Austin Air Baby's Breath Air Purifier Review by: Danny D (Worcester, MA) "We got the Austin Air Baby's Breath air purifier about 9 months ago for the nursery because our newborn is prone to colds and allergies. After a few days we noticed an improvement in our baby's sleeping. She's not crying so much anymore and doesn't have nearly as many runny noses as before. It doesn't keep her awake either but it does have a slight..."

Description of Austin Air Baby's Breath Air Purifiers
Every responsible parent wants to make sure that their babies sleep in the most healthy, clean environment possible, since the infants immune systems are less developed than adults. The Baby's Breath by Austin Air will ensure your child's bedroom is free of a number of household allergens and contaminants which could affect your child's health. These air purifiers are childproof and their easy maintenance means they will be there to provide your child with pure air for many years. The Baby's Breath purification systems are specifically designed to fit in your child's bedroom with their compact size and unique coloring of baby blue or light pink.
The Austin Baby's Breath uses High Efficiency Gas Absorption (HEGA) filtration along with true HEPA filtration to remove a wide variety of airborne contaminates that can affect a baby's delicate respiratory system. The Baby's Breath's comprehensive level of filtration and baby blue or pink color makes this unit ideal for a nursery.
Pluses:
Simple in design with a focus on comprehensive filtration. The Austin Air Baby’s Breath air purifier’s HEGA filtration design is good for smoke, gas and odor removal because the last stage of filtration is an activated carbon cloth that is the same quality as those used by the military and hospitals. The carbon cloth does not produce dust, therefore making it efficient for the air to pass through the HEPA filter first, capturing the particles and allowing the carbon cloth to absorb more gas because it is not getting plugged up with particles.
Long lasting filters and minimal maintenance. We were initially impressed that the only maintenance required was to replacing the filter every 5 years and periodically vacuum the large pre-filter from outside the unit. After quite a few years of personal experience with the Austin Air air purifiers, we can report that when running them constantly 24/7, a more realistic life expectancy for the filter is 2 to 4 years, with the carbon becoming saturated before the HEPA filter. None the less, the filter is supported by a 5 year prorated guarantee.
The Austin Air Baby’s Breath air purifier has a superior steel construction with a baked-on powder coat finish. This makes it a good, safe choice to avoid plastic off-gassing.
Austin Air’s reputation is excellent and they have been in business for many years and stand behind their product with a 5 year warranty on parts and labor. They are also one of the only manufacturer’s to offer a 5 year pro-rated guarantee on their filters!
The Austin Air Baby’s Breath air purifier is a great value choice offering high efficiency, comprehensive air filtration with low maintenance and costs. It’s a small price to pay to keep your new loved one safe and healthy as they grow and develop.
Minuses:
Austin Air overstates the room coverage of the Baby’s Breath air purifiers at 700 sq. ft. Our testing team evaluated the actual delivered CFM of the Baby’s Breath air purifier on high speed and calculated a recommended room size of 156 sq. ft. to achieve 6 air changers per hour.
The Austin Air Baby’s Breath air purifier is noisy on the high speed, and our reviewers agreed this speed is best suited for quick cleaning a room, like before you put baby down for a nap. The medium speed is a good choice if some background white noise is desired to drown out other sounds that could wake the baby. The low speed produces a low hum and is good for noise-sensitive sleepers.
The Austin Air Baby’s Breath air purifier does not have a filter change indicator so you have to keep track of how long the filters have been in use and periodically check them. We suggest writing a date on the filter to help keep track of how long they have been in use. It is all too easy to forget or lose track of the filter's life over a period of 5 year.
Replacing the filters is not a 60 second job. In order to access the filters, the air purifier must be turned upside down and the bottom plate removed. The bottom plate is attached by 4 screws so a screw driver is required to change the filters.
Summary:
The Austin Air Baby's Breath air purifier is a great value choice that delivers complete filtration. With it's baby blue or pink color choice, the Austin Air Baby's Breath air purifier is best suited for use in a baby's nursery or a child's room. It is a great no-frills, durable air cleaner with the ability to remove high levels of particulates like dust, smoke, pet dander, bacteria, mold, as well as chemicals, gases, and odors that are harmful to a child's developing respiratory and immune system.
