Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier with True HEPA and Eco Mode

Opened the box a and followed all the instructions to remove packaging etc but it never worked. After switching on the power butter the speed buttons flash and then I’m not able to click on anything else. It doesn’t turn on at all. And very unhelpful customer service so have not been able to return the item!

I bought a $90 tower purifier which took a long time to clear the air and which was noisier than a jet engine. I lived with it, but when the Canadian wildfire smoke descended upon us in NYC, I loaned it to my downstairs neighbor, who had elderly and special needs family members, and I ordered this as a replacement. It's more than double the cost of the other unit, but based on the reviews from the New York Times and other review sites, the quality and performance are well worth the investment. So I splurged and got this unit. While I was waiting for it to arrive, the air pollution got really bad and I had been coughing, eyes were watering and I was forced to wear an N-95 mask at home just to breathe. When the purifier finally arrived, I turned it on and the sensor light went red to indicate the high level of contamination in the air. I opened the doors of every room of my apartment to let it go to work and after a few minutes at full power, the light turned from red to purple, and about 5 minutes later, it went blue. I took my mask off and the air was pure and fresh. It is an absolute superhero at cleaning a large volume of air very quickly. I was thoroughly impressed. The sensor is very sensitive and will turn purple if you are just cooking something that releases strong scents into the air (sauteeing onions and peppers, etc.) and it goes red if you're burning anything. Another upside is that my kitchen smoke detector has stopped going off if I'm grilling something, because the purifier keeps the air quality under control. At the highest setting, it's about as loud as my old purifier at the middle setting, which is to be expected, as you would only set it that high to quickly clear out a room or if there's smoke from cooking, etc. But the massive volume of clean air it blows out in exchange for that short term annoyance is staggering. However, at the 2nd highest setting it is barely detectable, producing a pleasant, white noise background sound that you quickly tune out. It makes falling asleep very easy, and if you have the air conditioner on you can't hear the purifier at all. At it's lowest setting, it blows out a nice stream of air but is utterly and completely silent. You couldn't even hear it at night time in a small, quiet room with the door shut. Amazing. They say you never regret buying the best. They know what they're talking about. This is worth every penny and then some. 5 stars, all day.

Puntos clave: - Filtración HEPA de última generación - Diseño compacto y elegante - Rendimiento excepcional en la limpieza del aire Este purificador Coway ha transformado literalmente la calidad del aire en mi hogar. El filtro HEPA captura con eficacia partículas microscópicas, desde polen y polvo hasta alérgenos y micropartículas. Especialmente útil para quienes vivimos cerca de volcanes: controla eficientemente la ceniza volcánica, protegiendo nuestra salud respiratory en zonas de alta contaminación atmosférica. Lo que más me impresiona es su silencioso funcionamiento y su efectividad. Su diseño moderno se integra perfectamente en cualquier espacio, y el panel de control es intuitivo y fácil de usar. Recomendación: Indispensable para personas con alergias, mascoteros, habitantes de zonas volcánicas, o simplemente quienes valoran un aire limpio en casa.

Normalmente estudio bastante antes de hacer una compra, diferentes marcas, productos, leo reseñas, etc. Después de hacer mi “research” llegue a la conclusión de que este era el purificador de aire que tenía que comprar. La razón principal fue la relación de precio con las capacidades del mismo. Es relativamente pequeño de tamaño y logra cubrir una buena área. La capacidad de filtrar varias veces por hora el aire de la habitación (CADR) y su diseño. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Las primeras dos velocidades son silenciosas, casi imperceptibles. La tercera velocidad si es algo ruidosa, pero no es una velocidad que se vaya a usar mucho. Es súper fácil de instalar, es “plug & play”. Un verdadero filtro HEPA que es lo que se requiere para estas épocas de Covid. Mi único comentario no tan positivo es que no se conecta a wifi, pero para eso está el otro modelo que si lo hace aunque no se si justifica el precio. Por lo demás lo recomiendo ampliamente.

I think so highly of this that I have purchased multiple. It works great in our large bedrooms to manage dog hair and dander (we have a large German Shepherd, so it manages A LOT of hair). I also have one in my daughter's room where she keeps a herd of 3 guinea pigs. Before this was in her room, it always felt dusty and smelled like hay. Now the dust is much improved, and the hay smell is totally gone. We do use it with pet filters and keep it running on low all the time. At low speed, you almost can't hear it. At the higher speeds, it sounds just like white noise, so it is still just fine to run at high over night. The first layer filter is easy to clean, and all layers of the filter are easy to change. The first layer we clean about weekly, but it tells you when it needs to be cleaned (for us, this is where most of the dog hair catches). The disposable filters only need to be replaced every few months, and they are easy to change. This has made a huge difference for me in the air quality and breathability of the room air in our bedrooms.

It works amazing, purchased to help with capturing vape/THC smoke (specifically concentrates) in my gaming room, clears up any type of smoke pretty great and I puff like a dragon lol. The purifier is very light compared to other purifiers I’ve had and blows very strong, filters seem okay not super snug but just enough. My only downside about this product is that it leaves this weird chemical or factory smell while in use which is why I’m giving it a 3 star, I’m hoping it will clear up with in the return period as it really bothers me, but is a good purifier. luckily I don’t sleep in my gaming room so get to have a break from the smell, maybe my nose is just that sensitive but I will update soon to report if the smell goes away or not. Update Feb 14th 2026: Its been about a couple weeks now with continuous daily use, it helps capture a lot of air pollutants and I am not having to dust off my electronics every other week, my PC seems to be dust free for the most part and seems like i wont be needing to clean/wipe it once or twice every month (I have some bad OCD lol). My lady also noted it helps tone done the aroma of marijuana when i have friends over, it doesn't linger no where as long as it did compared to no air purifier, now don't go thinking it will eliminate the smell entirely in mere minutes, it still takes a bit to rid the odor of any type of smoke aroma, but alot quicker compared to no air purifier. Now for the chemical/factory smell. After leaving the purifier set to either setting 1 or eco mode while away from home, the chemical/factory smell took a couple days for to dissipate that I noted in my initial review, the air now smells fresh and clean now. I also used the ionizer feature, but after prolonged use I felt like it kind of added some weird layer of dirty air and my lungs weren't feeling it after being cooped up in my gaming room for hours and hours, with a bit of research id recommend using this feature for a short period of time, it does increase cleaning power by using charged ions to clump particles for easier filtration, should generally be left off or used sparingly. While it may boost cleaning power, they often produce small amounts of ozone, a lung irritant that can trigger asthma, this is why i had the sensation of a dirty layer of air. Rely on the HEPA filter for primary cleaning and use the ionizer only for quick, occasional refreshing. other than that switching rating from a 3 to 5, not every product can be perfect right out of the box, overall satisfied with my purchase thus far. will update if any issues arise with the product.
