Review on Coway Airmega AP-1216L True HEPA Purifier: Air Quality Monitoring, Auto 🌬️ Mode, Timer, Filter Indicator - White, 10.5 Γ— 32.7 Γ— 10.7 inch by Tim Hollinger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not available to blind users

Ordered to fight all the smoke from a campfire here in California. Although this product works as advertised, it is completely out of reach for the blind. The entire device is controlled via a smooth touchscreen with no tactile feedback, buttons or anything else on the device to get it up and running without sighted help. This is very frustrating as the flat view-only interface is not mentioned at all in the product description and is the definition of exclusive design, making it impossible for blind and partially sighted people to use this device alone. My small space Hamilton-Beach True Air filter only has a physical dial that works great and I wish this Coway tower had physical knobs so I could use it unaided. I don't care how "cool" the UI looks, I just needed a cleaner with the power, quietness, and versatility to clean more space, and I was extremely disappointed in the lack of availability from the Coway designers. Shame on you.
