Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Air Purifier Replacement Filter Set, 1 Count (Pack of 1), White

Although I was unsure about buying either the OEM or the off-brand, I went with the OEM because I need a quality filter. It is extremely easy to replace, very clean, although depending on the filtering level, you will have to replace it more often. I have to replace mine once every 6 months, since its pretty much always on. I trust the OEM, but a friend has the 3rd party filter, and it looks and feels identical. So, I might save some money next time and just buy off-brand.

I ordered this in November and replaced it on the Coway purifier immediately. This claims its a year replacement but 6 months in and the unit is warning to replace the HEPA filter soon. It does keep the air clean and fits perfectly but I think it should last closer to a year.

Works great. Allergies much better

I expected a perfect fit since this was the brand name filter. It did fit. It was easy to install and boy was the old filter dirty.

This was easy to install but didn’t come with instructions so I looked them up on YouTube. The odor filter needed reset according to the light on my air purifier after about a week which was odd.

Purchased these as replacements for my Coway air filter. Easy to replace and works as expected.

I can confirm other reviews commenting on the VOCs, or to me the smell. It does have a very plasticy, unpleasant smell when you put your face right in the air and take a deep breath. Dont notice it in the room though and no one has yet died in the 6 months since I installed it. Air seems clean.

Like many other people who have written reviews about the chemical odor issue. This is what happened to me and what happened after I talked to the manufacturer. 1) I bought a replacement filter from Amazon and like many, it had a strong chemical odor 2) Upon contacting Coway support via email, I told them about the issue and they said that the filters had been exposed to something (no mention of any details on of what or how) but that they did not think it was toxic and that Amazon knows about this so I should ask for a replacement. I had to include a screenshot of my receipt as proof of purchase. 3) I explained this to Amazon support about the issue. There was no mention of knowing about the exposure or the odor but they did send me a return label and a replacement. 4) This second filter still had the odor but was much less. Still concerned, I reached out to Coway again and told them that the issue still persisted with the new filter, described to them a little more about the issue, and provided other information (upon their request) such as my name, address, photos of the filter inside the 1512HH, and the serial number of the 1512HH, and they would consider sending a replacement. 5) I got a replacement from Coway and the filter had a very slight odor but was much, much better than the two from Amazon. However, the plastic packaging around the filter was a little different as it contained a yellow informational tag (with a diagram to remove the plastic), and the plastic packaging had an adhesive flap that one can reopen and close. There were also a few crease marks on one of the sides of the filter itself, possibly from sustaining pressure or impact or from being handled. Im not sure of the exact cause but none of the filters (including the original one that came with the 1512HH had that) have such creases. So, I cant definitively say that this filter was handled in some way to remove the smell before it was sent to me, or if the filter sustained some sort of pressure from storage or shipping, but I can at least say that they were responsive to my concerns and sent me one that barely an odor. Another observation is that the printed identification on the filters are different (as shown in photo). Also, it came in the same box as the filters from Amazon but only had 1 odor filter, instead of 2. The final observation is that I continued to use the second, and less smelly filter from Amazon. I tolerated through the odor because I live in an area affected by wildfire smoke and didnt have much of a choice while I corresponded with Coway and waited for the replacement. I cant say if that was right move in terms of possible toxicity but thats what I decided for myself. The smell did eventually go away, but it definitely takes a couple weeks of regular use/airing out though.

Not much to comment other than pretty standard and glad it was available at reasonable price.
