Healthmate Plus - Powerful Air Purifier with HEPA Medical-Grade Filtration System, Eliminate Harmful Airborne Contaminants, (Sandstone)

Fantastic filtration system! This is the 2nd one I’ve owned and it removes odors fast! The 3 levels allows for faster odor elimination and it’s quiet at level 1 that I keep it running all the time.

Love this! I baught 2. One for my bedroom and one for my living room. They are really helping with the new furniture off gassing. I still had to get rid of my bed frame because it was MDF and pressboard and my face was right by the headboard all night. The filter could not filter the air between the head board and my face between each inhale. Although, a fan might have helped if I could have tolerated the wind on my face. Regardless, this filter is great for the MDF electric fireplace (since I don't put my face against that one), new sofa, new area rug , and new accent chairs (all in the living room), oh and new kitchen table and chairs and my new to me used MDF and pressboard desk located in my bedroom. Suggestion: Don't sell everything and start over. Just beg you mom for all of your grandmothers furnature (live and learn). But, these filters are a life saver! On high they are a bit loud. So after the initial air clearing phase, we now turn them down when we are in the room. We turn them on high when we are not using the room (eg living room when sleeping and bedroom when awake) and every time we leave the house. (FYI, before all of this new Furnature, I did not know about chemical sensativity. So, you might be more sensative than I. Still these are great for the appropriately sized room.)

I have a nice apartment, and my neighbor has a heavy pot smoking habit. This machine (cranked on high) will remove 90% + of pot smell leeching into my space. In my case, the smoke smell was seeping through the wall that divides our units. My neighbor does not share any ventilation ducts with me and is completely walled off. I tried (2) other Levoit air purifiers (300 and 400) before landing on this one. They were a joke and did not remove the smell. This unit, the Austin Healthmate Plus with 15lbs of activated carbon, actually works. I stuck it in the corner where the smell seeps in, and leave it on low or medium all the time. The unit is a bit loud on high, and the fan seems to "flutter" a bit on low/medium. If you are buying this, you care more about clean air than you do a very slight flutter in the acoustics. You are paying for the commercial quality air filter. This unit is powerful enough to clean all the air in my 1200 square foot space on medium. There is a noticeably neutral smell throughout the apartment if I leave it on high. When my neighbor is actively smoking and the machine is on medium, I can smell something slight. I then turn the machine on high and the smell goes away. If I turn the machine off I can start to smell it again within 5 minutes, so I know it works. I think this is the best tool to regain control of your air if you are struggling with a neighbor's smoke. Before I got this I was coughing/sneezing, and it was psychologically distressing since my bedroom is where the problem originates. Completely worth it in my opinion. Also, apparently the relative humidity in your space should not exceed 60%. Excess moisture will react with the potassium iodide impregnated carbon filter, and that will apparently reduce its life. Only the Healthmate PLUS has potassium iodide in the filter. I don't know how well this machine would handle direct smoke in the same space. Anyway, now I don't have to move, and I can think about something else besides what my neighbor is smoking.

I have really been struggling in my remodeled house with vocs. This IS the answer you are looking for if you are having a similar situation. It is life changing for those of us who are sensitive to vocs. Buy it! Buy it now!! HEPA filters alone will do nothing for vocs. Solid construction. Arrived on time. I just bought my second one. Will likely buy 3 total as I have a large house. Psychologically not suffering anymore is AMAZING! I named my first one Steve…. Big price, way bigger value!!

Very happy with air purifier! Wish it didn’t blow so much air around, but so far noticed a very big difference.

Let's face it. This is pricey. But if you need SVOC and VOC cleanup, this works. It made a noticeable difference in the air when I needed it. Without it, my chest was burning. With it, I felt much better. Amazon's return policy is good for this, better than if one buys it elsewhere. That gave me the confidence to try it, and I'm glad I did.

I moved to a rental end unit townhouse because of my condo (which I still own) having nuisance second-hand smoke from a renter. Well, I purchased this air purifier because the rental unit, while smoke-free initially, started to have tobacco smoke coming into it about two weeks ago. Other air purifiers which I bought here on Amazon helped mitigate the smoke after the next-door smoking has ceased but not keeping up with it while the smoke is coming through the townhouse walls. "Gemini" and "ChatGPT" AIs both steered me towards this product citing the activated charcoal volume and chemical additives. But, as I write, while this "Austin Air HealthMate Plus Purifier" is running behind me on full speed, the new cigarette smoke smell, I can clearly smell. With tax this cost me about $906 US dollars. I wonder if they will let me return it. It does not seem to be able to keep up with the smell. It arrived on time without damage. It is heavy. But I managed to move it a stair or two at a time up to my second floor level living area. Frankly, my lesser quantity activated charcoal filter air purifiers seemed about the same with managing the incoming smoke smell. To say that I am disappointed is to put it mildly. Perhaps the company can rectify this.

Extremely loud. There’s no way any can realistically use this in a modern apartment.
