How about COWAY air purifier brand introduction

Founded in 1989, Coway is the No. 1 brand of environmental appliances in South Korea, with a high market recognition in South Korea, COWAY has always maintained a leading position in the water purification, air purification and bathroom market in South Korea, and its air purifier products have a market share of up to 38% in South Korea. COWAY's products have been recognized by many international organizations, including the American Home Appliance Manufacturers Association (AHAM) certification, the British Allergy Association, etc.
 
COWAY has entered the Chinese market since 2006, focusing on mid-to-high-end products, and has a deeper understanding of the needs of Chinese consumers over the years. Coway's air purifiers are equipped with H12 or H13 filters and use South Korean SPG's motor solution, which is satisfactorily anti-smog and has a maximum noise level of only 61dB(A). The mid-range model represented by AP-2015F (S/G), the CADR values of particulate matter and formaldehyde are 600 and 300 respectively, and the design of double-sided air inlet can accommodate two sets of filter elements, improve the pollutant capacity of the product, and easily reach the highest P4 and F4 levels of the national standard, but the specific value of CCM has not been announced, according to consumer feedback on the Internet, it is recommended to replace the filter element once every 3-6 months.
 
AP-3008FH is Coway's high-end flagship, and the AP-3008FH(G) model is derived according to the needs of different users. AP-3008FH is positioned by Coway for large spaces, with a CADR value of up to 800 and a maximum applicable area of nearly 100 square meters, the HEPA filter is coated with a layer of ginkgo biloba and salt skin wood extract mixture, according to the Animal Influenza Laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture, the killing rate of the filter and H1N1 influenza virus suspension for 1 hour is more than 97%, but it must be pointed out that 97% is the data under ideal conditions in the laboratory, for air purifiers, The contact time between the air flow and the antimicrobial layer is extremely short, and the machine needs to work for a long time to achieve the desired killing effect.
 
The AP-3008FH (G) is based on the AP-3008FH to replace the anti-virus filter with an enhanced formaldehyde removal filter, although it has lost the function of killing the H1N1 influenza virus, the formaldehyde CADR value has increased from 126 to 400, which is more suitable for the newly renovated indoor environment.
 
The AP-3008FH and its accessory models are one of the few products in Coway that use a 5-layer independent filter, and each filter layer performs its own role to exert the ideal purification efficiency. However, CoWay seems to lack humanized consideration in the service life of the filter layer, according to user feedback, the service life of these 5 filter layers is quite different, and Coway does not have an independent replacement reminder function for different filter screens, resulting in users often forgetting to replace a certain filter, and later maintenance is more troublesome.
 
It is the same Korean brand as Samsung, COWAY also pays special attention to the appearance design of air purifiers, and appearance has always been a plus point for COYWAY, IF, Reddot, IDEA in the United States, and Good Design in Japan, the grand slam of the world's four major design awards, is the best proof. COWAY's AP-2015F adopts a pure white shell, the base is a foot shape, full of simple style and a sense of stability at the same time, the edge transition is rounded but tough, and can be integrated with a variety of interior decoration styles, but the universal wheel is absent, which will cause some inconvenience when moving daily.
 
Coway's built-in infrared sensor is one of its major slots, the principle of infrared detection determines that the result error is large, and it is easy to mistake the small water droplets in the air for particle pollutants, resulting in rainy days with good air, it will also switch to strong mode for purification, Coway's high-end models have been changed to use laser sensors to solve this defect. In addition, all Coway products are not equipped with air quality digital displays, which is also a big pity.
