Austin Air Rocks!
By TechnoJunkie
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!

By S Murdock
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 our doorstep a day or two after the wood floors were completed.Fourth, we purchased new allergen-free linens, e.g. mattress cover, pillow casings.In the meantime, we also went to an allergist and confirmed that our child is highly allergic to dust mites, which were living in the carpet and/or our child's bed and linens. I am forgoing the occasional use of the Rx from the allergist and continuing with the ginko biloba supplement and utilizing the JR.Maybe we didn't need the JR afterall? Maybe, but I believe it has made a considerable difference in the air quality in our home judging by our child's lack of phlegm/congestion in the mornings and throughout the day. Also, whenever I hear any congestion I ask our child to go sit in the room with the JR and the congestion dissipates in a matter of minutes.Our child's congestion, now, is triggered by the library books we bring home, specifically the older books, as well as anything that could be a dust mite haven. Being enclosed with the JR works wonders.The JR is fairly quiet at the lowest setting which is great at night. We put the highest setting on before bedtime stories are read. I will often put the library books we bring home in the closed bedroom to minimize any reaction. It works for us. I will be using our vacuum on the JR soon to clean the vents and filter. The JR is costly for a family on a budget, but the quietness, ease of use and filter cleaning, a 5-year warranty, its aesthetics, plus the job it does in purifying our indoor air is well worth the purchase.

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 his is one of the more expensive models. I went with the smaller one because I plan on buying one for each room rather than try to have one function for the whole apartment. That might sound crazy but our desperation to rid ourselves of this problem is such that I'd rather err on the side of overkill.So, we set it up in our bedroom. I can tell you, this thing works so well that for the first time in two years I can smell the wood from our furniture instead of cigarette stank. This is only three days in. The moment you walk through the bedroom door into the hallway the smell of smoke hits like a wall, so I know that this is doing the job we wanted. I can't say as to whether it's removing the harmful chemicals of the smoke, but for now it's enough to just not have to smell the crap.It's quieter on high than any of our others on low. Ours doesn't have the whistling effect that another review stated so maybe they got a defective model. It doesn't make a huge wind like our other purifiers either.I also like that it's metal construction. The Honeywells we own are plastic and being a porous material I have noticed that the purifiers themselves smell like smoke these days. I don't feel like that will happen with this one.As another review also stated, there are no indicators for needing to change the filter. I do wish that was included but I suspect we'll smell the need when the time comes.
