I got a HEPA medium-large air filter at Sears; it cost in the $100-200
range I think, and eats a $10 filter every 3 months.  I've been quite happy
with it; I used to smell ferret strongly whenever I came home from work and
now I only really notice it when I've been gone for several days.  They are
a bit large (18" high, 2' diameter cylinder) and noisy, but if it's out
of the way that's not a problem, or you can get used to it after a while.
(Although I'm still looking forward to our new place where the ferrets and
the purifier get their own room :)
 
A friend of mine has an ionic (I think) purifier that's silent and seems to
work well; whether it can be as good as a fan-driven filter I don't know.
