Because I have a large home (4 floors), I purchased two Coway 300S units. If it had been available, I would gladly have purchased the less expensive 300 model without Wifi capability.
Impressive Improvement in Air Quality
Impressive air purification performance. Both my husband and I suffer from allergies. After a short time, our symptoms/health have massively improved. I keep a box of tissue in most every room and am stunned how much my need to use tissues has radically declined. I no longer reach for a tissue as my first order of ‘business’ upon waking
When I first received the machine, the air quality indicator showed that our home wasn’t very polluted. However, upon use, the ‘feel’ of our home has greatly improved and we are feeling so much better in it. For this reason alone, I am in love with this machine. I’ve had a few different makes/models before this and don’t think they work as effectively or efficiently at clearing the air as the Coway300.
I especially appreciate that this model does not use electrostatic or negative ions to clean the air. These technologies are included in many of the air cleaners I considered and immediately excluded because not only do they create ozone but it encourages the negatively charged larger particles to ‘stick’ to large surfaces such as walls or curtains. I do not welcome the additional cost or maintenance of what many other air cleaners consider a ‘feature’.
Like most things in life, however, this unit is not perfect as I outline further below.
Appearance
Simply and beautifully designed sculpture. I particularly like the footings which elevate it and give the illusion of taking up less floor space. It’s sculptural, textural and visual design make it visually appealing and a welcome addition to my existing decor.
Maintenance
The filters are easy to access, clean and replace. The HEPA filter is particularly significant— *two* sets in each machine — and are of an impressive depth, especially when compared to other HEPA filters I’ve seen/had.
Cost/Benefit
Expensive: yes. Worth it: to me, yes. I’ve investigated the cost of replacement filters as given the size and high degree of quality of the filters, I think, comparatively speaking, they are reasonably priced.
Wifi
If you’re into apps it’s there but not my ‘thing’ so I couldn’t advise on this.
Night Mode
Love how the lights can be switched off while I try to sleep. There is only a small dot of light still aglow, but I’m so light sensitive that I cover it with a small, sturdy piece of cardboard and the low-speed sound is like ‘white noise’ and not at all disruptive.
Short Cord
Wish the cord were a wee bit longer.
Faulty On/Off button
The buttons are touch sensitive. Learned that it's not just a momentary tap to switch on/off but rather a lingering 2-3 second touch to activate the switch. Had to learn to have a wee bit more patience with this function as I at first, though it was faulty ;-)
Vibrations
Vibrations/noise on one of the purchased units transformed over time and had to return. I hope this was an 'outlier' problem. This is the finest air cleaner with which I am familiar and find it is very unobstusive, especially at night. This is the quietest air purifier I've ever owned...and I've had many different models.
