Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier with True HEPA and Eco Mode

Opened the box a and followed all the instructions to remove packaging etc but it never worked. After switching on the power butter the speed buttons flash and then I’m not able to click on anything else. It doesn’t turn on at all. And very unhelpful customer service so have not been able to return the item!

I bought a $90 tower purifier which took a long time to clear the air and which was noisier than a jet engine. I lived with it, but when the Canadian wildfire smoke descended upon us in NYC, I loaned it to my downstairs neighbor, who had elderly and special needs family members, and I ordered this as a replacement. It's more than double the cost of the other unit, but based on the reviews from the New York Times and other review sites, the quality and performance are well worth the investment. So I splurged and got this unit. While I was waiting for it to arrive, the air pollution got really bad and I had been coughing, eyes were watering and I was forced to wear an N-95 mask at home just to breathe. When the purifier finally arrived, I turned it on and the sensor light went red to indicate the high level of contamination in the air. I opened the doors of every room of my apartment to let it go to work and after a few minutes at full power, the light turned from red to purple, and about 5 minutes later, it went blue. I took my mask off and the air was pure and fresh. It is an absolute superhero at cleaning a large volume of air very quickly. I was thoroughly impressed. The sensor is very sensitive and will turn purple if you are just cooking something that releases strong scents into the air (sauteeing onions and peppers, etc.) and it goes red if you're burning anything. Another upside is that my kitchen smoke detector has stopped going off if I'm grilling something, because the purifier keeps the air quality under control. At the highest setting, it's about as loud as my old purifier at the middle setting, which is to be expected, as you would only set it that high to quickly clear out a room or if there's smoke from cooking, etc. But the massive volume of clean air it blows out in exchange for that short term annoyance is staggering. However, at the 2nd highest setting it is barely detectable, producing a pleasant, white noise background sound that you quickly tune out. It makes falling asleep very easy, and if you have the air conditioner on you can't hear the purifier at all. At it's lowest setting, it blows out a nice stream of air but is utterly and completely silent. You couldn't even hear it at night time in a small, quiet room with the door shut. Amazing. They say you never regret buying the best. They know what they're talking about. This is worth every penny and then some. 5 stars, all day.

Puntos clave: - Filtración HEPA de última generación - Diseño compacto y elegante - Rendimiento excepcional en la limpieza del aire Este purificador Coway ha transformado literalmente la calidad del aire en mi hogar. El filtro HEPA captura con eficacia partículas microscópicas, desde polen y polvo hasta alérgenos y micropartículas. Especialmente útil para quienes vivimos cerca de volcanes: controla eficientemente la ceniza volcánica, protegiendo nuestra salud respiratory en zonas de alta contaminación atmosférica. Lo que más me impresiona es su silencioso funcionamiento y su efectividad. Su diseño moderno se integra perfectamente en cualquier espacio, y el panel de control es intuitivo y fácil de usar. Recomendación: Indispensable para personas con alergias, mascoteros, habitantes de zonas volcánicas, o simplemente quienes valoran un aire limpio en casa.

Normalmente estudio bastante antes de hacer una compra, diferentes marcas, productos, leo reseñas, etc. Después de hacer mi “research” llegue a la conclusión de que este era el purificador de aire que tenía que comprar. La razón principal fue la relación de precio con las capacidades del mismo. Es relativamente pequeño de tamaño y logra cubrir una buena área. La capacidad de filtrar varias veces por hora el aire de la habitación (CADR) y su diseño. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Las primeras dos velocidades son silenciosas, casi imperceptibles. La tercera velocidad si es algo ruidosa, pero no es una velocidad que se vaya a usar mucho. Es súper fácil de instalar, es “plug & play”. Un verdadero filtro HEPA que es lo que se requiere para estas épocas de Covid. Mi único comentario no tan positivo es que no se conecta a wifi, pero para eso está el otro modelo que si lo hace aunque no se si justifica el precio. Por lo demás lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Shopping for an air purifier might be one of the most headache-inducing purchases (that isn’t a house, car, or insurance plan) in existence. So many factors have to be taken into consideration such as room size, the type of filtration, electricity costs, filter costs, noise level, durability, and effectiveness. In my air purifier research, I watched countless videos, read countless articles, and almost pressed the purchase button on countless units. All while growing overwhelmed by the sheer number of recommendations and dishonest manufacturers. After a lot of mind-numbing research, I eventually settled on this Coway unit and am very happy with the decision. I keep it in my 150 square foot bedroom on speed 2 (ionizer off) at all times. This gives me over 5 air changes per hour, and speed 2 only uses 8 watts of electricity (according to my research) so it had no noticeable effect on my electric bill. What it has had a noticeable effect on is the air quality. I find less dust on furniture and none in the air. I don’t wake up congested anymore. The air purifier gets rid of that smell when you just vacuum, litter box odors, and the dust that is kicked up when you clean the litter box. Filters are affordable when you take into account that you only need to purchase a replacement pack annually. My unit has worked well for the time that I’ve had it (and many other users have said their Coway Airmega units have lasted 4-7+ years) so the product seems durable. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and glad that I get to breathe fresher air. I can see why this unit is so highly recommended. It does what it’s supposed to do, and while some may find the design polarizing, I like it. It’s unique and interesting.

This was rated best overall purifier on numerous website reviews and they were spot on! I am so glad I purchased this unit for our bedroom and we purchased a second unit to place on the main floor and will be purchasing a third unit to place in another area of our main floor. I have severe allergies and asthma. We have big dogs and I constantly suffer throughout the year from my allergies. So I did some researched and purchased two units of another brand of air purifier. Unfortunately it did not make any difference whatsoever and each unit was approximately $250. So those were returned and I am so happy that I did because it led me to this wonderful item. Purchased two units of the Coway and we have it set to Auto. I have been able to sleep well at night because of this unit. I used to wake up from allergic reactions throughout the night like congestion or coughing from my throat itching but because of this unit I do not have any breathing issues. The unit will set its fan levels to 1-3 depending on the air quality. There is a circular light at the end of the unit that changes color depending on the air quality in the room. It's great for circulating the air as well during these winter months. I have not had to change the filter since Sept 2018 and the only thing I needed to do was vacuum the front and the filter to ensure that I remove all the dust and dirt that the unit picked up. The unit on the main floor is great as it circulates the air and has been a lifesaver when it comes to cleaning the air of odors from when we are cooking as well as from the dogs. Since the unit is set to auto it will automatically raise the level of the fan on its own to clear the air as quick as possible. Noise level: When the fan is at level 3 it is fairly loud when we are watching TV and it comes on the noise level is high enough that we have to turn up the TV volume higher. But it does such a quick job at clearing the air that it goes back to level 1 fairly quickly. Level 1 is very quiet you can barely hear the unit. It is usually on level 1 in auto which means it is constantly circulating air which I find is a good thing as I said to get rid of stale air in the room. In terms of energy consumption since it is on auto I did not see a difference in our electricity bill so if anyone was concerned about that I feel that there was no difference to our electrical nothing out of the ordinary. If you are looking an air purifier that actually makes a difference and works then this unit is for you. The price may be on the higher end but it is well worth it. When I make purchases I think of dollar per use and this unit has saved my health and lungs and my only regret is not buying it sooner.
