<h1>Cat or Dog Hair Problem? Make Sure Your Pet Air Cleaner Has a Pre-Filter</h1>

Cat hair, dog hair and other animal hair floating around is never a good thing. And many people buy a pet air purifier to get rid of it, only to find that they are replacing filters every 2-3 months or sooner, which gets expensive. The problem is usually, that the air cleaner chosen does not have a pre-filter, which stops the larger hair and other dust or dander particles from prematurely clogging up the HEPA filter, restricting air flow. Many air purifier manufacturers sell a cheap unit, say it’s a good cat hair air filter, for example, but don’t include that all-important pre-filter, and that’s where they make their money on you—all the extra filters. These air purifier manufacturers aren’t ignorant to the importance of pre-filters, but they’re hoping that you are.

 

Well, sorry guys, but we’re telling everybody because it just isn’t right. Pet air cleaners, and any other air cleaner for matter, that doesn’t have a pre-filter will have prematurely clogged HEPA and carbon filters and much higher filter replacement costs. And about 65% of pet dander is in the larger particle range of 3-10 microns, which means that pet dander and hair will clog up a HEPA or carbon filter even faster than normal house dust. So, if you don’t want to be running up your credit card bill replacing filters for your pet air purifier, it’s best to choose a top-rated unit that includes pre-filters, and a few other key features.

Some of the very best pet hair removal purifiers that we’ve found are the Austin Pet Machine, Aller Air 5000 Vocarb, and the Winix 9500 Ultimate Pet Air Cleaner, all of which have a pre-filter, quality HEPA filters, and enough carbon to take care of pet odors, too. If the cat, dog or bird odors you have are pretty strong, we recommend the Pet Machine and 5000 Vocarb as most effective pet air cleaners for urine odors since they have a lot more carbon and remove odors very well. The Pet Machine and 5000 Vocarb also can handle 1500 square feet with one air cleaner, and the filters last 3-5 years.

 

To be fair, not all pet air cleaners with pre-filters are the same, either. For cat hair, dog hair or other animal hair, it’s best that the pre-filter be composed of an electrostatic woven material, as the electric charge created as air flows through helps the hair, dander, and other larger particle stick to the pre-filter better, which means less gets through to clog the HEPA filter. Aller Air and Austin air cleaners have this type of pre-filter. The Winix pre-filter is a good one, but not electrostatic. Another important feature to look for when deciding which pet air purifier to buy, is the output. For quick and effective continuous air cleaning, it’s best that the air purifier have an output of anywhere from 200-400 CFM, which means it will over 99% of the hair and other dander floating around in a room every 2-5 minutes.

Any CFM less than about 180-200 isn’t going to clean the air fast enough, and you’ll have to run the air cleaner on high most of the time, which will wear it out and increase your power bill. Again, the Pet Machine and 5000 Vocarb are best because they have an output of 400 CFM. The Winix WAC9500 is acceptable, too, at around 200 CFM, and it’s quite a bit cheaper.
