If you are a pet owner, you know the struggle of breathing in pet dander and hair when your furry friend sheds their winter coat. On Black Friday two years ago, my husband and I purchased this Blueair air purifier, and it has made life as cat parents much easier since we aren’t breathing in as much of our cat Norbert’s hair.

It’s also discounted again for Presidents’ Day. Right now, you can get the Blueair Blue Pure 211i Max Air Purifier in the large size for $70 off at $280, as well as $40 off the medium size at $190.
Since introducing the Blueair air purifier into our living room, we’ve seen a significant reduction in the amount of Norbert’s hair that accumulates. The real-time LED indicator provides constant reassurance about the air quality, displaying statuses such as excellent (blue), moderate (orange), or polluted (red).

Blueair says this air purifier removes 99.97% of airborne particles, including viruses and bacteria, dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold. This particular model can clean spaces up to 1,524 square feet in 30 minutes or 635 square feet in about 12.5 minutes when on the highest setting. Plus, it’s super quiet with a decibel rating of 23-53dB — we only really notice the sound being loud when it’s turned onto the highest setting.
I highly recommend an air purifier — especially the Blueair Blue Pure 211i Max — to pet parents for a cleaner home and more breathable air this season.
