Austin Air HealthMate Plus HEPA Air Purifier
Description
Description
Like the Austin Air HealthMate Series, the Austin Air HealthMate Plus HEPA Air Purifiers give you reliable protection against a variety of airborne contaminants, from common household allergens to smoke and chemical odors.
The HealthMate Plus, however, features a more absorbent activated carbon filter bed to combat heavier chemical odors, including formaldehyde. Classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a "probable human carcinogen"—formaldehyde exposure causes irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat and may aggravate existing respiratory conditions.
Available in White, Sandstone, Black, or Midnight Blue
The Austin HealthMate Plus
- Ideal for allergy- and asthma-sufferers as well as those with multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) and who are particularly sensitive to formaldehyde
- Trap 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns and 95% of particles that measure 0.1 micron and smaller
- Remove dust, pollen, tobacco smoke, chemical vapors, gases, viruses, bacteria, and more
- Generally require a filter replacement only once every 5 years
- Need minimal routine maintenance
Multi-Stage Air Filtration
HealthMate Plus air purifiers uses Austin Air's signature 360-degree progressive filtering system to remove the most symptom-aggravating allergens, odors, and chemicals from your home. With steady use, you may see a reduction in your allergy, asthma, and MCS symptoms or even eliminate them all together.
Every minute, the system pulls in room air from all sides of the air cleaner. Air passes through a 4-stage HEPA/carbon combination filter and is blown back out into your room using the Clean Air Pocket vent. This extensive filtration system cleans your air faster and more efficiently than conventional air purifiers, which means quicker relief from your symptoms.
The HealthMate Plus Air Cleaner 4-stage combination filter includes:
- PERMAFILT Pre-Filter - During stage 1, air passes through a cotton PERMAFILT pre-filter, which captures particles easily seen by the naked eye, such as large dust and pet dander particles.
- Medium Particle Filter - Next, a medium particle filter traps small- to medium-size allergens, such as mold, pollen, and dust mites.
- Carbon Blend Filter – Next, air moves through a 15-pound activated carbon filter infused with natural zeolite and potassium iodide where heavy odors, chemicals, gases, fumes, and VOCs are absorbed and locked away.
- Medical-Grade HEPA Filter - Lastly, air glides through 60 square feet of true medical-grade HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) material where it is scrubbed free of harmful bacteria and viruses as well as smaller pollen, mold, pet dander, dust, and ragweed particles.
Overall, this long-lasting combination filter eliminates 99.97% of airborne pollutants that are 0.3 microns and larger, 95% of particles that measure 0.1 micron and smaller, and more than 3,000 types of toxic gases and odors. You'll rest easy knowing that you and your family are breathing the cleanest air possible.
If you're looking to cover a smaller area, check out the Austin Air Healthmate Plus Jr, which features the same great reliable quality of air filtration for spaces up to 700 square feet.
Sturdy, Efficient Construction
Made in the USA, these air purifiers are constructed with sturdy, long-lasting components that boost efficiency and energy savings. These include an energy-efficient Permanent-Split Capacitor (PSC) motor, a powerful centrifugal fan, and an all-steel outer body.
The long-life PSC motor is rated for continuous use at high RPM and is mounted on shock absorbers to minimize noise. When running, the HealthMate Plus motor draws less current and reduces your operating costs by 50% when compared to other air purifiers.
Additional Features
- Easy Controls - Choose from 3 purification speeds using the simple manual knob control.
- Smooth-Roll Casters - Casters come standard with the HealthMate Plus.
- Independently Tested - Like all Austin Air Purifiers, these have been independently tested for filtration effectiveness by third-party and U.S. government labs.
- Easy Filter Changes - Just remove the bottom cover of the air purifier to access the old filter and drop a new one in.
Sylvane's Expert Take
The Austin Air HealthMate Plus help reduce your chronic allergy, asthma, and MCS symptoms, creating a healthier environment for you and your family. In the Austin Air series, this model is the best choice for removing harmful airborne formaldehyde.

- TTaraVerified BuyerReviewingAustin Air HealthMate Plus HEPA Air PurifierI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars9 months agoNoisy on high but would buy again
I love the quality of Austin air purifiers, I believe they are the best. After saving and making such a big purchase I was disappointed in the noise that the machine makes on high. We use it in our oversized living space and while I was ready to return the unit I don't think I'd be happy with another brand. In hindsight I should have gotten 2 smaller units so I don't have to run them on high. Love that the filters last 5 years so I don't need to worry about them until then. #sweepstakes
- MMarshallVerified BuyerReviewingAustin Air HealthMate Plus HEPA Air PurifierI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoImproved health for MCAS/MCS
Bought this after moving into a brand new home, immediately after leaving my previous house due to mold contamination that was causing me illness. The new home had severe offgassing that was causing new health complications, so I bought a healthmate plus after reading about others who used this successfully for mold/mcs/mcas. It did the trick! I am sleeping through the night again and feeling steadily better. Talk about a huge victory after a long battle of environmental illness - this worth the cost if you have health issues!!! #sweepstakes

This is my 5th Austin Air machine, but this is the first time I've had to replace one. My first one, a Healthmate Plus Junior, has worked almost every day for 20 years. It still cleans the air, but it's bearings started squeaking so it is no longer good for the bedroom. My Healthmate Plus Air cleaners are essential for me to live a normal life with MCS. In my classroom, the Healthmate Plus takes care of all the fragrances my students wear and the cleaning chemicals used by the custodians. It even helped me survive two years in a classroom with brand new carpet (along with my activated carbon mask). A few years ago when it was taking my Healthmate Plus home at the end of the semester, the cord got caught in the elevator door. It bounced around on the ceiling of the elevator door a while before the plug tore off is the cord and the air cleaner dropped to the floor. I figured it wouldn't work again, but after we replaced the cord with one from Home Depot, it has worked as well as when I first bought it. Austin makes great QUALITY air cleaners! #sweepstakes

I bought this Healthmate Plus to replace my first one, which worked great for 20 years! The old one still cleans the air, but after 20 years its bearings started squeaking so it no longer works in a bedroom. Austin Healthmate Plus has been one of the two most important devices that allow me to live a normal life with MCS. My Healthmate Plus in my classroom takes care of any fragrances worn by my students as well as the cleaning chemicals used by the custodians. It helped me survive two years in a classroom with new carpet (along with my activated carbon mask). A few years ago as I was taking my air cleaner home from school at the end of the semester, the cord got caught in the elevator door while the elevator was heading down. The air cleaner bounced around the ceiling of the elevator, dangling by its cord until the plug finally tore off. When it fell back to the floor of the elevator, I figured the air cleaner wouldn't work anymore, but we replaced the cord with a replacement cord from Home Depot, and now it runs as well as the day I got it. Austin makes great quality machines that are worth every penny!
