Austin Air Plus - A Closer Look

Austin Air has manufactured the Healthmate for over 15 years. The simple, economical design of the unit makes it an attractive, long term value. Air is drawn through the unit with a powerful 1.5 h.p. PSC motor through 15 lbs. of activated carbon / zeolite (impregnated with potassium iodide) and 60 sq. ft. of HEPA cloth. The unit only uses 100 watts of power on its highest setting, not much more than a light bulb.

Austin Air cleaners are not made of any plastic parts. Plastics off gas and cause problems for the chemically sensitive. That's why Austin Air cleaners have all steel construction. The sturdy steel construction of every Austin Air product guarantees that your air cleaner will last for years.

Austin Air's high efficiency PSC motor draws minimal current. Even on the highest setting, it will cost only a penny an hour.

The pre-filter will capture visible dust and hair, and the exterior should be vacuumed monthly (no disassembly required).

The built-in Permafilt pre-filter then traps medium sized particles such as pollen and mold spores. The carbon / zeolite / potassium iodide mixture and medical grade HEPA cloth combine to create a filter that is almost 4 inches thick. This greatly extends the filter life. Austin guarantees this filter on a pro-rated basis for 5 years. We recommend leaving the unit on all the time, even turning it on its highest setting when you are not in the room. With constant use, we recommend changing the filter after 3 years.

2) Carbon / Zeolite (Potassium Iodide) Filter

With the additional large particle pre-filter, the Austin Healthmate provides 4 stages of air filtration that rivals that of any air purifier on the market.

  Extremely Pleased
Reviewed by: Linda  from FL

I could not be more pleased with my Austin air HealthMate + Jr or the quick delivery time. My house smells fresher and I am sleeping much better. This air purifier rocks!
  Solid product
Reviewed by: B Knight from IU Country

Product came on time and has been working well so far. Only reason not a 5 star is the 'new car' odor we have in our bedroom from a new memory foam mattress is not being removed by the filter. Probably my fault, but product had claims of odor removing filter.
  Great for the price, a real workhorse.
Reviewed by: Sensitive to allergens and chemicals. from Spokane, WA

Only had the purifier for 2 weeks - air in basement apartment feels clean and breathable fewer headaches. This is a real workhorse, but very basic functions. Don't care for the way the air blows out of the machine in one very focused direction, but perhaps it makes possible the more efficient movement of air throughout a large room. Overall very satisfied. We made a conscious economic decision to buy a more basic machine that really worked for CS and allergies, and it really seems to do the job while saving several hundred dollars on the price.

Customer Q & A

Q1: Do the hepa and carbon filters come as one unit for the health mate Plus when you order the replacement filter? And is it possible to open the carbon unit and change the carbon more often than the hepa filter by buying bulk carbon and changing it myself?

A: The HEPA/carbon is a combo filter. With Austin Air units, it's not possible to replace the carbon only. AllerAir offers this option, but with Austin, the steel end caps of the filter are glued to to the filter media in the case of the carbon, to the mesh holding the carbon.

Q2: Is this the best machine for a person with MCS and allergies? What is the lifetime of the filters? Thanks for your time and considerations.

A: The Healthmate Plus air purifier is one of the better models for those with MCS because it offers broad filtration of not only particle allergens but also gaseous and chemical pollutants. The filter life on the carbon/HEPA filter is 3-5 years. For most people they tend to replace them closer to the five year mark, but we have noticed that MCS sufferers often replace their filters somewhat sooner, depending on the severity of their condition. Other the Healthmate Plus, I would also recommend taking a look at the AllerAir AirMedic MCS. It's another well built machines with some features specifically designed for people with MCS.

Q3: Could the power supply be 220 volts ,50 hz. If yes is there any difference in price b/c I need one large areas healthmate+ for UAE, Dubai

A: Yes, Austin Air purifiers can be customized for use outside of the U.S. The cost of the unit is more, and the customer would be responsible for all shipping costs. Call for details.

Austin Air Reviews

Austin Air Healthmate Plus Air Purifier

The Austin Healthmate Plus averted a family crisis. My husband smokes cigars "outside only" and test the motors of several types of lawn equipment and marine vehicles in this same area. Though "outside", the fumes and dust from these activities are drafted into the house when doors are opened and closed.

We decided to try an air purifier in the ground level room nearest the problem area. The Austin Healthmate Plus seemed like a good choice since we were dealing with more than just particles, allergens or smoke. The Healthmate 400 was recommended for the room size we were in, and the filter type would trap not only allergens and particle pollutants but also odors, chemicals, and smoke. I also liked that black was a color choice and this unit has wheels for easy movement around the room.

We turn the machine to high whenever needed, and I do not smell the offensive odors when I walk in the door upstairs. This product handled a tough situation very well so I feel good about its effectiveness in less trying conditions.

What I like about the Austin Air Healthmate Plus
  • Sturdy construction, the all steel housing is rugged and won't break or off-gas like plastic.
  • The Superblend filter is capable of reducing a broad range of particulates, gases, smoke and chemicals from the air. Two prefilters trap large particles like lint and pet hair while 60 sq. ft. of medical grade HEPA filter media scrubs out submicron particles and allergens. And 15 lbs. of a carbon / zeolite / potassium idodide blend complete this four stage filtration by eliminating chemicals like ammonia and formaldehyde as well as smoke and odors.
  • Easy maintenance. Filters last literally years longer than other popular air purifiers and the separate prefilter needs to be replace only once per year. Aside from this, simply vacuum the outside area of the unit and let the Healthmate Plus do all the work.
  • Long filter life. Most of the air purifiers you find on the market today generally call for a filter replacement every 3 - 6 months. The Superblend filter in the Austin Plus averages about 4 years of life before it needs to be replaced, substantially reducing your maintenance costs.
  • 5 year manufacturer warranty on the air purifier itself and a pro-rated 5 year warranty on the filter.

What I didn't like the Austin Air Healthmate Plus

  • The machine is loud on high. Not a problem for this application but could be in some situations. In reality, the decibal level for most air purifiers, on their respective highest settings, is rather loud. The noise the Austin makes is similar to most and generally not as loud as a box fan on high.
  • No automated indicator for filter replacement. All Austin air purifiers sold by AchooAllergy.com come with a filter replacement sticker which can be applied anywhere on the air purifier. On it is the date of purchase and the interval at which the filters should be replaced.

In summary, I give the Austin Healthmate Plus 5 stars. It performs very well in a very difficult situations. Regardless of the contaminants the Healthmate Plus is capable of filtering them and providing fresh, clean air. The overall cost to maintain combined with a reasonable initial cost makes Austin air purifiers some of the most popular available today. Austin Air has a long tradition of excellence, and the Healthmate is just one example of a durable, quality product without the expense of gimmicks or gadgets.

The Healthmate Plus Jr. is the essentially the same great product as the standard Healthmate Plus, simply in a smaller package. The size is smaller though the air cleaning capacity is ideal for most bedrooms and living spaces. Though the quantities of filter media are less, the engineering behind it and filtration quality are the same. With a lower price point, the Healthmate Plus Jr. has long been a trusted alternative as an air purifier from smaller areas.
