air purifiers

[triordan]

So I'm thinking of getting one but there are so many out there, any recommendations?
Do I Get one for pets, allergies or just general. Now that we got a Grey I would like something, thanks
also wanted to mention that not sure if its the birds but this cold that I've had for the last 8 weeks doesn't seem to be going away I'm wondering if its some of it is allergies

stay away from ionizers...all you need is a decent true hepa air purifier

heres what i have Honeywell Store - The Honeywell HPA200 True HEPA Large Room Air Purifier with Allergen Remover - Black, honeywell air purifiers, air cleaners.

Unfortunately that one is too small for the area I wanted to use it in, only 310 sq ft

I have these 3:

This one is good and easy to clean using a vacuum, but a bit loud, even on the low setting and it puts out a lot of air, like a fan...

This one is the one I currently use where my greys cage is. It has an auto sensor and it is also easy to clean using a vacuum. I don't think I could sleep with this one in my room though, as the motor doesnt idle at the same sound... Does that make sense lol, it goes up and down up and down. But I am a light sleeper.

This one is the most expensive, and the quietest, looks like they are coming out with a new model. I use to use this one but I need to replace the filter and carbon screen thing and just haven't gotten around to buying new ones. This one was the most hastle to clean since you had to rinse the carbon filter out and wait for it to dry. And you also have to turn off the ionizer feature.
The air filters that I feel collected the most white dander/dust and down feathers was the Honeywell then the kenmore then the rabbit. The rabbit has a white screen so you probably can't see all the dust like you can on the black screens. They all work well though.

Thanks Kim, I was wondering if the more expensive ones were worth it, I was looking at the Austin and Rabbit originally
