Know before you buy
The HealthMate is designed to cover areas up to 1,500 square feet, making it suitable for large living spaces, open-concept floor plans, or multiple connected rooms.
Yes, the unit contains 15 pounds of activated carbon and zeolite, which are highly effective at adsorbing household odors, gases, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that standard HEPA filters often miss.
The unit features a 3-speed fan. While the high setting is powerful for rapid air exchange, the low setting is designed for quiet operation, making it suitable for use while sleeping.
The filter is designed for a long lifespan and typically only needs to be replaced every 3 to 5 years, depending on your local air quality and usage habits.
The unit weighs 47 pounds and is constructed from durable steel. While it is sturdy and stable, it is intended to be a floor-standing unit that stays in one place rather than one you move frequently between rooms.
The steel construction is very low-maintenance. You can simply wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth as needed to remove dust from the intake vents.
