Austin Air HealthMate Plus Air Purifier

Some rooms never really clear out. The cooking smell fades, then comes back. A new rug, fresh paint, cleaning products, or smoke from outside leaves something in the air you can feel even when you cannot name it. The Austin Air HealthMate Plus is built for that kind of room, the one where particles alone are not the whole problem.

It is a single, floor standing air purifier that handles both sides of indoor air: the fine particles you breathe in, and the gases, chemicals, and odors that lighter purifiers tend to leave behind. It is designed for spaces up to 1,500 square feet, so one unit can cover a large living area, a bedroom suite, or an open plan main floor.

What makes the Plus different

Most purifiers stop at a HEPA filter. The HealthMate Plus starts there and adds a serious gas and chemical stage. Inside the unit, air passes through four stages:

• Stage 1, large particle pre-filter: catches dust, hair, and pet dander you can see.
• Stage 2, medium particle pre-filter: catches smaller particles such as mold spores and pollen.
• Stage 3, activated carbon and zeolite: over 780 cubic inches of carbon blend, impregnated with potassium iodide, to adsorb volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, benzene, chemicals, gases, and odors.
• Stage 4, true medical grade HEPA: 60 square feet of HEPA media, certified to remove 99.97 percent of particles larger than 0.3 microns, and 99 percent of particles larger than 0.1 microns.

Air is drawn in from all sides and pushed out through the top, so the unit does not need to sit in the middle of the room to do its work. It runs on a simple manual control, with no app, no subscription, and no Wi-Fi setup to maintain.

Built to last, not to be replaced every year

The HealthMate Plus is built with a steel housing and a powder coat finish, in a footprint of 14.5 inches by 14.5 inches, standing 23 inches tall. It weighs about 47 pounds. The replacement filter is rated for up to 5 years under normal use, and carries a 5 year pro-rated filter warranty. That long filter life is part of the value: fewer replacements, fewer interruptions, and steadier performance over time.

Frequently asked questions

What does the HealthMate Plus remove that a standard HEPA purifier may not?
It adds a large carbon and zeolite stage for gases, chemicals, and odors, including formaldehyde, benzene, and other volatile organic compounds, in addition to HEPA filtration for dust, pollen, smoke particles, mold spores, and pet dander.

How large a room will it cover?
It is rated for spaces up to 1,500 square feet. For best results, place it where air can move freely around it, and keep doors to the room closed when you want the fastest clearing.

How often does the filter need to be replaced?
Under normal use, the replacement filter lasts up to 5 years. The pre-filter can be vacuumed from the outside, which helps maintain airflow between replacements.

Is it noisy?
It has a manual fan control, so you can run it lower for everyday use and higher when you want faster clearing, such as after cooking, cleaning, or smoke exposure.

Does it need Wi-Fi or an app?
No. It is controlled manually at the unit, with no app or subscription required.

What colors are available?
Black, White, Sandstone, and Midnight Blue.

Does the price include shipping?
Yes. The $894.99 price includes free shipping.

Is this a medical device, and will it cure allergies or asthma?
No. It is an air purifier, not a medical device, and it makes no medical claim. It is designed to reduce airborne particles, gases, and odors in the room, which many people find makes the air feel cleaner and easier to breathe.

Why Odor Supply House carries the HealthMate Plus

We work in homes where odor is the complaint, and in our experience, odor is rarely just one thing. Sometimes it is particles. Sometimes it is gases and chemicals that settle into a room and linger. The HealthMate Plus is the unit we reach for when both are in play, because it does not ask you to choose between particle filtration and gas filtration. It is built solidly, it runs simply, and its long filter life keeps the cost of ownership down over time. That is why it earned a place in our air treatment lineup.
