Austin Air Healthmate Air Purifiers |
Based on proven, reliable HEPA technology, the 360° progressive air intake of the Austin Air Healthmate HM-400 air filter cleans
over 250 cubic feet of air every minute, using a pre-filter for large particles, a built-in pre-filter for medium particles, 15 pounds of activated
carbon/zeolite, and 60 feet of true medical-grade HEPA filter media. The Austin Air Healthmate air purifier offers the best deal for those with moderate allergies
who are looking for a reliable and low maintenance air purifier that delivers first rate air filtration. For smaller areas the Healthmate Jr.
is an ideal choice that offers the same great air filtration but covers
a smaller area. *NOTE: The large particle pre-filter for ALL Austin air purifiers is the same. Just choose the correct size
(400 or 200) and color (black or white).

Austin Air Healthmate - A Closer Look |
 |
Austin Air Healthmate Fan and Motor Assembly
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 and zeolite 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. |
|
 |
Cutaway of Austin Air's Construction and Engineering
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. |

Austin Air Healthmate Filter Assembly
The prefilter will capture visible dust and hair, and
the exterior should be vacuumed monthly(no disassembly required).
The built-in Permafilt prefilter then traps medium sized
particles such as pollen and mold spores. The carbon / zeolite mixture and a 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. |
|
 |
Austin Air Healthmate 3-Stage Filter
1) Permafilt Prefilter
2) Carbon / Zeolite Filter
3) Surgical HEPA Cloth
With the additional large particle prefilter, the Austin Healthmate provides 4 stages of air filtration that rivals that of any
air purifier on the market. |

  Wow, it even helps with snoring hubbys!
Reviewed by: Allergy and Asthma Sufferer from Indiana
I purchased the air purifier a month ago. It does a great job making the air fresher, which is nice if you're like me and you have asthma and allergies, your 9 month old has asthma, and your 3 year old's allergies are so bad she had to have her adenoids and tonsils removed at 2 years old. I definitely notice a difference when I run this in my bedroom at night. The baby sleeps better, and it's even helped my husband to stop snoring so loud. When I put it in my daughter's room is also helps with her snoring I know---poor thing. That fact alone is worth the $400 dollars, but the machine is so much more than that. We live in a home that's 100 years old, so dust is a huge problem. We also have three cats did I mention I'm allergic to cats? With this machine, you just turn it on and go about your day not having to worry about your allergies or your kid’s allergies as much. And, since my husband's no longer snoring soooo loud, I can get a good night’s sleep. The only drawback is the noise when it's on high, but the other settings are fine and just as helpful. In fact, I think the “white noise” affect helps everyone sleep better.

Worked wonders for my son's allergies.
Reviewed by: Cat Allergy Boy from New Jersey
My son was suffering bad allergy induced asthma from our new cat, and we purchased this in hopes of not having to get rid of the cat. Also hoping my son would eventually adapt. Well after about a week with the unit on, all his allergy symptoms have gone. He still gets puffy eyes if he is petting the cat, but other than that, allergy free. I cannot say 100% it was because of the Healthmate, but I will not turn it off... no need. I love the unit, and would highly recommend it to allergy sufferers. My only complaint is the noise level on 'high'.

Great Service and Product
Reviewed by: Suffering no longer from Ohio
I ordered my air purifier and it came very quickly. The unit works very well. Also, I wanted a purifier that was a bit louder. When I turn this unit to the second setting it is the perfect white noise to help get me to sleep.

Austin Air Healthmate
As Austin Air’s flagship air purifier, the Austin Healthmate 400
offers a balance of performance and affordability. While providing
few frills, Austin air purifiers deliver solid results for customers seeking
quality filtration coupled with ease of use. As one of the most
popular units on the market, there is much to like about the
Healthmate and few drawbacks.
NOTE: This review covers the Austin Healthmate, but all points
listed about this unit is applicable to the Austin Healthmate Jr. as
well. The two primary differences between the units are the size and
coverage area. The Jr. is smaller in size and capacity thus suitable
for smaller rooms. Due to the smaller, lighter size the Jr.
does not come equipped with casters. They are an optional accessory.
What I like about the Austin Healthmate
The HEPA filter in this unit has a 3-5 year lifespan. When comparing
this to the cost of the filter, regular maintenance is inexpensive.
The Healthmate has two pre-filters around the HEPA/Carbon canister to trap
large and medium sized particles such as hair & lint. Periodically vacuuming the large
particle pre-filter will extend the overall life of the filter.
Regardless of the setting the Healthmate provides consistent
filtration results. Pushing 400 CFM of air at high speed, the Austin
could adequately exchange the air in room roughly three times larger
than for what it is actually rated.
Austin units are constructed entirely of steel. This makes
off-gassing virtually nonexistent. In addition to this, the Healthmate produces no harmful ozone.
Austin’s filtration systems are all sealed systems with thick gaskets around each end of the filter. There is no air leakage or unfiltered air mixing with purified air.
All of the Austin units offer 360° air intake to maximize air flow.
Clean air is discharged through one vent at the top of the unit,
which can be very useful for allergy and asthma sufferers who need concentrated, purified air immediately.
The Healthmate is very low maintenance. The carbon pre-filter is changed once a year as opposed to every 3-6 months
for other popular brands. The HEPA / Carbon / Zeolite filter change is required only every 3-5 years. Aside from
occasionally vacuuming the built-in pre-filter, there is nothing more that needs to be done to an Austin unit aside
from plugging it in, turning it on and enjoying fresh, clean air. Changing the filter is simply as well.
Remove four screws from the bottom plate, remove plate and simply replace the filter and separate pre-filter.
As with all Austin air purifiers, the Healthmate is available in five colors,
Sandstone, Black, Midnight Blue, White and Silver. This gives you some options when it comes to matching an
air purifier with the décor of a room. The Healthmate Jr. series
additionally offers Pink and Baby Blue which are perfect for any nursery.
Austin Air is a U.S. company. Their air purifiers are not made overseas with cheap labor. Austin Air
is based here in the U.S., using an American workforce, proudly creating quality products in a way that helps drive our
economy.
Lastly, Austin has been making air purifiers for nearly as long as
anyone else in business, with few exceptions. The company has an
excellent reputation for providing reliable, quality machines at
reasonable prices. Over the years, customer feedback has been
overwhelmingly positive, and informed customers who know what to
expect before purchasing these units rarely have reason to complain.
What I did not like about the Austin Healthmate
There are a few things to keep in mind when considering the Austin.
Though Austin air purifiers can be considered an “economy” air purifier, you can
easily pay twice as much for a unit that will give you only
marginally better results. The Healthmate offers few gadgets or
embellishments. With Austin, it is less gadgetry in
exchange for more ease and carefree use.
These units can be heavy. Because of the steel construction and
heavy duty filters, the units are not the easiest to move. The 400
series have casters, and while this makes them easier to move they are not really
considered "portable". (The 200 series lacks the casters, but is not nearly as heavy.)
When it comes to air purifiers, the Austin Healthmate provides the
most bang for your buck. There is nothing on the market that can
offer this quality of filtration and durability in this price range. While it lacks
many of the additional features of other air purifiers, it makes up
for it in a reasonable initial cost, low maintenance costs and top notch performance. There is a
reason why Austin has been in business for as long as it has,
quality products at an affordable price. So for anyone looking for
an easy to use, easy to maintain air purifying workhorse, the Austin
Healthmate is the best choice that won’t break the bank.
