  • Filter Replacement indicator: Shows pre-filter and filter lifespan as a percentage and notifies users when it’s time to clean or replace filters.
  • Upgraded 4-color LED Air Quality Indicator: Provides clear visibility of current air quality levels.
  • Hourly timer: Schedule operation from 1 to 12 hours to fit your routine.
  • Performance Modes: Smart, Turbo, Sleep, and Eco modes for customizing air quality, noise, and energy efficiency.
  • Night Light Sensor: In Smart mode, detects light intensity and switches to Sleep mode when the space is dark for 3 minutes.
• Redesigned Pre-filter Position: Makes routine maintenance easier by allowing users to slide the washable, vacuumable pre-filter out from the right side of the unit.

The Airmega Mighty2 AP-1512N is available now in White and Beige at Cowaymega.com and Amazon. Coway is also introducing its original Airmega Mighty in a new beige colorway, which includes a bonus 6-month Intense Smoke deodorization filter.

The AstroRinse Cleaning Station redefines maintenance by introducing the world’s first self-cleaning feature, setting a new benchmark for the industry. Once the robot docks, the station automatically initiates charging and activates the three-minute filter-cleaning process using a high-pressure rotating water nozzle. Onboard sensors monitor operational status in real time to ensure consistent peak performance. An industry-first 22-liter bin holds debris from up to two cleaning cycles per week for two months, delivering an effortless experience with minimal user input.

Beyond cutting-edge innovations, the AquaSense X stands out for modern design and long-term durability. The eco-friendly IMR coating provides a futuristic, high-quality appearance and enhances resistance to corrosion and scratches. Both the robot and base station share a minimalist, elegant design language, adding an aesthetic touch to the poolside.

“We are thrilled to receive the honor from the iF Design Award 2026 for our Beatbot AquaSense X,” said Jimmy Hu, Vice President of Beatbot. “AquaSense X is our ultimate expression of intelligent reliability and human-centric interaction. At Beatbot, we believe the future of pool care lies at the intersection of powerful, automated performance and visual aesthetics.
