Who should buy which
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.
A bedroom or office up to about 258 square feet where you want standards-grade HEPA filtration with automatic operation, from a brand whose parts and filters will still be purchasable in a decade.
You need whole-home coverage, in which case a ducted or multi-unit approach beats any single tower; you want a comparable CADR number before buying, which Vornado does not publish; or the recurring cost of HEPA and carbon replacements is the thing you are optimising away, which is Airdog’s washable-plate argument.
