Welcome to the Coway AirMega 200 Review! Let us quickly make you aware of the features of this air purifier. Its bigger brothers Coway AirMega 300S and 400S are already popular in USA. The Coway AirMega 200 has a model name of AP-1018F and was for sometime the flagship model in India. But it has since been discontinued to promote the more powerful and equipped Airmega 300S model. You never know when it makes a comeback. South Korea, Coway’s country of origin is well-known for its high-quality electronic products. Samsung is another Korean behemoth, you’d most likely have an appliance of. Our last post was the Best Coway Air Purifiers.
Since the last few years, we are noticing a harsh deterioration in air quality in Delhi NCR region. In the October and November months, air quality and PM2.5 levels go way below safe limits. PM2.5 readings of over 700 are not uncommon! Such is the pollution that people including me tend to get depressed about the future. Literally, it seems like a punishment if not for jobs and livelihood, I’d have retreated to the hills where I belong.
Not just in India, bushfires in Australia or the Californian forest fires, they wreck an environmental havoc!

CHEAPER MODEL– THIS ONE
Design & Looks
Coway Air Purifiers are best known for their focus on great customer satisfaction. The True HEPA filters used in Coway ensure 99.97% removal of 0.02㎛ fine particles. The depth of the air purifier is just 18 cm. This means that it occupies minimal floor space. Also, a good height means that it can move a greater air mass.
The white body color looks chic and adds to your room’s aesthetics. As is with white color, you need to clean the outer surface regularly. White mesh in the front tends to get darker with time. The reason being the outside air that is sucked through the small holes is polluted. But its not something you should bother about.
Coway AirMega 200 Convenience Features
- It has Mood button to shut-off the LEDs for distraction free sleep. This is more or less what Sleep mode is in other brands.
- It has 4 fan speed control including Turbo mode.
- Four color LED lights for indicating air quality.
- Two modes of operation- Auto and Eco.
Auto mode does not care about power consumption by the fan. In Eco mode, the air purifier tries to maintain a balance between power consumption and performance. Eco mode switches off the air purifier when the sensors detect good air quality. As soon as the air quality deteriorates, it again puts the air purifier to work.
- A child lock is also present to let your kiddos play freely.
- A filter reset button is present. After you replace the filters you have to press this.
4 Filter Stages
Four filters let no trace of fine dust, allergens or particulate matter in the air.
- Pre-Filter is a good thing to have in any air purifier. It stops the larger dust particles, dander, hair or fabric strands from choking the inner filters. Pre-Filter is washable and you should clean it frequently.
- Fine Dust Filter as the name suggests removes ultra fine dust. Such dust is visible to the naked eye. During summers the air is teeming with fine dust.
- Deodorization Filter takes care of the smell part of things. Smells of food, stenches are removed from the air via the activated carbon present in this filter.
- Your lungs are nothing but uncountable minute air sacks inside another air sack. PM 2.5 and PM 0.3 make their way deep into your lungs and even blood stream. One never comes to know through which health complication these pollutants manifest themselves. Then comes the Boss! The True HEPA filter removes even the nano meter sized particles let alone PM 2.5 or PM 10.
Why is Coway AirMega 200 Costlier Than Coway AIRMEGA 150?
Coway AirMega AP-1018F is taller and leaner. This is one of the reason. Coway AirMega 200 is slimmer at 18 cm compared to 25 cm depth of Coway Airmega 150. As you know slimmer products are costlier. Slimmer body along with a marginal greater CADR and coverage area, is what makes AirMega 200 more pricey. Hope till here you are finding the Coway AirMega 200 Review informative?
Coway AirMega 200 vs Coway Storm Air Purifier
Owing to very similar shape and design, this comparison becomes essential. Coway AirMega 200 can cover an area of 364 sq.ft. Very few Indian homes have rooms sized 575 sq.ft. But, if you have such big rooms then Coway Storm is an ideal buy. Coway Storm AP-1516D is nothing short of a beast. For use in such places like showrooms, clinics, or restaurants Coway Storm is simply perfect. Obviously such a capability comes at a cost. I don’t think an ordinary person can think of buying it when it costs this. Now match this- Clean Air Delivery Rate (Storm) is 492 as against 309 (Coway AirMega AP-1018F). Needless to mention Storm is heavier at 12 Kg to 7.2 Kg of AirMega.
Coway Storm vs Philips AC3256 Air Purifier
Overall, Philips AC3256 is an ultimate air purifier money can buy. And Coway Storm is one of the Best Coway Air Purifier for Asthma. Coway AirMega 200 is an optimum air purifier in terms of cost and coverage area. But, it all depends on the use-case. You’ll see within Coway models, soon AirMega 200 will be the best loved air purifier.
To summarize Philips AC3256 is a superior air purifier in every aspect. If you have to make a choice between Storm and AC3256, go for the latter. Which one to choose between Coway AirMega 200 and Sleek Pro? Go for Coway Sleek Pro, an ultimate air purifier for normal or average room sizes.
