Reports by Experts and Customers - Austin Air Healthmate and Healthmate Jr. Air Purifiers
Expert Review:
Courtesy of AllergyBuyersClub.com
We wish Austin Air had submitted their units to AHAM to back up their claims around specifications. However, the listed specifications of this filter are excellent. Remember that if you want the fan on low to control noise, the air exchange rate is proportionately smaller.
Pluses:
Great economy buy offering high efficiency air filtration with low maintenance and costs for under $500
Low Maintenance: pre-filter can be vacuumed from outside the unit as needed and the filter only needs to be changed every 3-5 years
Long lasting HEPA and carbon/zeolite filter: the filter can lasts up to 5 years before it needs replacement; supported by a 5 year prorated guarantee under normal residential use
Energy cost efficient: economical to run with a low watt power consumption at highest setting - same amount of energy it takes to run an 80-100 watt light bulb
Durable exterior: casing materials are of superior steel construction with a baked-on powder coat finish
Simple design: is not flashy or obtrusive and is an easy fit with most decors; available in four basic color choices: sandstone, white, black or silver
Austin Air purifiers have all been UL, CSA and CE approved
Minuses:
Not one of our most quiet air purifiers – 50 decibels on low is not the best for sleepers who like silence
Does not have a filter change indicator so you have to keep track of how long the filters have been in use.
The HealthMate standard is 45 lbs. and is "portable" in the sense it has wheels, but you would not want to carry this unit up and down stairs
The HealthMate Jr. does not include casters, but it is lighter at 18 lbs. and therefore easier to move than the standard HealthMate; Casters for the Jr. are sold separately
