Buying the right pet air cleaner can be tough, mainly because there are a lot of details and every pet air cleaner manufacturer thinks theirs is the best. That’s why we did our own review of three and researched customer reviews on three units, for all the important things about a pet air cleaner–dander & hair removal, odor control, filter life, room size coverage, noise level and price. Each category has a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the best. Here’s what we found:
First Place: Austin Pet Machine Price: $594
Dander & Hair: 5 Odor Control: 4.6 Filter Life: 5 Room Size: 5 Noise: 4 Price: 4 Overall: 4.6/5
This unit performed best overall according to our test results and customer reviews, removing over 99% of particles 0.3 microns and over 95% of particles 0.1 to 0.299 microns--a great bird or cat dust air purifier. Filter life is a solid 4-5 years, which is exceptional for a true HEPA and activated carbon filter to last that long. Room size coverage was also very good, covering up to 1500 square feet with the unit on medium high to high. Noise was acceptable and not very noticeable at medium to medium low speeds. High speed did make the unit noticeably louder, but you normally don’t leave an air cleaner on high for very long, usually only a few minutes to clear out an area, etc. Price is reasonable considering the substantial air filtration power, long filter life, and 5 year warranty. The Austin Pet Machine has been highly rated over and over and proven in testing as one of the most effective pet odor air purifiers.

Second Place: Winix U450 Signature Series Air Purifier Price: $369
Dander & Hair: 5 Odor Control: 3.9 Filter Life: 4 Room Size: 4 Noise: 4 Price: 5 Overall: 4.31/5
This air purifier is one of the best values on the market, edging out the popular Blueair 203 by few points as a great pet hair remover—but with some other distinct advantages, creating excellent customer reviews that matched our test results. The filters are very effective for removing over 99% of pet dander, hair, dust and other particles as well as odors, and they include a pre-filter (which extends the life of the main HEPA and carbon filters) plus healthy negative ions that destroy airborne bacteria and odors. Room size coverage is 450 square feet and the unit is remarkably not that noisy even on it’s Turbo setting and whisper quiet on low. Both HEPA and carbon filters are washable, too, so you can get a full 12-18 months out of a set of filters, not 6-8 months like other units. Also has a great modern look and comes with a remote, which neither the Blueair or Austin units come with.

Third Place: Blueair 203 with SmokeStop Gas & Odor Filter Price: $418.00
Dander & Hair: 5 Odor Control: 4.2 Filter Life: 3 Room Size: 3 Noise: 5 Price: 5 Overall: 4.2/5
This performed cleaned the air very well, with exceptional dust, hair & dander removal capacity, removing 99% of particles down to 0.1 microns (better than most HEPA filters), and excellent odor reduction. Gas & Odor SmokeStop filter includes quality activated granular carbon for powerful odor absorption. This unit also includes healthy negative ions for increased HEPA filter efficiency and covers room up to 175 square feet. The Blueair 203 created noticeably cleaner air in about 15 minutes, reducing dust and odors quickly—and more quietly than the other two air purifiers. Only drawback we saw the smaller room size coverage. At the same time there’s another plus: if you don’t really need odor control, the basic 203 can be purchased with a standard Blueair Particle Filter for $329. This air cleaner comes with a 5 year warranty, as well.

Any of these three pet use air purifiers will work well for getting rid of pet hair, dander, bird & cat dust, and odors. If you are really on a budget and don’t have many pet odors, the Winix 9500 is still a great pet air purifier; this unit will remove hair and dander very well, but doesn’t have enough carbon in the filters to adequately remove pet odors, especially if you have multiple indoor cats, dogs or other animals. If you have really tough odors or multiple pets, we would recommend considering one or two of the Austin Pet Machines as a good solution and you might consider buying an extra filter to have on hand so you don’t have to wait for the new filter. Best of all, at our online store you can buy any of these units at a discount with free shipping due to our extremely low overhead.
