How is this on dust? I have 4 dogs and the dust in my house is horrible. Will it eliminate most of the dust?

I have this purifier and I have two dogs and two cats. It is an excellent choice. Also have a Blue air in another part of the house that works wonders. I recommend both very highly.

Hmmmm.....I'm not sure. I have a large unit in my bedroom, and a smaller unit in my front room. They pretty much handle the whole first floor of my home. I don't use the upstairs, so it's not necessary to have a unit there. I will tell you, both rooms have cold air returns, and the units are close to them. My house is VERY old. I used to have to dust daily....now, maybe once a week. When the dust starts to build up faster, I know it's time to check the filters. I have a huge German Shepherd, so I vacuum the filters twice a month.I have 2 bedrooms, a very large front room, and a very large kitchen on my first floor. I also have severe allergies. The two units are perfect! Hope that helps. Hmmmm.....I'm not sure. I have a large unit in my bedroom, and a smaller unit in my front room. They pretty much handle the whole first floor of my home.

I have two dogs and a cat, so I check my bag frequently because of the volume of pet hair in the house. I would think, however, that when the bag is getting full, the vacuum will not pick up particles as efficiently. You might notice deminished suction, I would think.

Hey. So how did this go? I'd like to try this as well. Figure it would take dust etc out on the air even with the be best on. Any insight would be appreciate! Thx.

I've been using this unit in my home for a while now and my experience is that it does a pretty good job removing dust. If I shake a blanket in the room where the unit is, it will kick onto high and then return to normal when the dust has dissipated.

I have pets and live in an area that is dry and windy which equals lots of dust. I replace mine every two to three months depending on my usage.

I do not have pets, but I do have a wool area rug that sheds and fills up the vacuum cup. I empty the bag several times when vacuuming and have no real problems. The rest of my floors are wood.I find this vacuum very good and easier than dragging out my electrolux or using a mop or broom to clean up.

I do not think it can remove pet hair nor dust unless the dust is in the air not on the floor. It could remove above 80% of the odor if the room is not very large. It is an air refesher, whatever on the air it helps to remove when those dust or pet hair drops on the floor then it will not be removed.

Well...i have 1 dog and 4 cats and for me this has been wonderful!!!!! i use it 99% of the time on hard surfaces ( kitchen and bathroom floors ) but i have ran it across hair on the carpet and it picked up just fine...i also use it to pick up cat litter near the litter box....i love this and i think you would too :)

My daughter has 3 cats and 3 dogs and lives with me part-time - but I am not allergic to anything. I can tell you this: there is an amazing amount of dust and other small debris on the Truman Cell collectors when I pull them out for cleaning. I've tried other Ionizer air cleaners. One of these Oreck units is 3 years old - still works like a champ, but cleaning the cells is a bit of a pain and tedious. Soaking and moving them around in soapy water doesn't seem to do the trick - so I use long Q-tips afterwards...

I don't have any issues with dust. Only if I have to add a lot of litter at one time which would happen with any color. I just wipe with a damp rag once a month and it's good.

My home is small, about 1400 sf., all tile and wood floors. I have no trouble vacuuming the whole house in one charge. I have a lot of "dust bunnies" (dogs) and the brushes are easy to clean.

We don't have any pets so I don't really know. I have noticed that it has not stopped dust from collecting.

I must tell you that we are thrilled with our Hunter air cleaner. It sits in our family room which is approximately 15X19. We have two dogs and this device has eliminated that "dog" smell completely. In addition, we both feel quite a difference in air quality. I am also prone to sinus infections and since we got this unit, I haven't had any infections. Better yet, as most know, up here in New England, the winter weather is quite nasty and colds, flu, etc. are rampant. So far this winter, nobody in our household has gotten sick (for the first time ever). I don't think it's just because of this unit but I'm sure it has helped in that arena. I highly recommend the Hunter. I must tell you that we are thrilled with our Hunter air cleaner. It sits in our family room which is approximately 15X19.

I only use my broom in the house and I never have puffs of dust. The soft hair seems to hold the light dust. I love my Laundered horse hair broom. That's all I"ll use in the house.

I also have three dogs and was given a Roomba for Christmas. You WILL still have to use your regular old vaccuum even though you have a Roomba. It will probably be great on your hardwood floors--likely a big help. However, on the carpet, it will probably just do 'maintenance-quality', picking up quite a bit of hair, but still not replacing a good manual vaccumming. (But hey, every little bit helps when have multiple pets). I run mine every day, and I appreciate its ability to perform damage-control every day with the "kids'" daily shedding, supplemented by my own once or twice a week regular vaccuuming. I empty the bin every time it completes a cycle. It only takes two seconds. If you try to run it will a full bin, it won't be able to pick up anything very well, just like a regular vaccuum. One more very important thing-- since you have pets, you'll have to be extra dilligent about cleaning the brush and the rubber thing next to brush. The brush is relatively easy to clean with the cleaning tool, but the rubber thing next to the brush can get hair wrapped around these tricky grooves next to its wheels--its kind of time consuming, but if you don't keep those things clean than its bad for the Roomba. Oh, and for other pet people out there, I was at Roomba's website the other day and they have now came out with a Roomba for homes with pets, so you may want to look into that if you are considering buying a Roomba. The Roomba Sage for Pets is like 219.00, and the Roomba Discovery for Pets is around 300.00. The brushes are supposed to be easier to clean than the standard Roomba.

Yes, I'm happy with it. Two things: 1. I do sweep out the corners into the path of Neato, and; 2. It's really LOUD on hardwood floors. In my 1800 sq. ft condo, I need to empty it once or twice each time it runs and it gets trapped between my bar stools, so I have to pull them out while it runs. I don't currently have a pet so I can't tell you about dog or cat hair, but it picks up mine!!
