Coway AP-1012GH Smart Air Purifier with HEPA Filter

Cleans Amazing Well and Looks Very Sleek! A Bargain!


4 stars for product, extra star for customer service.
I received the Coway AP-1012GH Smart Air Purifier with HEPA Filter and followed the set up instructions.
First remove the front cover, remove the plastic wrap from the odor filter and the Hepa filter and placed them back in the unit, put the pre-filter on top and replaced the front cover.

I then turned the unit on by pressing the Power button. The device has a large blue indicator light in the shape of a circle. The color changes from Blue (clean), Dark Purple (polluted), and Red (highly polluted) as a sign of air quality. I has 4 settings A, 1, 2, and 3. A is automatic, it monitors the air quality and adjusts the fan speed as needed. 1, 2, and 3 settings are basically hi, med, and low fan speeds that run constantly at whatever speed number is selected. It also has a timer that you can set so the device will run for 1hr, 4 hrs, or 8 hrs and then shut itself off. Very simple to set up and operate.

I was using the device on Auto mode and it was working fine,...

Don't buy an Oreck AirInstinct 200..Buy this instead! (same thing, half the price)
So as a satisfied owner of a Oreck AirInstinct 200 I was looking for a second air purifier as I was very satisfied with the Oreck's performance in my bedroom (20'x15'). My wife and I have sever allergies and were looking to buy a second purifier to enhance the filtering in our bedroom (where we spend most our time). The Oreck 200 runs about $499 retail and $349 on amazon. I actually got mine on Ebay new for $225 so it was a pretty good deal.

I starting researching other air purifiers to keep my options open but most likely was going to settle on another Oreck. BUT, I came across a company called COWAY..It seems they are centrally located outside of the USA but had very similar looking auto air purifiers. After reading all there very similar literature to Oreck I decided to try this Coway AP-1012GH as it looked very similar to the Oreck. For $189 it was worth it to me. They obviously make their products in the same manufacturing facilities as Oreck.

It arrived...
