Reddit mentions of Coway AP-1512HH White HEPA Air Purifier, 16.8 x 18.3 x 9.6

My roommate and I already have box fans, and I also bought this hefty beast to clean the air: Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_BeuRBbY39TWP3

The Coway AP-1512HH and AP-1512HH(W) are on the CARB Certified Air Cleaning Devices list for meeting California’s ozone standards. I’m not sure why Amazon is not allowing us to order the white one (they did allow it last December I believe). You can still order the black one though.

Pick up a HEPA air purifier

I have this one and it works well:

I currently have this in my bedroom. Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zxXACb71FJM9P

And am considering getting one of their larger versions for the living room/dining room/kitchen area. I am amazed at the amount of stuff that ends up on the filter. I had a Honeywell/Kaz version for years. The coway is a much better unit. I think for me air filters are essentially during wildfire season, but I run it all year long. I don't think I would expect to notice a huge difference in your day to day symptoms but I believe that it prevents bad days from being worse. I think winx makes good units as well just depends on the size of your space and filter replacement costs. Also consider if it has an ionizer/ozone function that you can turn off. It is the general belief that this is not a good feature to have running in a space that you are currently occupying. (Good for odor control when you are not home)

Expensive option is get an air purifier like this one.

Cheap option is window fans for exhaust but another thing that might help is a splatter guard for your pan. Won't stop smoke but also won't steam your food like a lid would. I use one when frying and searing, it definitely makes a difference in how irritated my eyes get afterwards. Here's an option specifically for odor reduction, but I just have a normal mesh one and it still works great.

I agree with BorkinUpTree that it won’t replace meds, etc. But an air purifier is a good idea anyway. This is a pretty good deal if you have a small room LEVOIT Air Purifier (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071D58ZY5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TXIIDbWFR4CJH). Or if you have a larger room, the Coway (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_R0IIDb1FMW1PV) or the large room Levoit is good (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W54K29J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GZIIDb63270W0). Just don’t use an ionizing setting or get one that emits ozone. They help a lot with the general funk and odor of a room that doesn’t have a lot of circulation. The HEPA filter takes out allergens and dust as well. Sorry about your little guy with pneumonia, it’s so frustrating when they’re sick. Good luck!

Sub 200... Let me see what I can find that will work for you.

Coway AP-1512HH Mighty amazon link -- can be had for around $170 and is very very good. I would put it near the birds (same room, etc) , as that's what you say is the biggest source in the house.

• it's a 4 stage filter
  
• it has an auto air quality detector and power saving modes
  
• wall mounted or tabletop
  
• relatively quiet, and has a quiet mode.
  
• doesn't make much ozone.

Yes, we went with their top recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG (stripped the referral link).

Here you go, try this https://www.amazon.com/Coway-AP-1512HH-Mighty-Purifier-White/dp/B01728NLRG?ref=ast_p_ep
Had a similar model for about 7 years now. It's very quiet.

Hi everyone I'll keep track here for those interested:

​

• Entry (<$100)
  
  • LEVOIT LV-H132: Seems like a good budget model, with HEPA and Activated carbon. Filters seem relatively well priced. Only drawback is some people complain about the level of noise on the high setting.
    
• Middle ($100-$300)
  
  • Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier, White: Has an ionizer which produces ozone. It can be turned on and off. However, some reviews said they could still smell the ozone.
    
  • Honeywell True HEPA Allergen Remover : u/stareatthesun442 recommends! Plus there's a $50 coupon right now on Amazon.
    
• High End ($300-$500)
  
• Dream ($500+)

I have many of the same issues and I recently got an air purifier and it's helped a lot. It hasn't fixed everything but my symptoms are greatly reduced. I leave it on all day in auto mode.

