I recently purchased an Austin Air Healthmate Plus Junior Air purifier and I love it. It makes the air feel and smell so clean and fresh. Every time I walk into the room, I take a deep breath because it just smells so clean! When we have the money, I’d love to purchase additional Austin air purifiers for all the rooms in our house. As it is now, we have it in the bedroom at night and move it out into the living room during the day. It isn’t too heavy and there haven’t been any issues with moving it around.

I purchased the purifier because I had been having some trouble breathing. It was sometimes hard for me to take a full breath. Since having the air purifier, I have noticed a definite improvement in my symptoms. I also love the fact that this unit helps remove VOCs from the air. We recently got a new couch and it was off-gassing quite a bit. I love knowing that this filter helps remove those harmful chemicals from the air.

As far as the unit itself, it seems to be a very high quality product. The construction is solid and the design is attractive. I got one in sandstone and it blends right in with my décor. It isn’t too loud, which is something I was a little worried about. It’s certainly noticeable on the high setting but not bad at all. At medium or low settings, it’s extremely quiet. We like to use it at night in our bedroom on the high setting because the white noise is soothing and helps everyone sleep better.

Before purchasing the unit, I had read one review somewhere that stated this unit gave off a cardboard smell at first so I was worried about that. I’m glad to report that the only smell I’ve ever noticed was the smell of fresh, clean air! I highly recommend this unit!!

Amazing Job!

I recently had a flood in my home, which left me with moldy rugs and flooring. I could not enter that area of my home without feeling sick with headaches, a sick stomach and a dry cough. I was really concerned since I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and have a high sensitivity to mold and fumes.

I was skeptical about air purifiers, since I had previously owned a Ozone machine, which made me just as sick as the original fumes. I ordered an Austin Healthmate Plus to see if I could get some relief. After using it just 1 day, I couldn't believe the difference.

I'm sitting in that same room at this moment and it feels great. The air feels clean and fresh and there is no over-oxygenated ozone feel. I actually want to stay in the room because I feel so good.

One unexpected result is that my breathing is better than its been in years...I can actually take deep breaths. I wasn't even aware that I was not fully breathing, until I used this machine. I really recommend this particular model. The construction is really solid and the noise, even on a high setting, is negligable. Its also very attractive and simple, it blends in with the room decor.

I think that this air purification is something that my body as well as my room has needed. I'm so happy with my air purifier that I just ordered a second one for my bedroom! Thank you Austin Air!

I bought this so that I would not have to dust my glass figurines but I find that I still have to dust them. I think maybe not as often but with something this pricey I was hoping to not have to dust anymore!
