Coway Airmega 400S

What works

  • Real-time PM2.5 air quality display shows numeric AQI on the unit itself — no app required to see if the room air is improving
  • Dual-filter design with separate HEPA and activated carbon layers — carbon layer captures VOCs and cooking odors that single-filter units miss

What doesn't

  • Trails the Blue Pure 311i Max on starting MSRP — $749 vs $229.99

Blueair Blue Pure 311I Max

What works

  • Leads the Airmega 400S on starting MSRP — $229.99 vs $749

What doesn't

  • No onboard air quality display — must use the Blueair app to read PM2.5 data, which adds friction for quick checks

Bottom line

Provisional pick: Coway Airmega 400S — not enough sourced decision facts for Blueair Blue Pure 311i Max.
