Austin Air Healthmate Jr. Air Purifier

Like the full-size HealthMate model, the Austin Air HealthMate Jr. (HM-200) Air Purifier provides excellent protection against everyday air quality problems – on a smaller scale. This model, designed to cover a 700-sq.-ft. space, is equipped with more than 30 sq. ft. of True Medical Grade HEPA and 6.5 lbs. of activated carbon. These air-cleaning components help to ensure that you breathe the cleanest indoor air possible. The HealthMate Jr.:

• Employs a 360-degree progressive filtering system with a 4-stage filter for incredibly thorough air filtration.
• Captures 99.97% of particles larger than 0.3 microns and 95% of particles that measure 0.1 micron and smaller.
• Generally requires a filter replacement only once every 5 years.
• Needs minimal maintenance.
• Includes one of the most comprehensive warranty packages in the air purification industry.

Filtration Effectiveness

The Austin Air HM-200 air cleaner produces exceptionally clean, purified air using a 360-degree filtering system. This system draws air into the unit from all sides, passes it through the internal air filter, and blows it back out into the room using a side output vent. It is designed to help you achieve quicker relief because clean air is delivered faster and more efficiently than other models that pull air in from only one side.

At the core of the HealthMate Jr. is a cylindrical-shaped air filter that cleans the air in 4 stages. During stage 1, air passes through a thin cotton “Permafilt” pre-filter to get rid of particles easily seen by the naked eye, such as large dust and pet dander particulates. During stage 2, air passes through a medium particle filter where small- to medium-sized particles, such as mold spores and pollen, are removed. The stage 3 filter consists of a 6.5-lb. mixture of odor-absorbing carbon and natural zeolite. The activated carbon material removes chemicals, gases, and odors by absorbing them and locking them permanently inside its porous material. The mineral zeolite helps this process by absorbing heavier toxic vapors and fumes. In the final filtration stage, air passes through 30 sq. ft. of True Medical-Grade HEPA material designed to capture harmful, disease-causing microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses. Every minute, more than 125 cubic feet of air passes through this combination filter.

By funneling the air through 4 different types of filtration media, this Austin Air purifier eliminates 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns and larger as well as 95% of particles that measure 0.1 micron and smaller. Additionally, the HealthMate Junior is efficient in removing more than 3,000 types of toxic gases and odors. Airborne particles, odors, and gaseous irritants are notorious for aggravating allergy symptoms, asthma conditions, and chemically sensitive disorders. Regular use of this unit will reduce the severity of your symptoms and may even eliminate them all together.

Sturdy Construction, Simple Controls

This air cleaner features an all-steel outer body, an energy-efficient PSC (Permanent-Split Capacitor) motor, and a high-powered centrifugal fan. The steel body has been strategically welded together to prevent any loud rattling noises caused by the motor’s vibration. The long-life PSC motor is rated for continuous use at high RPMs. As an added benefit, this motor draws less current when it’s running, which can reduce your operation costs by 50% when compared to other air purifiers. The unit’s 3-speed 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 manual knob on the front of the unit to the appropriate number.

Filter Replacements and Maintenance

The HealthMate Jr.’s HEPA/Carbon combination filter generally needs to be replaced only once every 5 years under typical residential use. The permanent pre-filter never needs to be replaced, only vacuumed occasionally to remove large particles that could be blocking the material. Routine maintenance is also minimal. From time to time, you might have to clean off any dust that has accumulated on the unit’s steel housing to ensure that nothing is blocking intake and reducing airflow.

Independently Tested

The unit’s filtration effectiveness is continually evaluated and confirmed by independent third-party and U.S. government laboratories. Extensive tests are conducted to evaluate the airflow rate, airflow design, and effectiveness in removing vapors, gases, and particles of all sizes. Therefore, you can be assured that each HealthMate HM-200 air cleaner provides excellent filtration performance.

Warranty and Guarantee

The HealthMate Jr. carries one of the most comprehensive warranty packages in the industry. Under a 5-Year Mechanical Warranty, the air purifier 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. To top off the package, the HealthMate Junior is sold with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with the performance of this Austin Air purifier for any reason, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund, and with no questions asked.

Great Air Purifier for the Bedroom
Reviewed by: Joe on 2008-11-11
I received the Austin Air Jr. unit about a year ago and put it in my bedroom which is about 15 x 20 and it works great. We love it.

It really helps with the dust and you can't beat the low maintenance on the unit. You only replace the filter 1 time every 4-5 years. Other than that, there's no additional maintenance on the thing. It's also very small. I highly recommend this product.
