Austin Healthmate Jr Air Purifier Sandstone
>> Efficient HEPA Air Filter though somewhat noisy on high
This is a no frills HEPA air filter in terms of its aesthetic it s an efficiently designed rectangle and though it s not snazzy on the outside it s not offensive or obtrusive either

It sits in my home office and does its thing quite well cleansing the air and overall improving the living conditions in a space in which I spend entirely too much time

I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done I noticed an improvement in the way I was feeling shortly after the unit was put into operation

The unit though not cheap is a particularly reliable model and is extremely cost effective to operate over time As any one who has done the research can tell you the true expense with HEPA filters is not necessarily the up front purchase cost but the cost of replacement filters over the course of the years Austin s design is one they stand behind with a 5 year warranty and a filter rated at needing replacement once every 5 years yes you read that right All you need do in order to achieve this longevity is to vacuum the pre filter every few months This is accomplished by running a bristled vacuum wand over the outer surface grating It s simple It really is set a reminder in your calendar to run the vacuum over it and you re safe

The unit doesn t take up a lot of room though it does produce a fair bit of sound in 2 of its 3 settings The base setting is actually pretty quiet but the middle and upper settings are noisy the trade off is that at these settings it moves A LOT of air which is what you want if you re trying to quick cleanse a room To give you an idea of what I m trying to say while you likely wouldn t have a hard time sleeping with setting 1 you might with setting 2 and you DEFINITELY would with setting 3 Of course everyone s mileage varies and I m using words to describe an audible volume which is not the same as hearing it yourself As I said earlier it s in my office not my bedroom so I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with its performance

If you re looking for a bedroom model you might look into an Alen A350 HEPA Air Purifier wall mountable and quieter
>> Air purifier
This purifier Austin Healthmate Jr seems to be a very good purchase for the money Although it is not cheap we are using it in a loft and it seems to be doing a great job with the air not only in the loft but also in the living room which is below the open air loft
>> Stylish and works great
I got the Austin Air Healthmate Junior air purifier when I moved into my new house The previous owner was a smoker Although I d replaced the carpets painted the walls and cleaned the ducts I still needed something to help cut down the residual smoke smell After extensive research I chose the Healthmate Junior

It did the job It s nice and quiet on the low setting On the high setting it s a bit noisier but I just set it in a corner and it s fine Not right up against the wall though because you have to leave a few inches of space around it for it to work right I left it running for over a year The smoke smell is gone from the house now Even my mother with her super sensitive nose can t smell anything when she comes to visit

I did buy a new filter after about nine or ten months The air coming out of the Healthmake Junior started to smell a bit acrid I called Austin Air and asked about it because I thought the filter should last longer They said it depends on the quality of your air That makes sense They gave me a discount on the new filter because it had been such a short time

I m quite pleased with it It looks nice it s relatively light it s simple to use it s quiet and it works
