Austin Air HEPA Filters contain the highest amount of activated carbon in them out of all other brands. In comparason many store bought HEPA filters have only 1/50 the amount of activated carbon in them.

Austin Air True HEPA filters are cheaper to operate than most other HEPA filters because of it's 5 year warranty on the main HEPA filter cartridge.

All Austin Air air filters feature double filtration power for full air quality protection. 
The HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Arresting) filter was developed by the U.S. government to protect scientists from radioactive airborne particles.

The HEPA air filter removes 99.97% of harmful particles, including dust, mold spores, dust mites, pet dander and other troublesome allergens.

Austin Air HEPA's will clean the air in a target area such as a bedroom or family room where air quality may require special attention. 

Using HEPA filtration they remove 99.97% of all particulates 0.3 microns and large VOC carbon filters remove harmful V.O.C.'s (Volatile Organic Compounds) which are gases that come from house-hold chemicals and synthetic materials. 

The powerful variable speed fans are quiet and energy efficient.
Austin Air HEPA filters run virtually maintenance free for years. 

Gases and odors are eliminated by a combination of activated carbon and natural zeolite. This stage of filtration removes some of the most dangerous substances that can be found in the home environment including formaldehyde, and other dangerous volatile chemicals. 

Ionizers electronically glue 90% of the bacteria in the air to all the surfaces in the room. In our opinion the use of an ionizer that claims to "remove" dust actually makes an area  MORE UNSAFE because the bacteria level will constantly be increasing.  Even those ionizers that claim to collect the dust on rods or grids are only grabbing about 5% of the dust in the air.  The rest is "electronically glued" to your walls, floor, and ceiling. It does NOT all just "drop to the floor" as some may claim. One popular consumer magazine states that: "Ionics do little to clean the air. They do a poor job of removing smoke, dust, and pollen particles from the air  If you own one, try returning it for a refund!" Ionizers make the air smell fresh and clean, and the air may even have less dust in it, but it's foolish to ever use an ionizer because in the long run the dust and bacteria count will INCREASE in your home. It's a short term solution that creates a greater long term problem.

Many people are wary of buying a HEPA filter for dust control because they have had a bad experience with a store bought air filter.  The problem with most store bought filters is that they are simply too small.  They have only small amounts of air filtering carbon in them and low CFM (cubic feet per minute) fan speeds.

Although some filters might be rated for a room size of 400 sq.ft it doesn't hurt to use a HEPA filter with a larger sq.ft rating. It will filter more dust, and do so more efficiently.
If the filter has a larger fan it will naturally "grab" more dust, pollen, and pet dander out of the air than a filter with a much smaller CFM fan.

Austin Air HEPA filtration units are more cost effective than those sold in stores because store bought models require 3 or 4 expensive HEPA  filter cartridge changes per year. 
At $75.00 to $100.00 per replacement filter cartridge the initial saving of the store bought model can be lost within the first year of use.

After a years time it is evident that a true hospital grade Austin Air HEPA filter actually costs less thank the cheaper, less effective, store bought models.

Most store bought HEPA filters have fans with a much lower CFM (cubic feet per minute).
That means they just can't filter the air as well as a larger filter like the Austin Air that moves more air through them.

Store bought air filters have only a fraction of the filtering carbon medium than our Austin Air HEPA filters. Typical store bought filters have a fraction of a pound of activated charcoal while Austin's have either 6.5 lb.. or 15 lb.. of activated carbon in them.

The Austin Air's main HEPA  filter cartridge is warranted for 5 years.  It also contains an additional Pre Filter which collects 90% of the dust saving the true HEPA for the more serious work. 
 

For removing larger particles of dust and dander a Austin Air HEPA filter is much more effective than an ionizer. Austin Air HEPA filters collect the dust and dander rather than just pushing around the room as an ionizer does so that it does not become airborne again.

Austin Air HEPA Filters capture dust mites.
