I use 4 Coway AP1512HH at home - one in each bedroom and one in the living room. The living room can probably use a bigger unit, but it's perfect for the bedroom. The oldest unit I had was bought in 2018, and the newest in 2021. So I've been using them for 5-8 years now, no problem at all with all o
