Cleaner air with great features
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had many air filters in recent years and this Share Air Purifier 3 in 1 Max does all the same things as my favorites along with one new feature to me that I really appreciate. When in auto mode and your air is clean, it goes into low power mode instead running at the lowest fan setting. I only get purifiers that have an auto mode. When they sense worse air they turn up the fan to move more air in and out. Once clean, they drop to the lowest fan setting. While great, one issue with that is that it obviously uses energy when it doesn't need to. I think that might also has an effect on filter life. This solves that while retaining the ability to kick on when needed. Set up was easy. Unpack and pull off the plastic, plug in and choose how you want to use it. It has a remote that you can keep near you or sticks on top magnetically. I left it on top since I mostly run in auto mode. But since this also is a fan and heater, I tested both. It works just like a fan or space heater would. You have to turn a knob on the side to go from just air purifier to cool/heat. Then choose whichever you want on the remote and choose the fan speed. You can also choose to stay straight or oscillate. I'm not sure how often I'll use the cooling fan because it's in a room with a ceiling fan, but come winter this will be great for some additional warmth in the family room. I have a 2 story and only one HVAC unit, so if we make it warm downstairs it's far too hot upstairs. So this will help us stay warmer without having to add too many layers. Overall, the air smells fresher and it works exactly as you'd expect. One note, this does not have an app for control. I only mention it in case you care. All my other purifiers do, but quite honestly, I don't miss it. I would highly recommend this.

Excellent Air Purifier & Quiet Too!!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hello all, this is my review of the Shark Air Purifier 3in1 MAX. This filter system is absolutely great. The unit is well-packaged and unboxing was a simple matter. Just be careful, I had to place it on a towel to protect the top so it wouldn't get scratched up while turning the box upside down to remove the plastic cover. Upon plugging in the unit I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is. The Shark Air Purifier 3in1 MAX is a clean-looking unit. Mine is black and it blends fairly well with the rest of my furniture, but it is a large unit standing about 36 inches tall. Once again it's almost silent in operation. I like that because I don't want to listen to a noisy fan all the time. What shocks me is that even on the highest fan setting I hear almost nothing. The Shark Air Purifier 3in1 MAX offers several different settings, such as filter only, and filter and heat at the same time. In all modes, it is very quiet. The unit features a large cylindrical washable filter in the base. I like that. No filters to replace all the time and no landfill fodder. The shark is supposed to filter out the air for 1000 sq ft of your home. I have found this to be true. The air inside my home smells great and the allergens are reduced. It has a display screen on the front that shows you the mode that the unit is currently in. The display screen is bright and crisp and easy to read. This screen does not turn off or time out, so it may keep you awake at night if placed in your bedroom. It filters 1000 sq ft, so I put it in a place out of the way and let it run. I'm going to give this joker a 5-star rating and say that I highly recommend this to friends and family.

Product fails to deliver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great when it works. However the heat function doesn’t work all the time. Heat was the primary reason for buying this to help make the nursery warmer but unfortunately this product fails to satisfy these needs. For this price point this product cannot be recommended under any means.

May think twice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit had a rattle and did not seem to work. I probably would hesitate to make a big purchase like this. The only good thing is manufacturer is replacing with a new one but I’m not sure how I feel trying again.

Excellent design
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent air purifier. It's very quiet and with the fan off you can barely hear it is running. The air settings for the fan to blow cold, heat or just purifying is great. Living in Texas this around the time when the weather doesn’t know what it wants to do from one day to the next. Being able to switch between cooling and heat whenever I need by the twist of a lever or press of a button is very easy. There is also a remote that comes off and can be attached by magnetism on the top of the purifier when you aren’t using it. It's one of my favorite parts of the design. Kudos to the designers as I have one less remote laying around or to misplace. I have a 685 square foot apartment and this is in the hallway area and cleans the entire place. My previous Shark purifier was the big 6 fan and both work just as well especially considering how bad my allergies can get. It also has an oscillation setting which is a nice bonus. The display tells you everything you could possibly want to know about the air quality, temperature and such and can also be dimmed. It's well worth a buy and high quality like all Shark products seem to be.

