The Coway Airmega AP-1512HH looks different from all the other products on the market. The body is basically a small box with a round opening in front to let air in and a fan on top to push it out. It looks a lot like an old iPod Shuffle, but it can’t play music. It also looks and feels like it belongs in a hotel or office building rather than a modern home. Still, it looks kind of cute, and its small size lets it stay out of the spotlight. It stands about 17 inches high, which makes it easy to store.
The cute look goes well with the beeps and boops it makes. When you turn the device on, it lets you know it’s working with a sweet little chime. It also makes a sound when the front latch is closed and when it is turned off. Strangely, the device’s cheerful beeps are almost reassuring.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]What’s not cute is how heavy it is. When the filters are added, the air purifier weighs 15 pounds. This makes it hard to move around, even with the handle that comes with it. At first glance, it doesn’t look like it’s very heavy, but if you have to drag it from room to room, your arms will feel it.

Where to get Coway Airmega AP-1512HH(W) True HEPA?
The Coway Airmega AP-1512HH has five fan speed settings, including an eco mode and an auto mode. There is also a timer you can use to set your air purifier to turn off when you leave. On top of all this, there is an ionizer option with its own button. This is meant to help improve the quality of the air it is taking in. It sends out negative ions, which stick to pollutants and make it easier for the machine to get rid of them.
The light that shows how clean the air is is also helpful. As the Airmega takes in pollen, contaminants, and particles, it tells you how dirty the air is. When the light is blue, the air quality is good, when it’s orange, it’s getting worse, and when it’s red, it’s really bad. If you hold down the ionizer button for three seconds, you can turn off the light. This is useful for using the machine at night. In auto mode, the Airmega AP-1512HH will change the speed of its fan based on how good the air is. This helps make sure it only uses as much power as it needs to.
