Austin Air - Air Cleaners - Made in the USA
Austin Air Cleaners – Made in the USA Air Purifiers for Superior Indoor Air Quality
Austin Air has been handcrafting premium air cleaners and air purifiers in Buffalo, New York since 1990. Their durable, steel-cased units were trusted by the Red Cross and FEMA after 9/11 and continue to deliver medical-grade performance that far exceeds most consumer air purifiers.
Every Austin Air cleaner features a powerful multi-stage filtration system:
- Pre-filters capture large particles such as dust, hair, and pet dander
- Up to 15 pounds of activated carbon and zeolite blend that aggressively adsorbs gases, VOCs, formaldehyde, ammonia, odors, and wildfire smoke
- True medical-grade HEPA rated to capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns — including pollen, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and sub-micron allergens
- No ozone produced — safe for continuous 24/7 use, even while sleeping
Built with heavy-gauge steel and powder-coated finishes (no cheap off-gassing plastics), these units are engineered to last decades. Filter replacements are simple and cost-effective, typically lasting up to 5 years in normal residential use — dramatically lowering your long-term ownership cost compared to units with short-lived filters.
Ideal for:
- Allergy and asthma relief
- Homes with pets
- Wildfire smoke seasons (especially relevant in California)
- Chemical sensitivities or new construction off-gassing
- Bedrooms, living rooms, offices, classrooms, and larger open spaces up to 1,500 sq ft

These cleaners use a 4-stage filter containing only the best proven filter mediums for cleaning the air. In every Austin Air cleaner, you will find Medical Grade HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) and Activated Carbon addressing the most serious household airborne contaminants. Only trusted technology used in hospitals and operating rooms will be found in Austin Air Cleaners.
Unlike air cleaners that use electrostatic-precipitation or ionic generation, the Austin Air cleaners do NOT emit any by-products such as toxic ozone. The Austin Air cleaner produces nothing but clean air.
They are extremely easy to use. Every Austin Air cleaner features a 3-speed centrifugal fan offering a low, medium or high-speed setting.
The only maintenance required will be to occasionally vacuum the 4 sides of the air cleaner to remove larger dust particles. Austin Air filters are designed to last up to 5-years under normal residential use, so you won’t be bothered with frequent filter replacements.
The Austin Air cleaner energy use will cost less than a penny (0.7cents) per hour on average. The maximum draw is 135 watts on the highest setting and uses an ordinary 120-volt outlet. Please the cleaner at least 4 inches from the wall, allowing air to be freely drawn into all sides of the air cleaner. This will ensure maximum efficiency and performance. These r cleaners were designed and built for continuous use. In fact, the manufacturer encourages customers to leave their air cleaner on at all times to achieve the healthiest living environment possible.
We recommend that your cleaner be placed in your bedroom. As we sleep our body regenerates. To do this, our immune system must eliminate all the contaminants we were exposed to the previous day, while also handling the added airborne impurities in the bedroom.
By having the air cleaner in the bedroom as you sleep, you remove this extra burden on your immune system, giving your body a chance to completely repair itself. Furthermore, it just makes sense, as the average person will spend up to a third of their life in the bedroom.
Maintenance: Periodic (once per month) vacuuming of the four sides of the outside screen is recommended. This is the only regular maintenance required for your purifier.
Made in the USA. Most of the parts come from the US, but some components are manufactured in Canada.
