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

I bought a set previously about a year ago and immediately returned it for the same reason a lot of people here complain about: the smell. I bought these again hoping that maybe the quality had improved and I was pleasantly surprised. The filters didnt have such a pungent smell to it this time. Its there if you smell for it but its very faint. I installed it in the fan and the air smelled fine. The print on the hepa filter itself still looked like an imitation of the original filter that came with the fan but at least it was usable and fit.

I was worried about all the reviews saying this filter replacement gave off a strong chemical smell when running it in the air purifier. I am happy to report that there is no smell! It is an exact replacement to the original filter that came with my machine. Very satisfied with this purchase!

Good product works great

I bought this unit because it was recommended by in an appliance magazine survey. Its really well designed. Very quiet unless its put on maximum fan speed, and even then the sound is less than what youd expect. It can be used in the manual mode or in the automatic mode. In the manual mode the fan speed is constant. In the automatic mode a sensor determines how many particles are in the air and it adjusts the fan speed up until the air quality improves and then it moves the fan speed back down. The controls are all intuitive. Very good value.

We have the Coway air purifier due to a dog with allergies. This is in combination with vinyl plank flooring has been a tremendous help. Easy to order and quick delivery. Very pleased.

The price of GOOD air filtration products are painful, but they make a huge difference. I have 2 AirMega machines in my home and they have improved my breathing immensely. Highly recommended!

Was happy to open the package and get the exact OEM filter when purchasing my Coway mighty along with 2 additional prefilters. I did read some reviews stating the filters had an awful smell to them, mine did not so that issue must have been resolved.

I can confirm other reviews commenting on the VOCs, or to me the smell. It does have a very plasticy, unpleasant smell when you put your face right in the air and take a deep breath. Dont notice it in the room though and no one has yet died in the 6 months since I installed it. Air seems clean.

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.

When I moved to New York City I was diagnosed with reactive airway disorder which was causing a terrible cough. My doctor recommended I buy an air purifier so I did some research on the most highly rated brands. Coway was highly recommended and was affordable so I took a chance and bought it. Within a few weeks my cough disappeared. I love to have my windows open which only adds to air pollution, so this became essential for me. But anyone who has healthy children or people with health problems would benefit from this. It is fairly quiet, in fact silent on the low setting, and easy to clean. It has a three filter system and the refills are affordable. I find that the full three part filter lasts about six months. Even if you do not have health problems this air purifier is a must for anyone’s home.
