Austin Air HealthMate Junior — Compact 4-Stage Medical HEPA + Carbon Air Purifier
The Austin Air HealthMate Junior packs Austin Air's proven 4-stage filtration into a smaller cabinet for bedrooms, nurseries, apartments, and small living spaces up to ~700 sq ft. It uses the same approach as the full-size HealthMate—large and medium pre-filters, 6.5+ lbs of activated carbon and zeolite, and 30 sq ft of True Medical-Grade HEPA—capturing fine particles down to 0.3 microns while helping reduce everyday gases and odors. At just 21 lbs in an all-steel cabinet, it's easy to move from room to room.
How the 4-stage filtration works
Air is drawn in through a 360° perforated-steel intake and passes through four stages. Stage 1, a large-particle pre-filter, catches dust, hair, and pet dander. Stage 2, a medium-particle pre-filter, captures mold spores and pollen. Stage 3 is 6.5+ lbs of activated carbon and zeolite that adsorbs household gases and odors. Stage 4 is 30 sq ft of True Medical-Grade HEPA, certified to capture 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns and 99% at 0.1 microns—dust, pollen, dander, smoke, and allergens. A 3-speed motor keeps it quiet enough for a bedroom or nursery.

Frequently asked questions
How is the Junior different from the full-size HealthMate?
It uses the same 4-stage filtration in a smaller cabinet—30 sq ft of HEPA and 6.5+ lbs of carbon instead of 60 sq ft and 780+ cu in—so it's sized for rooms up to ~700 sq ft rather than ~1,500.
How big a space does it cover?
Up to ~700 sq ft. In a smaller room it cycles the air more times per hour for faster particle removal.
How often do the filters need changing?
Austin Air rates the filter for up to 5 years (backed by a pro-rated 5-year filter warranty). Actual life depends on your air quality and usage.
Does it give off ozone?
No. The HealthMate Junior is purely mechanical HEPA-and-carbon filtration—no ozone and no ionization.
