"I got a Coway AirMega because my apartment used to smell like my stinky chihuahua no matter what I did, and the smell is gone. ... Like when I come back to my apartment and open the door, instead of being like "wow, that is what I've been noseblind to?!" it smells the same as the hallway."
"The sensors are amazing. ... Yes whenever I cook or smoke they instantly kick on and work really well."
"It definitely cleans cooking odors/smoke no matter what room of my house it’s in, but I like to clear the kitchen air quickly for my own sake."

"My air purifier for months was red and I figured the light was broken because I wasn’t experiencing any symptoms (no sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes) and I’m allergic to everything. ... Then we discovered mold on a shelf. Threw out the shelf, air purifier turned blue and no more issues. So it was definitely doing its job!"
"A Coway AirMega in the classroom was how I survived a couple bad wildfire years. It made an enormous difference."
"this thing has been amazing!!! ... I have two kids with seasonal allergies and this thing has been amazing!!!"

"Last year there were wildfires nearby and the airmega kicked itself into high gear (I keep it on auto), so I do really trust that it’s actually doing something."
"The sensors are amazing. ... Yes whenever I cook or smoke they instantly kick on and work really well."
"great to put it on eco mode , as it detects poor air quality it automatically switches modes to higher setting and shows it as purple or red and once air is back to being good it goes back to eco mode and shows blue."

"I have a Coway hp-1512, bought it in 2016, so far it's lasted over four times as long as the several Honeywell filters I bought before it (All of which died after about 2 years)."
"They've run 24/7 for years without an issue."

"You need one per room, they dont really cover more than a few hundred sq ft."
"I was shocked to discover it's pretty common for air purifier companies to mislead when it comes to room coverage. ... The Airmega is rated for about 300-350 square feet but that's only based on testing it at its highest fan speed. ... It's presented very differently in Wirecutter and Amazon when it comes to recommended room size."

"All of the conventional options recommended won’t cut it if you’re being serious. ... I have a few coway airmegas and blueairs and they don’t do much for real VOCs/smoke. ... My airmega has like 1lb of carbon, I’d recommend an allerair- I’ve got two airmedic 6 pro and the difference is remarkable. I think they have 25+ lbs of carbon."
"tried the Conway and there was so much plastic offgassing. I returned it.."
"Idk, I don’t find the Airmega 1512hh helpful when it comes to smells. ... The carbon sheet feels useless in comparison to pelleted carbon."

"the filter costs have you replacing filters every 3 or 4 months with full use."
"so are Coway and Blue Air when you add up the cumulative price of filters. ... And, I find I need filter replacements much more often than recommended further increasing the cost."
"DO not buy their filters directly from them - way overpriced"

