Score: 72/100Rankings
The Coway AP-1512HH-FP Fresh Starter is a genuine OEM replacement filter pack designed for Coway Airmega AP-1512HH and 200M air purifiers, offering comprehensive maintenance with one True HEPA and two carbon filters. It provides excellent filtration efficiency and odor removal but requires more frequent carbon filter replacements. Ideal for medium-sized rooms up to 1,748 square feet.
The Alen TF60 HEPA Pure is a genuine OEM replacement filter for the Alen T500 air purifier, offering medical-grade H13 HEPA filtration for allergen removal. The main limitation is the absence of activated carbon for odor control and the non-washable nature of the filter. It is best suited for allergy and asthma sufferers who prioritize particle capture over odor elimination.
