If quiet is the only thing that matters, the Airmega 150 has the lowest published figures on this list: Coway lists 19.98 dB(A) on the lowest setting and 48.3 dB(A) at the top. It is a slim unit, 6.5 inches deep, so it can stand next to a dresser or along a nursery wall without taking much floor space. Filtration has three stages, a pre-filter you can pull out for cleaning, a deodorization filter and a HEPA filter, with the deodorization filter rated for 6 months and the HEPA filter for a year. The catch is capacity. At 4.8 air changes per hour Coway rates it for 214 square feet, and its CADR of 153 for smoke and 161 for dust is about two thirds of the Mighty. There is no app. At $189.99 it ranks fifth because the Mighty covers more room for $50 more, but for a small nursery it is a very quiet choice.
Who it is for
Small nurseries and kids' rooms where the quietest possible low setting matters most.
