    It’s not incredibly loud, really easy to set up. It’s very portable and can fit just about anywhere. I’ve noticed the air in my bedroom has become easier to breathe and I no longer wake up with a stuffy nose in the mornings.

    I love this air purifier! It’s the 3rd one I’ve purchased for bedrooms -500 square feet coverage. Noticeable difference in air quality. I can breathe and sleep better. No more dog farts or cat litter scents lingering in the air. I researched air purifiers for weeks before making a decision. This is one of the best available due to particle size and coverage, it is not too loud, especially compared with the Levoit and Dyson air purifiers I also own. It’s aesthetically pleasing, not too bulky or heavy at all. Love the blue light turns off completely for sleepy times. I purchased this Shark because it does not have the Odor Releasing scent technology that they have in some of their other models, I believe it’s called odor neutralizer- not the odor lock. I am extremely sensitive to fragrances and do not what any chemicals being sprayed into my room. I had to go through other reviews to figure out what that meant and there were negative reviews that I read about the scent. I also do not want a smart device that connects to wifi for health concerns pertaining to excessive EMF exposure in the home with 5G. EMF exposure comes with considerable health risks as documented in thousands of studies including by U.S. military. I avoid smart devices when possible, making this Shark air purifier perfect for my home. Many brands have switched over to smart everything, unfortunately. So thank you Shark for the option. The Best Buy delivery service through Roadie was dependable and delivered earlier than expected with excellent communication from the driver via text. I am super happy with my purchase and for the price it’s the best. I happened to buy it on sale, which was even better, but if you want a better air purifier than this for the same coverage, will cost you a couple hundred dollars more. Can’t beat this!

    So I wanted a small air purifier that would work for my room. This ends up working for more then 1 I love it, nice and small. I've vaped next to it just make sure #% actually works and it does. Dropped too zero. It's same one I used for picture. This my 2nd Shark air purifier. I love this brand. Works for me and it's quiet especially in Eco mode so if your gonna sleep next to it. It'll be super quiet. You'll be good.

    We have the large unit in our living space and these units in each of our bedrooms. They are quiet and have a nighttime setting that shuts off the lights on the face of the unit. My husband’s snoring has greatly decreased and the air has no residual odors (we have an older home that before using these units was very dusty and often had a stale smell during hot or damp weather). These units have greatly improved our environment and my sleep.

    This air purifier was pleasant for me. It is elegant and lightweight, and the unit is really quiet. Overall, everything works well and I had no problems with it. My child had a dust allergy, and I could tell a change when I started using it. He is resting soundly, with no dust disturbing him.

    This Shark is small but mighty! We have a large living room that is no challenge for this shark air purifier. The salesman was so helpful he searched till he found the perfect one for our living room. It works like a charm keeping the rooms air purified.

    We bought this to see if it would help reduce the dust in our home and it definitely did. I was skeptical at first as the air quality was always 98%+...until we cooked a fragrant meal (lots of garlic) and then we heard it. The fan got louder (working harder) and the indicator was at about 60%. It took about 30 minutes after we finished cooking for it come back up to 90%+ so it confirmed for me it detected 'stuff' in the air. It has several touch controls including one to turn the display off at night as the lights can be bright in a dark space. A nice feature.

    I love this air purifier. It really made a difference in these allergy related issues I was having. I'm breathing better and you can smell the fresh air. Very refreshing. I am sleeping better at night. Everyone should have this in their home. You will see the difference right away.

    Good Room Purifier

    This is a great room sized air purifier for smaller inside areas. It has 4 fan speeds and blows clean air from the top of the unit. It has auto and manual functions too. It also has 3 display light options, Bright (good for a nightlight too), dimmer and no light. This purifier covers up to 500 sq feet and also really does help eliminate odors. I notice the air feels more comfortable and cleaner. It is light and small enough for most people to move it when they want to. I wish I had a second one. This is definitely a room sized purifier for a small hallway or office etc…I have multiple types of Shark air purifiers and they all are really good air purifiers and provide great airflow.

    I had issues with wheezing at night and allergies. Got my shark and I have not wheezed at night since. The air quality is amazing since I got it. The dust is not heavy in my room and it also keeps it a tad bit cool.
