Features

• Removes a wide variety of contaminants: particles removed include dust, pollens, dander, odors, chemical vapors and more.
• Controls VOCs: additional filter treatment of solid activated carbon/zeolite and potassium iodide are more effective in removing smoke, toxic poisons, and volatile organic compounds such as fresh paint and woodworking.
• Energy efficient and economical: uses only 115 watts on the highest setting. Replacement filter costs are low - the pre-filter can be vacuumed and doesn’t need replacement, while the HEPA/HEGA/zeolite filter lasts 5 years under normal household use, which means less annual maintenance cost.
• Lasts up to 30% longer than conventional carbon/zeolite filters and weighs 13 pounds less.
• Does not produce harmful air components: Austin Air air purifiers do not produce ozone or negative ions.
• Good air flow: All units draw in air on all four sides.
• Easily cleaned and maintains finish: Each unit is encased in steel with a special baked-on powder coat finish with a non-gloss, lightly textured surface that resists scratching, scuffing and smudging. Wipe with cloth for easy cleaning.

How it Works

Reviews

Expert Review

As a whole, we found that the family of Austin Air to be very economical. They are energy cost efficient, requiring only 80-115 watts to run even at the highest fan speed. Long-life HEPA, HEGA and carbon-zeolite filters last for 5 years before needing replacement. The 3-speed fan is quiet on the lowest speed, which means it won't disturb you during sleep, if you would like to run it in the bedroom. Please note, however, that this unit cleans the air fastest when on high speed. As with all air purifiers, you can turn up the speed when you are not in the room so you get cleaner air, then turn it down when you are in the room for less noise. Although portable with casters, we wouldn’t want to regularly lift these air purifiers up and down stairs. All but the Junior models have factory installed casters; optional casters can be purchased separately for those models. The visually-appealing, durable steel casing has a baked-on powder coat finish, and is available in 4 attractive colors to match any décor.
