Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Austin Air HealthMate - Black
Customer Review: Quality Product
Summary: 4 Stars
The primary reason my husband I bought this product was to clean the air in our home from the dog odor that seemed really hard to eliminate with traditional cleaning. We've had this product for a year now and have LOVED it from the beginning. Right away we noticed that the dog smell in the air was practically eliminated when we leave the unit running. When we return from being away from home for a few days or turn the unit off, we really notice a difference in the quality of the air; it does what it advertises it will do. It has also really helped with our allergies. I am giving this product four stars however, because after a year, I'm ready to buy a new filter, though the product advertises that it will last up to five years. When I recently called the company to ask about receiving a replacement filter, they offer a forty percent discount off the price of the filter during the first two years of use. I will be buying a replacement filter because we love this unit so much when it's working at optimum level. I will say we leave it running all the time and have recently done renovations to our home, so that may be the reason we need a new filter already. Below is a breakdown of the pros and cons of this unit:
Pros:
-REALLY cleans the air of smells and allergens. I honestly was surprised by how clean the air smelled when we first bought the unit. It really does the job we wanted it to.
-Though I wouldn't say it's whisper quiet at the lowest level, we leave it running all the time (even when we're out of the house during the day), and we really don't notice the noise(and we have really tall ceilings).
-One unit will really clean a large surface area. I was concerned about the tall ceilings in our living space, but it hasn't been a hindrance at all in the effectiveness of this product.
-Incredibly easy to use with very little maintenance and very easy to use right out of the box
-Though it's not inexpensive, compared with similar high-end products on the market it's priced reasonably. I can't imagine something more expensive being more efficient. We've found this product to be worth the money that was paid for it, and it's much better than having bought something at even half the price that didn't work as well.
-Rolls easily so it can be tucked away or moved simply from room to room
Cons:
-The filter needs replacing after a year of use, but as I mentioned, we leave it running all the time and have done renovations in our home that probably contributed to the lack of longevity in the life of the filter. If you call Austin Air specifically, they will provide you with a new filter at a forty percent discount (during the first two years, but they will offer it at a pro-rated discount for up to five years).
Bottom line:
If you're looking for an air-purifier that will rid your home of smells and allergens, you won't be disappointed by this product (plus it's incredibly low maintenance and easy to use).
Description of Austin Air HealthMate - Black
Austin Air filters address the complete spectrum of air cleaning, removing sub-micron particles, noxious gases and chemicals. Austin Air?s 360-degree intake system draws air into all sides of the HealthMate?, passing it through a 4-stage filter. The result, more clean air delivered faster and more efficiently than any other air cleaner on the market. The 4-stage filtration systems works like this: STAGE 1 - Large Particle Pre-filter - Removes particles easily seen by the naked eye (e.g. dust, hair and pet dander), STAGE 2 - Medium Particle Pre-filter - Removes small to medium size particles (e.g. molds, spores and pollen), STAGE 3 - 15 lbs. of Activated Carbon/Zeolite Blend - Removes chemicals, gases and odors (e.g. sulfuric acid and ammonia), STAGE 4 - 60 ft. of True Medical Grade HEPA - Removes harmful micro-organisms - (e.g. bacteria and viruses) . The Austin Air HealthMate cleans up to 1500 square feet, with nearly 15 lbs. of Carbon-Zeolite mix for the absorbtion of odors, gases and chemicals. Every minute, over 400 cubic feet of air passes through 15 pounds of Activated Carbon and over 60 square feet of True Medical Grade HEPA, providing air so clean it could change your life and how you sleep. If not satisfied, return it for a refund within 30-days. Certified to remove 99.97% of aiborne particles 0.3 microns and larger, and 95% of airborne particles 0.1 microns and larger.