"My only complaint is that they lack a child lock button and my cats like to walk across the buttons and make changes."
"my older son kept messing with the coway and it got stuck on a setting so I can’t turn it up or down."
I have the Coway AP-1512HHS (the app-enabled Airmega, there’s also a dumb version that can’t connect) that I use via a HACS integration.
r/homeassistant • Air purifiers that work with HA ->Sorry, what "air quality problems"? Can't say we've noticed any, with our 3 air purifiers running 24/7 in a one-bedroom apartment... 😉 (Both of us have pollen allergies and one of us has asthma.) That should answer your question. Seriously, buy an air purifier. Once you feel the difference you'll probably end up getting a few more. We've got two of the medium Coway models (Airmega AP-1512HH or 200M) and a smaller BlueAir. They also help with smells -- bathroom, pet, or cooking. Highly recommend the Coways because they: * Are whisper-quiet on all but the highest setting, and can auto-adjust (though we usually leave them on medium because they get loud if they kick into high). * Move a lot of air for their size * Have filters that last way longer than they're rated for (as long as you clean the prefilter) * You can turn the main light on the purifier off for use in a bedroom at night Tip: it's better to get several medium air purifiers and put one in each room or area rather than getting just one big one.
r/askTO • Had an air purifier helped with the air quality? Is it worth getting one? ->Anything Coway! I have a 240 and a 1512;both are great unit the 240 is alittle better and definitely quieter.
r/AirPurifiers • Need suggestions on a purifier under $350 ->Coway Airmega AP-1512HH has been my go-to for a couple of years. It’s compact, quiet, and works like a charm for medium-sized rooms (up to 361 sq. ft.). The 4-stage filtration system (pre-filter, HEPA, carbon, and ionizer) is super effective at removing dust, allergens, and odors. I love that it has an eco mode to save energy when the air quality is good. It’s reliable and low-maintenance.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • What are the best air purifiers that you'll recommend for home currently? ->I second Coway. I have the [Coway Airmega AP-1512HH](https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplianceAdvice/comments/1cx5tt5/best_air_purifier_to_buy/) and it is a fantastic air purifier to improve indoor air quality. It's quiet, efficient, and has a sleek design that blends seamlessly into any room.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Air Purifiers? ->Coway AP-1512. My only complaint is that they lack a child lock button and my cats like to walk across the buttons and make changes. I’m looking into a whole home purifier for my HVAC system, though.
r/homebridge • What do you think are the best air purifiers for home on the market today? ->Coway Airmega 350, Winix 5500-2 and Coway Airmega 1512.
r/AirPurifiers • Recommendations for an air purifier ->Winix 5500-2 or Coway Airmega 1512
r/AirPurifiers • Thinking of buying an air purifier for my small bedroom, running tight on a budget, please suggest which of these to buy? ->Winix 5500-2 or Coway Airmega ap-1512hh
r/AirPurifiers • Recommend me reliable air purifier ->Winix 5500-2 or 5510. Also Coway Airmega ap-1512hh
r/AirPurifiers • Looking for an air purifier for nurseries ->With the Winix yes. It has a feature called Plasmawave which you can turn off. Coway doesnt have any ozone. I have an 8 month old, and the Winix hasn't bothered her at all. We keep plasmawave on all the time.
r/AirPurifiers • Looking for an air purifier for nurseries ->I just bought the coway airmega ap-1512hh. It was wirecutter’s pick, the amazon reviews were positive, done. I have a new apartment so been buying quite a bit and couldn’t be bothered to go down a rabbit hole of comparing fifteen different products. It’s working well. I do wish it was WiFi enabled. But I bought it for pretty much the same purpose, improving the room smell as I have a very elderly rabbit who no longer uses his litter box. They have a special pet filter but I decided to try out the one it came with for a few days and see if I felt it was necessary - it wasn’t. I don’t think any one air purifier can do the whole house unless it’s attached to your HVAC system. I’m probably going to get another one for the bedroom.
r/AirPurifiers • Best air purifier for litterbox odor/pets in 1,100 sq ft home, $200 max budget? ->I'm also liking Coway. I got 3 of the 1512hh for the bedrooms and so far I'm linking them. Then I got the blueair 211i max and realized that the fabric is the pre-filter. I'm in Los Angeles so I got it because of the wildfires and possible asbestos but I'll be returning it because of this design. I didn't it try at, just took it out, saw how it's all attached together and tomorrow I'll send it back. Waste of time. I now got a Coway mega 1216l I hope it works better, it was only $100
r/AirPurifiers • Am I the only one who thinks that those Blueair air purifiers are not the best? ->You’ll typically see the same top-rated models across Wirecutter, Consumer Reports, and Tech Gear Lab: the BlueAir Blue Pure 311i+ Max, Coway Airmega 1512HH, and Winix 5500. The best choice probably depends on the size of the space you’re trying to cover. For my downstairs rooms, I went with two BlueAir units (the 311 and 211 models). BlueAir offers a 25% discount for teachers, military, police, and possibly firefighters (can’t recall for sure), available in both the U.S. and Canada. They also offer a 15% discount on filter replacements if you sign up for a 6-, 9-, or 12-month subscription. For my upstairs office/bedroom—since it’s a smaller space—I went with the Coway Airmega 1512HH and have been happy with it.
