Austin Air "it" — Compact Personal Medical-Grade HEPA Air Purifier
The Austin Air "it" is a compact, personal Medical-Grade HEPA air purifier built to clean the air in your immediate space—a desk, nightstand, RV, or travel setup. Its Medical-Grade HEPA is certified to capture 99.97% of airborne particles at 0.3 microns and 99% at 0.1 microns—including dust, pollen, pet dander, and bacteria- and virus-sized particles. It's built in powder-coated steel (not plastic), weighs just 12 lbs, uses ozone-free filtration, and is made in the USA. An optional VOC Carbon Wrap adds odor and light chemical control.
How the "it" filters your air
Air is drawn in through a 360° intake and passes through a pre-filter and then a genuine Medical-Grade HEPA filter, which traps fine particles down to 0.1 microns. Because it's purely mechanical filtration, there's no ozone and no ionization—just clean air. Choose the standard HEPA with Pre-Filter configuration, or the HEPA with VOC Carbon Wrap to add a layer of activated carbon for odors and light chemical exposure. It's whisper-quiet and designed to run continuously right in your personal breathing zone.

Frequently asked questions
How much area does the "it" cover?
The "it" is designed for personal, close-range use—your desk, nightstand, or the seat next to you—rather than a whole room. For full-room coverage, step up to a HealthMate.
What's the VOC Carbon Wrap option?
The standard "it" filters particles with Medical-Grade HEPA and a pre-filter. The VOC Carbon Wrap adds a layer of activated carbon around the filter for odors and light chemical exposure. The wrap is replaced roughly every 3 months; the HEPA lasts up to 5 years.
Does it give off ozone?
No. The "it" uses ozone-free mechanical filtration—no ionization—so it's safe to run right beside you.
Is it good for travel?
Yes. At 12 lbs with an all-steel build, it's compact enough for RVs, hotel rooms, and moving between rooms.
