Score: 88/100
Dyson Pure Cool Link TP02
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Coway Airmega AP-1512HH is a top-tier True HEPA air purifier for small-to-medium rooms up to 361 square feet, featuring intelligent auto modes and real-time air quality sensing. Its main trade-off is the lack of smart connectivity and potential ozone sensitivity from the ionizer. It is best suited for allergy sufferers and pet owners who prioritize automated air quality management and quiet operation.
The Dyson Pure Cool Link TP02 is a WiFi-enabled tower purifier fan that merges Air Multiplier bladeless cooling with advanced air purification. It features a sealed 360° Glass HEPA filter and activated carbon to capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, while real-time sensors and app connectivity enable automated air quality management. While it offers strong smart features and safe cooling, its modest CADR rating and basic interface limit its appeal for large spaces or users seeking detailed metrics.

Professional reviewers consistently praise the TP02 for its innovative dual-function design that seamlessly combines bladeless cooling with genuine HEPA filtration and responsive smart sensors. Experts highlight its strong real-world particle removal capabilities and reliable app integration, though they frequently note limitations regarding its modest 70 CFM CADR rating and basic digital interface compared to newer iterations.
Everyday users overwhelmingly appreciate the unit's quiet operation during sleep hours and its ability to alleviate allergy symptoms in personal spaces like bedrooms and home offices. While many value the convenience of remote app control and scheduling, recurring complaints frequently center on intermittent connectivity drops and the financial burden of annual filter replacements.
