Austin Air it
A personal purifier for a desk or car, with or without carbon.
A personal purifier for a desk or car, with or without carbon.
Desk sized, car sized, and the only Austin Air you carry with one hand.
Two versions of the same small steel box, and the difference between them is the entire decision. One carries carbon. One does not. Everything else about the two is identical, which makes this the shortest choice on the whole site.
How to choose on this shelf
- Carbon Wrap version if a smell is why you are here. The wrap is the carbon, and carbon is the only stage that holds on to a gas. This is the Austin Air it for odors and VOCs.
- HEPA only version if it is dust and pollen. No carbon at all, deliberately, which is why it costs less than the other one.
- Budget for the pre-filter, it comes round often. F100B is the large particle pre-filter. F100C is the VOC carbon wrap pre-filter that goes with the carbon version.
Not for: a room. This is personal space, a desk, a cubicle, a car or a nightstand. A room is what the Austin Air Junior and Standard shelves are for.

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.
