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.

I’ve been around other people’s air filters at work, and they were so loud and ineffective compared to the Healtmate Jr. It definitely freshens the air in the whatever room it is in and is almost silent; I can comfortably sleep with it on even on the highest setting.

I bought the Austin Healthmate Jr. about 2 years ago for a dusty area and have been happy with it. The three things I like best about it are that you don’t have to buy filters very often because you can vacuum the outside of the filter and that it’s relatively quiet. The other thing is that it takes air in on all four sides and blows the filtered air out through the top area. It seems to do a good job of filtering the air. It’s more energy efficient than air purifiers I’ve used in the past and it has 3 speeds which is nice.
If you use it in really dusty conditions like mine, you can replace the pre-filter more often than the big filter. I’ve found this type of material that I could cut to fit at a local hardware store. You get a pre-filter with it. You have to take it apart to replace the pre-filter and filters, but it isn’t difficult. You can turn off the machine and vacuum it from the outside and that seems to help the filters last longer. Of course, you’ll want to use a vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter or you defeat the purpose. I replace mine about once a year, but I think the average person could go much longer.
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I don’t really have any way of measuring how good of a job it really does, only that it seems to do a good job in terms of allergies, odors, etc. There are so many air filters out there and so many claims, that it’s hard to sort them out. But if I had to buy a filter for another room, I would buy this brand again.
