    It works. It's got the filter life so you know when to change the filter. Given ea. filter last a year but the amount of dust and particles it pulls from the air is amazing! It does a good job from keeping me from sneezing. PS: I always recommend buying the oem shark filters as the 3rd party off shoots just don't do the filtration that well.

    OK Purifier

    Purifier seems to work good. The first couple of days, the system said I was receiving 98-99% purified air, occasionally dropping into the 80s when we would cook or light candles. After we were done cooking or put out the candle, the Shark would slowly return back to the 98-99% range. Then, after the first few days, the purifier dropped into the 70s and no matter where we place it in the house, it stays in the yellow and low 70s. We moved it to our hair salon into a smaller room, same thing. Constantly fluctuating around the low 70s. So, I can not really tell if it is correct or not but it did seem to purify the air, and I could tell in the smaller rooms. Controls are easy to use and read. Getting to the filter is a breeze. The Shark is pretty quiet, not overly loud but the fan would kick in and the audible noise did make me think we had left an appliance of some sort on and I would go into the kitchen area to make sure. Overall, I like the purifier. Easy to set up, small enough to hide in a corner and it seems to do an ok job.

    Saved Me From a Weekend of Sneezing 'n' Scratching

    This thing is awesome! I got it because I was on a trip visiting a friend who has cats, and I'm severely allergic to the cute little things. Kept having sneezing and itching attacks despite the fact that the room, sheets, etc. had just been deep cleaned and the cats weren't allowed in. Swept and re-washed the sheets once more, then ran out to buy an air purifier because I had heard from my brother (who lives with cats and is allergic) that getting one completely changed his life. He couldn't have been more right! By the third day all allergy symptoms were gone, and I could live life free of allergens (as long as I stayed in that room). It worked really well for me, and even though I'm not sure how accurate it is, I loved watching the percentage of clean air, and then getting to flip through the different kinds of particles in the air (pollen, smoke/dust-sized, allergens). Definitely worth the last minute purchase! And after doing a little bit of research on air purifiers I got scared that, in my haste, I would accidentally buy one that releases the toxic... something into the air. Low and behold- this one is cited as being very safe! Definitely thnk you get your bang for your buck.

    Silent, Near Perfect

    So having a family member that has significant allergies, this time of year is challenging. We want the windows open to get the great fresh air, but that brings in the sneezes and sniffles. Mix in the concerns with everything else in the air, we decided to upgrade our air filter in our master bedroom to this one. and overall it has been great. First, extremely easy to setup. out of the box, you simply need to remove the plastic on the filter, put it back in... and you are ready to go. Plug it in tap the button, and it is going. Took it about 3 minutes to identify the current level of the room, and it did it's thing. the fan is nearly silent, you can't hear it. The only way I heard it is sitting right next to it, turning off everything else of sound in the room, and really focused in. Just can't hear it. In the first night, we woke up to it being 100%... good to go. As for the allergens and other things.. so far so good. multiple nights with the windows open ,no issues. We will see if it continues the same way, and minimized other health items. But so far so good. The ONLY nit pick, and maybe I am missing something... is the blue glow from the control panel. it is bright, so we had to turn the unit 180 degrees, so it faced the wall, to minimize the light in the room. Other then that, no issues. One downside that this, and all other similar devices... the filter. eventually we will need to get a replacement filter, and looking right now... only once place to get them. so we will see what happens when that day comes

    I have a historic loft and one of the things I struggle with most in the space is air purification. While I have some larger units in other areas of the loft, I wanted an air purifier that was capable of covering the square footage of my home office only. In looking around I found that the Shark was one I'd never seen before but a brand I've trusted with other aspects of my household for many years now. Right out of the box I found that this unit was extremely easy to use. For setup, you simply turn the handle on the bottom to access the air filter, unpackage it, screw it back in and off you go. The automatic function on the unit "reads" the air and sets the fan speeds according to what's going on in the air around you. This is great compared to other units I have that seem to only run at one speed - full blast - and the unit is whisper quiet while it's doing its thing. You have real time visualization of air health using the percentage display on the front of the unit as well as touch buttons across the top for when you want to take over the functionality manually. All in all I would say that this unit is a great value for the price and is very much a "set it and forget it" type of product that should be very easy to use and maintain.

    It runs very quietly. It's easy to operate. It did not take a lot of time to think. That's what I like best. I recommended it to my family member. It's light, the old people like me can carry it any room that I want to put. I do not know where to buy the filter in the future.

    Nice and compact air filtering

    I have another Shark air filter that's a much larger floor unit. It's been working really well for a while now in my dining room area which is a fairly large room with a pretty open space leading to the living room. This is turning out to be a great addition to use in a smaller bedroom while still getting the same good performance. Setup is a breeze like is usually the case with air purifiers. There are a bunch of labels everywhere telling you to make sure you open up the unit to take the filter out of the bag before you begin operating it. This takes about a minute and you're ready to go. Plug it in and it started up in automatic mode for me. This smaller unit seems to take care of the same number of particles as the larger one we have does. You have multiple information displays that you can toggle between that tells you how many of each particle size are currently detected, how long it'll take to finish cleaning, or the current % of "air quality" you have. One feature this unit has that my larger one doesn't (which I really wish it did because my toddler really likes to press buttons) is a lock button. You can press and hold the lock button to lock the rest of the buttons from being triggered. This would do wonders to prevent my daughter from accidentally turning the fan up to max because she likes the way it makes beep sounds when she touches it. Just like my larger unit, this does a good job cleaning the air. It's rated for 500 sq ft and the room I'm currently using it in is probably close to that size and it doesn't have any problem keeping it clean. If you're in the market for a nice, small air purifier, this one might be a good fit for you if it falls in your budget. I've had good success with Shark brand air purifiers and am happy this one lives up to my expectations.

    3 purifiers purchased over the last 3 months.

    This is my third Shark air purifier (2nd 500) since late November. The other is the one with the five year filter. Because I was pleased with the more powerful purifier for our 1st floor I added a 500 for our finished basement a month later and then a 2nd one for an upstairs bedroom this month. More comfortable breathing and less coughing are my benefits.

    This air purifier works pretty fast and works perfectly fine in my 1600 sqft townhome. Also it’s pretty silent until you’re probably cooking and it will automatically turn on high to purify faster. However, it’s still pretty silent.
