Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Coway Airmega 150 ist ein schlichter Luftreiniger für Schlaf- und Arbeitszimmer bis etwa 22 m², der Feinstaub zuverlässig herausfiltert und im Silent-Modus nur 2,6 W braucht. App, Fernbedienung und Timer fehlen, die Automatik regelt über den Feinstaubsensor. Der Haken: Bei einem Teil der Geräte setzt nach einigen Tagen ein hörbares Motorbrummen ein, das gerade nachts stört.

Pros

  • Senkt PM2,5 in 18 m² binnen einer Stunde von 110 auf 7,1 µg/m³
  • Silent-Modus mit 35 bis 40 dB nachts kaum hörbar
  • Sehr sparsam: 2,6 W im Silent-Modus, 0,2 W im Standby
  • Ein Filterset pro Jahr, Aktivkohle in der EU-Version als Granulat
  • Automatik reagiert über PM2,5-Sensor auf Kochen und Deo
  • Ohne Ionisator, also keine Ozonbildung

Cons

  • Bei einem Teil der Geräte Motorbrummen nach einigen Tagen
  • Keine App, keine Fernbedienung, kein Timer
  • Statusleuchte bleibt an, Gerät wird nie ganz dunkel
  • Versprochene 20 dB im Schlafmodus real 35 bis 40 dB
  • Kein Griff, Standfüße ohne Gummierung

Der Levoit Core 300S ist ein solides Zimmergerät für Allergiker: Er reinigt Räume bis etwa 20 m² in rund 30 Minuten und bleibt im Schlafmodus nachts kaum hörbar. Für eine offene Wohnküche reichen 240 m³/h nicht. Gerüche filtert die dünne Aktivkohle kaum heraus, und die Automatik wählt nach dem Anschlagen oft eine zu kleine Lüfterstufe.

Pros

  • Im Schlafmodus 20 bis 35 dB, nachts kaum wahrnehmbar
  • Reinigt 17 m² nach dem Braten in 30 Minuten
  • PM2.5-Sensor schlägt bei Rauch nach rund 12 Sekunden an
  • Display ganz abschaltbar, auch außerhalb des Schlafmodus
  • Übersichtliche App mit Zeitplänen, Alexa und Google Assistant
  • Mit 2,7 kg leicht von Raum zu Raum zu tragen

Cons

  • Kaum Wirkung gegen Koch- und andere Gerüche
  • Automatik wählt nach Alarm oft zu kleine Stufe
  • Hoher elektrischer Ton im Schlaf- und Automatikmodus
  • Auf höchster Stufe 54 bis 63 dB statt versprochener 47 dB
  • App nur mit Herstellerkonto und Internet nutzbar
