Like the Austin Air HealthMate, the Austin Air HealthMate Plus HEPA Air Purifier gives you reliable protection against a variety of airborne contaminants, from common household allergens to smoke and chemical odors. The HealthMate Plus, however, features a more absorbent activated carbon filter bed to combat heavier chemical odors, including formaldehyde. Classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a "probable human carcinogen"—formaldehyde exposure causes irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat and may aggravate existing respiratory conditions. The HealthMate Plus absorbs formaldehyde odors along with symptom-triggering allergens and other airborne odors.

Multi-Stage Air Filtration
HealthMate Plus air purifiers uses Austin Air's signature 360-degree progressive filtering system to remove the most symptom-aggravating allergens, odors, and chemicals from your home. With steady use, you may see a reduction in your allergy, asthma, and MCS symptoms or even eliminate them all together.
Every minute, the system pulls in room air from all sides of the air cleaner. Air passes through a 4-stage HEPA/carbon combination filter and is blown back out into your room using the Clean Air Pocket vent. This extensive filtration system cleans your air faster and more efficiently than conventional air purifiers, which means quicker relief from your symptoms.
The HealthMate Plus Air Cleaner 4-stage combination filter includes:
-
PERMALIFT Pre-Filter - During stage 1, air passes through a cotton PERMALIFT pre-filter, which captures particles easily seen by the naked eye, such as large dust and pet dander particles.
-
Medium Particle Filter: Next, a medium particle filter traps small- to medium-size allergens, such as mold, pollen, and dust mites.
-
Carbon Blend Filter: Next, air moves through a 15-pound carbon and natural zeolite filter where odors, chemicals, gases, fumes, and VOCs are absorbed and locked away.
-
Medical-Grade HEPA Filter - Next, air glides through 60 square feet of true medical-grade HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) material where it is scrubbed free of harmful bacteria and viruses as well as smaller pollen, mold, pet dander, dust, and ragweed particles.

Overall, this long-lasting combination filter eliminates 99.97% of airborne pollutants that are 0.3 microns and larger, 95% of particles that measure 0.1 micron and smaller, and more than 3,000 types of toxic gases and odors. You'll rest easy knowing that you and your family are breathing the cleanest air possible.
Durable Construction for Years of Clean Air
Made in the USA, Austin Air HealthMate Plus HEPA Air Purifiers are constructed with sturdy, long-lasting components that boost efficiency and energy savings. These include an energy-efficient Permanent-Split Capacitor (PSC) motor, a powerful centrifugal fan, and an all-steel outer body. The long-life PSC motor is rated for continuous use at high RPMs and is mounted on shock absorbers to minimize noise. When running, the Healthmate Plus motor draws less current and reduces your operating costs by 50% when compared to other air purifiers.
