COWAY Air Purifier for Home Up to 1,575ft², App-Enabled Smart Technology, Compatible with Amazon Alexa, HEPA Filter for Smoke, Allergies, Odor, Auto Mode, Airmega AP-1512HHS Black

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.

I’m genuinely impressed with the Coway Airmega Mighty2. It's one of those rare air purifiers that focuses on solid performance and thoughtful design rather than flashy connectivity. The fact that it doesn’t rely on an app is actually one of its biggest strengths. Everything you need to know is presented right on the unit itself, with smart, easy to understand indicators. The real-time air quality display is excellent: it shows PM 1.0, PM 2.5, and PM 10.0 levels clearly, so you can see exactly what’s in your air. Having those precise readings makes a big difference compared to models that only show vague color lights. Maintenance is incredibly easy too. The slide out pre filter design is great for stopping dust from getting everywhere when removing it. No awkward panels or latches, just pull, clean, and slide it back in and unlike most air purifiers, the Mighty2 actually tells you the health percentage of both the pre filter and the main filters. That level of information makes upkeep feel effortless and ensures you never second guess when it’s time for maintenance or replacement. Performance wise, it’s fast, effective, and quiet. You can see the air clearing within minutes, and even at higher fan speeds, the sound is more of a soft hum than anything disruptive. The build quality is sturdy and reassuring, with intuitive controls that make operation simple for anyone.

I’ll touch on the purification, but the reason I have this, and why it was suggested to me - is for a sleeping aid! That is ALL I use it for and it is EXCELLENT for such. I was miserable and tried earplugs and white noise through my speaker. My brain knew that was artificial. This thing did the trick! My savior! It has 3 speed levels. Which, I’m guessing the lowest levels is what they’re saying is more quiet than an air conditioner. Level 3 is absolutely NOT more quiet than an AC. This isn’t about it justing be loud enough to drown out noise. I’m pretty sure it’s about FREQUENCY. Imagine the sound of an air conditioner, but a little louder and giving you a slight breeze to make your room just a SMIDGE cooler. If there are cars, birds, noisy AC condenser units outside, or people talking outside, turn this thing immediately makes them DISAPPEAR like magic. I think it’s got to do with the airwave frequencies. It brings your mental attention to your room because the purifier sound is in your room. So it keeps you in the present and kind of acts as a sensory deprivation when it comes to audio. It also makes light rain sounds disappear AND thunder!!! While not being disturbing. It’s soothing to me. I had this thing for 4 years until the fan gave out. Using it almost every night. Level 2 will only drown out the most subtle nuances like light wind and things in the distance. Sometimes I use it if it’s a quiet night. But level 3 is what I usually use to really help me knock out. If it’s off or level 2 and I wake up to some noise outside or wind chimes, I just get up and punch the 3 and boom it’s all gone and I’m back to bed. 😴 As for purifying the air, it’s always showing a blue light to indicate clean air. But it’s still good to use because the sensor doesn’t detect EVERYthing. For me the air purification is just a bonus. I probably wait too long to change the filters but they’re easy to do! And dust doesn’t go flying everywhere when I change it. That I can see.. But remember all you gotta do is turn it back on when the filter is changed in order for it to clean that invisible dusty air back up. I assume. Very RARELY does the light change to indicate air impurity. Maybe sometimes purple if it’s SUPER windy or there was a fire somewhere outside that you can smell. One time I was applying a diatomaceous earth powder to my room for bugs, and the light went REDD and I left it runnning for a whole day and I think it reallly helped. Probably wasn’t good at all for the machine but it kept going! I have never tried out the ion setting because the description I have read scares me. Ion wanna try it.. A few days ago, after 4 years, the fan just stopped going. And it made some noise. For the week leading up to it, sometimes the fan would slow down for 5 seconds and then go back. It sounded more like a power issue with maybe my apartment. But then when the fan stopped, I think that was my answer. Not sure how long it’s shooosed to last. I’m sure it varies. But I would say it’s worth it for 4 years. I don’t need any pictures. What you see in the other pictures is accurate. It’s the height of the length of a coat hanger! It’s less than a coat hanger wide by a good bit, and it’s half the length of a coat hanger deep when you measure behind it. Maybe that’ll give you an idea of the size. Not bad. It’s at the foot of my bed. Cleaning it was super simple. I’m ordering another one and it’s giving me same-day shipping. Idk. It’s cool.

