Weight
24.7 lb (11.2 kg)Simplicity meets modern architecture. Airmega 400S manage to perfect the art of design VS practicality by offering dual side air inlet hidden within its seamless design. Sharing the same dimension as Airmega 400, the 14.8 x 22.8 x 14.8 in size and 24.7 lb weight is considerably compact for its category if you discounted the 4 legs. Controls are located at the top black panel that is not obvious at first glance, it is simple to use with clear visual indicator for fanspeed, Smart mode, Wi-Fi, Light mode, Pre-filter and MAX2 filter. Upfront Airmega 400S comes with the standard ring air quality indicator that shows the current room air condition. Up to four different colors will be shown to indicate the current air quality status ranging from Good, Moderate, Unhealthy to Very Unhealthy. Other key specification in Airmega 400S that we will briefly go through including a 4-stage filtration, 4 fanspeed with Auto/ Sleep/ Eco mode, Pre-filter/ MAX2 life-time indicator (actual filter real time usage lifespan), Wi-Fi enabled for Airmega’s IoCare app and Amazon Alexa support (more on this later), timer/ scheduler (via app), 30 days money back guaranteed and 5 years warranty.
Like Airmega 300S, the 400S is also Wi-Fi enabled that allows you to control the air purifier at any place via Airmega mobile IoCare app. Pairing Airmega 400S is easy for both Apple and most Android phones so long you have strong Wi-Fi connectivity. We did encounter some issues with some lower end model (Huawei to be exact but that is few off case scenario) that requires multiple retries. Once successfully connected to Airmega 400S Wi-Fi network, you can access to features such as Smart Monitoring, Real-time Air Monitoring, Indoor Air Quality Report (including records from past week), Outdoor Air Quality Monitoring (check air quality in your city), Scheduler/ Timer, Speed and Smart Mode Control (Auto/ Sleep mode). Other than popular timer/ speed control, the highlights would definitely be the scheduler that allows you to program weekly schedule when to turn on or off the air purifier. Airmega 400S also works with Amazon Alexa where you could manage the air purifier via the given list of command. The standard list of voice command include turning on/ off the air purifier, switching to Smart/ Sleep mode, changing the fan speed, set timer, filter life status and check air quality.

^ Airmega 400S filters/ lifespan/ price
Airmega 400S uses the same filtration setup as all Airmega air purifiers which is essentially dual pre-filter plus Max2 filter bundled (Green True HEPA filter and Activated Carbon filter). Each pre-filter would be place at both side of air inlet that clear out any incoming airflow contaminants before reaching to the Max2 filter. With large particles out of the way, Green True HEPA filter and Activated Carbon filter in Max2 would have the full capacity (99.7% for HEPA and 99% for carbon to be exact) in capturing mold/ pollen, bacteria, germs, food smells, VOCs, cigarette smoke and pet odors. Sadly there is no optional Ionizer included though not a big miss for some.There is no differences between Airmega 400S and 400S in terms of filters size and depth.Airmega 400S is covered against

Can I connect my Airmega air purifier to multiple smartphones?
Yes you can and it’s not limited to android or apple smartphones only. Download the IoCare app through iTunes or Google Play and sign in with the same credentials.
I have more than one Airmega installed at home. Can I connect to multiple products?
Yes you can. Simply add the products in the application.
What happen if I change my router? Do I need to redo the Airmega pairing again?
That depends if you are using the same SSID and/ or password for the new router. No changes needed if everything remains the same, otherwise please delete the current air purifier from your application and redo the pairing steps to relink the air purifier again.
Why I can’t connect my Airmega with my phone after following all the steps?
Please check whether your Wi-Fi router support 2.4GHz band (through SSID network or on the router label itself). There are two common frequency bands used in Wi-Fi communication: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Most modern routers support both bands and can be set to broadcast 2 different networks or set to broadcast only one band. Airmega can only connect to 2.4GHz band so if you have a router that only supports 5 GHz band, you’re out of luck.
My Wi-Fi network doesn’t show up at all.
There are few common reasons that would to Wi-Fi no show. No internet connection, Wi-Fi disruption, Wi-Fi name is hidden or pushed down from the list. Restarting your router is the first thing to do that should resolve most issues including internet connectivity issue. If the Wi-Fi network still doesn’t show up, try hard reboot by unplugging the router, wait for at least 10 seconds before plugging back the router and restart again until you see steady power and connection indicator lights on the router. Reduce the number of connections to the router would help as well. If all fails, try moving Airmega closer to router or move away any metal/ home appliances object that could be interfering with the Wi-Fi connection.
Why can’t I scan the product barcode?
First thing first, make sure there is barcode scanner app install on your phone. Second make sure the barcode scanner app has permission to use the camera mode in your iOS and android. Third try to find an open space with enough light source for the camera to capture. Also move the camera further back if you have issue focusing on the camera. If all fails, manually input the serial number to the application.
