Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I bought an Austin about two years ago and like it. I like the sound it makes. You can hear it. If you want silence, you may not like it. However to me it makes a soothing wooshing sound that I like to sleep with. In my small apartment it makes it smell slightly sweet. In my house it didn't but apt is very much smaller size. The smell is pleasant to me. I also get sweet smell from activated charcoal masks. I don't know if activated charcoal smells sweet to everyone but it does to me. I figured it would have no smell at all, eliminate smells and air smell would be 'blank' but perhaps my sensation of odor has changed and I pick up smells I didn't use to pick up or they have changed after mold exposure. Carbon tetrachloride I read has a sweet smell so perhaps they are related. I bought the model that is for chemical sensitivies too. It has activated charcoal and zeolite in it. Anyway, I like it and would purchase it over again if I needed one again. I believe , moderator here, has one also. > > A very long thread ran on air purifiers a while back.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Barb, hasn't gotten one yet. boohoo I will be though within the next few weeks. I need 3 and wanted to get them all at the same time so have been saving. As you know I need to do the whole house (apartment soon to be-so that's why I am getting 3-gotta make sure the apartment is safe at all times) I don't really think they are noisy. But, then I am used to the ones I have that are VERY loud. But, my kids can't sleep now without the noise, so will probably have to run a fan as the Austin are much quieter than ours. It won't feel like a jet is taking off any longer. hehehe You are right. They do smell nice. To me it is a clean smell. Kinda lifts my spirits each I visit the store they are being used in. Waiting to get these is like anticipating the birth of a child. It can't happen fast enough. LOL Don't forget to go to this site http://www.ioniczone.com/austin-air-healthmate-plus-s/59.htm do the " e-mail me a better price. " The guy over here says he'll honor the price because I am a customer and he said " oh I'll beat any price you find. " (Then wished he hadn't said that-after I told him the price-hehe) Maybe your retailer will honor the price, if this company says they ship w/in a couple of days. Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Barb & , Of the people I have met along the way who grew up in the South with fans, they too would talk about how they can't fall asleep without a fan going. I will see if I can find any retailers that carry Austins so I can hear what it sounds like. Thank you for the feedback.
