Coway - Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty

My recommendation (had three in an apartment for eight years, they didn’t miss a beat) is the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty. Not cheap (~$200) but wait for a sale/coupon if you can. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-air-purifier/

You’re going to want a Coway. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-air-purifier/

Buy the Coway air mega it usually goes on sale pretty often. 10/10

Coway airmega it's excellent. I have mine going 24 hours a day and it senses everything. It also filters the tiniest particles.

The airmega. You can buy filters specifically for dust. There's 3 different types of filters i believe you can buy, the original and two more alternatives

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.

Don't waste the money on Dyson (they're heinously overpriced). Go with one of the Coway models, you'll get more airflow for your money and the filters last much longer than they're rated for. The Coway AirMega AP-1512HH and AirMega 200M are good picks (have both and like them quite a bit). The Levoit and BlueAir models are good too, but they tend to go through filters quickly and that becomes expensive fast. The prefilters on the Coway models are good at catching particles and dust before they make it to the HEPA filter and clog it, so the HEPA lasts much longer. Also, the activated carbon will absorb smells and chemicals. Also, unless you have a giant wide-open space or really big rooms, it tends to work better getting several mid-sized air purifiers vs. one extra-powerful one. More purifiers means more airflow without a lot of noise. They also do a better job covering multiple rooms, since they're less at the mercy of airflow between rooms.

Happy to help! For what it's worth, the Whirlpool suggestion seems to be a similar design to the Coway (with similar benefits). I just don't have previous experience with it, and the Coways are somewhat cheaper and come up consistently on lists of top air purifier models. Note that for many air purifiers, after 3-5 years you'll spend more on HEPA filters than you do on the purifier itself. That's why it's so valuable to have a design that reduces how often the filters need to be replaced. [Wirecutter by the way was my source on being able to run the filters much longer than they're rated for, and they did a good overall set of reviews](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-air-purifier/)

I ended up getting the mighty and it's been great! I'm not an expert but would recommend it. It has helped a lot with hayfever I think. I don't find it overly loud on setting 2 (which is what we leave it at). But yeah if you can keep the door closed I would have thought that would help a lot! I'm now looking for a bigger one for the living room downstairs. From memory I paid around £190. There are deals here and there where you can get it a bit cheaper (like £20 cheaper or so) but didn't want to wait as needed it asap. Good luck!

I got a Coway Airmega because it was highly reviewed on the Wirecutter website after my previous Levoit broke after only a couple years and wasn’t fixable (circuit board inside was fried).

I bought two air purifiers just last week after reading this sub! Coway 150 and ap-1512HH(W), they were on sale on Amazon.ca and I read somewhere I can use the carbon pellet filter from the AP-1512HHS in the non S version. So far so good!

The Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty (or just Airmega Mighty), as per Wirecutter. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-air-purifier/ Wait for a sale. I got mine for £160 or so.

I see the Mighty recommended in multiple places and articles. Witecutter have chosen it as the best air purifier for a decade. That’s not the case with the model you mention. If you’re interested in that one for some reason then I would read plenty of reviews and compare it against the Mighty.

Anything Coway! I have a 240 and a 1512;both are great unit the 240 is alittle better and definitely quieter.
