Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works well so far. I have only had it for a short time.

Not what I expected. The purifier works okay, not the greatest. I thought since it’s by Shark & the price tag, it would be really good. The heating & air works okay. Overall nothing special—just an average 3-in-1 system.

I like that it keeps my room warm while keeping thw air quality perfect. I used to cough all the time in my room until i bought this.

Pro: -Detachable remote -Heat gets warm quick -Auto detects air quality Con: -If remote is lost, you can’t change settings -Fan mode has low airflow to noise volume This is my second Shark purifier and I have no real complaints. It looks nice and doesn’t take up that much space, and it leaves a clean smell. It also serves as a light fan and good space heater. It’s powerful enough to clean an average sized living room. The front display has a clean aesthetic, displaying air quality information and the temperature. It can cycle through different particle types, filter life, and how long it will take to clean the area. The ring will also change color based on air quality. All the buttons, except the power button, are on the detachable remote. It’s held on by a strong magnet, but if it’s lost, then you lose all control over the purifier. You can still switch between purifier and fan with the knob, but nothing else. As a purifier, it’s quiet and puts out a nice clean smell. The Clean Sense IQ will auto detect air quality and adjust the fan strength accordingly. In this mode, the air is pushed out the back. When in Fan/Heat mode, the air flows from the front. The fan airflow is somewhat weak at low to medium setting but is relatively quiet. At higher settings, it can get loud, so the airflow to noise volume may not be worth it. The auto air quality detector will still crank up the power if the air quality drops. The heating is fast to warm up and is temperature controlled. Great for heating up a room quickly. The HEPA filter should last months and a replacement will cost $60, which isn’t too expensive.

Having a unit that will do everything and not having to buy multiple units to do different functions, is really worth the buy.

Not good and remote is not working without remote it’s useless

Wish there was a way to turn the device chime off. Chime is loud when adjusting settings at night

Shark Air Purifier 3-in-1 with True HEPA Filter, Air Purifier, Purified Heat, Purifed Fan, Odor Lock, 500 sq. ft. - Black This solidly-built Shark Air Purifier 3-in-1 product is so much more than your typical air purifier. The “3-in-1” in the product name is your first clue that there’s so much more to come. In addition to purifying the air, this unit also provides purified heat and purified fan settings for spaces up to 500 square feet. That’s more than enough to cover most rooms. Paper documentation is minimal, but the instructions on operating the unit are clearly printed on the unit itself. That’s a nice feature, since you don’t have to constantly refer to the paper instructions (that is, if you can even find them later). Kudos for that. There’s also a QR code printed on the unit that you can scan. It takes you to an online video, showing you how to operate the unit. Choosing the location for the unit is important and can be an issue for folks with tight spaces, since the recommendation is that the unit be placed three feet from the wall and from any furniture. Operating this unit is a pleasure, since the various options are clearly marked, and the easy-to-read display shows you the results of your chosen action. There’s a feature called “Clean Sense IQ” which automatically adjusts and maintains the temperature setting you choose. And there’s an oscillating option which makes the operating part of the unit rotate to cover the widest possible area with the fan’s breeze. The included filter can last from six months to a year, depending on how much you use the unit. The product is covered by warranty for two years for both parts and labor, so the manufacturer certainly has confidence in this unit. So can you. This product is a winner! Highly recommended.

I'm in love with this air purifier so far! I've been using it for a week now and I can already tell a difference in the air quality inside my house. I have several friends with pet allergies that visit regularly and my hope upon purchasing this purifier was to help minimize the dander my 3 cats create for not only my guests, but for my husband and self as well. I love how customizable and user friendly it is. The fact that I have the option to switch between cool, heat and normal and it still purifies the air is very appealing to me, especially during this time of the year when it's cold in the mornings, but warm during the day. I've left it on auto so it's pretty hands off, but it does come with a handy remote to control everything from. The purifier clearly indicated on the front what the current room temperature is, what the air quality is and the life of the filter. It's really quiet too. I've placed this in our living room and you pretty much don't know it's there unless you're looking right at it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get one of these for every floor of my house! Highly recommend.

