Q: QuestionHow often do you have to change the filter?
Asked by Ck.
- A:Answer Once every 6 months but it actually depends upon usage, the more frequently you use it and the higher settings you use will require you to change it sooner, the same can be said for the opposite of this. If you use it less frequently or at lower settings the longer you can go without actually needing to change it. It does have a built in function that displays the life of your filter as a percentage.

Q: QuestionDoes it filter airborne particles as low as 0.1 micrograms
Asked by Beatnik.
- A:Answer The Shark 3-in-1 Air Purifier is equipped with a 3-stage HEPA filter that is designed to capture 99.98% of particles down to the 0.1–0.2 micron range, plus odors and VOCs. The cylindrical structure pulls air through the back and sides of the air purifier and passes it through the HEPA filter. Particles such as smoke, mold, and allergens are then trapped in the HEPA filter, allowing only clean air to be passed through the top vents.

Q: QuestionHow does the fan function compare to a regular tower fan?
Asked by Vanezza.
- A:Answer Tower fans usually run the whole height, the only part is the small part on top, but it works fairly well. And it's just high enough to hit above the bed for people who sleep with a fan on

Q: QuestionI am finding it with the heat element activated and the fan on the lowest setting (Apparently my air is 100%). How can I make sure the fan always speeds up when the heat is on? Also when the heat turns off it dings. How do I stop it from doing that?
Asked by Satisfied.
- A:Answer You can raise the fan speed to a higher setting. You can stop the unit from dinging by pressing the brightness button (on the remote) for 3 seconds to mute it.

Q: QuestionDoes this capture mold in the air?
Asked by Trippie.

Q: QuestionOn average, how long do the filters last and are they easy to change?
Asked by Kate.
- A:Answer Shark Air Purifier recommends changing the filter every 6–12 months. When the filter needs to be changed, the FILTER LIFE text will flash on the front display. If you or a member of your household is sensitive to allergens, you may benefit from changing the filter more frequently. To check the remaining filter lifespan, press the Info button on the remote until your display shows the filter life air quality view. This is the percentage of filter life remaining before the filter needs to be changed. To maximize your air purifier's filter life and performance, Shark® recommends leaving your air purifier in AUTO mode. After 100% clean air status is achieved for 10 minutes in AUTO mode, your air purifier will enter ECO mode and further optimize your filter life. Shark®™ also recommends flipping and rotating the direction of your filter every 3 months. This will help equalize and balance the distribution of captured particles throughout the filter, allowing for extended usage.
