HEPA filter emits terrible smell

The HEPA filter in this refill smells terrible which does not inspire much confidence in the quality of the air coming out of the air purifier. This problem did not exist with the native filter. If possible I will look for a replacement.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

Not sure if this is genuine

I bought this product thinking it was a genuine replacement filter kit for my Cowan air purifier. The packaging looks nice and the HEPA filter fits perfectly, but the odor filter (charcoal mesh) isn't square at all and sticks out when I try to put it in the holder. I expect a perfect fit for the price I paid.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Secret

Terrible smell for air purifier parts and accessories

I don't know if this product is legit. The air purifier came with a filter and it didn't smell. This replacement filter smells awful, an overwhelming chemical smell. I tried to air, I tried to walk for several days, nothing changed. It's overwhelming. I'm assuming it's fake even though the packaging looked real. Unfortunately I threw away the packaging and can no longer send it back.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Other Other

Absolutely unpleasant smell from replaceable filters

Disgusting. I feel sick after running this filter for 10 minutes. I don't know what kind of chemical this filter releases, but it's TERRIBLE. The original filter was excellent, there were no such problems. I came to write a review and found that other reviews mentioned the same thing - apparently this isn't a new issue and hasn't been resolved yet! This is unacceptable. I specifically paid twice as much as unbranded filters to buy direct from Coway to avoid this type of problem. Please save…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Quality

New filters with terrible smell

This is the second time I've bought replacement filters for my Covey. Everything was fine the first time, but this batch has a strong odor that makes me sick. First, there were glue stains on the edges of the hepa that still felt tacky. Second, the charcoal filter was too big to fit in the frame. It was too big both in width and height, I had to cut it. I'll leave the cleaner running for a few more hours but if the smell is still there I'll send it back. I'm not sure what I'm going to use…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Null

Severe loss of quality over the years. I don't trust Coway anymore.

I have had an AP-1512HH air purifier since 2017 and I am generally satisfied with it. However, when I recently changed the HEPA filter, I noticed a strong chemical odor that didn't go away even after hours of use (I had to put it in an unused room as the smell was strong enough to bother anyone who touched it approached it). ). After sending the filter back and getting a replacement, I found that the replacement had the exact same problem. Reading other Revain reviews I see this as a trend…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Toxic fumes - do not buy

This filter emits toxic levels of chemicals and you can see it in the photos above. I don't know if it's glue or if the entire filter was dipped in some kind of organic chemical, but the VOCs it emits register as "unsafe" on an air quality monitor I own. See photos above. I put in a new filter, noticed the horrible smell that others had mentioned, and checked the air coming out of the filter with my air quality meter (bought to monitor California's smoky air from annual fall wildfires). Just to

Pros
  • nice item

  • I don't remember but there was something

Chemical odor in filters and what I've done about it

Like many other people who have written reviews about the chemical odor problem. Here's what happened to me and what happened after I spoke to the manufacturer. 1) I bought a replacement filter from Revain and like many others it had a strong chemical odor 2) After emailing Coway support I told them about the problem and they said the filters were a bit exposed (without giving specifics on what and how) but they didn't think it was poisonous and that Revain knows about it so I have to ask for a

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
