When clean air is critical and lives depend on it, Austin Air remains the #1 choice.

Where should I place my Austin Air cleaner for maximum effectiveness?
- We recommend that your Austin Air cleaner be placed in your bedroom. As we sleep our body regenerates. To do this, our immune system must eliminate all the contaminants we were exposed to the previous day, while also handling the added airborne impurities in the bedroom.
By having the air cleaner in the bedroom as you sleep, you remove this extra burden on your immune system, giving your body a chance to completely repair itself. Furthermore, it just makes sense as the average person will spend up to 30% of their life in the bedroom.
How should my Austin Air cleaner be positioned in a room?
- The Austin Air cleaner should be placed at least 4 inches from the wall, allowing air to be freely drawn into all sides of the air cleaner. This will ensure maximum efficiency and performance.
