Which Austin Air Is Right for Me?
Every Austin Air uses the same medical-grade HEPA and carbon filtration, a 360° steel body and a filter that lasts up to 5 years. The difference is room size and what you need to filter out. Start with your room, then your main concern.
Step 1: Pick your size
- Personal size (the "IT" Machine): a compact purifier for your own space, like a desk, dorm, bedside table or hotel room.
- Junior size (about 16.5" tall, 21 lbs): made for smaller spaces like a nursery, bedroom or home office. Austin Air doesn't recommend Juniors for larger rooms.
- Standard size (about 23" tall, 47 lbs): made for larger rooms and open living spaces. Bigger filters mean they clean well even on lower, quieter speeds.
Step 2: Pick your concern

Common questions
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes. Austin Air purifiers and replacement filters are HSA/FSA eligible. Choose Gale at checkout to pay with pre-tax HSA or FSA funds.
How often do I replace the filter?
Austin Air filters are designed to last up to 5 years under normal home use. Pets, smoke, new carpet or fresh paint can shorten that. A lingering odor or weaker airflow means it's time. The "IT" Machine's optional carbon wrap is the exception: plan to swap it about every 3 months. Shop replacement filters.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. All Standard units take any Standard filter, and all Junior units take any Junior filter. For example, you can turn a HealthMate into a HealthMate Plus just by swapping in the Plus filter when it's time to replace.
What if it's not right for me?
Every Austin Air comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, a 5-year mechanical warranty and a 5-year pro-rated filter warranty.
