Quick verdict
The Wi-Fi version of the perennially top-rated Coway Mighty, adding app control and HA visibility through the community IoCare integration. Not local: the community IoCare integration polls Coway's cloud. It leans on the manufacturer cloud, so it's here mainly as a fallback when local options run short.

you want fully local control with no cloud account
Privacy and local-control notes
Not local: the community IoCare integration polls Coway's cloud, so control and status route through Coway's servers. It earns a place here because the underlying AP-1512HH is a benchmark purifier and at least has community HA control.
Home Assistant support: supported · integration path: home-assistant-iocare (HACS).
