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

I was a bit skeptical when ordering because I have never used an air purifier before. We just moved into a small cabin which had lingering smoke and marijuana smells - turned on this machine and the smell was gone within an hour! I was amazed! It runs very quietly, was super easy to set up and get started, and it looks stylist and nice in my cabin. It is a bit pricey but so far is earning its way. As allergy season progresses we will see how it affects my husband’s ability to breathe better but so far I am extremely impressed!

I just wish it came with more filters

Seem to be high quality filter

Because our apartment gets a lot of gas, we have to change the HEPA filter frequently and the packaging gives you only one HEPA filter and two thin black dust collector filters. So we have built up a collection of black dust filters since we don’t have to change those as frequently and the HEPA filter is more critical to be changed than the dust filters.

I initially purchased the Coway AP-1512 unit based on a strong recommendation from a well known online review source in May of 2020. The unit met my expectations well for a year. In May of 2021 it was time to replace the filter, which I did with a replacement that I purchased from Amazon in October of 2020. As soon as I turned the unit on I was met with a very strong smell akin to oil or some type of adhesive. To me, this was completely unacceptable so I contacted Coway directly and after a series of emails they agreed that this was a known issue and they kept some on hand at their office to send out to folks that were experiencing this. They kindly sent me one directly from their office after assuring me that it would be completely odorless just like the original that came with the unit... IT WAS NOT! I may have run the machine for a total of 30 seconds before my entire living room was filled with a horrible stench. I immediately turned it off and removed the filter and placed it outdoors and opened some windows. My girlfriend came over about a half hour later and asked why my house smelled like a machine shop. The odor did eventually dissipate but now Im stuck with a machine that I cant use unless I can find a reliable replacement filter. Im not sure what is going on with Coway but Amazon should really consider not making these available until the problem is seriously addressed. In the end, I would strongly urge anyone considering this filter to keep my and others experiences in mind.

These arent knockoffs, they obviously work (see photos of old and new) and I totally recommend. The only CON, if you want to call it a CON, is if you have allergies or burn wood during winter, Id replace them more often than whats recommended.

Always get the brand name if you want a quality product. Love our Coway air purifier & the ease of installing the effective air filters. We have a foster senior dog that has accidents occasionally. We scrub & shampoo as much as we can with our nontoxic products, but there is only so much we can do. As soon as I replaced our filters & kicked the air purifier back on, her room was instantaneously odor free.

Sure, you could get generic filters that are cheaper, but certain things i like to spend more on. For example i only need to buy this once a year. Ill spend more for the name brand cuz you know what youre getting and its really not that much more.

These fit as expected, and were in good condition. I cannot speak for anything else though, as I dont have a way of testing them. I can say it helped with my allergies when my sister brought her dog to my parents house for the holidays, but thats about it. The old filter was black, so I replaced it. Only issue is that they charge too much. They could sell them for less, but take advantage of the fact that there are fake filters out their that people have to worry about. I bought these even though there are cheaper version online, because nearly anything you find online will not actually be true HEPA. Part of the cost comes from certifications of the product. Cheaper versions dont have any certifications, and therefore dont necessarily meet the specifications you are looking for. Youd likely be better off just putting up a towel instead of buying a cheap knockoff filter honestly.

Bought one for my son’s room after testing revealed he had allergies triggering his asthma. The unit is a little big, but fits nicely in the corner. The highest setting is a little loud, but the other two settings are quiet and unobtrusive. It helped with his allergies and helped cut back on the teen boy funk in his room as well. I have since bought 2 more - one for another son’s room and one for our basement.
