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

Bought one of these for one of my kids who has asthma. They use it at their moms house. It improved her breathing so much that I bought one for my house. This and proper preventative maintenance has helped reduce asthma attacks dramatically. PROTIP: Find the filters on Amazon, and set it up on Subscribe and Save for every 3 months. Once the filter arrives, replace it immediately. Do that every three months and youre good to go. Since its on subscribe and save its much harder to forget about since they just show up (PS: Do the same thing for your toothbrush heads).

I have a small business, and now own 5 of these purifiers for the office. I find them to be efficient, and make me, and our clients, feel just a little more comfortable since the pandemic. Filtration and ventilation are key components in effective mitigation. They run on eco mode, so ramp up when there is a need. They were very helpful during wildfire season the past 2 years. I find I dont need to change the filters often, about once a year.

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.

Definitely breathe more comfortably with this bad boy by my bedside.

This is my third air purifier and it is a charm! What is important for me? 1. Purifies air well 2. Noise quality and level 3. Steady built vs flimsy 4. Different speeds 5. Ease of use This machine has all the above. I wanted air purifier as I learned already from my experience with my previous two air purifiers - it really makes a difference for me for a good relaxing night sleep. However, my previous two had couple of issues. My first one was good at the beginning but then instead of soothing woosh it started producing some screechy noise as it was on a flimsy side and very soon the insides started sound worn out. My second one, Rabbit Air, more expensive and solid, I purchased to address the flimsiness of the first one. Well, I did not like it. While not flimsy, with the promised quiet operation, it maybe was not too loud (nor quiet), but the quality of noise reminded of airplane buzz. The looks were quite awful as well. But it does the job. So I kept it but not for sleeping. This Coway is great for sleeping! It is truly quiet on the low settings with barely noticeable hum of pleasant kind. On high settings it does the woosh. Friendly, pleasant woosh. Not like a grass mower or air plane. It was very easy to unpack and get it started. Less than 5 min. It is also very light to carry from room to room if there is a need. It is not flimsy looking and hopefully not flimsy inside. I like the air quality indicator feedback, but it is kind of bright blue, so maybe during night I will have to tape it. This is the only thing, which I see can be improved, but overall it is not a big deal for me. The most important parameters are of excellent quality!

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.

Just received this and it’s working well so far. Four stars because this was meant to replace a fan in the bedroom that is used for white noise while sleeping. There are only three fan speeds, and there needs to be one more between 2 and 3. Two is very quiet, almost imperceptible. 3 is very loud with a continuous high-pitched whine in the background. We’re going to keep the Coway for air purification, but we’re having to keep the white noise fan as well. Not quite what we had hoped.

Very quiet and efficient. Filters dust, animal hair and smells. We use puppy pads for our little Yorkie and it always changes color when she poops. Easy to move around the house. We move to the kitchen when cooking fish and it gets rid of the smell. We’ll buy another for our bedroom-super quiet on #1 setting.

I believe this has made a real improvement in my allergy symptoms. The low setting is quiet enough for me to sleep. Have not figured out how to turn off the light, I just cover it up. It is a little larger than it looks in the pictures, but definitely worth losing that space, even in my small bedroom. Wish I had bought one sooner.

I previously bought BluAir, loved their products but, their customer service became nonexistent recently. A neighbor suggest this brand. This is way cheaper and love this purifier. It’s sleeker, works well and quieter. Very pleased.
