Save almost $100 on clean air this Black Friday with the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH, down to $133.13 at Amazon for the sleek black model. This air purifier is top of the range, with a 4.7/5 star rating from almost 20,000 users who love its quiet, functional design and high tech features. In fact, our own testers rated it as one of the best air purifiers they’ve used.
Whichever room you decide to put the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH in, it will excel. Capable of clearing 99.99% of 0.01-micron airborne pollutants out of your indoor air, this nifty little piece of tech is suitable for those with allergies and asthma. The Airmega will function at its best in a room up to 361 sq. ft, clearing dust mites, pet dander, pollen and other allergens with ease.
The carbon filter effectively removes household odors like smoke, pet smells and cooking smells. The pre-filter captures large particles and serves to extend the life of the true HEPA filter, which captures the smallest pollutants. There is also an ionizer, which generates an electrochemical reaction that reduces particles in the air. It is whisper quiet, producing only 24 dB of sound when running, making it suitable for a bedroom or even a nursery.
If the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH isn't for you, the Levoit Core 400 (another favorite with the Live Science team) is reduced by $33 on Amazon for Black Friday and the Dyson Cool Autoreact TP7A is down by $150 dollars at Best Buy.

So, aside from the great savings, why should you buy the Coway Air Mega AP-1512HH this Black Friday? For starters, multiple filtration technologies mean that this air purifier stands head and shoulders above the rest. The High Efficiency Particulate Absorbing (HEPA) filter is top of the range and captures 99.99% of particles down to 0.01-microns in size. This is great if you want to get rid of common allergens such as pet dander, pollen and dust mite waste, which are all over 5 microns in size.
As well as the HEPA technology, this air purifier has odor control technology, with a carbon filter, perfect for getting rid of cooking smells, pet odors or the smell of smoke. You can control your AP-1512HH's fan manually with low, medium, and high settings.
The smart sensors gauge the quality of the air and the Auto Mode responds and adjusts the fan to filter the air as needed. When the air quality in the room remains purified for 30 minutes or more in Eco Mode, the fan will turn off to conserve energy, kicking on again when pollution is detected. The pollution sensor communicates indoor air quality in real-time with a brightly colored LED light that lets you know how clean or dirty your indoor air is every minute of the day. You can turn off the light for sleeping.
It is designed to clean spaces up to 361 sq. ft. in 12.5 minutes or up to 874 sq. ft. in 30 minutes.
