Airborne transmission is the primary way common viruses spread, such as the flu, the common cold, and COVID-19. An individual infected with any of these viruses can expel it into the atmosphere, increasing the concentration of the virus in the air and, consequently, the risk of infection to those nearby. 


Viruses ranging from the everyday cold, flu, or COVID-19 can be daunting, but we have solutions. Institutions like the CDC, WHO, and EPA advocate using air purifiers with HEPA and Carbon filters as the optimal defense against indoor viral spread.

The Austin Air Bedroom Machine® captures and destroys airborne viruses

For those particularly concerned about COVID-19, the Austin Air Bedroom Machine™ is our top recommendation. While all our models utilize Medical Grade HEPA technology that effectively eliminates up to 99% of airborne viruses, the Bedroom Machine® offers an added shield. Its HEGA carbon cloth not only captures but also neutralizes airborne viruses.

Other commendable choices include the Austin Air HealthMate® and HealthMate Plus®. Equipped with HEPA technology, they excel in eradicating airborne viruses, bacteria, and other contaminants from the environment.
