I got myself the Austin*Air HealthMate. I had been looking around for one that is cheap and reliable. I did not want to spend to much on this purchase, so it took me a while to decide that this was the one purifier I needed.
I think this was the best value for money that I've made yet. The air purifier does exactly what it is supposed to. It cleans the allergens that are in the room like dust, pollen, and mold spores. I have always been highly susceptible to allergens so I need to be careful about many things such as the air I breathe and things like that.
What I like about the product is the convenience that the manufacturers provide their buyers with. You don't actually have to replace the filters because it comes with the warranty and is changed every 5 years. I will probably replace the filters every 4 or 5 years though since I prefer to keep it on all the time. This is convenient since most air purifiers will require filter replacement every couple of months.
This filter is perfect for my house because the floor space is a bit large. It cancels out the allergens perfectly for me and it is only slightly noisy. If I run it on a low setting though the noise isn't that much but it can become a bother when cranked to full. A big plus for me as well is that this purifier does not emit ozone, and it is always a good idea to pick products that are eco friendly.
The item is priced at $450 which is very reasonable for an air purifier of this calibre. Sure there are better but you just can't beat this for the price.
