I put this in a bedroom in early 2022 and never found a reason to replace it. That is most of the review, honestly: a small purifier that has quietly done its job for years.
The CADR is strong for the footprint, so it clears a normal bedroom without taking up much space or making much noise. Filters have stayed cheap, and the third-party ones I have used hold up, so the running cost never crept the way it does with some sealed-cartridge systems.
What still annoys me
One thing, and it is small: the indicator light comes back on after any power loss. You disable it in settings, the power blips, and it is back. I notice it now and then and turn it off again. That is the extent of my complaints after four years.
What I like
- Strong CADR for the size
- Small footprint that fits a bedroom or desk
- Cheap filters, and third-party ones work fine
What annoys me
- The indicator light re-enables itself after any power loss (you disable it again)
Update log
Four-plus years in. Filters cheap, third-party ones fine, verdict unchanged.

Frequently asked questions
Can you turn off the light on the Coway AP-1512HH?
Yes, in settings - but it re-enables itself after any power loss, so you may end up doing it more than once.
Do third-party filters work?
They have for me, which keeps the running cost down on top of already-cheap official filters.
What size room is it for?
A bedroom or similar small room. Mine has lived in one since 2022.
