I have two Honeywell canister type HEPA cleaners.. They are wonderful

Large, and a little noisy. Best left on all the time NOT HOME.

I have a cockatiel, and they shed a powder, like dusting powder from the feathers, so the cleaners keep that problem down.
I used to leave one one while at work. them off when i am home.
Now that I am retired, and home all the time, I leave one one set to low speed, 24/7 in the bathroom. Where it is least objectionable for noise.
Even in the bathroom, it cleans all the air in the apartment.

My second one I have in the bedroom and will turn it on high for a day if the air seems stuffy. I close the bedroom door to cut the noise.

Other types just do not do the job as well. The ion ones can cut the smoke better, but all they do is make the smoke cling to the walls and surfaces much more.

Bigger is way way better. The ones I have are 22"/24" tall and 18" diameter. With a big filter plus a cheap prefilter easy to replace. I have owed these for over 20 years and have not needed to replace the main HEPA filter. (Basically the main Hepa filter is like $120..)
The prefilter can be vacuumed off (it wraps around the HEPA filter as a sleeve) , and lasts about five years. The prefilter costs about $25.
If I smoked.. I would spray the prefilter through the vents with Febreze, to help it work at killing the smoke smell.

I used to own smaller ones and they basically burned out, got clogged.. Once I got the first big Honeywell HEPA, I never looked back. The second one I bought used at Goodwill for $20 Fantastic deal.

So I say go big to last.
Mine are still going strong, and may last another 20 years??
