Airgle BY150 HEPA Air Purifier- Eliminates 99.97% of Particulates as Small as 0.3 Microns! According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), poor indoor air quality is considered one of the top five environmental risks to public health. Interestingly enough, however, five out of ten Americans are unaware of this fact. Unfortunately, the levels of air pollution inside the home can be two to five times higher (and even occasionally 100 times higher) than outdoor levels. However, poor indoor air quality can be significantly improved through the use of a high-quality air purifier with multiple air purification technologies. Fortunately, Airgle delivers stylish, innovative, and reliable air purifiers that are highly rated by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, and the BY150 HEPA air purifier is no exception. The BY150 air purifier provides an efficient and cost effective method of removing indoor air pollutants. By using a powerful 4-speed fan with ultra quiet motor technology, air is passed through a four stage filtration system consisting of a pre-filter which catches large dust particles and hair, a HEPA filter which removes 99.97% of particulates larger than 0.3 microns, an activated carbon filter to eliminate odors, and a sterilization filter which destroys bacteria. Perfect for spaces up to 300-450 square feet, the stylish BY150 air purifier is easy to maintain and is efficient. A digital LCD display with an advanced control panel lets you adjust the time and speed settings and automatic/manual modes with ease. Maintenance is also simple - the replacement filter indicator and easy to replace filters requires no tools and makes operation and maintenance a breeze. A remote control and manual option allows you to control the unit from across the room or from the front unit panel, and the BY150’s ozone-free technology allows your air to be cleaned without emitting lung irritants such as ozone (a common problem with ionic air purifiers).

Austin Air Healthmate Junior Air Purifier - HEPA Air Cleaner - Sandstone How does it work? The key to the Air Allergy Junior consists of two integrated filters that effectively screen out dust particles, pet dander, pollen, and other allergens as air moves through the machine. An advanced backward curved blower draws air through a durable 360 degree perforated steel air intake, and is channeled to the dual filters, which capture 99.97% of all particles larger than 0.3 microns. When the air moves through the carbon cloth filter, it eliminates unwanted odors caused by animals, cooking, smoke, and chemicals. The unique weave of the carbon cloth filter reduces dust while increasing the surface area, helping the filter perform more efficiently, weigh less, and last longer. The Austin Air Allergy Junior does not produce ozone, ions, or negative ions that can be dangerous to those with respiratory problems like asthma and emphysema. Inspired by State-of-the-Art British Military Technology In recent years secrecy restrictions were lifted on a new activated carbon material developed by the British military. This material was a lightweight carbon, weaved into a cloth designed to protect British troops from the toxic weapons of chemical warfare. Researchers at the Austin laboratories developed a method for combining the carbon cloths gas trapping capabilities, with the proven particle filtration of the HEPA filter. The result is the highly efficient HEGA filter.
Customer Review: Not worth the money
I have owned a healthmate junior air purifier for a number of years now. Frankly I can say that it was not worth the money. I bought the filter due to the “warranty” on the main filter. What a joke! After getting a new filter 6 months ago the air coming out smells terrible. When I spoke to Austin Air they informed me that they would sell me a new filter for 50% off. Are you kidding me? I just replaced it and they are asking me to spend even more money with them??
Bottom line, there are MANY other higher rated air cleaners out there that cost much less money and that are more reliable. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.
Customer Review: Austin Air=Antiquated Air Filtration Technology
Austin Air Healthmate Jr is missing UV LIght to kill bacteria filtered from the air, ozone to kill airborne viruses and negative ion output. All it has is a medical grade HEPA filter. The filter will need to be replaced before the 5 years it is supposed to last and it will SMELL when the filter gets clogged. I did the research AFTER I bought a Healthmate Jr unfortunately. Also when you buy this bulky item, ask them about a restocking fee and return shipping. Buying and returning one could easily leave you $50-60 dollars poorer. There are better, more advanced, cheaper air filters out there. I now have 2 Multi-Tech 2 XJ3000D air filters and I love them!!
