I use MedifyAir. For the bedroom there are options of either MA-12 or MA-14 as they cover 203 sq ft in 30 mins. (I use MA-14). They have different size options for your basement maybe get [MA-50-V3.0 Air Purifier](https://medifyair.com/products/ma-50-air-purifier) that covers 1,320 sq ft in 30 mins. I end up wiping the dust off with a tissue maybe a month or two in, and end up using the filter extra as it fills out more rather than changing every 3 months on the dot. This also depends on use -- if for living room change it on proper schedule if it runs 24/7. I am not sure if there are washable filter options for air filters (only for vacuum cleaners).
I have two [Medify MA-14 air purifier](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0887WZV3J?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1)s in my home (one upper and one lower level). They were recommended to me by my doctor, who uses them in her office. As for filters, you can buy the generic ones and they work just as well as the branded, at half the cost. I usually clean each filter once a month, replacing the filter entirely every three months.
I’m a HS teacher and have two desktop air purifiers with HEPA filters (the Medify air ones on Amazon - I change the filters once a semester). I also mask when not at my desk and disinfect during my lunch.
I have two dogs in a townhome and have 3 air purifiers. Absolutely love them. No dog smell. I have one Medify and two Levoit. Just make sure you get one that can actually clean the size of the space it will be in. The downside is buying the filters, but I find it worth the cost, and you can find cheaper, off-brand filters on Amazon.
medify needs more love. those medical grade H13 filters are legit
I've been using Medify Air for 5+ years and they've held up well. They work well, especially during wildfire season. I also run them when guests are present to reduce the spread of airborne germs for an immune compromised household member.
We use medify air purifiers
Medify, Coway, Honeywell are all brands I use and trust. And I’ve tried MOST brands. One I DONT recommend is Sans. They’re overpriced pieces of junk. Just pick one based on sq footage and where you want the airflow (example if you want it to blow out the side, you may feel more of the breeze, or from the top)
There are some HEPA air purifiers that are H14 rated. I use the Medify one and it works great.
Honeywell, Levoit, Medify, Coway
It depends on the size of your rooms, and how much noise matters to you. They will all be great for pet hair, dust, and have models at about $250 to $300, for your total $600 budget for 2 units -- but you need to get models that appropriately cover the square footage in each room. Typically models will advertise the square footage they cover on the highest setting -- which is the loudest. You want to be able to run it on lower settings most of the time, so check the square footage they cover on lower settings, and/or "overbuy" for your space. Also check the pricing for a unit's replacement filters -- that's an important cost consideration. Finally, if you can swing it, I also recommend units with activated carbon / VOC filters for smells, when you have pets :)
