i love our AirDoctor! the units go on sale occasionally but the filters unfortunately never do. it works extremely well for smoke, cooking odors, regular dust/particulates. i’ve had mine for 3 years and have had zero issues with it. you can vacuum the first filter ever month (or more often if needed) and then there’s a carbon filter and hepa filter that are replaced at different intervals depending on air quality.

The best on the market imo is Austin air but it’s pricey. I will likely only buy one for my baby’s nursery. We have air doctors in our bedroom and living room, and they seem to work quite well. We had our second model stop working under warranty and they replaced it at no cost, but that is the only bad experience we have had. Our older unit is still going strong a few years in.

In my experience air purifiers do work well but they can take a little bit of time so you’ll still smell it right after your cat goes. Currently have the Air Doctor and love it. Make sure you’re using enough litter that they can bury their poos and fully changing out the litter every 30 days to help with odor control.

I have 2 air doctors and a levoit and don't notice any difference between them. If money was no option I'd probably gonwoth Austin Air or Jaspr. If budget then Levoit or Winix from Costco. Or Costco also has a Shark with a 5 year filter.

We have had the Air Doctor for about 2 years now and love it. Got us through mycotoxins, fires, living by a freeway. It has a sensor that also increases filtration when needed. We change the carbon filter 2x/year and the HEPA filter 1x/year.

We hated our air doctor because it started to short out our outlet and the filters are so insanely expensive to replace. They’re also hard to find and only available through their website (with no free shipping). We sold ours and purchased a Winix from Costco, works great and came with three replacement filters

We use the air doctor in our main living space and Blue Air for bedrooms! Open to hearing if there are better alternatives now though as ours are a few years old now (with replaced filters of course).
