Austin Air Air Purifiers
Up to 15 lb of activated carbon in a steel cabinet with a three speed switch.
Up to 15 lb of activated carbon in a steel cabinet with a three speed switch.
A steel box, a switch and a fan. That is the whole Austin Air idea.
You want the smell gone, and no screen telling you about it. Austin Air builds one cabinet in three sizes, packs it with up to 15 lb of activated carbon and mineral filtration, and gives you a three speed dial. Austin Air states its purifiers do not produce ozone, ions or negative ions.
How to choose on this shelf
- Size. Full size for a whole room, Austin Air HealthMate Junior for a bedroom, Austin Air it for a desk or a car.
- Carbon blend. Austin Air HealthMate carries the general blend for odors and chemicals. Austin Air HealthMate Plus swaps it for the smoke and VOC blend, which Austin Air names their best choice for wildfire smoke exposure.
- Filter arithmetic. The cartridge is designed for up to 5 years under normal residential use, with a pro-rated ladder behind it: 40 percent off up to 2 years, down to 10 percent at 5.
Not for: a CADR spreadsheet. Austin Air publishes neither a square footage nor a CADR, and says why. It is loud on the top speed too, less than 50 to 62 decibels on their published range.

How to choose in four steps
-
1. Room size
Measure the room, then match the sq ft
Length times width. Match that to the sq ft in the product name. Go one size up for open plan rooms or high ceilings.
Under 400 sq ft: bedroom or office. 400 to 999: living room. 1000 plus: a whole floor.
-
2. The concern
Match the filter to the problem
Allergies, dust and pet dander call for HEPA. Smoke, cooking and chemical smells call for a real bed of activated carbon. For mold and mildew, look at the HEPA air scrubbers, some add UV on top.
Use the What it is for filter to narrow the list.
-
3. Noise
Bedrooms want under 25 dB on low
The lowest speed is the one that runs all night. The quietest unit here starts at 16.5 dB on its lowest speed. Air scrubbers built for job sites run over 60 dB on high and belong in a basement or garage.
The Noise filter uses the lowest speed figure the maker publishes, or its only published figure where that is all it gives.
-
4. Running cost
Check the filter price and how often it changes
A cheaper unit with a filter every 6 months can cost more over 3 years than a pricier one changed once a year.
Where the maker publishes them, the product page shows the filter price and change interval.
