With a 360-degree intake at the bottom, it sucked up cat hair from 100cm and dog hair from 40cm away in our tests. In the deodorization test, it was effective against pungent ammonia. It is also effective in large, spacious living rooms.

Eliminates the smell of urine in 4 minutes

[2nd Place] Blueair PetAir Pro P3i Sand

Actual Price: ¥85,800

For those who say, "Large air purifiers are difficult to place," this is recommended. While not small in width, it serves a dual purpose as a bed on top. By replacing your current bed, it doesn't take up extra space. It has a fur intake port on the front and exhibits almost the same suction power for dog hair as the Dreame. It is truly an air purifier for pets. Furthermore, in a deodorization test using actual feces and urine collected from a cat litter box, it eliminated unpleasant odors faster than any of the other 6 products. The sensor response is also sensitive, and its high performance is guaranteed. Measured power consumption is also low, making it ideal for rooms where continuous operation is desired.

Highly sensitive sensor that doesn't miss odors or air pollution

[3rd Place] LG LG PuriCare Pet Gen2 (AS657DBY0)

Actual Price: ¥89,000

"LG PuriCare Pet Gen2" was the only product to receive a perfect score in the sensor sensitivity test. Particularly for dust and odors, it reacted immediately even in automatic mode, allowing for an eco-friendly operation where the fan speed only increases when air pollution is detected, even during continuous operation. However, it should be noted that its higher power consumption leads to higher electricity bills compared to other products. The deodorization function performed well; only Blueair and this product managed to reduce the odor of feces and urine to an odor intensity of 1.5, which is described as "barely perceptible." While not powerful for hair suction, it can attract hair if it's nearby.

Actual Price: ¥24,000

Despite its small body, it covers a considerable area of 50m2 (approx. 30 tatami mats). It has distinct features such as easy maintenance and the inclusion of a remote control, which is unique among the tested products. While the sensor's reaction to dust was weak, it did help to dilute the odor of feces and urine.

Actual Price: ¥24,800

With 360-degree suction, it catches cat hair from 80cm away. However, it could not suck up dog hair. The pre-filter on the surface can be washed with water, making it easy to clean accumulated hair. The entire top part is a light, serving as an interior decoration.

Actual Price: ¥19,800

Dretec had the highest deodorization capability in the first minute. Although it has the smallest coverage area, it is compact and ideal for efficiently eliminating odors in a small space.
