Coway Airmega AP-1512HH True HEPA Air Purifier with Air Quality Monitoring, Auto Mode, Timer, Filter Indicator, Eco Mode

Ive had this for 7 months. Got it because of my first cat and a litter box. Does a fairly good job of keeping control of cat litter. The filter timer seems to either not work (bad) or only count down while the purifier is on (good). Replacement filters were a fair price and you can find them on Amazon. Its easy enough to change the filters, and to also briefly vacuum the front mesh filter every few months. None of the joints or buttons seem flimsy enough to fail in short time. The fan settings range from very quiet a good gust. The ionizer is an optional feature, and Ive never gotten along well with ozone from past experience. It took me a few weeks to figure out that the blood-flavored cough I developed was caused by the ionizer feature and not an undiscovered allergy to cats. But you can turn it off. It has a dark-mode where the brightest light can be turned off, which is essential if you put it in a bedroom like I do. Overall, Im satisfied. The true test of an air purifier is if the motor burns out in a few years because they might be manufactured with cheap sleeve bearings (the fate of my previous purifiers), or the filters because impossible to buy. Time will tell on these.

I love this purifier!! I was told I had allergies so I purchased this and see a big improvements in my eye irritation. I put it in my room and the air smells so fresh. The buttons light up bright on top, I just lay a black cloth just to cover the buttons at night or it makes for a good night light if you want. It was a windy day and there is construction directly behind my home. The purifier was near my back open door and immediately the sensor turned red. I closed the door and the sensor went back to green. My eyes look and feel so much better since Ive been using this purifier. I will be buying another one for a different room but for now I move it around.

I just bought my second Coway Airmega - because Ive had the first one for 5 years, it still works great, and I needed a purifier in another zone of my home. This time around, I needed something for my office. The microphone I use for calls somehow picks up pretty minimal background noise - but this purifier is perfect. The 1st level is nearly silent, and level 2 is quieter than our bathroom fan. I typically put mine on level 3 to sleep, because its really good white noise. I really like that this model uses a pretty big air filter, so it catches a lot. Every time I clean the filters or replace them, Im impressed by what it picked up. The ONLY downside to this air purifier is the notification light on the top - theres an indicator light that changes colors depending on air quality in the room. When trying to sleep, its pretty bright, so weve covered the light with tape. Other than that... its so nice, I bought it twice! TLDR; if you want an air purifier that packs a punch, but also has a super quiet setting, stop looking and buy the Coway Airmega!

I never write reviews but have to on this product because I had high hopes and was disappointed. As an MCS person, I find it hard to imagine that selling air filters to people who are looking to mitigate VOCs among other pollutants, it hasnt occurred to the manufacturer to offgas or outgas their components/units first PRIOR to shipping. Do they even believe in what they are selling, because I would think that would inform what they are doing. I do not know how they could advertise or ship to people w/MCS without taking this critical quality control step and checking units for VOCs PRIOR to sending it off. If the manufacturer says the plastic smell and 3 days running of VOCs comes from the packaging/shipping, then again, use conscious packaging. It just shouldnt smell like VOCs out of the box. The plastic covers on the VOC and HEPA filters will NOT stop VOCs coming off the unit from being absorbed/adsorbed into the filters. I appreciate many people cant actually smell VOCs, but just because you cant smell it doesnt mean its not having an effect. I was sad when it arrived stinky, unpackaged everything and ran the unit without filters - chemical stink. Then ran the unit with the filters - chemical stink. 3days and it still smells like VOCs/chems. I just dont get it. I dont recall my IQ Air offgassing or outgassing like this, and yes its a substantially different product but I just needed something to mitigate the halls of the junk laundry chem trails from the neighbor. Given how highly rated this product is, I dont feel hopeful about finding a unit that doesnt add to the problem from the start. To be clear, Im also providing feedback about MCS because it seems to be misunderstood by those who dont have problems with chemicals/odors or are scent blind. MCS comes from repeated chemical exposures, and is physically painful for people who are dealing with it, its not a psych problem. Though Ive always taken care due to allergies to avoid exposure to pesticides and am all organic/pastured with food (we lived in CA long enough to know better and taste the difference), I did not have MCS prior to the people above me moving in and bringing their high VOC uber-scented inhalant everything - cleaning products, swiffer solutions, laundry products, air fresheners, scented candled, etc. - so now I react to everything else in the air and its super frustrating. Do your friends and family a favor if you love inhalants, dont slather your clothes in it - you wont be able to smell it 10 mins after you dress anyway but anyone around you who is sensitive wont be able to stop smelling it, and for an MCS person the odors are repellent. MCS people are not rare, we are everywhere and have been bullied into silence by the advertisers who are selling you the right to wear or spray their junk chemicals, and we are much less likely than you think to say anything until our suffering exceeds the negativity that comes back to us with every request, no matter how graciously made. If someone is asking, almost guaranteed its not a small problem for them.

