We give the Brondell Pro Sanitizing Air Purifier a rating of 4.75 out of 5 stars.
Pet hair and dander are common issues that dog owners must learn to manage in their homes. While there are many different methods and tricks that you can use to reduce the amount of dog hair in the home, there are few things that are as convenient as using an air purifier. It can be challenging to look for a reliable air purifier that will also last you a long time, but Brondell makes the search much easier by producing a line of reliable, high-quality air purifiers.
There’s nothing quite like the Brondell Pro Sanitizing Air Purifier. It has a robust air filtration system and is capable of being used in hospitals, office spaces, and schools. Since it has an impressive coverage area, it can certainly perform well in single-family homes and smaller living spaces. While all dog owners would benefit from using the Brondell Pro Sanitizing Air Purifier, it’ll be a particularly useful appliance for homes with multiple pets or high-shedding dog breeds. Not only does it pick up pet dander, but it can also trap and reduce the amount of pet hair in the home.
I do acknowledge that purchasing the Brondell Pro Sanitizing Air Purifier’s retail price is higher than typical air purifiers, and the replacement filters aren’t cheap either. So, when I tested it out with my Cavapoo, Nora, I made sure to be thorough to determine if it was a good value. My honest review of this air purifier will help you to decide if it’s a good fit for your home.

Our Experience With Brondell Pro Sanitizing Air Purifier
My Cavapoo Nora is a relatively low-shedding dog. However, her coat type does tend to trap and bring in outdoor allergens, like dust and pollen, into our home. So, the fall and spring in our home aren’t pleasant for seasonal allergy sufferers.
I was able to use the Brondell Pro Sanitizing Air Purifier immediately because installing the filters was an easy and straightforward process. It did take some time to familiarize myself with the control panel icons, but a quick glance at the owner’s manual helped to make sure I had turned on all the correct settings. I could also automate some of the settings so that the air purifier would adjust accordingly with the room’s air quality.
One concern that I had about this air purifier was the noise level. Nora is sensitive to loud noises and can get anxious around mechanical sounds. However, the sound that the Brondell Pro Sanitizing Air Purifier emitted was barely noticeable, and she didn’t seem bothered by it. Sometimes, it would automatically switch to a higher fan speed, and these switches did perk her ears the first couple of times. However, she got used to it pretty quickly and is no longer bothered by any noises that it makes.
I started using this air purifier in the middle of fall allergy season. When I first turned it on, its air quality indicator detected that my room had “fair” air quality. After keeping it on for some time, the indicator switched to “good” air quality. In terms of effectiveness, I did notice that my seasonal allergy symptoms have been minimal so far.
Overall, the Brondell Pro Sanitizing Air Purifier is a powerful air purifying and sanitizing system. Some people may be able to get by with using a cheaper air purifier. However, I can see this air purifier being an excellent option for all kinds of dog owners, including allergy sufferers and immunocompromised individuals. It’s definitely worth every penny, especially if you’re intentional about using it at its full potential.
