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. -- Scott E Kullberg <*> [log in to unmask] --><-- "Mad science isn't the career for everyone.
