> 3 dayDid my research this air purifier is the best bang for you buck while providing high quality cleaning. Very easy to operate and swapping out the filters couldn’t be any easier. Hope this helps if you’re looking at air purifiers!

> 3 dayBeen using for about week in a bedroom, works well, mostly just leave it in auto mode, detects quickly and filters room quickly, very quiet at night on speed 1.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekUPDATE: Yesterday our backyard door was unintentionally left open. When I found it, our neighbors had already gone through their dose of nicotine and it smelled like they finished it in our house. Fantastic. I closed the room off (165 sqft), cranked the fan speed to 3, turned the ionizer on, and set the timer for 1 hour. After 2 hours (vacating the area for an equal time as the ionizer is used) I walked in and the lingering smoke smell was no more. Original: First Id like to point out that the manual does not give any instructions about the ionizer. What it is for, when to use it, how it can be harmful in some situations - nothing. The only reference is showing where the button is. I stumbled across this information before purchasing and bought the Coway AP-1512HH because there was a switch for the ionizer. However, I did expect some instructions as to when and how to use the ionizer to minimize harmful side effects. Please research this before purchasing if you have respiratory problems or using this around babies. You CAN use the ionizer option safely, but should not be in the room (or house for extra measure) while in use and for the same amount of time after it has been turned off. With all that said, I am still very pleased with this purchase. I bought it over competitors for 3 reasons. The first is the option to turn off the ionizer. Most air purifiers do this however but the switch meant I could compare it to non-emitting filters as well. The second is the cost over a 4 year use. After years of use, the savings after totalling up filters and product was $100 at a minimum. I compared it to Winix 5500-2, Levoit LV-PUR131S, and Honeywell HPA300. Winix filters are very expensive and cost twice as much as the Coway after 4 years. Honeywell was on the other end of the spectrum but the upfront cost of the product kept it costly. The third is the noise level being 3 dB lower than the rest. I plan to use it around my newborn, so this became a factor. This is not to say the other products are loud. The fact it lined up with the cost layout simply provided more reason to purchase it. Even at the 2nd fan setting, I kept checking with my hands if it was actually running. It was and it did not disturb my wife nor I throughout the night (set up 2 ft away from the footboard). Now my anecdotal evidence for its effectiveness has to be understood and taken as that - anecdotal. One night of sleep is a terrible data set. But I felt such a difference the next day that I wanted to share right off the bat. I had the Coway running for 3 hrs on the medium setting (ionizer off) before we went to bed. For the past weeks, I have been waking up with irritated eyes and a very scratchy throat (NOT COVID). I actually would wake my wife up throughout the night when scratching my throat in my sleep. After 7 hrs of sleep, I woke up with barely a scratch in my throat and my eyes were totally fine. All other factors remained the same, so Im impressed with the change literally overnight. My next steps will be to run the filter before leaving for work and a few hours before we go to bed. Will update the review if anything significant changes. TL;DR - Add to cart. Research if ionizers fit your need before turning the option on.

> 3 dayI really love this product. But left off one star. If you have a cat(s), be aware this purifier might be a magnetic and due to the placement of the control buttons, you will constantly have to turn on the item again or adjust controls. My cats love the air that blows out on the lowest setting, so much so that I am going to have to fashion some sort of hard cover for the control panel. They keep jumping up to enjoy the air and end up turning off the unit. Of course, I didnt think of that at all when I chose it. And I cant blame the design team for my cats proclivities. But I do want to warn others who might have the same situation.

> 3 dayQuietly 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.

> 3 dayThe purifier was larger than expected. The noise level is quiet. Allergy sufferer noted a very quick improvement of air quality. The unit emits a faint light in a darkened room that does not affect sleep. The jury is out on how costly filter replacements will be.
