Austin Air Allergy Machine - Replacement Filters
The Austin Air Allergy Machine (HM405) is designed for allergy and asthma sufferers who are looking for a comprehensive air cleaning solution for medium-sized spaces. It effectively removes many common allergens and asthma irritants (e.g., pollen, dust, mould spores, pet dander), as well as other harmful airborne pollutants, chemicals and gases. In addition to its standard HEPA filter, the Austin Air Allergy Machine uses an exclusive HEGA (High Efficiency Gas Absorption) filtration system incorporating technology originally developed by the military for use against chemical warfare. The military carbon cloth in the HEGA filter has a larger carbon surface area, making this air purifier ideal for controlling tobacco smoke. It is also less susceptible to clogging from use in damp or humid environments, making the Austin Air Allergy Machine a perfect choice for handling mould issues in mid-size spaces. As an added bonus, the HEGA filtration system makes this air purifier extremely lightweight – a full 10 pounds lighter than the Austin Air HealthMate.
The Austin Air Allergy Machine features a Permafilt pre-filter that is designed to be easily vacuumed from the outside of the unit, making this air purifier simple to maintain and eliminating costly 3-month pre-filter changes. The Austin Air Allergy Machine uses a combined medical-grade HEPA and military activated carbon cloth filter that only needs to be replaced once every five years. Unlike granular carbon, the woven carbon cloth used in this air purifier does not release any carbon dust as air passes through it. The Austin Air Allergy Machine also features a perforated 23 gauge steel, 360 degree air intake housing with over 5 square feet of intake area for exceptional air gathering capability, three fan speed settings, and a louvered air flow output directed to one side from the upper deck.
The Austin Air Allergy Machine is perfect for humid or damp environments such as kitchens and basement areas (e.g., rec rooms, game rooms, dens and bedrooms), as well as plant rooms, greenhouses and nurseries. It is also an ideal choice for those who wish to operate an air purifier at a lower fan speed to minimize noise while maintaining high effectiveness. With a baked-on powder-coated finish and four colours to choose from, this unit blends easily into almost any décor.

“I must say that I'm impressed with the Austin Air Allergy Machine I purchased two weeks ago. The Austin air purifier has made a significant difference in the quality of air in my home, especially in this climate when the house is closed up for the better part of the year. After experiencing the Allergy Machine and the wonderful job it is doing, I thought that an Austin Air Baby’s Breath would be a great gift for my daughter who is expecting in April, my first grandchild.”
J. Spooner, Edmonton, AB
“We have affectionately named our Austin Air Allergy Machine “Austin.” He (Austin) has really helped us. To make a very long story short, our apartment has a mold problem, and we are not able to move until later in the year. Austin has helped us to continue functioning in the interim. As an added bonus, my mild spring allergies were almost non-existent this spring. We are very happy with our purchase!”

“I have had my Austin Air Allergy Machine for a week now, and there has been a considerable improvement in the air quality in our home. Love it.”