La entrega fue muy rápida, me llegó un día antes de lo previsto, primer punto positivo. El purificador esta hecho de muy buenos materiales segundo punto positivo. En cuanto al ruido en el nivel 1 el ruido no es perceptible y en el nivel 2 es casi imperceptible, en el nivel 3 si se escucha mucho pero son muy pocas ocasiones y por muy poco tiempo en las que se tiene que usar en nivel 3 por lo que también es un punto positivo. Otro punto positivo en mi opinión es su tamaño que es más compacto que otros de su misma capacidad. Yo vivo en una zona donde hay muchas construcciones de edificios en los alrededores lo cual ha hecho que en los últimos dos años haya mucho polvo en el ambiente, además la calidad de aire en la ciudad donde vivo ha bajado mucho también lo que ha provocado que tenga reacciones alérgicas que sobe todo en las noches provocando que se me congestionen las vías respiratorias y batalle para respirar. Las 3 noches que llevo usándolo hasta ahora el nivel de polvo en la habitación a bajado casi en un 90%, no he tenido reacciones alérgicas y en las noches no se me congestiona la nariz, lo tengo encendido las 24 horas del día en el nivel de velocidad 1. Todavía es pronto para ver si tendré buenos resultados a largo plazo pero hasta el día de hoy ha sido muy bueno. A los que están investigando la compra de un purificador de aire les recomiendo que analicen muy bien su situación particular. Este purificador me ha sido muy útil ya que elimina polvos, olores y la gran mayoría de contaminantes, también por lo que investigué elimina solo parte de los gases emitidos por los automóviles en zonas de tráfico pero cuidado, no los elimina del todo, si tu vives en una zona de mucho tráfico vehicular y necesitas eliminar los gases producidos por el tráfico necesitas otro tipo de purificador. En mi caso particular ha resultado excelente compra y si lo recomiendo, estoy por comprar el segundo para la recámara de mis hijos.

I recently moved into a new place that had not been cleaned properly, didn’t really notice until I moved in and realized the carpets were just packed with dust, so for the last month every two days the entire house is covered in dust. I bought this thing with low hopes that it would help, and so far I am extremely impressed. I’ve been running the machine in my room for two days now with the door closed, with the daily vacuum and other bearing my pillows and bed to stir up the dust. Today there’s barely any dust anywhere. I figure one more day and I should be in the clear. This thing really is amazing and if you want to run it while you’re sleeping, Eco mode is extremely quiet. Would definitely recommend this if you got a dusty home.

I’ve been running the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH(W) in my 600 sq foot condo and it’s been a solid, no fuss air purifier. Setup is simple, the filters are easy to access, and the pre-filter being washable is a nice touch because it catches a lot of the bigger dust and hair before it hits the main filters. Most of the time, I leave it on Auto or Eco. Auto is great for day-to-day use, it ramps up quickly after cooking and then settles back down once things clear. Eco is even better if you like a quieter room because it will shut the fan off when the air has been clean for a while, then kick back on when it detects something. In normal use, speeds 1 and 2 are very quiet, speed 3 is loud, but it also moves a lot of air so I only use it when I actually need it. The air quality light and colour indicator is genuinely useful (and you can turn the light off). After a few hours I noticed my place feels fresher, and it clears cooking smells faster than I expected for a unit this size. Only thing to keep in mind is the ongoing filter cost, it’s worth checking replacement prices where you live and considering grabbing a spare set when they’re on sale. Overall though, for the size, noise level on low and mid, and how well it keeps up in a small to medium room, I’m happy with it. Highly recommend!

I'm glad I made the investment on this, specifically the HHS model with the Smart Technology. My last purifier wasn't effective in cleaning the air. I would see an accumulation of dust around the filter, but the purifier always left a weird smell in the room and it caused me to have a consistent dry cough. I don't experience this issue with the Coway Airmega. This purifier is super easy to take apart and clean, and I like the fact that I can control it using the mobile app. Sometimes I forget to turn off the light on the purifier, and the app allows me to easily do this while I'm in bed. I also like the fact that the app shows me the percentage of life for each filter and when I should be cleaning and/or replacing them. As someone who would rather not think about it, this feature is a must. I do tend to let the purifier run at all times, and it's almost always on the highest setting. However, this does wear out your filters more quickly so it's something to be mindful of. I may switch to the ECO setting during the day and the highest setting during the night to preserve the life of the filters. I noticed some people touched on the loudness of the purifier when it's on the highest setting. While it's true that it is quite loud, I don't find it bothersome personally - and this is coming from a sensitive sleeper. I actually prefer having that sound in the background while I'm sleeping because it's effective at blocking any outside noise which has resulted in deeper sleeps. I used to get woken up early mornings (and sometimes in the middle of the night) because there's 9 of us in our household and there's almost always someone talking or reeking havoc lol. But ever since I've owned this purifier, it's been doing an excellent job of keeping a consistent sound in my room. All in all, this has been a great purchase and I have no complaints so far. Setup was not complicating whatsoever. It's easy to maintain. The air smells cleaner which keeps my sinuses under control. It helps me to sleep better. And it's well-constructed.

Compré este purificador de aire que al principio me gustó, realmente es muy silencioso, solo que después de usarlo solo 2 meses ya me dice que cambie el filtro. Por qué? Se supone que hay que cambiarlo después de 6 meses...y eso que solo lo usamos durante la noche...realmente decepcionante...
