Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty

Based on 434 comments across 1 community
TL;DR
Owners overwhelmingly love this for dust, pollen, pet dander, and wildfire smoke particulates, calling it quiet on low/medium with a handy auto sensor and cheap, easy-to-find filters that last for years. The recurring complaint is its weak carbon filter: it does little to nothing for odors, cooking smells, weed, and VOCs, and several people note it's loud as a jet engine on the highest speed and that the top LED light is too bright for bedrooms. A handful also report a chemical off-gassing smell from new units or replacement filters.

For the living room got a Coway AP-1512HH just yesterday. Also noticed today they are increasing the prices online for this by $50. Not worth to spend above 200 IMO.

I have a Coway ap-1512hh and the air filters aren't that expensive (to me), esp if I use the 3rd party ones. However, I don't think it can really keep up with cooking. It goes nuts sucking stuff in, and will ingest some of the smoke and oil, but the oil still gets all over the house.

The Coway Airmega AP-1512HH is usually at the top of most recommendations at least when I was researching a few years ago, we have 2 and have no complaints.

Their top rated is the Coway AP-1512HH Mighty and I really strongly recommend not getting this unit The box itself works great, but the replacements have a vile chemical smell.

I use the coway ap-1512hh air purifier and it's been great. It's reasonably priced and does a great job with my small studio apartment. I do have to lug it in between the living and bedroom in the morning and night but that's about the only downside of it.

I really noticed a difference after I got mine. It’s the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH(W).

It had good reviews but for a nursery there is a light on top that shines red when it's purifying and blue if it senses that the air is clear, the blue light is very bright so we've had to cover it or turn it off when she's sleeping which obviously isn't ideal.

If it’s on auto, ours get noisy when we’re gas cooking or my partner sears meat. If i was buying again, I don’t think I’d pick them up again but I haven’t explored the options.

The air outside is currently 'Very Hazardous' but the air inside my apartment is safe and clean. When the air isn't poison, it also keeps the room a little cooler and provides lovely white noise at night.

I got 3 Coway 1512hh's to compliment my Winix D360s... they all 3 have that faint sweet chemical smell to them. It's not horrible or burning, but it makes the air feel less crisp

I just got an Airmega AP1512HH and my asthma is sooo much worse, I never usually get this but I feel like something is sitting on my chest, I’m wheezy, cold, clammy and dizzy.

I like it so much that I bought a second one at $180 for smoke/Covid season (to cover the whole apartment).
