2026 verdict
Trapping dust and smoke is what you buy an air purifier to do, and the Levoit Vital 100S-P does the smarter job in this pairing.
It is the more affordable and the better reviewed, it is AHAM Verifide, and it adds Bluetooth, Energy Star and an ozone-free label. The Coway Airmega AP-1512HHS wins the filter stack and the warranty: True HEPA plus an ionizer, and 3 years against 2. Its coverage is listed at 326 sq ft and 210 CFM, but it is not AHAM Verifide, while the Levoit Vital 100S-P is, at 143 CFM and 222 sq ft. Pick the Levoit Vital 100S-P for a certified bedroom machine, and the Coway Airmega AP-1512HHS if True HEPA and the longer warranty come first.

What the differences mean
Coverage numbers
The Coway Airmega AP-1512HHS lists 326 sq ft and a 210 CFM CADR, and it is not AHAM Verifide. The Levoit Vital 100S-P is AHAM Verifide at 143 CFM for 222 sq ft, and its own review says the much larger one-air-change figure is not the one to plan around. On paper the Coway covers the larger room, but only the Levoit's figures come from an AHAM test.
Filter and ozone
The Coway Airmega AP-1512HHS uses a True HEPA filter, carbon, a washable pre-filter and an ionizer, which is why it is not ozone-free and not Energy Star. The Levoit Vital 100S-P has a washable pre-filter and carbon, no ionizer, an ozone-free label and Energy Star, and Levoit calls its main filter HEPA-grade in Sleep Mode rather than certified True HEPA. Filter life is about a year on both.
Power, noise and warranty
The Coway Airmega AP-1512HHS draws 80 W, is rated 53.8 dB and has three fan speeds. The Levoit Vital 100S-P draws 35 W, is rated 52 dB and has four fan speeds. At the top those noise figures are close enough that you would not pick by ear. Warranty is 3 years on the Coway and 2 years on the Levoit, which is a real edge for the Coway.
Screen, lock and radios
The Levoit Vital 100S-P has an LED screen, a child lock and Bluetooth plus 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The Coway Airmega AP-1512HHS has no screen and no Bluetooth, and its child lock is not published. Home Assistant is documented on the Levoit and not published for the Coway. Alexa and Google Home are on both. Neither lists Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter.
Which one to buy if

The Coway Airmega AP-1512HHS carries True HEPA plus an ionizer. Levoit calls the other filter HEPA-grade in Sleep Mode.

What owners say
Owners of both air purifiers say the low speeds are quiet enough to sleep beside and that auto mode reacts when the air turns dirty. They then split. Coway Airmega AP-1512HHS owners single out smoke clearing on the high speed, a color ring they can read across the room, and Eco Mode, which several first mistook for a fault because the fan stops once the air stays clean. They also mention a loud top speed, a factory smell in the first weeks, and an ionizer they prefer left off. Levoit Vital 100S-P owners talk about pet hair on a washable pre-filter, dust leaving furniture, and a VeSync app they actually open, and they warn that 222 sq ft is the practical room, that turbo is too loud at night, and that replacement filters cost more than they expected.
