Austin Air Bedroom Machine HEPA HM402 Air Purifier

Product Review (submitted on April 9, 2015):

I bought a house in November 2010 and have been struggling with allergies and infections ever since I bought it. I suspected that 30 years of dust and other allergens were in the ducts so I had them professionally clean. That worked a little but not 100%. So, I researched and came across the Austin Air Bedroom Purifier. I originally tried the IQAir but I didn't think it did much so I returned it. After a few days of the Austin Air running in my bedroom my allergies seemed to be a bit better. I wasn't as congested in the AM plus i felt I was sleeping better. I still don't believe this is a miracle machine BUT I am still semi-remodeling my house so VOC's and dust are floating around. I do believe that once all that is complete that this machine will start to shine. In fact, I am planning to buy a few more for various rooms in the house. As far as the machine itself, it's very solid. Heavy but thankfully the coasters help get it around easily. I will say that it's not the most attractive machine but it serves it's purpose. I ended up buying the Sandstone color. The noise is a bit much on High/Medium. On low, the machine is perfect for white noise throughout the house. On medium it blocks out most sounds which is a bit concerning to me because there have been several big storms that have moved through our area and I slept right through them. While that sounds nice I live in Texas and straight line winds or tornados are a concern. On high, you can clearly hearing it running in the house from several rooms away. I occasionally will leave it on High while I'm at work just to help clean and circulate the air. While I sleep I keep the machine on low and it's just perfect. Overall I give the machine a great rating! I can't wait to see what happens when I finish up the remodel in my house and let the machine finally get to work with an unobstructed space.
