Product Overview

The highly efficient Austin Air Allergy Machine was created for allergy- and asthma-sufferers who struggle to find relief from their symptoms, especially during the nighttime hours. Using High Efficiency Gas Absorption (HEGA) and High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration, this unit removes particulates and gaseous contaminants from the air quickly, before they can trigger an allergy or asthma attack. The HEGA Allergy Machine:

  • Is designed to relieve common allergy and asthma symptoms.
  • Covers an area sized up to 1,500 sq. ft.
  • Filters out airborne allergens such as dust, pollen, and mold spores as well as asthma-triggering irritants like chemicals, gases, and odors.
  • Removes 99.97% of particles larger than 0.3 microns and 95% of particles that measure 0.1 micron and smaller.
  • Typically requires a filter replacement only once every 5 years.
  • Needs very minimal maintenance.
  • Includes one of the most comprehensive warranty packages in the air purification industry.

Powerful Filtration

The Allergy Machine air purifier produces healthy, allergen-free air using a 360-degree filtering system and a revolutionary HEGA/HEPA filter. The progressive filtration system is designed to deliver clean air faster and more efficiently than other air purifiers. Every minute, the system pulls in over 250 cubic feet of air from all sides of the unit. Air then passes through the HEGA/HEPA filter and is blown back out into the room using a side vent known as the Clean AirPocket. As a result of this technology, you’ll gain quicker relief for your symptoms, and you’ll maintain that relief for longer periods of time. This is especially useful during the overnight hours.

At the core of the HEGA Allergy Machine is a cylindrical-shaped air filter that cleans the air in 4 stages. At the first stage, the air passes through a cotton “Permafilt” pre-filter to get rid of particles that are easily seen by the naked eye, such as large dust and pet dander particles. During stage 2, a medium particle filter traps small- to medium-sized particles, such as mold spores and pollen. At stage 3, air glides through more than 60 sq. ft. of True Medical Grade HEPA material where it is scrubbed free of harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses. During the final stage, a HEGA filter constructed of military-grade activated carbon cloth absorbs odors, gases, fumes, and vapors to give the air a final cleanse before it is released back into the room. By funneling the air through these 4 different types of filtration media, this Austin Air purifier successfully eliminates 99.97% of airborne pollutants that are 0.3 microns and larger as well as 95% of particles that measure 0.1 micron and smaller. Additionally, this air cleaner removes more than 3,000 types of toxic gases and odors.

Solid Construction, Simple Controls

The Austin Air Allergy Machine features an energy-efficient PSC (Permanent-Split Capacitor) motor, a powerful centrifugal fan, and an all-steel outer body. The long-life PSC motor is rated for continuous use at high RPMs and is mounted on shock absorbers to minimize noise. When running, the motor draws less current and reduces your operating cost by 50% when compared to other air purifiers. The unit’s internal fan uses centrifugal force to move air through the filter and out into the room quickly. Switching between the 3 fan speeds – low, medium, and high – is as simple as turning the knob on the front of the unit to the appropriate number. Internal components are protected by a perforated steel body with a non-toxic, powder-coat finish.

Filter Changes and Maintenance

The Allergy Machine’s HEPA/Carbon cloth combination filter generally needs to be replaced only once every 5 years under typical residential use. The Permafilt pre-filter never needs to be replaced, only vacuumed occasionally to remove large particles that may be blocking the material. Routine maintenance is also minimal. Occasionally, you might have to remove any dust that has accumulated on the unit housing to ensure that nothing is blocking intake and reducing airflow.

Independently Tested

In accordance with the manufacturer's testing standards, this air purifier is continually evaluated for its filtration effectiveness by independent third-party and U.S. government laboratories. Extensive tests are conducted to test the airflow rate, airflow design, and effectiveness in removing vapors, gases, and particles of all sizes. Therefore, you can be assured that each HEGA Allergy Machine provides excellent filtration results.

Warranty and Guarantee

This unit carries one of the most comprehensive warranty packages in the industry. Under a 5-Year Mechanical Warranty, the air cleaner is warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for 5 years from your date of purchase. The manufacturer also provides a 5-Year Pro-Rated Filter Warranty that enables you to receive a discount on future filter replacements. In addition, the unit is sold with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with the performance of this air cleaner for any reason, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, and with no questions asked.

Great Air Cleaner
Reviewed by: Basil on 2008-10-16
After looking at many different websites and reviews on different air cleaners, I finally decided to go with the Austin Air Allergy Machine with HEGA filtration. I have to say that this is one of the best air cleaners I have ever owned.

I love the fact that it has very little maintenance required and the filters last longer than some other air cleaners that you have to change every 6 to 12 months. My wife and I both have allergies and now we don’t wake up congested and we can breathe much easier throughout the night. The unit is built very well and is sturdy and moves around on the carpet with casters with no problems. I also like the fact that on any speed that it pushes out quite a bit of air. I also have a laser particle counter and can see the difference that this machine makes after running this for a couple of hours in our bedroom.

Sylvane’s online ordering was very easy and my product was shipped out on the same day. I received it by UPS 3 day just as advertised on their website with free shipping. I even e-mailed customer support on a question that I had about the Austin Air and received a reply later that day. I also like the fact that if I had to return something that I will not be charged re-stocking fees like some other on-line retailers do. They are great to do business with and I will look forward to using them in the future.
