Quick verdict
The Airmega 400 clears large, open spaces fast thanks to strong airflow and a dual-sided intake, while a trustworthy auto mode and clear air-quality readout make it easy to leave running. True-HEPA + carbon covers the essentials. The catch is the premium price and large footprint.

FAQ
Is the Coway Airmega 400 worth it?
For large or open-plan rooms, yes — its high CADR and quiet operation make it our large-room pick. For smaller rooms it's overkill; the AP-1512HH is better value.
What room size does it cover?
Rated up to about 1560 sq ft, though for strong cleaning aim to use it in rooms up to ~800 sq ft.
Airmega 400 vs AP-1512HH?
The 400 covers far more and clears big rooms faster; the AP-1512HH is smaller, cheaper and ideal for a bedroom or medium living room.
