Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Shark air purifier is excellent for my living room and bedroom. The Clean Sense IQ is a pretty neat feature to have to see how your current room's air quality is. It is super lightweight and powerful. In the box is just the purifier and a little leaflet to get you started. Do not forget to flip it upside down and remove the base to reach the filter before you turn it on. You need to remove the filter from it's plastic wrapper. Performance is top-notch. Here in TX, I am deathly allergic to cedar and cats so I have an air filter in my home already to clear out the air. Not only that, recently we have had a huge dust problem with the dry, high heat. When I set up the Shark and let it run, I saw my initial air quality was 87%. Figuring with all the stuff in the air, I thought that was great already. Then I let it run on AUTO non-stop for 3 days straight and it now reads 96%. Really thought to myself, wow, that's a big difference. Went to check out the filter and lightly hit it and a ton of dust just flew off of it outside. Sound is great. When the Shark is doing it's thing to clean out the air when I first started using it, it was barely louder than a ceiling fan. When the air quality got higher, it adjusted itself to low speed and is not even audible. I did just use the AUTO feature. You can manually change the speeds to suit your needs as well. If you're an allergy sufferer like me or the air around you is bad, I would recommend jumping on this as it helps a lot.

The Shark Air Purifier MAX comes equipped with a Microban treated filter and advertises that it can purify a room up to 1,200sqft. It’s easily the biggest air purifier I have ever owned, but it’s relatively quiet operation, excellent filter, and easy to use controls and display, make it an easy recommendation for those looking for a more powerful home air purifier. Specs: Product dimensions (in.): 10.83" L X 10.83" W X 22.47" H Product weight (lbs.): 10.91 Some things to note: Shark advertises two replacement filters on their website. One is a Microban filter, and the other is not. The Microban filter runs about $89 and the non Microban filter is $69. The Microban filter is specifically treated to prevent the growth of bacteria on the filter’s surface. Also, both filters are currently a bit hard to get. As I’m writing this, both filters are out of stock on Shark’s website. Shark advertises a 6 to 12 month life expectancy on the filters, but your mileage will obviously vary depending on the existing air quality and how long you are running the fan. Experience: Set up is easy. The purifier is huge, but you must flip the unit over, untwist the bottom of the unit, and unwrap and reinsert the filter into the air purifier. The process is simple and will only take you a few minutes. The touch controls and the display are easy to use and intuitive. On an Auto setting, the fan goes off after ten minutes of not detecting any particles. But, while running the unit for several days on a low setting, I have noticed that I have already burned through around 4% of my expected filter life in less than a week. I am curious how long this filter will run. The auto setting does work, but by leaving it on Auto, I feel like I am waiting on the sensor to pick up particles. By the time it has picked up dust and other allergens, I have already breathed them in. So, I prefer a low setting on constantly, but that may burn through my filter faster than the estimated filter life span. On a low fan setting, the purifier is barely audible. On highest settings, the purifier is noticeable, but it’s not “wind tunnel loud”, either. For its size, this is one of the quietest air purifiers that I have tested. The filter has a color-coded display to correspond to air quality: blue, yellow, and red. Blue is good and during red, the fan will crank up to get air quality back to up 100 percent. So far, I have only had the air quality indicator dip below blue once or twice. One time was on a particularly windy day and the other was when my wife was cooking. Not sure what that says about her cooking, but it tells me that the unit is working and is detecting particles in the air. Conclusion: I like this air purifier. So far it has worked well. I’ve tested it in a couple of locations, and it does seem to actively detect particles and impurities in the air. My major concern is the availability and cost of replacing the filters. Hopefully, Best Buy and Shark can get more filters in stock before its time for a replacement. Breathing Easy, 4.5/5

We've owned two of these for over a year. We are very happy with them. The filters do last for quite a while. Did have an issue with the sensor on one but followed sharks troubleshooting guidance and it has been fine. Filters were hard to find but have been back in stock consistently. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and it absolutely helps pull all of that of the air.

This a good size single room air purifier from Shark who makes high quality vaccums. Starring from the good side, I can say this is an extremely quiet fan at low and midium speeds. Changing the filter is almost too easy to the point that on the carpet a strong enough twist unlocks the base which is how the filter is removed. It has 3 main spees slow, medium and fast with an automatic setting which I've yet to see its usefulness. It can tell the air quality whoch I'm not sure yet how accurate that is, but I can definitely tell the difference between before and a day after in my bedroom. The included QR code is a brilliant way to add the instruction manual via the web. It is nice and light though the build does not appear sturdy. Its also a esthetically pleasing despite the black color I got which at night is hard to see of it weren't for the blue LED circle. And about that blue circle light, it is very bright in its default setting whci can be,turned off or decreased one level no more. The manual makes a reference to a rempte whi mine did not come with. It would be nice if it did. I can't speak about durability but from my other Shark products I hope it lasts as long. The filter has at least three layers and hopefully won't cost a lot to replace.

