Quick verdict
The Vital 200S pairs true-HEPA + carbon with a pet-oriented washable pre-filter that grabs fur before it clogs the main filter — the reason it's our top pick for pet homes. It covers a solid ~380 sq ft, adds Wi-Fi and a real auto mode, and stays quiet on low. The carbon is only moderate for very strong odor.

What we like
- Pet pre-filter extends HEPA life in hairy homes.
- Good coverage for the price, with a genuine auto mode and app.
- Quiet on low, front-facing intake handy against a wall.
What we don't
- Moderate carbon for very strong litter odor — the Winix 5500-2 does more for smell.
