Reports by Experts and Customers - Austin Air Healthmate Plus and Healthmate Plus Jr. Air Purifiers
Expert Review:

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:
Special Superblend carbon for superior chemical & gas absorption make this unit a great choice for the chemically sensitive or those with highly polluted indoor environments
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 Plus 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 Plus 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.
Summary:
The special feature of the Austin Healthmate Plus series is the Superblend carbon. Austin developed a combination of proprietary impregnated carbons for the Healthmate Plus air purifiers. These impregnated carbons remove a variety of chemicals that regular activated carbon can not. The Superblend of carbon was specifically designed for people with chemical sensitivities.

This unit offers excellent HEPA filtration of irritating particles and allergens along with its superior chemical, gas and odor removal. They also require very little maintenance and have low costs replacement filters. The pre-filters are designed to be vacuumed from the outside and the HEPA and carbon filters only need to be replaced every 3-5 years depending on use. They also come with a 5-year warranty that includes the filter too, which is rare.