"Don't mind me I'm just cleaning your air."
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm pretty satisfied with this air purifier. Lucky for us but unlucky for this review, I got this to help clean the air when we have wild fires and there haven't been any. Also we mostly get allergies in the spring and it's fall right now. So it's hard to speak to the purification because we didn't really notice a difference in the house. I mostly had to go off the air quality indicator on the unit. It is pretty quick at cleaning up the air. When I plugged it in in the evening it was around 80% air quality. Running it on auto overnight it got to 100% in the morning. This was in a big open two story area with a living room, kitchen, dinning room, and sitting room. Unfortunately I don't have square footage for the area but there's a lot of air to have to work through. There was some slight odor while it was running that was kind of an electrical smell. It's slowly gone away but I'm not sure if we got used to it or if what ever manufacturing oils wore off. On that note, it would be nice if this came with an option to add a scented air freshener. It maintained 100% for awhile so I unplugged it to see how much it was actually needed. During that time we ran the furnace some since it was getting chilly at night. When I plugged it back in after a day our air quality dropped to 60%! I'm not sure what was going on in the environment but I'm sure the furnace contributed. Surprisingly we still didn't notice the bad air quality. It did take the unit half a day to cycle through and get us back to 100%. I'm very impressed with it's throughput and even more impressed by it's silence. You can barely hear the thing running when it is just on auto purify. We turned on the heat function to help use the furnace less and it was like a typical fan. You heard it on the back ground pushing air but it wasn't enough to distract you. Besides pretty much being silent, the other features I liked were the remote, temp control, and oscillation. The remote had a home on the unit with a magnet that was great for keeping track of, it was also handy to have a remote. When we ran the heater it was easy to set the desired temp and cut it loose. Feeding into that, allowing it to oscillate helped get the hot air moving in the house. A few things I wasn't thrilled about were the unit placement and air purification selector. Unlike what the marketing pictures show the manufacturer suggests having 3 feet of open space around the entire unit. That really puts it in the way anywhere in our house. I need to try tucking it away more like the pictures show to see if we see a degradation in performance. The other slight annoyance is that there's a remote to control the unit but if you want the purification only setting you have to turn a big nob on the side. I just don't know why that couldn't of been added to the electronic controls. Also a word of caution is that the remote doubles as the main controls. So if you lose the remote you lose the ability to change the settings. Even though we didn't see any night and day change in the household I would still recommend this. I have faith based off their air quality indicator that when the time comes that pollen or smoke needs pulled from the air this will make our house a safer place.

The best room comfort device I've used, period
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love air purifiers. I already had a couple of them before getting the Shark. It touts 3 in 1 capabilities covering a sizeable space. Unboxing this purifier, the first thing I noticed is it is well boxed, well protected. There are adequate packing braces and everything is secured nicely with tape and plastic. I was very reassured that it wasn’t damaged and shipped well. Lifting it out of the box (and the box itself), I expected it to be heavier. It’s lightweight, primarily plastic, but very sleek and attractive if you like a more modern aesthetic. There was one area that felt a little loose or weak, the base, but I later learned that this air purifier actually has a rotation feature. The remote sits in a magnetic pan-like slot on top of the device, there is a dial and a few buttons, and that’s it - simple user layout. Shark recommends watching a video prior to use, but they have a very easy to follow and simple quick start guide included. I chose the latter seeing as the overall feel of Shark’s approach is one of simplicity. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that there are instructional stickers plastered all right on the side of the device. Plug it up, turn it on, fan immediately turns on, and you are treated to a digital display which has a stacked readout. The 3-in-1 starts immediately reading the air quality and displays the current temperature. The air quality measurement is displayed using a percentage along with a relative LED color. Cleaner air displays blue, with the color progressively displaying yellow/orange and red as the quality decreases. The temperature reading seems to be a couple of degrees lower than my room sensor – the Shark displayed 68 degrees while my ecobee sensor displayed 70. My first thought after powering this thing up? Quiet with good airflow. Without turning up the fan speed, I could feel the fan and heat from at least 8-10 feet – pretty impressive. I was also impressed with its ability to heat the room fairly quickly. As a purifier, the Shark does an admirable job, recognizing current air conditions and cleaning even smelly air when present. The Shark 3-in-1 air purifier has been the best such device for me since I started using it. It is quiet, but effective, has 3 modes of operation, including a heater, and has some very good tech to boot, including Clean Sense IQ. Add to this the fact that in everyday use it just works – it gets the job done in each mode. An outstanding option for anyone in the market.
