Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Austin Air HealthMate - Black
Customer Review: I love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this unit about a month ago for my 750 square foot work studio. I absolutely love it and will be getting the smaller one for my home. The air that comes out feels so clean that it's a pleasure to have near me when I'm working.
My work studio is full of computers and servers and I've long had a problem with dust. I have skin problems related to the dust and as a result I knew that I had to get something like this to prevent more serious health issues in the future. I did a lot of research and settled on the Austin Air Healthmate after at least a month of research and I couldn't be happier. Normally I have a cleaning lady come in once a month to clean and she always complains about the amount of dust that accumulates in the studio. She just came to do her monthly cleaning at the beginning of this month and was shocked at how little dust there was compared to normal. LOL! She thought I was using another cleaning person behind her back!
The build quality of the unit is very, very good, and the shipment came fairly quickly. I keep it on all the time. When I'm at the studio, I have it set to the lowest setting and I find it's fairly quiet at that setting. When I leave for the day I turn it on full blast. At full blast it's kind of noisy. About as noisy as one of my computer servers when it's crunching numbers.
I've only had for a month so far, so I don't know how much it's going to affect my electric bill, but whatever it does to my electric bill, it's totally worth it because of the outstanding improvement to the air quality in my studio!
If there is one drawback I can think of, it's that the unit is pretty big compared to previous air filters I've had. Sadly, I may have a big problem convincing my wife to let me get one of the junior versions of this, because of the size. But she has noticed the improvement in the air quality in my studio and has been very impressed by it. I may yet be able to sell her on one of these for our home :).
Customer Review: Very solid performing air purifier
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this air purifier for just over a month now and it works great! It basically brings in air from the bottom 3/4's of the system on all four sides and returns it out a side air vent in the top portion. I would equate the size of the unit to that of a dehumidifier unit. The high setting is a little noisy if you are in the room with it, but it really outputs a lot of filtered air. The sound isn't bad if you aren't sitting next to it. The two lower settings are much quieter, with you hardly noticing it is running if it is on the lowest setting.
Its great that it is on wheels. I have a fairly open floor plan so it usually sits in my dining room and then in the evening I wheel it into the hallway to run between the two bedrooms. I have four dogs and live in an older home so I was looking for something that would filter a significant amount of air in a short period of time.
The unit is a bit pricey and one thing to watch for is the cost of the replacement filters. The filters are supposed to last 2-5 years, depending upon the elements in your home. In addition to the unit having a warranty, the filter also has a warranty and depending upon how long your filter lasts determines the discount you receive on the replacement filter. The shorter the time, the bigger the discount on a replacement filter. Overall, I'm very pleased with the product and will be watching for another sale on it as I would like to get a second one for my basement.
Customer Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I moved back into my home after spending a number of years in Colorado after leaving all my furniture, etc. to fend for itself. After 3 months of being home, I developed chronic cough, phlegm, etc. and even vacuuming and dusting wasn't cutting it. So I ordered two of these, one for the front of the house and one for my master suite, plus a Austin Air Healthmate Jr. for the guest room. I couldn't be happier with the products. They are the best at what they do for the money which is about half of what you'd pay for an IQ-Air unit. Of course I did have the carpets shampooed also. But, I would definately spend the money on these again. Highly recommend for quiet operation, sturdy construction, price, and followup costs for filter changes.Customer Review: black austin air purifier

I bought the air purifier because someone in my home is ill. The air purifier would assist him to heal, and feel better. When I received the air purifier it was severely damaged. I could not use it. We were very disappointed. Luckily, I had also purchased another one. It arrived in perfect condition. Since we needed it so badly, for weeks we carried the one we have from floor to floor in our house. The item itself, when it is working, is excellent. I would recommend it, as the best air purifier on the market. I recently purchased another air purifier, so now we have one on each floor. We are breathing much better!Customer Review: This is the best air filter

Hi...I ordered this cleaner but after consideration, felt it was too big for us. The company, Noel, was cordial, friendly, cooperative when I needed to return it. I feel the smaller one room version would be better for us as I'd also like to move it all around the house, including the upstairs. I did a lot of research and felt this was the best on the market. You buy the Austin, you've bought the best.
