CowayAP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier with True HEPA and Eco Mode, black/silver, 16.8 x 18.3 x 9.6

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.

Got this when it was on sale. I waited patiently for the price to get lower as after doing much research on air purifiers this one is the rated the best all over the internet. While I do not know about all the other functions or haven't really messed with it, I will tell you this much... It has improved my air quality in my entire apartment. Whenever I have it on, it smells super fresh and clean almost soothing.When it is on the high setting it is rather loud, but the noise to me is soothing and actually helps me sleep. I like it that you can set it to turn off after a few hours. So far after months and months of use, the filter is still in great shape. I am so happy with this purchase that I have recommended it to my family. I am sure by how sturdy it is that it will last for years.Overall, this purchase is worth it to clean your air and your life. The air we breathe is as important as the water we drink and everyone deserves to have pure air!

The Coway Airmega is everything I was looking for in an air purifier—powerful performance, low maintenance, and sleek design. I've been using it for a few months now, and the difference in air quality is night and day.It’s surprisingly quiet, even on higher settings, and the auto mode is super smart—it ramps up when it detects particles and dials back down to save energy when the air is clean. The air in my bedroom feels noticeably fresher, and my allergy symptoms have gone way down since I started using it.The True HEPA filter catches dust, pollen, and even pet dander like a champ. I also really appreciate the eco mode and the filter replacement indicator—it's set-and-forget convenience with top-tier filtration.Design-wise, it’s clean and modern. It doesn’t look bulky or out of place like some purifiers. It fits easily in the corner of the room and runs so quietly, I forget it’s even there.If you’re looking for a reliable air purifier that works well in medium-sized spaces, the Coway Airmega is a total win. Affordable, efficient, and trustworthy—just get it!

This product is the real deal. Worked great at eliminating smoke smell from cooking or outdoors. We have a sensitive smoke detector and this product has successfully stopped it from sounding off scaring everyone in the house should we forget to turn on the hood fan. No more grass smell or outside odors coming into the home. Easy to use and very functional. Love the economy mode saving electricity, and the option to switch to Hepa or Odor mode too. Easy to move from room to room. I’m pleased with this product.

If I had bought this air purifier for most rooms of my house, it would be great. Unfortunately, I bought it for my bedroom, which means I want it to be quiet and dim.Good:* Seems to do its job, filtering air. It moves a lot of air.* The speed 1 is very quiet* Clear indicators for current air quality and for filter replacement* Multiple air flow speedsMixed:* You can turn off the biggest light, the one showing air quality. Unfortunately, it's the most useful light (though way too big and bright for night time), and other LEDs cannot be disabled. I keep a strip of cardboard over the top delay. The bright lights are all on the top, which make them easy to cover.Bad:* The highest air flow setting is VERY loud, loud enough that it would wake me from a deep sleep. This means the "auto" setting is worthless to me, as I do not want it to shift into airplane engine mode in the middle of the night. I have to leave it on 1 or 2 manually.* No way to turn off all LEDs or to limit auto mode to lower speeds.
