How good is this unit for removing dust and rate of air circulation null

Question

This air purifier is excellent. It is quiet and it has several settings including night time. So happy I chose this one.

Answer

I have one cat, hardwood floors and two flat-weave wool carpets, a central HVAC system that is regularly serviced AND I vacuum and dust *everything* at least weekly. If I don't, there's a visible layer of dust on everything (this was true even before I adopted a cat).

So: I purchased this unit three weeks ago in the hopes that it would reduce the dust so that I could go longer in between flat-out cleaning sprees-- and also so that my cat's allergies might improve. (Yeah, you read that right: my cat is pretty severely allergic to dust mites and I figured this air purifier is less expensive than a very unhappy cat and repeated vet visits.)

So how's it going?

The good: rate of air circulation is amazing, truly, especially on setting #2 or 3--and my place feels *fresher* when running it on those settings, if that makes sense. Running it at setting 3 while cooking is also *helpful* in keeping the place smelling fresh, but don't expect miracles-- maybe 50% better? Also: running it 24/7 on setting 2 or 3 isn't practical--it's both loud and windy. I generally leave it on Auto.

The bad: my place is still seriously dusty. With the same amount of cat hair forming the same tumbleweeds. Honestly, I didn't notice much improvement on dust or hair, which was v disappointing.

Lastly: my cat might be itching less? hard to tell if it's helping but it's not hurting. *My* allergies (pet dander, dust mites) seem to be exactly the same as before (I need benadryl ~2x week, so they aren't severe, ymmv).

Do I regret my purchase? No.  Do I wish this machine would improve the dust situation: yes.
