I have a Cystic Fibrosis, so had the IQ air before I got a cat... We just got a kitten and I don't have any problems with fur and dander in air. I'm also extremely allergic to cats, so the IQ air has made it possible to live with one. Also it's pretty quiet, kinda like white noise, at lower settings I don't notice the sound. Awesome you did this review!

Great review we have the Winix 5500-2. We just set it on Auto (the default) and let it run 24/7. it usually stays in the low fan settings only moving to medium when it senses an odor or smoke. I checked the wattage that it uses on this auto setting, 5-7 Watts and 38-42 db so it's a tiny amount to run and quiet too. To test the air quality sensor a little air freshener sprayed at it at 6 feet let's you know it is working.

I have a 6500-2 at my parents house, and the auto function is worthless. My dad smokes in the house and the light stays blue and the speed at low, despite him sitting 4 foot away chugging down some cigarettes. I run it on high and call it a day.

Winix 5500-2 - have this as well. I keep it in the vicinity of the litter boxes and works amazingly. a couple of months ago, my apt's electricity went out and I forgot to start it for about a week. I cleaned litter per usual, but I ONLY noticed the item was actually off because of the difference in odor over those few days. Highly recommend.

If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. kzfaq.infoUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!

Jenna, I love hearing that the reviews are timely! So, the 211+ is the one that I've seen rated highly, and while automatic speed adjustment is nice, it's not something you need, so I didn't view this feature as being an essential add-on. I do find the colorful lights fun and entertaining (watch it change when your cat gets a little gassy!), so if you're interested in that, it's certainly worth the extra $40.

Hi, I noticed that the Levoit Air Purifier is basically hollow in the middle do u think it would be a bad idea to place the purrified air filter media inside of it to get the same effect as the purrified air filter but with a levoit? I would still keep levoit filter there as well. I have a bunny and their pee is very potent, the hay gets dusty and of course she sheds so iI was looking for an air purifier for my small space that deals with dust, hair and her smell (my space is only 90 sqft though I will move to a studio apartment this summer likely to be 200-ish sqft). Thank you so much for making this video!

To me it just makes sense that a litter box air purifier would be motion activated and then stay running for a certain period of time or could be adjusted to run for a period of time that the consumer sets. Rather than having to leave it running all day long. BUT I didn't know an actual litter box air purifier existed so thank you for that!

Hi, Bob from Purrified Air. We set the Purrified Air filter to run continuously because odor is being generated any time there is waste in the litter box. At 12 cents per kilowatt hour, it costs about $4.00 per year to run 24-7. The only time you might want to shut it off is when a cat is skittish about the low sound of the device. We have a sensor in development which will shut off the filter for 1-5 minutes when a cat approaches.

Thanks for your interesting and informative content. I am building a new house and was looking for this exact data. I test as allergic to cats. The problem with the test is that I am allergic to some small percentage of cats. Believe me, the few that I react to are horrible. It would qualify as torture to force me to be around them. It's not painful, but my eyes and ears itch enough to drive me around the bend. If you have this reaction but really love kitties, research the different breeds. I understand that some are better than others. I just know that only about 2% of cats effect me.

Any of you having this feeling or it maybe a coincidence that my ears clogged for some reason at the very same moment? Second question is that on the medium speed the device has like a very low whistling like sound. Not on low or high. I hear it only on medium fan speed.

Hi there! It's interesting to hear from someone who's spent some time researching air purifiers. Did you see Wirecutter's review of the Molekule or hear about the investigation into their claims? This brand has come under some pretty serious scrutiny recently and was found to be making some very questionable claims about their products based on less-than-ideal testing setups. It sounds like you probably did your research before all of this went down in 2020. For someone who's interested in consumer products and air purifiers specifically, it's an interesting little drama. I'll put a few links so you can learn all about it. Here's the original Wirecutter review that really showed the Molekule's particle filtration weaknesses: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLNpdq2L1dfKoHU.html Molekule's response to the review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qaeljdKcmZeUhmg.html And here's an article about how Molekule had to retract most of its advertising claims: www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/molekule-retracts-most-of-its-advertising-claims/ So...this is why I didn't include the Molekule in this list. Would love to hear your thoughts on all of this as well. :)

Other people that tested before them in real world circumstances (in home with pets and children) and got much better results. Although they did feel lower priced brands performed better than the Molekule. They definitely went overboard with their advertising that they lost those cases. Sadly, many companies do this. Wonder why they got nailed for it and other companies haven't? I'm not talking about just air purifiers, but in general. I am glad this got pointed out though. And UGH! too many myogenic men commenting on the older videos I watched! They hate Molekule because it is owned by a woman and state that is why it is inferior.

I know you said the overall best was the Winix 5500-2 Air Purifier but I was wondering, if I in general want some odor control for small rodent animals (rats / chinchilla specifically) and litterbox from the cats do you recommend just the Winix 5500-2 Air Purifier or the Purrified Air Pet Odor Filter or both? The room size is approx 13x13 where everything is. I also have a rough collie who sheds a lot. I' m just really stuck on what I should get.

It's a good question. I felt that the Purrified Air was much stronger for odor control, and it would do well in a small space like that. The Winix doesn't have as strong a focus on odor, so you might find that it doesn't address your main concern as well.

Good question. There's no such thing as a washable HEPA filter, so you do have to replace them somewhere between once every 6-18 months(ish)...depending on your manufacturer and use. However, prefilters are washable, and some carbon filters are as well. Pellet-based odor filters can be rinsed out occasionally.

I understand all cats are different, but did you have issues with scratching of the cloth pre filter in the Blue Air and or laying on top of it? Of course the only one I see potential issues with is the one I want 😅 It’s pretty Awesome video as always

Hey you 😊 I had a house fire. Neighbors apt caught on fire below me. My unit filled with smoke. I have a light layer of soot everywhere. I'm disabled. Theyre forcing us to live here and won't help us move (disabled housing). Attorney is helping and got them to agree to buy an air purifier. I also have a Chihuahua. What one is the best for my situation if cost isn't an issue? 1 bedroom apartment. Thx. ❤

Looking at reviews on air purifiers Winix is one of the top rated brands. I just ordered a Winix HR900 Ultimate Pet True HEPA PlasmaWave Air Purifier and am looking forward to setting it up near my litter boxes. When I can afford it I am going to buy a second one to put near the other part of my apartment where I have another litter box set up.

@@AllAboutCatsYT I was a little confused about something. The Winix model is equipped with a timer, so I was thinking it could only be run for those time intervals. Looking at the product website, it states the purifier can also be run continuously in Auto mode which will automatically adjust fan speed based on its sensors. These products beat the heck out of the cheap little gadgets from a big box store I was considering. Thank you so much for this review. Now I just need to find a place to set up a purifier, and I think it will end up closer to the ferret cage, as it is quite ... aromatic.

Hi Bridget, you can check the date when the videos were uploaded to see when those recommendations were made; generally, they are up-to-date, but some are older and may need to be refreshed. For example, I last created an updated litter roundup in 2021, and I've since found that Dr. Elsey's litter is a bit too sludgy and dusty. I'd recommend looking through the comment section to see what people are saying about the recommendations; often, video viewers will contribute more fresh knowledge than the review itself. Regarding humidifiers, basically any humidifier will be safe for your cat. Just make to sure to avoid the ones that involve essential oils and keep it out of your cat's reach.
