Austin Air Rocks!
My chemical sensitivities and allergies sent me to the hospital three times this summer and I was at my wits' end. This filter has literally saved my life. I run it on low all the time. I pop it up to high if I smell any smoke in the air or fumes from the street outside my front window, and the air clears within 10 minutes. My health has improved immeasurably since I started running the filter. I've even started working out on my elliptcal again. I'll be buying a second one soon, so that I won't have to move it around the house with me all the time. It's small, quiet, unobtrusive and effective... Thanks Austin Air!
Huge difference!
This is by far the best air purifier my family has tried so far. Previously we purchased two different types of Honeywell purifiers, their main use was to cut down on cat dander in our home. Those did a great job at that so if you're only looking for something basic like that, I'd go with something cheaper than this.
Our problem began 2 years ago when a chain smoker moved into the apartment below ours. No matter how much we pleaded with her to go outside, our house continues to fill with her smoke and leaves my toddler with congestion, bloody noses and I imagine pretty bad headaches since I am experiencing those. The Honeywell purifiers, left on the high settings 24/7 could only barely make a dent in this situation. I began searching for something that would help since moving is not currently an option for us. A neighbor told me about his Austin air purifier and how he never smells smoke in his apartment despite having a smoker (though not as heavy as ours) below him though...
Austin Air HM-200 Healthmate Plus Jr.
I can't give a thorough endorsement, since there were certain circumstances which would skew a 'controlled study' of the HM Plus JR, and which could have made a huge difference in claiming results.
The situation before buying the JR: Our preK child was suffering from congestion throughout the day, particularly heavy during the mornings. It was chronic -- friends who were familiar with our situation said that our child seemed to have post-nasal drip. Maybe. I suspected allergies (and/or a reaction to mold) since I have mild symptoms of allergies to certain things, plus eczema. Our child has skin sensitivities as well.
First, wood floors were installed before the JR had arrived. We had carpeting in the house which was well over six years old, and who knows what became embedded or decided to live in that carpet.
Second, our son and I take ginko biloba as a daily supplement. Ginko biloba is a natural antihistamine.
Third, the JR arrived at...
