Ready to get a breath of fresh air? Let’s see how Medify Air MA-15 measures up! This particular model from the acclaimed brand is designed specifically for spaces as large as 330 square feet, so you know it can handle larger environments with ease. But will this air purifier be able to deliver what its competitors do and more? That’s exactly why I decided we should take it on an in-depth test run; let’s find out if fresher breathing awaits us all!
The Medify MA-15 air purifier features two identical filters located on the sides. While the MA-14 model shares some similarities with the MA-15, the latter appears to be more advanced in terms of airflow and overall performance. For this reason, I decided to review the upgraded and more powerful MA-15 model. In the following review, I will assess the effectiveness of the MA-15, the benefits of using two filters, and its ability to handle everyday use.

Design
The Medify MA-15 air purifier is a small, rectangular device with an aesthetically pleasing silver finish that makes it stand out from the traditional white model. It was this eye-catching design that ultimately drove me to purchase this particular unit for my review – I couldn’t resist its modern and unique appeal!
With a sleek, eye-catching exterior that screams style and sophistication, the device I’m testing instantly stands out among its peers—but then again it did come with one small caveat. The silver finish is marred by traces of paint visible in some parts; not exactly an ideal look for this otherwise stunningly designed product! Thankfully though, despite being made from plastic rather than premium grade materials––which isn’t necessarily bad on its own––the lightweight design should make carrying fairly easy when you need to transport it quickly between rooms.
Room Coverage and CADR
Medify MA-15 may be smaller in size, but it packs a punch with its powerful motor. The air purifier is designed for rooms up to 330 sq. ft., and will have a room of 165 sq. ft. cleaned within 15 minutes; similarly, the same task would take only 30 minutes for larger spaces! With this device, you can now enjoy purer air without having to wait too long!
Control Buttons
Easily accessible at the top of the device, these touch buttons are highly sensitive even with a light tap. Each button press will be accompanied by an audible chime so you can be sure your command has been carried out correctly.
I find the buttons to be somewhat small, which can sometimes lead to pressing the wrong button. The button bar includes Child-Lock, Timer, On/Off, Speed, and Dimmer buttons.
Size and dimensions
The Medify MA-15 air purifier is lightweight, weighing only 5.8 lb., making it effortless to transport from one place to another. Its dimensions of 8.9 x 8.9 x 14.6 inches make the device an ideal size for any setting in your home or office!
Features
The Medify Air MA-15 offers a time-saving “Timer” option for those who need flexibility when the device turns off. This optional feature can be set at 1x, 2x, 4x or 8-hour intervals to conveniently power off the machine after a predetermined amount of time passes.
Child Lock
If you have small children, this option is ideal for your peace of mind. The Child-Lock feature prevents the air purifier from responding to any buttons pressed when activated; simply hold down the Child-Lock button for 3 seconds to enable it and another 3 seconds to deactivate it.
Dimmer
To adjust the backlight to a preferred brightness, press the Dimmer button. There are four-lumen levels that you can cycle through with each press of the button. If desired, you have the ability to dim all lights – simply keep pressing until they turn off entirely!
Filter Replacement Indicator
This is one of my absolute favorite features that air purifiers possess. The filter replacement indicator helps make this device much simpler to use, as it lets you know when the filters need to be changed out; so no more needing to track those dates manually! You can now totally trust your air purifier’s warning signal instead.
Filters
The Medify Air MA-15 goes above and beyond with its 3 stage filtration. Uniquely, it utilizes two identical filters on both sides – a setup that can also be found in the Levoit LV-H128 model which I was fortunate to try out recently! What really makes this device stand apart is its use of the True HEPA filter – you can rest assured knowing your home will benefit from superior air purification.
Pre-filter
The MA-15 has a unique two-step filtration system. In addition to the powerful True HEPA filter, it boasts an additional pre-filter layer – made of durable nylon mesh – that helps capture larger particles and prolongs the life of your device! This feature is popular in Levoit models like Core 300 as well.