I have tried a few different air purifiers in the last few years and most of them work well for the first week, then are clogged beyond use. Ninja clearly thought of those concerns before putting this unit onto the market! Not only is it large enough for a good sized room, the filter is well made and easy to care for, even with a dog. The unit itself looks great and makes minimal noise, less than a medium sized air circulating fan would at similar speeds, and it moves air very well. The display is nice to let you know the quality of the air in your room and offers a few different insights into what may be causing your air quality to be degraded. What I found most interesting is that the unit, placed in the same room as our oven, was able to detect the particles release from the oven and accurately gauge how long it would take to remove them from the air, at least noticeably! I would definitely recommend this product to others who like to cook and have pets, especially for the rooms that start to make you feel stuffy and sneazy!

Initial impressions: The Shark Air Purifieer Max (P200 model) is a handsome cylinder that stands about 22 inches tall and just shy of 11 inches in diameter. It is just the right size for the floor without being obtuse. But to large to be placed on a desk or dresser. I was surprised by the volume of filter exposed to the outside. Two thirds of the bottom half of the cylinder exposes the filter to the outside. The area of exposure is equivalent to that of a traditional box air filter while only taking up half the floor space. I like the large LCD display. The numbers are large and easy to read. The illuminated ring may be off putting to some people. This is especially true if you plan on running this in a bedroom. The good news is that there are three lighting levels: high, low, and off. The touch panel is also lit. All the touch settings have backlighting. The lighting levels impact all of the lighting equally with the exception of the power button and the backlight button. To either side of the LCD screen is information about how to read the LCD and the same 3D barcode found on the instruction sheet. I plan on leaving the marketing stickers on the unit. It is useful information. And the presentation of the stickers does not scream “cheap marketing material.” The unit does a good job of detecting impurities in the air and cycling through the room’s air quickly. For example, this time of year the pollen is so thick that it turns everything yellow. I set the P200 to auto. It detected the levels of pollen in the air and set an appropriate level to reduce that number to zero. In a sealed room, this process was relatively quick. With the window open the P200 would cycle through low and low medium speeds to keep the pollen count within an acceptable range. Obviously with the windows open the count will never be zero. Setup: Setup of the P200 was easy. The unit ships with a simple five step instruction sheet. Each instruction is accompanied by an image. There is also a 3D barcode that will take you to the online instruction manual. Setup took about five minutes. I set the unit about three feet from a wall, plugged it in, set the unit to Auto, and waited a minute for the unit to evaluate the air quality. Operation: On low, this unit is very quiet. There is a very distinct rattle when the fan ramps up from low to low medium. I checked the unit and cannot find anything loose or broken so I figure this is normal operation. The fan does even out when it gets up to speed. The unit will sound like a fan when the fan is set to medium and high. That’s kind of expected given the amount of air the P200 pushes at those speeds. The fan does rattle a bit when ramping up and down between speeds. As before, the rattling ceases once the fan reaches its designated speed. The unit has two operating modes: Auto and Manual. Pressing the Auto button, or either of the arrows on either side of Auto button, will switch the unit from Auto to Manual. Pressing Auto again will put the unit back into full Auto. Auto mode is tied directly to the air quality sensor. If the air quality is poor then the fan will automatically increase in speed until the sensor detects air quality returning to normal. For example, the other night my neighbor decided to smoke his tires. It’s late spring so my windows are open. Before I know it the whole house is full of burnt rubber and smoke. Airing out the house is almost never an option because the stink outside the house can linger for hours. I closed the windows, turned the P200 to full auto, and let it do its thing. The P200 detected the fumes, the LED light ring turned Orange, and the % clean air reading dropped below 80%. The fan automatically spun up and worked to cycle the air in the room as quickly as it could. Within a few minutes, air quality levels were detected to be about 90% and continued to increase over the next five minutes. I did have to move the P200 around my home to hit every room. This is mostly due to the layout of my house and not any limitation on of the P200. Overall, the P200 worked performed beyond my expectations. Smell: Yes, this is an important one. I have owned several HEPA rated air purifiers over the years and almost all of them come with a chemical smell that must gas out over time or develop a stink within a few weeks of operation. I have been running the P200 for about a week and so far there is no unnatural smells. Filter: The filter is a HEPA filter so it will clean anything out of the air that is 0.3 microns or larger. That’s the standard. It is not a HEPA filter unless it meets this standard. Final Thoughts: Overall, I am pleased with the Shark Air Purifier MAX (P200). There is the annoying fan rattle when switching between fan speeds. Otherwise, the performance has been great. The filter does not stink. The LCD is big enough to read but not so big as to be obnoxious. The color-coded LCD ring is also a great high-level indicator of air quality for those times when you are not close enough to read the numbers on the screen. The control panel is easy to use. Switching out filters are very quick. The P200 has a handle on each side for easy movement between rooms. I also like that I can turn off the LED and control panel backlighting when they are not needed. I would recommend the Shark Air Purifier MAX with True HEPA & Microban Antimicrobial Protection to a friend.

