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

I love this purifier!! I was told I had allergies so I purchased this and see a big improvements in my eye irritation. I put it in my room and the air smells so fresh. The buttons light up bright on top, I just lay a black cloth just to cover the buttons at night or it makes for a good night light if you want. It was a windy day and there is construction directly behind my home. The purifier was near my back open door and immediately the sensor turned red. I closed the door and the sensor went back to green. My eyes look and feel so much better since Ive been using this purifier. I will be buying another one for a different room but for now I move it around.

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 set up the air purifier and put it on Eco to start. I was concerned because for the first 2 hours the device just showed blue - meaning air quality was good. I was worried it would stay like that all the time. I have a gas stove without great ventilation. I have the unit set up in my dining room - about 15 feet away from the oven(in a straight line - not an open space so a wall separating the unit from the kitchen). The unit turned to purple 3 minutes after I turned the burner on - and red about 5 minutes in - And stayed on throughout me cooking. Once I turned the stove off the unit went back to blue about 5-6 minutes later. The same thing happens if I happen to - ya know - maybe take a puff of something quickly indoors. Even when I’m 20 feet + away the unit turns on to clear the air. On top of all this - I have had issues with frequent bloody noses. That issue has improved since I started running the air filter. This was not the reason for getting the unit but has been a bonus benefit. I think all the above circumstantial evidence does somewhat prove that this machine in fact makes a big difference. I think this unit belongs in every home.

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.

The 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.

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.

Been 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.

The noise level on level 1 and 2 is incredibly silent. 3 is pretty loud but its a nice feature so I can run it at full speed. I will be buying multiple units of this. The filters feel and look very premium. I would belive it is true HEPA. Only time will tell how the filters will perform. I am not sure about the negative ion thing.

I work indoors. This makes a noticable difference. Also like the adjustable settings. I think this is a good purchase.

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