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

Recommended by a neighbor Great product and very satisfied

I was skeptical that one of these could make a big difference in indoor air quality. My partner and I suffer seasonal allergies and after researching air purifiers online, landed on this product based on a major trusted product review publication. It was the right decision! We installed in our bedroom and its super quiet, efficient and for the first time in many allergy seasons neither one of us woke up with stuffy nose. Worked so well we bought another for our living room. You can turn off the bright lights via a setting but not all of them; there are still some small LEDs you cant turn off on the top panel and my only complaint is that manufacturers of electronics need to STOP putting led indicators in every little button unless you can turn them off! If you need a super dark room to sleep, that would be my only caution as you cant turn off all of the LEDs, even though you can turn off the brightest air quality indicator.

Really like the noise level. have been using it on ECO and only comes on when needed. the air quality is much improved in our bedroom. I had developed allergies to our cat and these are much improved.

A couple months ago my wife and I came back from a week long vacation and were shocked with how our house smelled. We have one dog- a chow. And though we try to keep our house tidy (our robot vacuum runs twice a day and we bath our dog every two weeks) and smelling fresh, we just had no idea that he made such an impact on the experience of walking into our house. We were interested in an air purifier regardless, but also wanted it to help with the smell. Im happy to report that this device has done wonders for our house. Both in air quality and in eliminating dog smell. Weve had guests come over and confirm that it did make a difference. If you do want to eliminate smells, you do need to turn the ionizer on, but it works. I will say the highest fan function is pretty loud. But weve kept ours on a medium level and its pretty quiet and does the job fine. We never use the highest function except when we first got it and left on high while we were out of the house. For the price, I highly recommend this.

I have already purchased two of these units. They’ve done a fantastic job cleaning the air. and are easy to clean and replace filters as needed. Something I did not expect was that the amount of dusting I needed to do the house was cut in half. While it may be a little larger on the facia than other units, the modern/art deco styling looks good in any room. I decided to buy a third one to cover one more room. Again, excellent quality and does the job. No complaints.

I got my first Airmega back in September, and I snagged a 2nd one thanks to a Black Friday deal in mid-November. Obviously, I really liked the first unit which we use in our living room. It cleans the air on the same level as my old Rabbit Minus A2 which is now approaching 14 years old (for real, I just checked my order history here since I bought it on Amazon in 2009 ), and the Rabbit looks and runs like new (Im amazed how well it has held up). However, unlike the Rabbit, this Coway Airmega has much more affordable filter replacement options and has the added benefit of turning the ionizer on/off. I usually like to keep it on myself (makes the air smell crisper), but it is nice to have the ability to toggle it on/off. Seemingly able to clean as well as my Rabbit and operate at a similar noise level, I didnt see the need to spend hundreds more on another brand. About the noise: the Airmega operates at a very acceptable noise level when on level 2. I keep it there for the most part since its not loud while still moving a ton of air (blows your hair up if you lean over it). If were vacuuming and cleaning, I bump it up to the max, and it sounds more like a vacuum cleaner at that level. Fine by me since you can feel its moving a massive amount of air, and thats what I want when were cleaning and dust is flying, my dogs dander and hair is getting shaken up into the air, etc... this thing has resulted in nearly no dust in the living area around it. It really sucks up the junk floating about. It isnt the prettiest thing in the world but you could absolutely do worse, and at least it has a fairly slim profile. Were able to tuck it behind a recliner where you dont even see it (in a corner), and thanks to the low noise level, no visitors even realize its there. The lowest level is extremely quiet, but it moves such little air, I cant imagine it being useful. Thats the curse with all these units, even my much more expensive Rabbit. Whisper quiet at low levels is nice, but if I can feel more air pressure exhaling out of my nose than from whats coming out of the unit, Ill opt for a bit more noise. The reason I listed this as 2 stars is because on one hand, I couldnt bring myself to putting it at 1 star given how great the filtration is and the low noise from the unit. Those are huge positives for me and especially given the price point. But, what kills this for me is an apparent lack of support by the manufacturer. I found that out recently when I accidentally tore a hole in the pre-filter, meaning the piece that comes with the unit and is washable, not the filters that you buy as a pack and replace as needed. The pre-filter is apparently not sold by anyone on earth other than Coway, and despite having it listed on their website, its been sold out for weeks. I suspect much longer since I see reviews here mentioning the exact same problem. I contacted their support on the website, asking when will this be back in stock? I was sent a robotic, unhelpful response, a scripted paragraph about how my order (I dont have an order, thats kind of the issue here...I want to make one) will end up canceled if the out of stock item does not end up coming back in stock, and that they dont know when or IF the item will ever come back in stock. It reads like a very generic message they send for any questions about out of stock items, so I really dont know if this is an indication they never plan to produce more pre-filters or....maybe they randomly will one day and by luck Ill open the website at that exact moment to happen to buy one before its gone again? Yeah, that kills it for me. If I cant get another pre-filter, Im not going to keep replacing the replaceable filters. Ill get another air purifier that has actual manufacturer support. The whole point of the pre-filter is that it serves to collect the big stuff coming in to your purifier before it hits your replaceable filters. With a gaping hole in my pre-filter, all kinds of stuff is getting sucked right in and up against the replaceable filters, both reducing air flow and killing the life of my filters (and making them less effective). Simple little hole, big problem. My Rabbit Minus A2 pre-filter, on the other hand, is original. Its never torn a hole, and Ive cleaned it who knows how many of times, not necessarily gently either. Its far superior to the quality of the Airmega pre-filter. Will the Airmega even turn on 14 years from now? Ill never know since Ill have disposed of it well before then. So, as much as I love this unit, I dont love this brand, and Ill move on once my filters expire. Theres better, more dedicated brands out there who will gladly continue to sell you replacement parts for as long as youll buy them.

I gave this to a relative and have visited since and found the machine on but utterly silent and the smell of the home much improved, two nice benefits to an air-cleaning machine.

It works great. Very efficient electric consumption on the Auto mode. The multi-stage filter is awesome for pet hair. I clean my pre-filter and charcoal every week. The HEPA filter unfortunately didnt last much past 4 months, but it catches a lot of stuff from the kitchen and we do not have a hood at the stove.

Love this. I have it my bedroom and turn it on a couple of hours before I go to bed and no longer wake up with a sore throat from my allergies. Thinking of getting a second one for the rest of my house. A relative recommended this unit as it also helped their allergies.

Quietly clears the air of irritating particles. I wake without stuffiness. The only complaint is that the light on the unit that reports air quality is annoying when trying to sleep so I cover it with a towel.
