Editor's analysis
A hand-written take on how these two compare in the real world.
Two budget-friendly purifiers with very different capabilities: Coway Airmega 150 at Rs 15,998 vs KENT Aura HEPA at Rs 8,999. The Rs 6,999 gap buys significantly more from the Coway - 50% higher CADR (250 vs 180 m3/hr), 52% more coverage (38 vs 25 sq m), 4-stage vs 3-layer filtration, and dramatically quieter 22 dB vs 40 dB minimum noise. The KENT's only advantages are lower price and KENT's extensive pan-India service network.

Quick summary
Two budget-friendly purifiers with very different capabilities: Coway Airmega 150 at Rs 15,998 vs KENT Aura HEPA at Rs 8,999.
The Coway Airmega 150 is worth the Rs 5,000 premium for anyone with a room larger than 250 sq ft. The performance gap is substantial - more coverage, better filtration, and half the noise. The KENT Aura makes sense only for the tightest budgets or buyers in small towns where KENT service is more accessible.

Buying tip
The noise difference between these two is significant for bedroom use. The Coway at 22 dB sleep mode is quieter than a whisper. The KENT at 40 dB minimum is comparable to a quiet conversation. If this purifier runs while you sleep, the Rs 5,000 extra for the Coway pays for itself in sleep quality.

Quick answers
Yes, measurably better in every spec: 39% higher CADR, 52% more coverage, quieter by 18 dB, and 4-stage vs 3-layer filtration. The KENT is a basic entry-level purifier. The Coway is a mid-range performer. The Rs 5,000 gap delivers a proportionally larger performance improvement.
If you live in a tier-3 city where Coway service is unavailable, the KENT's pan-India service network from their water purifier business is a practical advantage. Filter replacements are simpler to arrange locally. But for metros and tier-1 cities, both brands have adequate service presence.
KENT filters cost Rs 1,800 vs Coway at Rs 2,500. But the Coway's washable pre-filter extends main filter life by months. Annual total: KENT roughly Rs 3,600 (2 filters) vs Coway roughly Rs 3,500-4,000 (1.5-2 filters). Running costs are surprisingly similar despite different filter prices.