I purchased this air purifier in June of 2018 after it was clear I had to do something with the air quality due to frequent fires we have had in Southern California. It works really well during the last almost to be two years. I have not turned on ionizer because I was not clear whether or not it would be harmful and I left the question for the future. Now however, with covid-19, and being inside all the time, and hearing conflicting messages whether or not covid-19 is airborne or not, except it could be spread from the human droplets and other human fluids. The question what we are to do if we are outside, it is windy, six feet is no guarantee we cannot be affected by the infected person complying with the six feet distancing. So being afraid to open the windows and air the house out, I kept the window closed except late in the evening I left them open, each room separately up to an hour each to prevent any draft. I love the fresh air. After a long time not using an ionizer, I decided to try it on. At first it was pleasant, and even generated a slight scent, which was okay but leaving it on for longer, I have mine on auto settings, with one cat in a household, works really well, the scent became heavy, almost nauseating. Dont get me wrong, this is still an excellent product, at least it worked out for me so I am giving it a five stars alll the way, and I agree with all the other reviews having a good experience. The question of an ionizer is not clear to me though since the numbers do not mean too much to me. For the Coway manufacturer, it would be good to explain more about the ionizer installed in this unit, whether or not it generates an ozone which would be dangerous to human, and animal health, and how long we should leave it on to avoid the heaviness that I started to feel/smell. I went on to a google, and researched how long should one leave the ionizer on, and the answer is no longer than five to eight hours. So there you have it. Once I turned it off, the smell was quickly gone, and I left the air purifier continue its quite performance. I had a feeling leaving the egg spread bowl open, it left the after taste on the spread as well, after the ionizer was already off or was a little bit residual in the air still, hard to say but lesson learned, not to leave it the ionizer on for more than five to eight hours. I looked everywhere in the attached booklet that came with the unit but found nothing specific about possible ozone and recommended duration for an ionizer without feeling the heavy ions in the air. The good news is, that according to the google search, ozone smells like a chlorine, and the smell I had was nothing like that, so I am just hoping this ionizer does not generate ozone. It would be nice to have that comment in the instruction booklet. Thank you.

this air purifier is a product with balanced performance. It performs well in air purification and offers convenient features. However, it has limitations in terms of noise levels, filter lifespan and cost, as well as coverage range. If you are seeking a well-rounded air purifier with basic functionality, it may be an option worth considering. Positive aspects: 1. Air purification effectiveness: The Coway Airmega AP-1512HH with its true HEPA filter performs well in filtering out dust, pollen, and other fine particles from the air. It effectively improves indoor air quality, especially for those who are sensitive to allergens. 2. Auto mode and air quality monitoring: The air purifiers auto mode and air quality monitoring feature adjust the fan speed automatically based on the detected indoor air quality. This is convenient for busy individuals as it adjusts automatically as needed. 3. Design and operation: The Airmega AP-1512HH has a sleek and user-friendly design. It features an intuitive control panel and easy-to-replace filters. Additionally, its moderate size allows for placement in various rooms. Negative aspects: 1. Noise levels: While this air purifier operates relatively quietly on low speed, it produces noticeable noise on high speed. This may be bothersome for individuals who require a quiet environment. 2. Filter lifespan and cost: The filters have a relatively short lifespan, and the cost of replacing them is relatively high. This may add some financial burden for long-term usage. 3. Coverage limitations: The air purifiers coverage is suitable for medium-sized rooms, but it may have limitations in large rooms or open spaces regarding air purification effectiveness.

I have been using it for 2 weeks, Eco mode. Working well, and quiet. The only thing I do not like is the blue light is very bright, and bothers me at night. I covered it to make it less bright.
