Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for a friend and now when im over I can breathe better.

I like that the screen tells you how clean the air. Works well after 2 months use. Might get louder after being on all night. Only concern is that I can’t find filters.

Not good at all, dont spend money on this, i dont know whats with all these good reviews it literally does nothing, keep windows open when you can, get flowers cause they keep the air fresh and you are good

Nice looking unit. Made adorable little beeps. Did absolutely nothing. Total waste of money. I cannot imagine how this unit has so many good reviews.

It doesn’t even detect the smell. I thought it would clean the air with odor too.. but I put it next to kitchen, the screen shows 100% clean even I can smell the odor

I dont see much difference after running it. Pretty disappointed

It always showed the air to be 100% but it was clealy not

This air purifier just stopped working after only using it a month. Would not buy again. Disapointing

I live in dusty Las Vegas, where air purifiers are a necessity. I have one in almost every room, all them made by different manufacturers. This is my first Shark air purifier, but not my first Shark product. I have a Shark robot vacuum and a couple of Shark floor vacuums. I have been impressed since day one when I purchased a Shark Lift Away floor vacuum and saw the difference between it's suction power and a much more expensive name brand. Shark literally wiped the floor with the much more expensive unit and I've been a fan ever since. Getting back to the Shark Air Purifier, it comes with a couple of extra bells and whistles you don't see at this price. It has a HEPA filter, which is supposed to filter out 99.9% of particulates in the air (take that, Vegas dust!), it has a sensor and display that let you know the quality of the air in the room you are in, and it has an eco mode that only runs it when air quality gets low enough to require it. No more running the filter 24/7 or having to turn it on whenever you think it might need it. Just set the Shark to auto and let it measure the air and do its thing. That sounds great in theory, but how about real life use? I can tell you that the Shark reacts extremely well to changes in air quality and ramps up as needed. I set it in my dining area just off the kitchen to start. Kids were cooking a frozen pizza in the oven and managed to drop some cheese and pepperoni on the oven floor. A burned smell commenced, and the Shark immediately ramped up, showed less than 90% air quality on the display, and ran for almost 15 minutes as the air quality ramped up to 100% again. Then it shut off and waited for the next kitchen catastrophe. I decided to move it to my daughter's room (she has a long-haired cat that sheds everywhere). Turned it on, and it immediately sensed that air quality was less than desireable. It ramped up for about 5 minutes and brought the air quality back up to 100. I opened a window to air out the room, and it was a little windy and dusty outside. The Shark somehow knew, ramped up (air quality was down in the 80s at this point) and stayed on the whole time the window was open. Pretty impressive in auto! Operation is quiet, and even on the high speed it is no louder than an oscillating fan on low. The display was super bright and kind of distracting, but fortunately there is a dimmer button that allows you to turn it off. Filter life is stated by Shark to last at least 8 months and as long as a year, which I think is a result of the fan entering eco mode when it is not needed. Vegas air may clog the filter up sooner than that, but we'll see. Overall, I'm super impressed with this little unit and it is my favorite out of all the units I own. Highly recommended!

Loud and sometimes never stops and I’m not sure if it’s really working.

I'm so pleased with this purchase! At first I was skeptical that it worked because it initially reported our air quality to be very good; when we lit a candle in the same room, the air quality report immediately plummeted. It has helped eliminate cooking and pet odors from our home. I love the eco mode! The machine is usually very quiet when the air quality is decent, but it does get quite loud when it's bad (i.e. when we're cooking). It does work quite fast to get the air quality back to an acceptable level. Very easy to set up. Overall I'm very pleased with our first air purifier purchase!

It just moves air, it filters nothing, the product was a waste of money.

