IQAir HealthPro Plus vs Coway Airmega Mighty
On our axes the Coway scores higher: it has AHAM-verified CADR and low running cost, while the IQAir's strengths (build, deep filtration) sit outside what we can verify and price cheaply. See our editorial on why premium units score lower.
This pairing shows the FilterScored method in action. The IQAir is a well-built sealed unit, but it does not publish AHAM CADR and its three-filter replacement set is expensive. The Coway publishes AHAM CADR and uses a cheap filter.

FAQ
- Is the Coway actually better than the IQAir?
- Not necessarily in absolute terms. The Coway scores higher because it publishes verifiable AHAM CADR and costs little to run, the two things we weight most. The IQAir may suit you if build and deep filtration matter more than verified value.