Just turn this thing on and let it go. It will be set to auto and that will give you at least 8 months of fresh air. Ans upwards to 12 months, if all goes well. It's beautiful and blends with any decor. It has everything you need to get started right out of the box. Just remember to open p the base and remove the plasics on the filter, replace the filter, close it securely and press start. I love how the indicater is color coded, from poor to fair to good quality, with red, yellow & blue rings. I can't be happier with this purifier. The only problem I have is the $300 price tag without being able to control this mobily. Other than that, this thing is excellent for any room in your home. Just as the box says, it cleans air in rooms up to 1,200 sq ft. And itt can't be denied that it is super quiet. It'll get alittle louder when it's cleaning the air, but not by too much. And it's very worth the minor nouse escalation. I can't say tenough how well this thing works. My kids have breathing issues and tend to have respiritory problems, but that seems non existant when they're in the front room, where the purifier is. i love it.Yes. I totally recommend this air purifier to all of my friends.

Works as it says. I bought this air purifier to remove cooking odors and other stale odors from my home. I noticed a difference once it started cleaning the air. We have an open concept living kitchen area. This puifier cleans the air well and is very quiet. I have not owned it very long so I will not be able to rate the durability.

This air purifier made a significant improvement in the air quality; air felt lighter and cleaner that same afternoon. This air purifier claims to cover 1200square feet- and it does! I have it set up in our kitchen and, out of curiosity, we set it up in the back room and the air quality was still at 99% just like in the kitchen. My dad has suffers from allergies and this made a significant difference for him. We have a lot of pets around the house and a dirt lot so this air purifier has proved to be a good investment. Also, the purifier is super easy to set up

This air purifier does it all and more. I love that it automatically senses when to clean and when the air is clean it goes into an eco mode. I was able to get 11 months out of our filter

Nice and quiet. It seems to help with the dust in the house. occasionally I have to blow out the air sensor as it gets stuck on high speed at times.

I've put this air purifier where I sleep. I noticed its benefit to my breathing after a few weeks. Had it for many months new. And it's quiet as a whisper.

This is a fantastic air purifier. Keeps the air clean and free of odors. Whenever someone is cooking, this thing automatically kicks into high gear and makes a huge difference. It's also quiet and automatically goes into eco mode to extend filter life. I am happy to add this shark to my air purifier arsenal. 10/10 highly recommend.

It's quiet and efficient . It does a great job. Top

We love this air purifier at the salon. It’s easy to use and very quiet. Works great and we all noticed a difference in air quality after blow drying.

Just buy it. Put it in my 1,100-ish sq foot home and within 3-4 hours, my wife and i noticed our sinus’ opening up. Its been a week and our humidifire isnt coming on nearly as often if at all and our sinus’ still feel amazing! We have forced hot air as backup and use a pellet stove as our main source of heat. I will never go without a purifier at home again!!

I really love how this shows you when the air quality is less than 100%, and then does the job to get it back to 100%, and how it goes into "sleep" mode when nothing needs to be done. This works in a large area.

The Shark is great and immediately begins cleaning at the slightest hint of smoke or a cooking odor in the air. I actually moved the Shark to my upstairs bedroom and even from upstairs it can detect me cooking in the kitchen below. I love devices that allow you to set it and forget it. The Shark has an auto mode, that adjust the fan speed based on the quality of the air. There is also an eco-mode that places the purifier in an energy saving mode but is still actively analyzing the air quality and when it detects something in the air, it immediately wakes up and begins to clean the air. Some people think the Shark is too sensitive, but I prefer it that way. As soon as the price drop, I plan to purchase 1 for every room in my home.

I bought one of these a while ago. Have used it consistently since. Have to open it occasionally to clean the air filter. Not CERTAIN, but I believe it helps air quality in my apartment a lot
