Coway Airmega Mighty2 Review: The Sequel Is Better Than the Original

The Mighty2 has a built-in AQI (air prime index) show and a MegaScan laser sensor to automatically observe 3 chiseled aerial particle sizes: bacteria and microplastics; fumes, smoke, allergens, and good dust; and particulate mites, pollen, favored dander, and mold. The show tin quantify successful existent clip however overmuch contamination is successful the air, including ample and ultrafine particles.

Coway uses its ain air-quality color-coding system, but the Mighty2 uses antithetic colors from the OG Mighty model. Now the aerial prime airy flashes bluish for cleanable air, greenish for moderate, orangish for unhealthy, and reddish for precise unhealthy. Coway's color-coding strategy is simply a spot confusing, considering that it differs from the US aerial prime index standards of greenish for good, reddish for unhealthy, and purple for precise unhealthy. At a glance, I was often confused by what the colour was signifying astir my home's air. Using the built-in aerial sensors, the Mighty2 automatically adjusts its instrumentality velocity (in car mode) to astir efficaciously purify the aerial successful effect to aerial prime changes.

When I tested, I mostly utilized it successful my chamber adjacent my cats’ litter boxes; adjacent my surviving country window, which has tons of extracurricular exhaust and pollutants; and successful my room portion cooking connected my state stove, which doesn't person due ventilation. I tested this exemplary for respective weeks, moving astir my location and letting the aerial purifier automatically set for assorted situations wherever aerial prime periodically became unhealthy. Although I astir often utilized the car feature, I besides tested the timer and slumber features, which worked arsenic expected each time, and I appreciated the auto-enabled slumber mode erstwhile dark, erstwhile I forgot to alteration settings astatine night.

For each aerial purifiers, I manually trial the aerial with my ain aerial prime show successful assorted situations, and usage a decibel show to measurement however large the purifier is connected the highest setting. I besides usage a sealed structure and fume pellets to spot however rapidly each aerial purifier clears the pellet fume (and returns the aerial to steadfast quality) wrong the structure erstwhile successful car mode. For the fume test, the Mighty2 took 50 seconds for the fume to visually clear, and different 3 minutes and 20 seconds for the built-in aerial prime sensor airy to work that the aerial was backmost to steadfast connected car mode (from reddish to bluish denotation light). In a trial with the somewhat cheaper Levoit Vital 200S, the fume cleared successful astir 40 seconds and took different 4 and a fractional minutes to work backmost arsenic steadfast air. Although the statistic are comparable, the Mighty2 was a spot faster overall. However, I truly appreciated having the Levoit's app to cheque aerial prime and purification done my telephone (since the purifier was visually covered successful smoke), and the app notified maine erstwhile it had reached cleanable aerial presumption again.

According to my decibel reader, the Mighty2 hovered astir a mean 65 to 70 dB connected the highest instrumentality setting, and was astir 35 dB connected slumber mode, not adjacent registering connected the scholar supra the ambient noises of my home. For reference, the hum of a refrigerator is determination betwixt 40 and 50 decibels, and a speech is astir 60 decibels. Even connected the highest setting, it didn't consciousness egregiously large and provided achromatic noise. Ideally, an aerial purifier should beryllium capable to cleanable the aerial successful your country 5 times an hr without reaching the sound levels of a conversation. On car modes and slumber mode, the instrumentality sound was virtually undetectable.

If you're a instrumentality of Coway's aerial purifiers, oregon privation to upgrade your aerial purifier from the erstwhile model, the Mighty2 is simply a coagulated choice. It's lone $30 much than the erstwhile model, tin efficaciously purify much quadrate feet per hour, and its filters past doubly arsenic agelong arsenic the erstwhile model's. The upgrade to the Mighty2 volition wage for itself successful a twelvemonth of usage done filters alone. It's casual to cleanable and disassemble, and the purifier helped to support the residual particulate from my cats' litter down, trim dander during shedding season, and amended the wide prime of the aerial astir their toilet/general surviving space.
