Austin Air Bedroom Machine HEPA Air Purifier HM402

The Austin Air Bedroom Machine True HEPA Air Purifier - HM402 is made for those with sleep quality issues caused by allergies, asthma, and other respiratory concerns. The Bedroom Machine Air Purifier was designed in collaboration with the National Sleep Foundation. In addition, it was selected in a Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health study on the interplay of asthma and bedroom air quality.

The Austin Air Bedroom Machine is an advanced air purifier designed for nighttime respiratory support, chemical sensitivities, and overall health, combining medical-grade HEPA filtration with unique military grade HEGA (High Efficiency Gas Adsorption) carbon cloth to remove ultrafine particles, chemicals, gases, VOCs, and airborne viruses, allowing for truly clean air throughout the night. Clinically proven and backed by extensive research from Johns Hopkins University Medical School, this unit is recommended by sleep experts and leading physicians for chronic respiratory or sleep issues and is tested and trusted by major medical institutions to help reduce respiratory symptoms and improve nighttime breathing and sleep quality, making the Bedroom Machine your best defense against air pollution that often goes unnoticed but impacts health the most while you sleep.

In particular, the Bedroom Machine brings all of Austin Air's advanced technology together in one unit. The main goal of this purifier is to help individuals experience a better, more regenerative, and undisturbed night's sleep from respiratory upsets triggered by poor air quality. Like all Austin Air's, this no-nonsense bedroom air purifier machine is simple (no electronic extras) yet very effective at doing what it's designed to do best. Which is simply removing abundant amounts of particulate matter, gaseous odors, chemical vapors, and harmful VOCs from indoor air.

Unmatched Filtration:

Superior Filtration of Particles, Gases, Odors & VOCs sets Austin Air HM402 apart! Most Austin Air Purifiers provide 4 stages of intense filtration, but the Bedroom Machine kicks it up a notch with a 5th stage, offering sleepers and those wanting improved air quality anywhere in the home the best that Austin Air has to offer. The dual stage virus and gas protection combines medical grade HEPA with military grade HEGA carbon cloth to not only trap but help deactivate viruses, bacteria, chemicals, and VOCs in your indoor air.

Specifically, like the HealthMate, the Bedroom Machine contains 60 square feet of True Medical-Grade HEPA Filter Material to trap submicron particles. This HEPA material is surrounded by 15 pounds of granulated carbon/zeolite. This granulated carbon/zeolite works to absorb odors, gases, formaldehyde, ammonia, and carbon monoxide. Furthermore, the specially made activated carbon is highly porous, producing a larger surface area that extends its performance. Finally, at the outer levels, two pre-filters block larger particles. One surrounds the carbon/zeolite filter, and the other wraps around the interior of the unit's housing.

Unique to the Bedroom Machine is its 5th & Final Filter Stage, A Military-Grade Carbon Cloth that has a higher capacity for absorbing a broader spectrum of odors, fumes, vapors, chemical substances, and harmful VOCs than the carbon/zeolite filter alone. In fact, the combination of these two filters is so powerful that the U.S. Government chose Austin Air to supply 20,000 air cleaners (equipped with just these two filtration stages) to protect residents of a small Alabama town from the potential of breathing in toxic fumes from gases that the Army Corps of Engineers was called in to incinerate.

No other air cleaner machine in its class can match the performance of the Bedroom Machine. It simply "out filters" all others. Austin Air backs this up by providing a 5-Year Manufacturer's Pro-Rated Filter Warranty, in addition to its 5-Year Manufacturer's Mechanical Warranty.

Superior Quality & Performance:

Austin Air Purifiers Offer Superior Performance. They process 250 cubic feet of air every minute (125 cubic feet for the junior models). Consequently, the air is drawn in from all sides of the unit via its 360° air intake. Here it immediately begins to be pulled through Austin's 4 and 5-stage filtration. This advanced filtration system quickly and efficiently removes dust, hair, fibers, odors, gases, VOCs, Radon daughters, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and other allergens and contaminants. The filter is designed to last up to 5 years under normal residential use, reducing replacement frequency and ongoing costs.

