On the EPA Energy Star site, the Cuckoo was certified separately from and earlier than the KILO. The Cuckoo was slightly less effective in CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate, measured in cfm, cubic feet per minute) which could be due to product variance, but was around 20% more energy efficient (CADR per watt). It could be because the KILO running the fan significantly faster in order to achieve slightly better CADR, or due to variance in their PM2.5 sensors (which need not be that accurate for this application) so one ran harder than the other?
Generic filters are plentiful on Amazon (probably 10+ sellers) and start at 2 for $29 [amazon.com] so supply should be plentiful and affordable for a few years (a major consideration). Afloia has an interesting $37 pet filter [amazon.com] with removable and washable pre-filter (looks velcro'ed per vendor video) and you can vacuum the HEPA accordion filter underneath.
I'd say $80 for the Cuckoo with an extra filter is a fair price compared to the KILO, but nothing spectacular, and you get Costco service. The Winix C545 can be had for a bit more on sale, has over 4x the CADR but also bigger and draws almost 3x more power so different animals.
