a smaller device than air purifiers for large rooms, it may still cost less to operate than a bigger unit.A benefit of small dehumidifiers is that—even though you might have to empty them more often—they’re usually much easier to dump than larger models, given their tinier collection tanks. Most can operate for a day or two before filling up completely. If you don’t want the hassle of emptying out a tank, look for models that come with hoses or continuous drainage options. This is where the PureZone really shines, as it is nearly silent on its low setting. It emits a fairly low-pitched hum on medium and high that certainly isn't offensive, and some may even find it to be a pleasant white noise. This again adds to its usefulness as a small bedroom machine, as you'll likely be sleeping in close vicinity to the machine. If quietness is your first consideration in buying a purifier, we think the PureZone is the best deal you're going to find. Ease of Use Again, I don’t make test for any personal air purifiers, because its actual performance will be too weak to do a proper test. The device runs quite consistently, given its low fan power. The Pure Enrichment PureZone Mini capped at 60% for cleaning 20 square feet after 4 hours, dropped about 3-10% at maximum. CORDLESS & TRAVEL-FRIENDLY: The rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasts up to 12 hours, so you can use the purifier with or without an outlet. You can even purify the air inside your car (about 54 sq ft) in only 20 minutes, so you have clean air to and from any location. Weighing less than 1 pound, it’s a lightweight and portable option for anyone on-the-go. Dust, pollen, smoke removal is how well a model cleared air of fine clay dust and cigarette smoke when operating at a low speed that was typically one setting above the lowest speed. Many models have multiple speeds and the lowest is not as effective at cleaning the air. A model that scores well for dust removal should perform comparably for pollen.