Austin Air Purifiers Boasts High-Velocity Airflow - 75-400 cfm for standard-size units, 50-200 cfm for junior sizes. This high-velocity airflow helps to quickly create a pocket of clean air around the user. When run on high with the door closed and assuming four air changes per hour, Austin Air Purifiers can clean a 465 sq ft room in 15-20 minutes (or a 480 sq ft room in 30-40 minutes for junior sizes).

Sleep Soundly with An Ultra-Quiet Austin Air. In general, Austin Air Purifiers produce 50-66 dBA (decibels) of noise, depending on the fan speed selected. However, customers report it to be very quiet on the lowest fan setting. Set at high, the sound approximates that of a normal conversation. Many customers use the high setting for quick or maximum air cleaning.

Nothing beats the Durability & Expert Manufacturing of Austin Air Machines. Each unit is built using 22-gauge welded steel that does not rattle or vibrate, even at max speed. Moreover, a powder-coated finish baked at 375°F does not off-gas and lends lasting durability to each model. Finally, standard-size models come equipped with heavy-duty casters for easy portability. Casters are also optionally available for Junior-size models.

Reap the benefits of Lower Energy Consumption by investing in an Austin Air Purifier! Austin Air Machines feature energy-efficient PSC motors, equipped with a centrifugal fan, for less energy use than some light bulbs. Specifically, electricity to run a standard-size unit at max draw (132 watts) should cost about 1.5 cents an hour, and about 1 cent an hour to run a junior-size unit at max draw (82 watts). This information is based on average residential electricity rates projected by the United States EIA for 2014-2015. Energy costs for each size will be less when run on the lower fan speeds.

Austin Air Purifiers are Proudly Made in the USA out of their 480,000 square-foot facility in Buffalo, New York - the largest air cleaner manufacturing facility in the world. While made on American soil, Austin Airs can be found helping people in homes throughout the world. Austin Airs are also used in hospitals and clinics and have even been called to national service by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. They have also assisted FEMA and the Red Cross in the aftermath of 9/11. When clean air is crucial, and lives depend on it, Austin Air remains the #1 choice.

Integrity Claims & Product Test Results show Austin Air is a top air purifier brand! In keeping with this, Austin Air believes in being straight with consumers about what its products can and cannot do. The company does not use private testing, but rather each air purifier undergoes tough government and third-party testing. The stringent standards of which must be met to ensure products perform as claimed. For example, wide-ranging product tests conducted by Battelle Laboratories (a well-respected testing laboratory for the Army Corps Engineers at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center) have included flow design and rate, as well as gas, odor, and sub-micron particle removal.

Austin Air Purifiers are Easy to Use and Low Maintenance! All Austin Air Purifiers come ready to be plugged in. Each unit comes with two filters - the outer pre-filter and the HEPA filter assembly. All models use a manual rotary dial to switch between 3 fan speeds - High (III), Medium (II), and Low (I). Austin Air Machines can be placed anywhere in a room but should be at least 4-8 inches from a wall for maximum effectiveness.

Austin Air Filters are Designed to Last Five Years, which saves on the hassle and cost of frequent filter replacements. If filters do need to be replaced, the process is straightforward and should take only a few minutes. Although the bottom cover must be removed using a Phillips-head screwdriver (4 screws), filters just lift out for easy replacement. The outer surface of the units need only be vacuumed monthly to remove dust particles that may accumulate on the exterior air intake grilles.

Austin Air was founded in 1990 in Buffalo, New York by a husband trying to help his wife find relief from lifelong asthma symptoms, which he did with the Austin Air HealthMate. Today, Austin Air continues to operate out of Buffalo, and husband (now president) Richard Taylor and crew continue to build air purifiers with a "family first" mentality, knowing that cleaner air can benefit all those affected by respiratory issues.
