Honeywell - Air Genius 5 (HFD320)

I like the Honeywell brand because of how simple they are. They have many different size options! Since you're looking for cheaper, here's a couple smaller options. [Small tabletop $54](https://a.co/d/2oaaRUp) [More expensive tabletop $99](https://a.co/d/2DTzbVO) I live in a small apartment and my bird cage is in the same room as the kitchen unfortunately, so I got one of their biggest filters with reusable filters with a charcoal pre filter and it works amazing!

Yes, a hepa filter will most likely help! We use a Honeywell AirGenius, which has a permanent filter - just pop out, rinse, dry, and back in, no need to worry about buying expensive replacements. Available from Canadian stores - Home Hardware and Canadian Tire.

I've never noticed a difference between mine and the hepa filters used at other homes. It is a life saver during allergy season, and has also kept air feeling clean during smoky days over the past few summers.

Which purifier killed the birds?? I have two air genius…hopefully this isn’t the one, I run them all the time and have never noticed issues with my babies. Finches canaries cockatiels American toads and fire belly toads

Honeywell air genius, I have two…the washable filter and replaceable pre filters (affordable) make things easy for me. Be sure you get a purifier that has been around for a bit. I got a series of less expensive ones when I was younger and they kept discontinuing the replacement filters
