The Austin Air HealthMate Plus is designed for those who are chemically sensitive. This unit is a specialized version of the HealthMate which is America's most popular all-purpose air purifier 30 years running. The HealthMate Plus provides exceptional improvements in indoor air quality by removing the smallest particles and hazardous VOCs and gases. Its popularity stems from its simple no-frills design, solid metal housing, long-lasting filters, and the best 5-year warranty in the business.
NOTE: Each unit comes with filters, ready to plug in and go!
Austin Air purifiers, made in Buffalo, NY, are the only air purifiers clinically proven at major universities and hospitals (see notes below). The medical-grade HEPA filter removes the smallest particle and the extra-large carbon filter that is impregnated with potassium iodide captures a wide range of odors, sub-micron particles, noxious gases, and viruses. Together they purify up to 1500 SF quickly and effectively. You and your family will notice cleaner purer air within a few hours. Many customers notice reduced symptoms after the first day.

What makes the HealthMate Plus so unique is its four-stage filtration system that's guaranteed to last for five years.
The biggest expense of owning an air purifier is the long-term cost of filter replacements. Most air purification systems contain HEPA and carbon filters but are so small (1-5 lbs) that their effectiveness diminishes quickly and they need to be replaced every 1-2 years. Austin Air's filters are massive and contain 15 pounds of activated carbon and zeolite plus 60 sq/ft of True Medical HEPA. This results in a higher initial costโbut, a larger filter absorbs more chemicals for longer periods of time, without the hassle and expense of changing filters. Austin Air guarantees their filters for 5 years.
We sell replacement filters and pre-filters for this unit. Filters should be changed every 4-5 years (depending on hours of usage, fan speed, and degree of air pollution).
The HealthMate Plus is hard-working and built to last. Many customers tell us they already own 2-3 air purifiers but most either no longer work or don't work very well. Part of the reason is that they are undersized for the large volume of air or the number of pollutants in their homes. Consequently, they must run on the highest setting in order to achieve truly clean air. This tends to overwork the motor and depletes the filter quickly.
The Austin Air HealthMate Plus has a larger motor and a larger filter which means it does not have to run on high all day long. Due to its size, it can deliver up to 1500 sq/ft. of clean air in an hour. Three fan speeds will purify 75 to 200 to 400 cubic feet per minute (CFM). It uses a high-efficiency permanent split capacitor motor that is CSA certified. It's rated for continuous 24/7 RPM and extra-long life. The entire perforated housing is made with 23-gauge powder-coated metal with no rubber gaskets or plastics that off-gas. It's also warranted for five years.
What most people like about the HealthMate Plus is that it's mechanically simple. It offers a 3-speed manual control with no fancy dials, LED lighting, or high-tech circuitry to break down and repair. There are no filter replacement sensors, no ionizers, no UV lamps, no bells, and no whistles. Let's face it: it's old school, but its no-frills design performs exceptionally well and produces worry-free clean air day after day. Because there are only a few parts, it assembles in minutes, and when it's time to replace the long-lasting filters you won't even need the manual.

No other company backs their products this way.
Want more proof? Studies at John Hopkins May, 2018, and June, 2014 showed reductions in second hand smoke and nitrogen dioxide concentrations.
A clinical trial at Cincinnati's Children's Hospital showed the effects of HEPA Air Cleaners on Asthma Symptoms for Children Exposed to Second Hand Smoke.
In 2000 the US Government extensively tested Austin Air Purifiers alongside more than 100 others. Their tests confirmed the Austin Air Purifiers were the most effective at removing chemicals and VOCs from the environment. During 9-11, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Sandy and the 2015 SolCal gas leak in California, Austin Air purifiers were utilized by both FEMA and the American Red Cross to help reduce contaminated air in numerous locations.
For those that want a simple, durable, hard-working machine that's easy to operate and delivers very clean air all night and day in large rooms without maintenance. This is the gold standard for high performance air purifiers.
