Which one should you buy?
For most Australian first-home buyers the Coway Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH at around $269 is the right buy. Coway is the Korean brand the New York Times has named a top air purifier for years, and the Mighty AP-1512HH is the model that earns it — True HEPA plus activated carbon removes 99.999% of particles and pollutants down to fine PM2.5 (pollen, pet dander, dust mites, bushfire smoke), an eco mode with a real-time air-quality LED powers down when air is clean, and it covers up to 109m². It carries the deepest review count on this list (4.6 stars across 284 AU ratings) and an Amazon's Choice badge.
If your space is bigger — a large open-plan living area or a 130m²-class room — the Coway Airmega 250 (AP-1720H) at ~$419 is the upgrade. It cleans up to 131m², pairs a HyperCaptive filter with True HEPA for double filtration that removes 99.999% of pollutants down to 0.01 microns, and a Smart Mode auto-adjusts the fan to live air quality. It's also Sensitive Choice Certified for Asthma & Allergies by the National Asthma Council Australia — the certification that matters most if anyone in the household has asthma. Pay the extra over the Mighty only if you genuinely need the larger coverage and Smart Mode.
The Levoit Core Mini at ~$80 is the budget and small-space pick. It's a compact desktop/personal unit — a 3-in-1 True HEPA plus activated-carbon filter that handles smoke, odours, allergens, dust and pet dander, runs at an ultra-quiet 25dB on 7W (about 36 cents of electricity a week), and adds a built-in night light. Buy it for a desk, a bedside table, or a small bedroom — not a large living room, where you'd want the Mighty or the 250 above.
One honest limitation: none of these is rated for whole-home air filtration through ducted air conditioning. If you want filtration on every room through the HVAC system (rather than a single-room standalone), that's a separate category — Lennox PureAir, Trane CleanEffects — covered in the body of the full article above. The picks above are room-by-room portable purifiers.