True HEPA H13 Filter
The MA-15 isn’t just your average air purifier, it comes equipped with a True HEPA filter that removes up to 99.9% of 0.1-micron particles – everything from allergens & pollen to dust mites and smoke! No matter how small or hardy the airborne contaminants are, you can rest easy knowing their removal is in capable hands when using this device.
Carbon Odor Filter
The 3rd stage of Medify MA-15 filtration is a carbon filter, designed to neutralize nasty odors and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) gases. Although it uses small pellets that are loosely arranged for maximum gas absorption, laboratory tests indicate the device’s efficiency may be lacking in this regard.
Noise Test
Medify MA-15 packs quite a punch with its 3 fan speeds and powerful motor that provides an intimidatingly vast airflow. I was honestly taken aback at how much power this small air purifier holds!
If you’re looking for a device that won’t disturb your peace and quiet, then the first and second speeds are ideal. The third speed is significantly louder than its predecessor, with stronger airflow as well; however, this can be an issue if you plan on running the machine continuously at max power.
Speed Value (dBA)
Speed 1 41.2 dBA
Speed 2 47.1 dBA
Speed 3 61.1 dBA
Performance Tests
The Medify Air MA-15 air purifier is surprisingly compact yet designed to clean a space as large as 330 sq. ft., the most expansive area I’ve seen such a small device handle! Its innovative size makes it ideal for use in virtually any home setup, no matter how cramped or sizeable.
194 sq. ft. Room Test
To evaluate the MA-15, I placed it in a 194 sq. ft. room that is slightly smaller than its optimal size recommendation. After running continuously at full speed for an hour, I was pleased to see that the device remained effective throughout testing!
Over the course of testing, the MA-15 drastically improved air quality in a room by an astounding 92%, dropping AQI from 129 to 10. This result has exceeded my expectations, and I am delighted with this outcome.
320 sq. ft. Room Test
MA-15 proved to be an impressive powerhouse, providing a dramatic 90% improvement in air quality in the span of just sixty minutes. Even with a 320 sq ft room and set at its lowest speed, this compelling device delivered results that were beyond my expectations!
Operating Costs
The Medify Air MA-15 air purifier packs a powerful punch with its 25W motor and accompanying AC adapter, both included in the purchase box.
The Medify MA-15 is not a power hog – it certainly won’t break the bank. Even if you run this unit nonstop for an entire month, on its highest speed setting, your electricity bill would only be about two dollars! When you compare that to how much clean air and peace of mind it provides, that’s nothing — so why wait? Get the best purifier around today and breathe easy tomorrow.
Pros & Cons
- This device has a very low energy consumption
- certified by Energy Star and CARB.
- It features a 2x True HEPA H13 filter, and despite its small size, it has a very high airflow.
- It is available in a unique silver color and has shown solid performance in testing.
- Additionally, it has good customer support.
- The lifetime warranty is contingent upon regularly replacing the filters.
- It would be nice if the replacement filters were slightly less expensive.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for an air purifier that truly delivers on performance, Medify MA-15 is worth considering. Boasting a stylish design and powerful airflow, this device packs double true HEPA filters to effectively remove harmful particles from the environment. However, be aware that maintenance costs may add up over time – but if high-quality features are what you’re after then this one should definitely not be passed by!
Does Medify Air MA-15 produce ozone?
“The Medify Air MA-15 does not produce ozone, as it does not use an Ionizer or UV-C or any other form of filtration that could generate ozone. It is completely safe to use.”
How long is the warranty on the Medify MA-15?
Medify guarantees the longevity of this device with a lifetime warranty as long as filter replacements are completed regularly.
How often should the filters be changed?
It’s best to replace the filters every 3-4 months according to the manufacturer’s advice.
In which rooms is it best to use this device?
This handy yet powerful device can be used in any space of up to 330 square feet, even slightly larger areas. However, I recommend avoiding spaces where there is a lot of smoking as the carbon filter isn’t quite robust enough for that level of air pollution.
