Allergy Air Purifiers

Austin Air Bedroom Machine 

Austin Air is recognized as a leader in the air purification industry for their quality construction of both the main unit housing and filter assembly and is often a top recommendation by Allergists. The Austin Air Bedroom Machine is designed for the bedroom but it could really be used in any room of the house.  It’s endorsed by The National Sleep Foundation as a product with a proven track record of helping people sleep better. In addition, it also meets the strict requirements set out by Johns Hopkins University Medical School for ongoing testing of submicron particles and gases.  Austin has really outdone themselves by creating their most effective filter configuration ever offered.

About the Filtration

Austin employs one of the best all-in-one filters that we’ve ever seen for an air purifier. What you normally get with combined filter systems is thin layers which don’t do as good of a job at filtering out allergens and contaminants.  In contrast, The Bedroom Machine provides allergy sufferers with the best balance of HEPA filter material, Activated Carbon and pre-filter screening so you can enjoy fresh air for up to 5 years without having to change your filter. Just vacuum the outer pre-filter once a month and let your Bedroom Machine do the rest. Did we forget to mention that this is Austin’s most advanced system yet? 

As air is pulled through The Bedroom Machine 360 degrees it goes through the first layer which is the pre-filter.  Most pre-filters are designed to capture large-sized particles like hair, dust, pollens and other allergens at a larger micron size. The second stage is another pre-filter called the Medium Particle Filter.  This is very similar to the first layer, only the Medium Filter captures particles smaller than the Pre-Filter.  The idea behind these first two filters is to protect the next series of filters, which are the Activated Carbon, True HEPA filter Gas-Absorbing Carbon Cloth. The two Activated Carbon layers are great for odors, gases and chemicals which may unknowingly be one of the reasons for your discomfort during rest. The heart of this filtration is the True HEPA filter which traps and destroys allergens, bacteria and viruses down to 0.3 microns in size, 99.97% of the time.  This filter is also considered “Medical Grade” because of its ability to trap and destroy even particles as fine as 0.1 microns in size but the efficiency is reduced down to 95%.  Having a Medical Grade filter in your home air purifier is truly an added benefit without having to pay hundreds or thousands more for advanced filtration seen in hospitals.
