Austin Air HealthMate Review

Last updated on September 19th, 2021

The starters

Austin Air HealthMate HM400 is no doubt a large air purifier made with premium steel casing shares across all Austin Air purifiers standard range. At a dimension of 4.5 x 23 x 14.5 in. and hefty 47 lb weight, moving the air purifier around is no easy task but thankfully there is a caster standing by. Thin on features, you will not find any modern addons such as air quality sensor (for auto mode), filter replacement indicator, timer or remote control. What you will definitely get from the machine is the superb 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, 30 days money-back guarantee and 5 years warranty on normal use.

Airflow, speed, and CADR

Covers all ground via its 360° progressive housing, Austin Air HealthMate HM400 has an airflow distribution rate between 72-400 cfm. Purifying coverage is also outstanding up to 1500 sq. ft. (2 air released every day). With its wide coverage, you can place Austin Air HealthMate HM400 from living hall, lounge, kitchen to bedroom although smaller Jr version might be more suitable for the latter.

What’s inside count

Austin Air HealthMate HM400 provides reliable and high-performance 4-stage filtration that would not deteriorate on its filtration strength in long-run. Firstly on medium to large size airborne pollutants, the trio pre-filters (including outer steel mesh filter) would trap them effortlessly while not stressing upon the last-stage HEPA filter lifespan. For smoke, gas, and odor based pollutants, there are a 15 lbs. Activated Carbon and Zeolite specifically made for it. Finally, any micron-size airborne pollutants that manage to bypass all the previous filters would now be a trap by the 60 sq.ft. True Medical Grade HEPA filter.

Keep it down

Austin Air HealthMate HM400 40 - 65 dB noise range is rather loud tas a bedside air purifier. You could either place the air purifier further away from bed or opt for Junior version although the noise level is not at an ideal level either. 132 W Power consumption is standard across all Austin Air purifiers, nothing spectacular on that.

At what cost

First and foremost, Austin Air HealthMate HM400 asking price is far from cheap. Owning and maintaining the air purifier is another story as the annual filter replacement cost is unbelievably low due to the long-life 5 years bundled filter lifespan. The only downside is the annoying filter replacement where you have flip cover the air purifier, unscrew the bottom cover and swap it with a brand new one.
