For cat owners across the UK, managing the smell from the litter box is a common challenge.My beloved cat, Tink, has been in my life for almost eight years. Over the years, one persistent issue has been controlling the odour from the litter tray.

Alongside daily cleaning, I've experimented with plug-in air fresheners, reed diffusers, and odour neutralisers to mask the distinct scent that signals a feline resident. While some techniques are effective at disguising the smell, they can be so intense that it's obvious they're merely masking an odour rather than eliminating it. They can also make the atmosphere feel dense, particularly if you suffer from allergies or asthma.

So when I was invited to try the Blue Max 3250i air purifier for the Mirror , I thought this would be a great way to put it to the test.

Unboxing the purifier, my first thought was about how large the unit was - it is the first time I've used one and had visions of it sitting neatly on a shelf or worktop somewhere. It is actually about the size of a waste paper bin, so not enormous, but bigger than imagined and needed to sit on the floor.

This might be something to consider if floor space is tight in your home. The unit is stylish and doesn't look out of place in our modern new-build home. It arrived in the 'Stockhol.
