Air filter recommendations?

[Dragonrain]

Hello

My fiance and I had a cheap air filter in the bunny room, but it broke recently and I'd like to replace it with something better.

My bunnies have their own room, but it is connected to our bedroom. The air filter will probably be placed either in our bedroom, or in the bunny room, depending on how big it is. I want it basically to help keep the air fresher, smelling cleaner, and to reduce the amount of (hay) dust and fur that gets into the air.

Can anyone recommend a type of air filter? Ideally it would be something that can handle at least two large rooms. Something with a filter that I can clean out (rather than having to buy replacement filters all the time) would be good. I was thinking of getting an ionic breeze, but my fiance's aunt said she got one to help with her allergies (she also has a lot of pets) and that it broke pretty quickly. I don't know if that's typical or not though.

I want to look into them now, so if I find one that's not too expensive, I can ask for it for Christmas.

Any recommendations???

I recommend the Honeywell HEPA Air Purifier.
I think mine is the 17000 "Quietcare" model.

The HEPA filter cartridgeis permanent and can be vac cleaned every few months.
It also has a carbon fiber pre-filter that isinexpensive toreplace depending on amount of use.

The room I use it in is approx 14' x14' (approx 200 sqft).

It makes a MAJOR difference with dust and odor control.
