I suggest AirSource 3000 Air Purifier. Helps reduce all three of the major form of air pollution: particles such as pollen, pet dander, dust, and cigarette smoke; microbes such as mold and bacteria; and gases and odors.
Feel free to contact me if you would like the website where you can find lots of info regarding this purifier.

The best air purifier I have found was in the Austin Air line. I’ve tried a couple of different options; obviously with the cheaper units first- they were terrible. I got tired of having to pay 50$ every 6 months switching the filters all the time. Those cheaper units also didn’t do a very good job of relieving me of my allergy symptoms. The good thing about Austin is the PET machine is made specifically for taking care of the dander (this is what the animals shed that cause allergies). In addition, the PET machines filter only needs to be changed once every 5 years, better than twice a year. In the end I will save myself hundreds of dollars and hassle. I’ve had my unit for about 2 years and haven’t had a problem yet nor have I had to change my filter once, it really works great! I also have pet allergies. Since the purifier, no allergy symptoms, no coughing, no sneezing. I’d highly recommend it! Hope this helps!

Try looking at allergybuyersclub.com they have a lot of great products and show the comparisons for them. I actually found this through my asthma doctor who also treats my allergies. He says a lot of air purifiers are just crap, but there are some good ones on the market and this store is really reliable. good luck!

Well, I dont have a purifier. But something that I have found that helps ALOT for my allergies with my cats is the Febreeze Allergen Reducer. I spray the house everyother day. Also, I do not allow my cats near my bedroom.

We have Hunter filters. The trick is to keep them running all the time. Once a month open up the front and vacuum off the filters, and every 6 months replace the filters. It helps a lot but the allergic reaction to cats is not eliminated totally.

In addition to the air cleaner- and I don't know much about specific brands- try wiping the cat with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove loose fur and dander.
Good luck!

Air purifiers are crap. Go to your doctor and get a prescription allergy medicine.

Get more cats. If you have 3 or more cats, your allergies will go away or get bad enough that you have to get rid of all of them.
