Reducing hay dust in pig room -- beefy air purifier recommendations?

[Danielle Smith]

After having a tidy-up of the pig room today, I hadn't noticed how bad the hay dust gets in there when the window is shut all the time like in winter. Even after a weekly wipe-down, surfaces are thick with dust. I've been very sneezy for the past few months, especially after walking into the pig room and I think that may be why. The rest of my house also gets very dusty and I think that may be related, I never shut the pig room door.

Can anyone recommend a somewhat high-powered air purifier that can deal with hay dust? I used a smallish consumer unit a couple of years ago and it did a great job but ended up dying from the amount of particulate on the filter even when changed regularly!

I have this one:

Vax ACAMV101 Pure Air 300 Air Purifier

It doesn’t live in the pig room but is used in there sometimes. We have to keep our pig room door shut as my OH is allergic to hay. The purifier is in the bedroom to help him sleep!
I’ve only had to change the filter once in 3 or 4 years

Thank you @sport_billy! Ooo @Guineapigfeet, that one looks good and I love the shape too.

It’s ‘prettier’ than a lot of the ones we looked at! Seems to do the job and it’s on a lot of time in our bedroom (not as high dust as a pig room, but still works hard) and it’s not had a single issue apart from the filter change. The filters are a bit pricey though