Knob to switch the purifier and heater got stuck and I cannot switch without remote

Doesn't seem to purify the air as well as our other purifiers, cant tell much of a difference in air quality. Was hoping for the price it would do better.

Very bad product. Thats probably why its discounted big. Got the product in february. In a month it stopped working. But bestbuy doesnt take anything back after 15 days Had to deal with shark directly for the warranty. Very time consuming and cumbersome process and they are charging me tp ship a replacement fpr their brand new product that broke in less than a month

Cleans air. Shows all numbers on its display. Thanks

I find it too weak compared to the ad. Disappointed.

Afrer only a couple of days of use the the whole mashine burned down. It was placed to my nursery obviously its super dangerous. DON'T BUY!!!

When it comes to air purifiers, there seem to be two design camps. The first is minimalist -- a simple box in which one button controls everything. Then there are the designers like the ones behind Shark Air Purifer 3 in 1, which has more functions, display options and controls than you can count Let's see. It is an automatic HEPA air purifier of course. It also doubles as a stationary or oscilating fan, with up and down vent controls, like you probably have in your car. And it can operate as temperature controlled space heater . Automatic or manual operation is possible, giving users the choice of letting the Shark 3 in 1 control the fan speed based on temperature (in heat mode) or air quality (the rest of the time). Air purification is going on no matter what option you choose and Shark claims big round filter inside captures more "harmful micro pollutants" than its competitors. It's nice to have all these options but it does make this thing much more challenging to operate than any other other air purifier I have used. This is not just a fan in a box, which is essentially what many brands are. This fact becomes abundently clear as soon as you pull it out of the box. The 3 in 1 is literally covered with stickers that explain how all the different controls work....and reminding you to pull the filter out the clear plastic shipping bag before you run this thing for the first time. Each sticker has a QR code too, which takes you to online videos to explain the not so simple operation of this thing. I advise you watch them, and leave all those stickers on for the time being because there is a lot take in. That's all the more important since 3 in 1 comes with no printed instructions at all and unlike most other electronic devices of this era, does not have an app to walk you through everything. Once you understand how the unit works, it's not really too bad. But there are a lot of controls and buttons to consider and some things don't work at all (like the heater) if you don't have every dial in the correct position. It's a bit daunting at first blush. A round hocky-puck style panel on the top of the 3 in 1 provides overall control of the unit. It is magnetically mounted and can be easily removed ri to carry around if you want remote control, a nice touch. The various buttons on the remote give you control over fan speed, oscilation, target temperature (in heat mode), timer, display dimming and what information you want to see in the display. There is also a toggle on the side of main unit that switches the air flow from front to back. The thinking here is if you just want air purification and don't want a fan blowing on you, the air can exit unobtrusively out the back the unit. This control must be set to the front vent to run the heat. There is a 1500 watt heater inside that cranks out a good amount of heat, which can be controlled by setting a target temperature or simply running full blast all the time. Regardless of whether you are using this or fan mode (front air flow) , you can opt to manually control fan speed or select Auto and let the unit to decide how fast to run based on environmental conditions at that moment. A lighted circle display on the front chnges color to indicate whether the air quality is good, medium or bad. The fan is very quiet most of the time but will get loud if higher fan speeds are necessary to deal with poor air quality. There are bewildering number of display optons related to air quality, so you can see if the pollutants in your home are more of the small virus variety or larger pollen type crud. Four types of pollutants are measured and each one gets a number detailing its quantity in the air at that moment. There is also an overall "clean air" number, which should be at 100 if your air is nice and clean. A button on the remote allows you to switch between these various displays. But actually seeing that display is a bit of a challenge. While the big color ring around the display is nice and bright, the numbers and text in the center are so dim and/or so small, it is hard to read them unless you are inches away. Not a great design. Sleepers who cannot tolerate any light at all will be happy to know the display can be dimmed or turned off entirely. The buttons on the remote control can also be difficult to read in low light since it is not back lit . And since it is round, it is sometimes hard to determine whether you are holding it upside down. If you could see the display, it would tell you other things including time remaining on your timer, current temp or target temp in heat mode and time left before you should replace the big round filter inside. Shark says it should be replaced every 6-12 months. Filters cost about $60 at the time of this review, so clean air does not come cheap. But Shark contends you will get very clean air from the 3 in 1. The big round filter is supposed to remove pet dander, dust, smoke, pollutants and allegens in a 500 square foot area. Expect a bit of a chemical smell on startup. It goes away in time. As far as aethetics go, the Shark Air Purifier 3 in 1 is a bit more attractive than the plain boxy designs of most competitors. Shark opted for a compact round unit (white or black) with a grid at the bottom where air comes in and a faux metal ring (actually plastic) around the top. The same material surrounds the display on the front of the unit, giving it a more hi-tech appearance. Overall, the Shark 3 in 1 seems to do a good job of cleaning the air, as well as providing plenty of versatility with fan and space heater modes. If you can figure out the daunting controls and handle the heft price tag, it's a good choice. .

