Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Air Purifier Replacement Filter Set, 1 Count (Pack of 1), White

Was happy to open the package and get the exact OEM filter when purchasing my Coway mighty along with 2 additional prefilters. I did read some reviews stating the filters had an awful smell to them, mine did not so that issue must have been resolved.

I have three of these units. The thing that I like best is the option to remove the carbon filter. I have found those can create a bad, as well as irritating smell for me and make units unusable. I have 2 of these hepa replacements. Haven’t found a problem with any smell. But, on receipt, the first thing I do is throw away the carbon. I also don’t use the ionizer. Hope this helps someone.

The newest change Coway made to cut costs is to manufacture the filters in China and I will be testing the aftermarket filters. Previously I didnt want to use aftermarket filters because I knew they would be lower quality and made in China. Now there is no reason to avoid aftermarket filters because they are probably the same as the new Coway ones, made in China. See photos for differences. I cant believe it is even legal to sell a totally different product on the same listing. Its a different SKU altogether and a different model number. Unfortunately Im not surprised at all because they have changed these filters many times. How can a filter even function if there is a sizable gap all around the edges of the purifier? Air can simply go around the filter instead of through it. Also this time the filter is once again made lighter (about 20%) and theres now a good size gap due to undersized filter. Really I cant believe I havent written this review sooner. Ive been a Coway customer for many years and I have had multiple conversations with their customer service/quality control/product design. I have 3 purifiers that take this filter and will probably expand that to 5 soon, but I will be testing the aftermarket brands. They have changed the design of this filter no less than 4 times, and Im sure they changed them more before I was a customer and also the spans of time where I had stockpiled the filters when I found sales. A couple years ago I got 2 filters that smelled like formaldehyde, totally terrible, and Coway did not take care of the issue, rather said the product was tested and safe ...there may be a temporary scent that should go away quickly in use. It did not, I threw away those filters. Shortly after that incident, they totally changed the filter design. It had 30% less pleats, it became a lot more flimsy, and physically weighed about 50% less than the old design. I run my purifiers on a constant speed of 2 and replace the filter after 1 year of service. To see how well the filters work, I actually weigh the filters when brand new and write it on the filter, and when I replace it I weigh it again. This is the only way an average Joe can test how much dust the filter collects, I know exactly how many grams of contaminants these filters remove from the air. When they changed the filter to be lower cost to manufacture, those filters was the first time I ever noticed a real change in performance, it gathered significantly less dust than the previous filters. Coway said their testing said the new filter is as good or better than the old and offered no solution or compensation for decreasing the quality and raising the price. Yes, after this change there were times the filters were $60+, luckily they have been able to bring the price down but at what cost? Quality. To be fair usually when they changed the filters in the past it wasnt clearly a cost cutting measure, but this makes for the second time they made major cost cutting changes.

I decided to pay extra for the OEM version rather than the generic, and I could instantly tell that the Coway brand had thicker pleats than the generic. Working fine.

Appears to be good quality. Easy to install. Would buy again.

Im loved this filer. Use it for my Conway air cleaner. I have second year clean house from the dust and some smell.

I, like many others, was a bit apprehensive about buying the filter. Fortunately, the filter was perfectly fine when I got it. Put my nose right up to the filter, smelled like what Id expect a filter to smell like. All those reviewers either got fakes or a bad batch.

A lot of ppl did that these smell weird when installed but for us they were prefect. We had a new baby so that was a concerned for us. They fit perfectly. Worth the buy

When I moved to New York City I was diagnosed with reactive airway disorder which was causing a terrible cough. My doctor recommended I buy an air purifier so I did some research on the most highly rated brands. Coway was highly recommended and was affordable so I took a chance and bought it. Within a few weeks my cough disappeared. I love to have my windows open which only adds to air pollution, so this became essential for me. But anyone who has healthy children or people with health problems would benefit from this. It is fairly quiet, in fact silent on the low setting, and easy to clean. It has a three filter system and the refills are affordable. I find that the full three part filter lasts about six months. Even if you do not have health problems this air purifier is a must for anyone’s home.

I ordered this in November and replaced it on the Coway purifier immediately. This claims its a year replacement but 6 months in and the unit is warning to replace the HEPA filter soon. It does keep the air clean and fits perfectly but I think it should last closer to a year.
