Our Verdict

Coway Airmega 400

Sans Air Purifier

The Coway Airmega 400 is simply a better overall unit than the Sans Air Purifier. The Coway has a much higher clean air delivery rate and can operate as a standalone unit in bigger spaces more effectively. While this isn't as significant an upside, the Coway model's primary filter also meets a recognized HEPA testing standard. The Coway's operating noise is lower at all fan speeds, too. With all that being said, the Sans does have a smaller footprint.
