Should be a 10 star

I am very sensitive to chemicals. I give the HealthMate Plus credit for saving my life. With it in my home I can handle odors and chemicals from other apartments and the outside.
Mine has been thru neighbors painting, and remodeling. I did have a break down with it and the warranty was honored. They even put an emergency tag on the repair so it was repaired faster.
The newer ones are so much more quieter than the old ones. When I got mine back from the factory I was constantly putting my hand on it to see if it was running. It was just so quiet.
This is one of the first items that I recommend for a chemically sensitive person to buy.
When the box arrived all I had to do was lift the box off and plug it in. It was so well packed I was impressed.

Pleasantly Surprised

Reviewer: VA Melinda,

Allergies, along with issues from the four pets, created a significant breathing problem. Someone suggested this purchase, and I was skeptical but was in desperate need of relief. An air purifier has made all the difference in my ability to breathe. I only have one for the bedroom, but will get one in the future for the downstairs, too. The company I used to order, Best Filters, was also quite accommodating. Austin sent the wrong color, but BF corrected the problem immediately (within two hours of my email) arranging for the correct color, and then easy pick up of the other unit. I would highly recommend both!

I have used a number of air cleaners, but this is the best so far. I like that it has a Hepa filter, but is low maintenance and low cost. I bought it for someone who has asthma and this has seemed to make a difference as compared to other units,especially the electro-static type which seemed useless with dust and allergens. When I purchased this unit, it was not made with casters(wheels). I notice the more recent models seemed to now have casters(wheels) attached. Although Amazon does not offer the caster tray(which makes the unit portable to wheel around) it was and is available at other dealers online. I paid approximately $35 for the caster tray. The casters make the unit easier to move when cleaning or to relocate to another area. I intend to buy again for other rooms. I hope that Amazon will start to offer the unit which has the attached casters. I plan on having one in every bedroom. You can feel/breathe the difference it makes in a room. Worthwhile buy.

Stylish and works great

I got the Austin Air Healthmate Junior air purifier when I moved into my new house. The previous owner was a smoker. Although I'd replaced the carpets, painted the walls, and cleaned the ducts, I still needed something to help cut down the residual smoke smell. After extensive research, I chose the Healthmate Junior.

It did the job. It's nice and quiet on the low setting. On the high setting it's a bit noisier, but I just set it in a corner and it's fine. (Not right up against the wall though, because you have to leave a few inches of space around it for it to work right.) I left it running for over a year. The smoke smell is gone from the house now. Even my mother, with her super-sensitive nose, can't smell anything when she comes to visit.

I did buy a new filter after about nine or ten months. The air coming out of the Healthmake Junior started to smell a bit acrid. I called Austin Air and asked about it, because I thought the filter should last longer. They said it depends on the quality of your air. That makes sense. They gave me a discount on the new filter because it had been such a short time.

I'm quite pleased with it. It looks nice, it's relatively light, it's simple to use, it's quiet, and it works.

Perfection!

I bought this product at [...] , but wanted to share my feedback in this forum. It has dramaitcally increased the "breatheability" of my air. I suffer from MCS, astham, and severe allergies, and the use of this product has helped tremendously...and even allowed me to reduce the amount of medication I take! It has already paid for itself!
