I have 3 dogs and totally understand the dusty, believe me! :) I have two of these and have had them about 3-4 months now. I can definitely tell some difference in how much dust there is. Granted, I still have dust, just less of it. Just to see how well they were working, I checked my filters a few days ago (remember, I have only had these 3-4 months) and they were jam packed full of dust and were in need of changing. I have new filters on the way! I will be changing them way more frequently then they suggest, that's for sure. Now, I'm thinking that MAYBE if you don't currently use a purifier, that maybe that because of all the yucky stuff in the air that it's pulling out for the first time, maybe the first filters should be changed much sooner, and maybe after the initial air cleaning you can go longer between filter changes. At least that's what I am hoping. We'll see. I hope this helps with your question! :)

We change out the pad and use a Hook and Loop (Velcro) pad and sandpaper with a hook and loop backing. This does not work with the dust pick up.

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 many dogs and cats and I think it does a great job. I do take a lint roller to the filter often to clean out the hair that accumulates. I think it will really help with just the two you have. I do not find it to be very loud- not as loud as the large fan I run during the summer. I hope this helps.

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.

I bought two of these units a little over 4 months ago. One is in the living/dining room. The other is in my son's bedroom. I've been running both pretty much continually 24/7 ever since with no problem. It does a great job of filtering the dog and cat hair and other dirt and dust in the air. It is important to monitor and clean the filters regularly so they don't get over loaded.

Hello Virginia, I moved before having to clean it but would use my vacuum brush on it periodically so the dust wouldn't build up. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

I change the HEPA filters and the filter about every 2 months. We have 2 cats, 1 dog and tend to also get a lot of dust in the home. I'd recommend taking out the prefilter maybe every other week and just basically shaking it out or slapping it to get the larger dust balls and dander off. But of course it will all depend on just how much dust/dander you tend to have in your home. I purchase the replacement filters here on Amazon as well and they are much cheaper here than at a big box store. I'd absolutely recommend this air purifier though, works great and I've had it for at least 7 months. Hope this helps I change the HEPA filters and the filter about every 2 months.

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 haven't had a problem either, as the other person said, I do place it on non carpet area when I stop it just because a little residual seems to come out when I let it set sometimes. I love the machine, it does a great job and I have 4 dogs in and out all day every day! Hope you find a fix :)

There isn't any dust with this product. We place the pellets directly in a litter pan and use a standard scooper to remove the soiled pellets.

actually I haven't. I don't smoke and have no pets. Seems that all my filters, walls, and window treatments don't get 'dirty' quickly. If I do need to clean it, I'd check the owner's manual, and if that didn't tell me I'd figure out how to take the guard off and use a Swifter type dusting material.

I'm sorry, I haven't noticed a change in dander levels. It has not stopped pet hair or dust from collecting in other areas of the room. It mostly seems to be an immediate are affect.

I got mine for Christmas, was somewhat skeptical!! AMAZING!!!!! I have all hardwood floors, some large area rugs, and 2 small dogs!!! My wood is mohagany so it is dark, would show dust under furniture. Now I am totally dust free everywhere on the floor, no animal hair at all! This things is amazing!!! I can never say enough about the effectiveness of this vacuum. Honestly, I never would have believed how great it is until I tried it myself! My home is a little over 2700 feet, all one floor, and this goes everywhere! It easily goes under furniture and transitions from the hard wood to the area rugs with no issues at all!

Well actually, we just use common sense and check it when we empty the vac and wash everything about every six weeks. It is amazing how much dog hair it picks up and we have two very small short haired dogs. I hate housework but love this vac

I believe it would help - I don't have pets now but used it when I did have a cat and dog. If there is an abundance of hair in combination with dust, some of the hair/fur/dust will fall off of the mop. I do believe it was effective in collecting some amount.

What I have done is first vacuumed the foam filter, then take out the two perm filters and use the brush attachment on my Kirby... It has enough suction to get out almost all the collected dust... I also have a unit in another room to reduce dust in my apt... Hope this helps...
