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

* Updated to 1 star as I ordered a 2nd filter set for my other air purifier and seem to have received a counterfeit. This was also ordered directly from Amazon, so buyer beware! Note in the image that replace is relpace and odor is oder. Also noted that the correct filter set has #3304899 in the lower righthand corner vs #3109905 in the counterfeit. The COWAY logo is also the incorrect font. I expect better than this when ordering from the 1st party instead of shady 3rd parties. * Product appears to be genuine OEM replacement filters from Coway. These were ordered directly (sold by) Amazon and delivered on the last day of 2021. The black filters did not have any sort of chemical smell, however the same cannot be said for the HEPA filter, sadly. The HEPA filter had an incredibly intense chemical odor upon removing it from its plastic wrap. I left the filter to sit in the garage for 1.5 weeks before attempting to use. The odor dissipated some, however as soon as the filter was placed in the air purifier and ran, the odor emitted was very strong again. I can only imagine how bad it would have been had I not left the filter to rest for that 1.5 weeks prior. I ended up having to place the air purifier in the basement, running on maximum strength, for 24+ hours. After running the air purifier for 24+ hours, the odor finally dissipated. This type of chemical odor should not be acceptable for a consumer product, particularly one aimed at cleaning the air. I would imagine that if you used this filter directly without a safe place to get rid of the odor, this could potentially be a health risk? This is only my opinion, not an expert (clearly). I would look at finding an alternative solution in the future should reviews reflect strong chemical odors persist.

This is the thing we needed. It had the quality the brand carries.

I can confirm other reviews commenting on the VOCs, or to me the smell. It does have a very plasticy, unpleasant smell when you put your face right in the air and take a deep breath. Dont notice it in the room though and no one has yet died in the 6 months since I installed it. Air seems clean.

Because our apartment gets a lot of gas, we have to change the HEPA filter frequently and the packaging gives you only one HEPA filter and two thin black dust collector filters. So we have built up a collection of black dust filters since we don’t have to change those as frequently and the HEPA filter is more critical to be changed than the dust filters.

I bought this unit because it was recommended by in an appliance magazine survey. Its really well designed. Very quiet unless its put on maximum fan speed, and even then the sound is less than what youd expect. It can be used in the manual mode or in the automatic mode. In the manual mode the fan speed is constant. In the automatic mode a sensor determines how many particles are in the air and it adjusts the fan speed up until the air quality improves and then it moves the fan speed back down. The controls are all intuitive. Very good value.

I was a bit skeptical when ordering because I have never used an air purifier before. We just moved into a small cabin which had lingering smoke and marijuana smells - turned on this machine and the smell was gone within an hour! I was amazed! It runs very quietly, was super easy to set up and get started, and it looks stylist and nice in my cabin. It is a bit pricey but so far is earning its way. As allergy season progresses we will see how it affects my husband’s ability to breathe better but so far I am extremely impressed!

This is my first time replacing the Coway air filters so I had the originals to compare to. They looked exactly the same as the originals Happy with the product.

Sure, you could get generic filters that are cheaper, but certain things i like to spend more on. For example i only need to buy this once a year. Ill spend more for the name brand cuz you know what youre getting and its really not that much more.

I like the job these filters do with my Coway Air-Purifier. Zero problems so far!

Ive tried replacement filters from other manufacturers but theres a reason you buy OEM products. No chemical smells, no need to worry about fit. Only thing is these will sometimes go on sale for $5 cheaper, so buy ahead of time when they do go on sale so you have them when you need them!
