Why is it unhealthy to buy a used Austin Air Healthmate 400HM

I am not sure why it would be unhealthy to buy a used Austin Healthmate 400HM. the filter lasts around 3 to 5 years. I think it would depend on how old the unit is and what it was used for and how frequent. I can say I bought a new one about a year ago and love it. It has helped with my MCS.

OTOH, I've been using mine for well over a year every single day. So long as you don't let the battery run to completely dead, you should have zero problem. As was said in the previous answer, no, the battery is not replaceable. I still hold my Healthmate Forever units are the best units on the market. I still use my old 8AB unit a great deal as well. Please see my prior review of the unit.

Interesting Question - that's why I bought the one I have. I was very surprised at the results. I have stood under high tension transmission lines and utility poles with a transformer and they are high enough to pose little problem. Some of the highest reading I encountered was the motor on my high efficiency water heater motor, computer scanner and printer power supplies, a bedroom alarm clock - but you virtually have to be hugging them - if you are a foot or two away, the levels are not dangerous. I believe getting a good unit is worthwhile, just to prove what is safe to yourself. I haven't encountered anything dangerous in my normal surroundings and activities and feel safe. Not to say there is nothing out there - need to avoid MRI, etc. Measure at a source and then a foot or so away. Good Luck - I encourage you to get one - you'll feel better knowing. Ron

I feel it is fairly safe, the quality of the product should be accurate to the description. You're paying what you think the item is worth. Some people have the ability to repair these devices so partially damaged items may be for sale. Just be thorough and take your time to read all the information about the product and you should be ok. :)

I would return it. Not only should they have advertised that it was open-box/refurbished, but they should have offered a healthy discount for it. There's no reason for anyone to pay full price for a used unit.

Honestly, I inspected mine and put it on for maybe a minute or two and decided it was a horrible investment. I work in critical care, and it was not at all what I'd hoped it would be. I would send you mine for just the cost of shipping, but I would still feel it would be a rip off for you.

I just looked on the Safety 1st website and this looks like it is a current model. The actual seller would be the one to contact about when it was manufactured, however. If you are worried you can always buy directly from Safety 1st. It is currently listed there for a few dollars more (probably plus shipping costs, as well). Or you could find a store to buy from.

I guess you did not read my review of the "Fresh Air" device. It is worthless and potentially harmful junk. If you want and/or need a reliable and safe air cleaning device then you ought to consult the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (aham.org) for a list of verified and certified air cleaning devices that actually work. As for your "Fresh Air" device, perhaps you might be able to sell it for a few bucks for its scrap metal value, or else use it as door stop. Sorry to hear that you got stuck with one.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yes, I'm afraid you did pay too much. Amazon has links to brand new ones for $149. I got a used one for $35 a while back. Honestly, I'm not even all that thrilled with the product. Since mine is used, it's possible it doesn't work quite right, but the fan barely blows air and the speakers don't make much difference in the sound or volume either. I was disappointed. Glad I only paid $35.

Because some people might not want to buy it after seeing it. You can see a picture of it here http://www.amazon.com/Str8-n-Up-Slouching-hunching-stress-reducer/dp/B007U8D5GQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1400774834&sr=8-3&keywords=str-8-n-up

I think the Minimate is stronger & I liked the grille on top that protected the emitter. But mine died after 12 hours, so I went to the airtamer for that reason. A year later the airtamer is going strong, & I have been in cars with very sick people while wearing & not gotten ill. Perfume isn't taken care of that well unless you put your nose right on it for a breath of "fresh" air.

I would not know exactly why, it may be because of the lab that made it, but one thing I sure about is that being a support for my health I don't take too much care about price. Tks

Was there a defect with the old ones??. I complained about my purchase, every other day I had to refill it with air. I wld not recommended buying.

The Flexcare Plus is expensive to own in the fact that it doesn't last. In my experience either the battery goes dead, or the stem to which you attach the toothbrush works itself loose and makes the Flexcare unusable. I would NOT spend good money on this short-lived device again. I can't speak for the Healthywhite however.

Hi Esther, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! The unit was designed for safety, so it should be sturdy when in use.
