  I’m disappointed with this unit. It’s too loud for the bedroom even on the lowest setting. I think the filtration is good, but too loud. It’s gotta be more than the db rating it’s published under. In fact, it’s loud for any room in the house. Maybe I got a defective unit, but I don’t think so.

  I bought this product at [...] , but wanted to share my feedback in this forum. It has dramaitcally increased the “breatheability” of my air. I suffer from MCS, astham, and severe allergies, and the use of this product has helped tremendously…and even allowed me to reduce the amount of medication I take! It has already paid for itself!

  Austin Air Healthmate Jr is missing UV LIght to kill bacteria filtered from the air, ozone to kill airborne viruses and negative ion output. All it has is a medical grade HEPA filter. The filter will need to be replaced before the 5 years it is supposed to last and it will SMELL when the filter gets clogged. I did the research AFTER I bought a Healthmate Jr unfortunately. Also when you buy this bulky item, ask them about a restocking fee and return shipping. Buying and returning one could easily leave you $50-60 dollars poorer. There are better, more advanced, cheaper air filters out there. I now have 2 Multi-Tech 2 XJ3000D air filters and I love them!!

  Allergies, along with issues from the four pets, created a significant breathing problem. Someone suggested this purchase, and I was skeptical but was in desperate need of relief. An air purifier has made all the difference in my ability to breathe. I only have one for the bedroom, but will get one in the future for the downstairs, too. The company I used to order, Best Filters, was also quite accommodating. Austin sent the wrong color, but BF corrected the problem immediately (within two hours of my email) arranging for the correct color, and then easy pick up of the other unit. I would highly recommend both!

  I have owned a healthmate junior air purifier for a number of years now. Frankly I can say that it was not worth the money. I bought the filter due to the “warranty” on the main filter. What a joke! After getting a new filter 6 months ago the air coming out smells terrible. When I spoke to Austin Air they informed me that they would sell me a new filter for 50% off. Are you kidding me? I just replaced it and they are asking me to spend even more money with them??
  Bottom line, there are MANY other higher rated air cleaners out there that cost much less money and that are more reliable. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.

  I have a border collie mix and german shepard mix, it used to take an hr each week to comb each dog in order to keep the shedding down. This dryer combine with the shedding tool knocked the time to less then half and it does a much better job. The pointed nozzle blow all the flakes and loose hair off with so much ease, its a real back saver! I highly, highly recommend this…..

  I love this blower. I just bought a second one for my weekend house. I blow off my furry dog every other day and dry him with this after baths or rainy walks. He gets dusty after a few days, but this blower ends that. This would be great for people who are allergic to dog dander. Just blow it away. I just wish my wife’s cats would keep still so I could blow off their loose fur My dog actually looks forward to me using this on him. He runs to me when I turn it on.
  I even use it to blow the dust out of the car seats. When my wife is away, I use it to dust the house! They sell the same blower as a motorcycle dryer.

  I am very happy with this product. It has 2 speed settings which is nice to acclimate the dog to the sound/force. The lower setting does take longer to dry the dog, but for dogs with less undercoat (or are nervous) this setting is fine.

  The air comes out cool, and warms a bit over time. The true “drying” comes from blowing the water off the dog. I use this for dog shows and after normal baths and I am very happy with the results. I have a medium coated dog with a dense undercoat and it takes about 15 minutes to dry out my dog’s coat which usually takes hours to air dry or 45+ min with a hair dryer. My dog has even learned to enjoy this time. He will lean into the air when it hits “the spot”.

  In the soggy Northwest, speed is of the essence when drying a long-haired Belgian Tervueren twice a day. This dryer is fast and not obnoxiously loud. Although my generally jumpy, anxious Terv doesn’t love it, he is not having a total freak-out during use, which means we keep it. On “just damp” days we still use a regular hair-dryer. But after a real downpour the Commander 3 is the tool of choice. One caveat: the air comes out cold to begin with, so don’t aim it at your dog’s feet; in fact, just wait a minute (on high) for the motor to gently warm the air before starting on the dog. There is no heated air, but it does lose that icy chill after a minute or so. Recommended.

  This product arrived in a timely manner, and it works well. I find it works wonderfully to blow the coats of my angora rabbits. It keeps them from matting and gets rid of any debri they might have collected prior to shearing. Well well for my dogs too. This is the second one I have owned and I would hate to be without one.
