HealthMate Plus Air Purifier, Black - Advanced 4-Stage Filtration Air Purifiers For Home with Activated Carbon & Zeolite - Ideal as Air Purifiers for Bedroom or any Large room, Model B450

Love this product! Not only does it filter out dust, toxins and foul smells it works as a noise filter. It creates white noise that eliminates the sound of drag car racers at night. I can’t sleep without it and my house always smells fresh.

They are a bit pricey, but I bought this to deal with 3D printing in my office (along with an air quality monitor). The monitor has only gone off once, so I started up the filter, and a few minutes later, it was all clear. Then I started running it on medium all the time and noticed my stuffy nose cleared up, so it is obviously doing some good work. It is pretty loud running on high, but it is actually the volume of airflow, not the fan that I hear.

Love this! I baught 2. One for my bedroom and one for my living room. They are really helping with the new furniture off gassing. I still had to get rid of my bed frame because it was MDF and pressboard and my face was right by the headboard all night. The filter could not filter the air between the head board and my face between each inhale. Although, a fan might have helped if I could have tolerated the wind on my face. Regardless, this filter is great for the MDF electric fireplace (since I don't put my face against that one), new sofa, new area rug , and new accent chairs (all in the living room), oh and new kitchen table and chairs and my new to me used MDF and pressboard desk located in my bedroom. Suggestion: Don't sell everything and start over. Just beg you mom for all of your grandmothers furnature (live and learn). But, these filters are a life saver! On high they are a bit loud. So after the initial air clearing phase, we now turn them down when we are in the room. We turn them on high when we are not using the room (eg living room when sleeping and bedroom when awake) and every time we leave the house. (FYI, before all of this new Furnature, I did not know about chemical sensativity. So, you might be more sensative than I. Still these are great for the appropriately sized room.)

I have a nice apartment, and my neighbor has a heavy pot smoking habit. This machine (cranked on high) will remove 90% + of pot smell leeching into my space. In my case, the smoke smell was seeping through the wall that divides our units. My neighbor does not share any ventilation ducts with me and is completely walled off. I tried (2) other Levoit air purifiers (300 and 400) before landing on this one. They were a joke and did not remove the smell. This unit, the Austin Healthmate Plus with 15lbs of activated carbon, actually works. I stuck it in the corner where the smell seeps in, and leave it on low or medium all the time. The unit is a bit loud on high, and the fan seems to "flutter" a bit on low/medium. If you are buying this, you care more about clean air than you do a very slight flutter in the acoustics. You are paying for the commercial quality air filter. This unit is powerful enough to clean all the air in my 1200 square foot space on medium. There is a noticeably neutral smell throughout the apartment if I leave it on high. When my neighbor is actively smoking and the machine is on medium, I can smell something slight. I then turn the machine on high and the smell goes away. If I turn the machine off I can start to smell it again within 5 minutes, so I know it works. I think this is the best tool to regain control of your air if you are struggling with a neighbor's smoke. Before I got this I was coughing/sneezing, and it was psychologically distressing since my bedroom is where the problem originates. Completely worth it in my opinion. Also, apparently the relative humidity in your space should not exceed 60%. Excess moisture will react with the potassium iodide impregnated carbon filter, and that will apparently reduce its life. Only the Healthmate PLUS has potassium iodide in the filter. I don't know how well this machine would handle direct smoke in the same space. Anyway, now I don't have to move, and I can think about something else besides what my neighbor is smoking.

Fantastic filtration system! This is the 2nd one I’ve owned and it removes odors fast! The 3 levels allows for faster odor elimination and it’s quiet at level 1 that I keep it running all the time.

I have really been struggling in my remodeled house with vocs. This IS the answer you are looking for if you are having a similar situation. It is life changing for those of us who are sensitive to vocs. Buy it! Buy it now!! HEPA filters alone will do nothing for vocs. Solid construction. Arrived on time. I just bought my second one. Will likely buy 3 total as I have a large house. Psychologically not suffering anymore is AMAZING! I named my first one Steve…. Big price, way bigger value!!

Extremely loud. There’s no way any can realistically use this in a modern apartment.