I have cats. They shed. A lot. This means that I deal with hair and dander. I also live in California which also means a lot of dry heat and unfortunately, the air gets smokey due to wildfires. My living environment begs for an air purifier. My previous air purifier was good but it was too sensitive and would get LOUD upon detecting a change in the air quality if anyone sneezed in the vicinity. It also didn’t have a fan/heater option. I decided that I needed to change purifiers. Set-Up: The Shark 3 in 1 is pretty much ready out of the box. Remove the stickers and the plastic covering the filter and you’re ready to go. It comes with a remote. No app to download. The Shark 3 in 1 starts up and will immediately display your air quality while also displaying the room temperature. A simple turn of the side dial allows you to switch between the air purifier or switch to the fan/heater mode. Performance: The Shark 3 in 1 is QUIET. As I mentioned before, my previous air purifier would self-adjust and would get loud at any hint of air quality change. Also, be aware that when the Shark is in purifier mode, it takes in the air from the front and disperses it out from the back whereas when in fan/heat modes, the air is pushed out from the front. The front display is illuminated just enough to allow you to read it from across the room. I also like the fact that the illumination acts as a sort of night light. If this is your first purifier, then you are going to notice a BIG difference in the amount of hair and dust that is reduced because of it. I’m not saying that you won’t have to dust again or that dog and cat dander is eliminated but you will notice that there’s a lot less of it. Well Built: There’s nothing ‘fragile’ about this Shark 3 in 1. It’s sturdy and won’t be easily knocked over by accidental bumps. The 3-in-1 remote rest comfortably within a convenient cradle built into the top of the tower. Purifier. Fan. Heater: What my previous purifier lacked was a standard fan and heater option. These are things that you don’t know that you needed until you have them in front of you. I’ve already utilized that fan feature when I just wanted to cool off the area instead of activating my AC. And I know I will be using the heater come December. It’s the little conveniences that make a difference. Shark has made an incredible device with its 3-in-1 Air Purifier. It feels like Shark approached this design from all angles and I am very happy with it. And I believe you will be as well.

No wifi connection and very slow to clean and filter the air

Wow, what a difference this 3 – in – 1 makes! I use this in a home that is surrounded by dust due to home building ad nauseum and opening our doors causes dust to come in from the outside. My wife and I were constantly dusting our great room (every second day) to keep things clean. I set up this product in the great room (which is approximately 600 sq feet) right after we dusted. It has been a week now and we have not had to dust this room – the proof is in the pudding. In testing the thermostat and heat elements, I closed off the great room doors and set the thermostat to a higher level than my home thermostat. This unit easily kept the great room at the desired temp while the rest of the house was the temperature of the home thermostat – very nice feature to have on those cold wintery nights coming! The unit comes with a handy remote that magnetically sets to the main unit so it can’t get lost. The lights on the unit can be dimmed easily and is not obnoxious at night to wake anyone. The unit runs quietly enough with soft hum that is like white noise which I actually find soothing, although that is subjective, of course. All in all, this product is fabulous and fit my needs perfectly for what I wanted/needed. I highly recommend this product!

Waste product never worked as expected, expensive filter
