I have allergies and the biggest thing for getting stuff out of the air is air movement, moving lots of stuff although the filter. Unfortunately that means a big fan and it’s not going to be quiet (although it does have a quiet setting). I always cringe on those whisper quiet ionized air cleaners.
I use a honeywell hepa air filter. Comes in all different sizes. Catches big stuff and small stuff. When I change the outside charcoal filter, it looks like the lint trap from a dryer. Think it’s one of the few recommended by American Lung Association or was when I got it. Rule of thumb is it have to filter all the room air 10 times per hour.
Won’t replaces a vacuum routine though. As you know once hair has landed anywhere it tends to stick. But certainly sucks up airborne stuff and the air current it makes helps circulates airborne until it’s picked up.
BTW, if you have forced air heating in the house, you should have a filter there. And brush your cats every morning if you can (if they let you ). Get as much loose hair off before it’s airborne.
