PetClean Tower Air Purifier

I recently added three (abandoned) cats to my household. I now have five cats in a small condo.I have 4 litter boxes and use premium litter,zero odor litter spray, scoop twice daily and do complete litter changes twice weekly.

I have a lot more cat hair ,litter dust and lingering litter odor in my home with the additional cats.So I had been looking into purchasing an air purifier to improve the air in my home.

I was excited to see this product in my local Target. The name of the product "PETCLEAN AIR" and the wording and pictures on the carton stating this was an air purifier for pet owners convinced me that this was the unit for me!

The unit is off white in color and looks nice out of the box.It uses replaceable HEPA TYPE filters and replaceable carbon type pre-filters.It also has an ionizer feature that can be turned off if desired. (NOTE: I have successfully used a stand alone ionizer in my cat area in the past so I liked this feature)

The unit has three speed settings.I found the high setting to be very loud.On the high setting this unit blows a lot of cool air...This would be hard to deal with in the winter but pleasant in the summer.It does not power oscillate but you can manually adjust it.I would have tolerated that had this machine been effective.The medium setting is nice and barely noticeable but I feel that it's too weak of a setting to properly clean the air.The low setting is barely audible and very weak.

I left this on high for three days and noticed no change in the scent of my home.I have a small place and used this in my living room (too loud for bedroom) I did notice a slight reduction in the dustiness of my home.

Overall, this unit disappointed me. As a pet owner I was excited to see an air purifier supposedly designed for my situation.This unit does not deliver on it's promise to reduce pet odors in the home. I would not recommend this unit to other pet owners looking to improve the air quality in their homes.
