Austin Air Allergy Machine HEGA Air Purifiers- HM405 & HM205

Product Review (submitted on April 9, 2015):

I purchased this air purifier to replace several smaller units on the main floor of my home. The air quality in my home was pretty good before but this unit has made a remarkable difference. The unit is in my living room/dining room area which is a 525 square-foot area and has no trouble keeping up on the middle speed. The unit is a bit loud on the high setting, but if I feel the need for extra air cleaning power I can run it on high while I'm at work and switch it back to a lower speed when I get home. I had hoped that this unit would improve the air throughout my first floor, not just in the room where it resides. It absolutely has done that. I have four cats and a dog, but you don't smell them when you walk in my house. My father, who is very allergic to cats, has no problem visiting my house now. He can be there for hours and not get sick. If you're reluctant to spend so much money on an air purifier, I would encourage you to give this a try. Instead of running three different air cleaners on my main floor, I now only have to run this one unit. Replacing filters every three months in three separate units is not cheap! I have no idea if the filter in this unit will last 5 years or if it will need to be replaced after 3 as some people do. Either way, I'll have recouped the money I spent on this unit by then due to lower maintenance and electrical costs. Plus, my air is cleaner. It's a win-win situation.
