Who should buy which
Founders + healthspan-60 buyers who want set-it-and-forget-it environmental control without the HEPA subscription tax. Apartment biohackers running multiple supplements but ignoring the cheapest mortality-reducing intervention. Anyone in a wildfire-prone region (the no-filter-swap model means unit performance doesn't degrade silently during high-load events).
You have ozone-sensitive asthma (Coway Mighty or Molekule are the safe picks). Or you need a portable unit under $200 (the X3 model at $349 is closer to that price but still above commodity tier, for sub-$200 the IKEA STARKVIND or Levoit Core 300 are reasonable alternatives even though we don't affiliate-cover them).
Renters and households who want quiet, affordable true-HEPA filtration for a bedroom or medium room, and value simplicity and price over chasing the highest measured clean-air delivery rate.
You want independently-verified top-tier clean-air delivery or whole-home coverage. Then a Coway Airmega, Blueair, or IQAir is the better, pricier buy. And size up: do not trust the 1,000 sq ft figure for a truly large open space.
