The starters
Available in bright pink and blue color, Austin Air Babys Breath is a boxy-shaped air purifier built-in premium powder-coated steel housing. At 11 x 16.5 x 11 in and 14 lb weight, the air purifier is far from compact and light as the title implied. Moving around the air purifier is not easy due to the weight and casters are not included by default (additional purchase required). With only a front dial knob controller upfront, there are no modern features that would enhance the air purifier usability e.g. auto mode, air quality monitor and digital screen. On a brighter note, Austin Air Babys Breath comes with the excellent 4-stage filtration, long-life all-in-one filter, 360° progressive Intake System, NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory) recognized, CSA (Canadian Standards Association) and CE (Conformité Européenne) approved, no ozone emitted, 30 days money-back guarantee and 5 years warranty on residential use.
Airflow, speed, and CADR
What’s inside count
Austin Air Babys Breath 4-stage filtration is great against chemical vapors, odors, bacteria, and allergy-related irritants. The outer mesh grille and inner pre-filter would first capture large particles e.g. dust, hair; moving on to second stage the medium particulate filter would handle medium-size particles that manage to skip past the initial pre-filter; again on leftover airborne particles the third stage HEGA filter would trap chemical vapors, gases related irritants that would deem harmful to the baby. Finally, the all-important HEPA filter would capture all micron size bacteria and allergens.Keep it down
