WIRED's top pick for odor removal, with a 3-in-1 filter combining a vacuumable pre-filter, True Green HEPA, and activated carbon. Cat owners specifically appreciate the control-panel lock that prevents pets from accidentally changing settings.
If pet smells are your primary complaint — not just dander — the Coway Airmega 450 is the purifier to get. The activated carbon layer is serious about VOCs and odors, and the cat-proof control lock is a genuinely useful real-world feature that owners love.
“At a cost of $500, I wish the warranty were longer than a year.”