This is a first Shark Air Purifier that I've had the pleasure of using. I do own several shark vacuums that work like a charm. I was interested to see if the two were comparable. I was not disappointed. This air purifier is spec'd to purify up to 500 sq ft so we popped it in an area where we keep our golden doodle. Although the breed of dog we have does not shed much at all, we still experience more than normal dust and dander in the area where he sleeps. Upon turning it on, I discover that the air purifier is very easy to use and could be used by a novice or elderly person to get True Hepa clean air in their area. The air purifier is small and quiet but sucks a ton of air which you can feel just by holding your hand over it. The Purifier told me my air was about 85% when turning it on. I left it on high for about 2 hours and came back to it floating between 98-99%. Wow. After that I've been leaving it on auto so that it turns itself on and off when needed. It also tracks 3 different particulates PM1, PM2.5, and PM10. The only thing I would enjoy having is a wifi connection to monitor the air quality thru an app, however I know that would likely increase the cost and effect the ability for some to be able to use it. I know it would be easier for my grandmother to use this than for me to come over and hook it up to wifi and have to troubleshoot any issues. Filters are said to last 6 months to a year depending on your usage. Filters on the shark website range from $60-$70 depending on the kind you choose so factor that into your cost after 1 year. For the cost and value I think Shark has hit another one out of the park with this little guy and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful purifier that can clean a 500 sq ft area without the wifi/bt bells and whistles.

I have a few air purifier units around the house and wanted one for my office. It’s one hundred square feet or eight hundred cubic feet. The unit states it will cover up to 500 sq. ft., so I figured this would be perfect for the space and the adjacent hallway. I unboxed the unit and all I needed to do was unscrew the bottom cap, unbag the filter, reinstall it and plug the unit in. Turning the unit on, I was surprised how quiet it is in high-speed mode. Most of my other units are really quiet in every mode except full speed. It seems at full speed, manufacturers decide you’ll live with the noise, but not the Shark unit. The noise is there, but it's easy to live with. I also like the small size of the unit. It takes up little floor space and is easy to move around the house should I need it elsewhere. As I said, I use a few HEPA filter units and a DustMagnet throughout the house. I live in the desert of Southern California and have allergy issues. My doctors say I should move, but just about everywhere has grass, dogs, cats, evergreens, and all my other allergies, so these purifiers are a lifesaver. I like the easy-to-see air quality colors on the unit. They are a large ring, about two ½” around the display making it visible from across the room. This one was blue out of the gate and has been 98-100% since. It also has the Clean Sense IQ to adjust fan speed as needed, but I prefer to just turn it on when I’m in the room and it does an excellent job. Having the auto-adjust is a nice feature should I want to run it overnight while I sleep. I’d recommend this to a friend or anyone with allergy issues. With its HEPA filter’s ability to capture micro-sized particles and sensors that measure particle sizes PM1, PM2.5, and PM10, allergy sufferers like me can rest easy knowing our living spaces are less likely to make us sick.

The Shark Air purifier brings a peace of mind that not many products do. With the Shark Air Purifier with True HEPA you get to filter out the pollen, allergens and particles that cause many issues. For me my allergies are very bad with pollen season seemingly all year round in Florida. Once I opened the box it was very simple to setup and get going. I found a perfect location out of the way from everything else in the room giving it ample room to work and collect. I left it on for a few nights and noticed I wasn’t waking up sneezing or having severe congestion. I was able to breathe better and sleep much more comfortable. The minimized effects of pollen for me was noticeable but was also felt by my family who noticed their congestions and reactions to pollens were reduced. Based on these facts I actually purchased a larger unit for the family room. This product made me a believer and loving the results this has on my home and my health. If you are looking for something to help filter out the pollen and other particles in your home get the Shark Air Purifier with True HEPA.

I am really impressed with this air purifier. A few key things I like is the fact the filter is expected to last up to a year before needing replaced. A lot of these filters require 3-6 month pops at a hefty price. This unit automatically adjusts to the allergens in the air, if you want to test it. Burn a piece of toast in the toaster with this nearby. The clean percentage drops quickly. I have noticed this when dogs walk near it and other items when added into the room I have it in. The purifier will do a 500 sqft room pretty quickly. It runs for about 10 minutes before it quiets down after it reached 100% cleaned. You can scroll through the different results with the info button on the screen. You can see how long you have on the filter, clean percentage and other stats. I have noticed a definite change in air quality, especially now in the spring with pollen being so high. I moved the unit from my office to one of the bedrooms and within a hour I was doing the allergy sneezes. It definitely work as advertised.

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.

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.

Easy plug and go. Really cleans the air and does not take a lot of space.

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.
