Neighbors pot smoke seeping into your space? This is the solution.
I have a nice apartment, and my neighbor has a heavy pot smoking habit. This machine (cranked on high) will remove 90% + of pot smell leeching into my space. In my case, the smoke smell was seeping through the wall that divides our units. My neighbor does not share any ventilation ducts with me and is completely walled off. I tried (2) other Levoit air purifiers (300 and 400) before landing on this one. They were a joke and did not remove the smell. This unit, the Austin Healthmate Plus with 15lbs of activated carbon, actually works. I stuck it in the corner where the smell seeps in, and leave it on low or medium all the time. The unit is a bit loud on high, and the fan seems to “flutter” a bit on low/medium. If you are buying this, you care more about clean air than you do a very slight flutter in the acoustics. You are paying for the commercial quality air filter.This unit is powerful enough to clean all the air in my 1200 square foot space on medium. There is a noticeably neutral smell throughout the apartment if I leave it on high. When my neighbor is actively smoking and the machine is on medium, I can smell something slight. I then turn the machine on high and the smell goes away. If I turn the machine off I can start to smell it again within 5 minutes, so I know it works.I think this is the best tool to regain control of your air if you are struggling with a neighbor’s smoke. Before I got this I was coughing/sneezing, and it was psychologically distressing since my bedroom is where the problem originates. Completely worth it in my opinion. Also, apparently the relative humidity in your space should not exceed 60%. Excess moisture will react with the potassium iodide impregnated carbon filter, and that will apparently reduce its life. Only the Healthmate PLUS has potassium iodide in the filter. I don’t know how well this machine would handle direct smoke in the same space. Anyway, now I don’t have to move, and I can think about something else besides what my neighbor is smoking.

I named mine because I love it so much.
I have really been struggling in my remodeled house with vocs. This IS the answer you are looking for if you are having a similar situation. It is life changing for those of us who are sensitive to vocs. Buy it! Buy it now!! HEPA filters alone will do nothing for vocs. Solid construction. Arrived on time. I just bought my second one. Will likely buy 3 total as I have a large house. Psychologically not suffering anymore is AMAZING! I named my first one Steve…. Big price, way bigger value!!

Fast, Noticeable Improvement
Let’s face it. This is pricey. But if you need SVOC and VOC cleanup, this works. It made a noticeable difference in the air when I needed it. Without it, my chest was burning. With it, I felt much better. Amazon’s return policy is good for this, better than if one buys it elsewhere. That gave me the confidence to try it, and I’m glad I did.

Relief
Works for weed smell! I loved it in the past and don’t mind it when I smell it outside but the smell of weed has been coming in my house and I can’t get rid of it. I was thinking of moving but spending this much money on an air purifier was totally worth it. I have another air purifier that didn’t take care of it so this is definitely the one! Grateful

Does not stop incoming second-hand cigarette smoke smell in real-time
I moved to a rental end unit townhouse because of my condo (which I still own) having nuisance second-hand smoke from a renter. Well, I purchased this air purifier because the rental unit, while smoke-free initially, started to have tobacco smoke coming into it about two weeks ago. Other air purifiers which I bought here on Amazon helped mitigate the smoke after the next-door smoking has ceased but not keeping up with it while the smoke is coming through the townhouse walls. “Gemini” and “ChatGPT” AIs both steered me towards this product citing the activated charcoal volume and chemical additives. But, as I write, while this “Austin Air HealthMate Plus Purifier” is running behind me on full speed, the new cigarette smoke smell, I can clearly smell. With tax this cost me about $906 US dollars. I wonder if they will let me return it. It does not seem to be able to keep up with the smell. It arrived on time without damage. It is heavy. But I managed to move it a stair or two at a time up to my second floor level living area. Frankly, my lesser quantity activated charcoal filter air purifiers seemed about the same with managing the incoming smoke smell. To say that I am disappointed is to put it mildly. Perhaps the company can rectify this.

They Don’t Build ’em Like This Anymore
Initial subjective impressions — does a great job at scrubbing dust and allergens from the air. Squeaky clean. Jury’s still out on odors, can’t tell yet either way. To that end…. Pros: 1) Heavy-duty, all powder-coated steel construction. 2) Simple design. It’s got a simple mechanical switch for speed control, and a ball-bearing motor driving the impeller. 3) The filter canisters are BEEFY, also fully steel construction, with a serious gasket sealing both ends of the barrel. 4) Outside of the generous warranty period, Austin Air will repair any of their units for a $90 flat rate. 5) While the pre-filter is replaceable separately, when any part of the multi-stage filter can becomes saturated — the whole assembly needs replacing, which is fine. Austin does offer a pro-rated discount on filter replacements, so it’s hard to complain about that. 6) No stupid app, WiFi or “smart” features! It’s an air-cleaner, and that’s it! 7) Made in the USA. Cons: 1) Price. Despite building these with US labor, it’s hard to see how such a simple machine costs quite so much, but I digress. 2) Size. These things are about the size of a tall mini-fridge. 3) Quite loud on any setting other than low. 4) Power hungry. Final thought — it’s my understanding Austin Air has been building effectively this same machine for decades now, with only minor enhancements to the filter media package. Advancements in motor efficiency, and turbine /fan blade tech have come a long way since then. These units could easily be made quieter, and to use less power. It would be nice if Austin were to not only roll upgrades into new-build air purifiers, but offer existing owners an upgrade program as well.

Extremely loud. There’s no way any can realistically use this in a modern apartment.
