This is, in our opinion, one of the best midrange home and office air purifiers on the market today. It is an indispensible item in your home or office if you suffer from allergies, perfume or odor sensitivities, or chemical sensitivities. Why? Here are some of our top reasons:

  • It very effectively removes allergy-causing particles such as pollen, dust mites, and dander as well as over 3000 toxic gases and odors from the air.
  • It has a directional air outlet that allows you to direct clean purified air where you need it most.
  • It runs very quietly. On low speed it is so quiet you can easily sleep with it in your bedroom.
  • It is made almost entirely out of steel, minimizing the amount of off-gassing produced by the unit itself.
  • It is designed to run continously for years.

Look at this cutaway diagram of the replaceable filter media inside. The HealthMate filter contains a 60 sq. ft. HEPA filter to filter out 99.97% of air borne particles larger than 0.3 microns. In addition to this, it has 15 lbs. of a carbon zeolite mix that filters out over 3,000 toxic gases and odors. No other personal air filter comes close to this level of performance. Furthermore, this filter has a pro-rated 5 year warranty. The filter media is expected to last at least 5 years and, if it doesn't, Austin Air will refund you a pro-rated portion of the cost of the filter.*

Unlike many other air filters that vent in all directions, the HealthMate has one concentrated air outlet. By positioning the unit in the right place (an easy process since it has built-in casters), you can direct the airflow right where you want it, creating a pocket of purified air right where you are sitting or sleeping. This dramatically increases the effectiveness of the filter since you can breathe clean air within seconds without waiting for the entire room to be filtered.

An air filter is useless if it is turned off. The HealthMate is so quiet you won't mind having it on all the time even when you are sleeping. Its three speed settings let you find the perfect balance between sound and airflow. Use high to quickly clear the area of new odors or pollutants, medium for normal use, and low when you want minimal sound. Since it is designed to run continously for years, you can leave it on around the clock.

The HealthMate requires very little maintenance. We suggest vacuuming the outer surface of the unit monthly and washing the pre-filter once a year.

The HealthMate comes in 3 colors to coordinate with your home decor. Sandstone, an offwhite slightly textured finish that coordinates with most interiors, is the most popular. White is popular in more sterile environments, and black coordinates well with high-tech or darker interiors.

One complete set of filters included.

Height: 23"; Width: 14.5" x 14.5"; Weight 45 lbs.

Filters up to 1500 sq. ft. efficiently

* The filter is not guaranteed if it has been subjected to chemicals not normally found in households. This includes tobacco smoke and fumes from fresh painting, etc

President's Review


The Austin Air HealthMate is effective and easy to maintain.

I have personally used two Austin Air HealthMates and one Austin Air HealthMate Jr. for over five years now, running them almost continously the entire time. I have one in my bedroom, one in my office, and one in my living-room. They have allowed me to tolerate meetings with people wearing perfume as well as to clear areas with odors that I cannot tolerate. I recently tested my five year old office HealthMate next to a brand new unit and was amazed that it was running just as quietly as the brand new one. I have not done a filter change in the entire five years and it is still removing odors effectively.

UPDATE - Air Purifier in My Personal Story

02/01/2007 - by David - CEO/President AlerG, Inc from AlerG Inc, Costa Mesa, California

****** AlerG Staff Review ******
UPDATE - my scent/smog sensitivities have worsened probably because I'm getting older. I still use this unit in my living room and office but in my bedroom I have switched to the Healthmate Plus, 2 IQAIR GCs and a BlueAir 501 with smokestop filter. I was concerned I might react to the filter material in the Healthmate Plus but it works for me!

Note: I usually have to offgass any type of AustinAir Purifier for over 2 weeks 24/7 at high before I can tolerate them. But this is not an universal issue. I have talked to several customers who can use them out of the box and get instant relief. BTW, also note that I use all my air purifiers near the lowest speed to minimize sound ... that together with a large bedroom is why I need so many units.

David

Note: This review was written for the sandstone unit, but this air purifier is identical except for the color.
