Friends of mine have been in the bird business for 20 years and have
done considerable research on air filters/cleaners, etc.  They have tried
almost every kind on the market and all of them have burned out on
cockatoo/cockatiel powerder in a short period of time.  the only one that
worked for them is the Smokemaster portable (not ceiling mounted) unit
that costs about $500.00.

The good news is, however, that I run smokemasters near my birds, and
a norelco $49.00 ionizer/cleaner in my bedroom.  Even with massive amounts
of powder that float through the house, the Norelco has been running for over
a year and working fine.  You just have to replace the filters often.