I did recently have one done. It came back that I'm severely allergic to dust and mold, as well as a few other outdoor things to varying degrees (pigweed, ragweed, sheep sorrel, bayberry, birch, maple, mulberry, sycamore, cottonwood, cat, cockroach, grass mix, grass smut, alternaria, penicillium, and mucor racemosus, plus the dust mites)

I've already done a lot of what you said, to little effect. My nose has been an ongoing issue this year. Earlier in the year I had deviated septum surgery as well as endoscopic sinus surgery to scrape everything clean. Prior to that I just got really clogged at some point, mucus was draining into my throat and lungs and I was coughing it up, etc.

After the surgery I was perfectly fine for probably about 4-5 months. I breathed fine and honestly it was incredible. Then a bit over a month ago, I went on a cruise to the Bahamas and when I got back I started getting stuffed up nose symptoms again. Returned to the doctor, they looked up there with their flashlight and said it doesn't look like a sinus infection, which led to the allergy testing.

Since then (about 2 weeks) I've done everything I've read and can think of. I've used both loratadine and Zyrtec, and honestly neither of these are lessening my symptoms whatsoever, which makes me think it might not be allergy related at all. I also think it's weird that the congestion is always on just the right side of my face, whereas the left side is completely clear, which is at least something.

I've cleaned my entire apartment from top to bottom, scrubbed the walls, gotten new pillows, I've always washed my sheets regularly. Used the vacuum to sweep my couch. Regularly replace the air filter in the ac unit, complex gives us these for free. Got a mold kit testing the air quality right now. Ive lived in this apartment for about three years now. The hot water heater broke at one point and soaked part of the carpet, but the pros all came and fans were set up under the carpet for a few days, but still I'm testing the air quality like I said.

Before my surgery when I was really suffering, I did order a pretty high end air purifier (Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xPh6BbDATAW67) and had it in here for about a week. It had settings on it that supposedly indicated whether the air quality was good, medium bad, or severe bad, and it never indicated anything but good. I ended up sending it back because I needed the money for rent that month, never re ordered cause I just figured the problem lay elsewhere.

I live in Florida now for three years, all in this apartment, after growing up in the north for 20+ years. I've also tried Flonase like my doc recommended. Breathe right strips help me breathe at night and alleviate some symptoms, as does Vicks, but once the strip comes off, everything goes to hell again.

The most recent discovery I've made is that sometimes the saline nasal spray can kind of alleviate things for a little bit, so I've been spraying a lot of that up my nose since there isn't supposed to be a limit on how much of that to use. But sometimes it doesn't do a damn thing either. Of course I've done the sinus rinsing too with the Neilmed squeeze bottle, again sometimes that's helpful and other times I feel more clogged than before.

Again, even though I've been diagnosed with these allergies, I just think it's odd none of these antihistamines are helping at all. The ENT has an allergy shots/drops program they're recommending, but I wanted to come home first after my appointment and try to clean things up before going into that. Like I said, for those first 4-5 months after surgery I was perfect, and then things took a turn for the worse for whatever reason, right around the time of that cruise, which I find suspicious, but they said it ain't infected in there and it's been 6 weeks now, so I would think if it was sickness I'd have kicked it by now.

Only other thing I can figure is all the humidity is outta the air now cause Florida season changed over, and my nose is not liking this drier weather. Nothing I used or the way I cleaned changed from when I was feeling good to now.

Sorry if that was a lot, but I appreciated your indepth response and any insight you might have. There's so many fucking variables to this thing it's maddening trying to narrow a cause or solution down

This one is top rated by Wirecutter. Would it help cut down the smell? I've never understood how these purifiers fix anything, do they just suck in the 'smell'?

Is this the one you bought? I want to make sure it turns on automatically via a HomeKit plug: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01728NLRG

I went through the same thing for weeks. The box may be clean of litter, but my super-sniffer nose can smell everything!

I finally figured out the right combo to combat the smell. I bought of of these, and set it up next to the litter box: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01728NLRG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And I switched to this litter: https://www.chewy.com/arm-hammer-litter-double-duty/dp/51973

Works like a charm! The litter box is right behind the sofa but now I can sit there and not smell a thing.

Good luck!
