Not too big, not too small. The Coway Airmega 250 air purifier is just right

Add as a preferred source on Google

Better air quality benefits everyone, but not everyone has the space to install a large air purifier in their home. It’s particularly difficult for people who live in smaller studio apartments where floor space is at a premium. The Coway Airmega 250 is the solution — a miniature air purifier that works in spaces up to 930 square feet without requiring a lot of extra room.

The Coway Airmega 250 features multistage filtration that uses a prefilter, a carbon activated filter, and a certified Green True HEPA filter that removes up to 99.999 percent of harmful airborne particles like dust, pollen, and other allergens. It also removes particles as small as 0.01 microns in size — smaller than bacteria and many viruses.

The prefilter is designed to catch larger particles in the air like hair and fur, but this filter can easily be detached and cleaned to extend the life of the other filters. Just slide the filter out, clean it, and hang it up until totally dry. When it is time to replace the other filters, an indicator light on top of the Airmega 250 will let you know — so there’s no guesswork required.

The Coway Airmega 250 is packed with other benefits that make it beneficial for small spaces. At just 19.7 by 18.5 by 8.3 inches, it can fit most anywhere in the home. Just make sure the air intake isn’t blocked and you’re good to go.

Air quality indicators display the current status of your indoor air in real time in LED colors, while the Smart Modes will automatically adjust the air purifier to help keep your air quality at the level it should be. There’s even a Rapid Mode that activates and runs for a short time when your air quality is at dangerous levels to clear the air faster. It automatically shuts off when the air quality has returned to acceptable levels.

The Coway Airmega 250 stands out because of the amount of space it can cover despite its small size, which helps it compete with much larger models. It provides almost industrial levels of clean at a consumer price point. It is available for $400 from Coway’s website.

During the Welcome Home event, Apple announced a bunch of products that expand its smart home lineup. These share a connected ecosystem around the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The idea was to bring its tight integration into the living room, kitchen, and practically every other corner of your house.

Among these new gadgets was the Apple HomeView, the company's long-awaited smart home display, unveiled during its October 13 Welcome Home event. It combines a 7-inch touchscreen, built-in speakers, Apple's new conversational Siri AI, and a centralized dashboard for managing everything from security cameras to smart lighting.

Apple’s newest smart display comes with a not-so-smart repair bill.
Apple HomeView feature

I was genuinely excited when Apple announced the HomeView. A 7-inch smart display from Apple sounded like something I would happily put on my kitchen counter. Then Apple published its repair prices, and my excitement took a nosedive.

Why does a repair cost almost as much as a new one?
