Have a Austin Jr for years, great but not cheap. Recently bought a Levoit Vital 200S-P for another part of the house, very good right out of the box...very happy with the purchase.
We have the Healthate too (for eight years) and have had to replace the filter once while running it 24/7. The filter is expensive, but it’s incredibly effective and obviously long lasting. The machine is also very simple, so it will last. Just a simple fan and a knob to control the speed.
I can name two!
The AustinAir HEPAs are basically a big metal box with a motor. The plastic in it is the squirrel cage fan itself and maybe the speed dial cover?
Same for the SmarterHEPA (outside the US Smart Air) Blast and Blast Mini models. They again are a big metal box with close to zero plastic outside the fan itself.
Of course even the motor will have plastic covering the wires or things like that. And the power cord has a plastic coating so nothing these days will be 100% plastic free but these two models are very close. Also both of them are really great HEPA filters! Basically no ‘features’ to either, just a big box with a fan and a speed dial. I had the AustinAir for like 30 years running 24/7.
