Help me choose: Coway Mighty (€140) vs Xiaomi 4 Lite (€150) for a bedroom?
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a new air purifier and I'm stuck between two options. Because of a sale and some vouchers, they are currently priced almost the same for me:
• Coway AP-1512HH (Mighty): €140 (Sale + €60 voucher).
• Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Lite: €150.
My main concerns:
Noise levels for sleeping: I plan to use this in a bedroom (approx. 4.5m x 2.5m). Which one is quieter on its lowest setting? I need it to be whisper-quiet while I sleep.
Performance vs. Convenience: The Coway is well-known for its high CADR (421 m3/h) and solid reputation, but it has no smart features. I use Homebridge, so with the Coway, I’d be limited to a smart plug (On/Off only).
Smart Integration: The Xiaomi 4 Lite has a slightly lower CADR (360 m3/h) but integrates fully with HomeKit via Homebridge. This allows me to see PM2.5 levels and adjust fan speeds or set automations (like "Night Mode") directly from my phone.
The Coway seems like the "stronger" machine on paper and is a very established model, but the Xiaomi offers way more control.
For those who have experience with either: how is the sleep mode/lowest fan speed? Does the Coway's extra power outweigh the lack of smart controls at this price point for a room this size?
Thanks for the help!
