Works great for my family and is so quiet and easy to use

Works great, helps with the dog smell. We did take the oderizer out and still does a good job.

The most straightforward and best air purifier I’ve owned. Highly recommended! Just don’t forget to remove the filter from the plastic. lol

Great, product not so loud and a decent size . It is quite big for a small room but for big open living rooms or apartments does not seem to large.

I would say that if the filter lasts for 5 years, you never turned it on. Or it was used in a clean room environment. Granted that I live close to an airport and there is a lot of dust that flies around. My filter only lasted 4 months. The product works ok. It does take a lot of particles and orders out of the air but…….. Five years sound like false advertising to me. I have a one bedroom apartment with an air purifier in the bedroom and the shark is on the counter separating the kitchen and living room. You be the judge.

SO FAR SO GOOD. I LIKE THE 0 TO 100% CLEAN AIR GUGE, WAITING TO SEE HOW LONG FILTER LAST

Amazing totally cleans up the air quality and I love how I don’t have to change our the filter .

A bit concern I brought it to a very dusty room and it says air quality is great at 100%?? when we just turn it on.

As someone who values clean and fresh air in my home, the Shark NeverChange Air Purifier has been a great addition for a cleaner home environment. With its promise of a 5-year filter life and coverage for up to 650 square feet, this air purifier has exceeded my expectations. The standout feature of the Shark NeverChange is undoubtedly its extended filter life. Too many other filters out there only have a 3-6 months lifespan and the prospect of not having to worry about frequent filter replacements is a breath of fresh air both literally and figuratively. The convenience of a 5-year filter lifespan not only saves time and effort but also proves to be very cost effective in the long run. Setting up the air purifier was a breeze, just plug it in and start using the user-friendly touch controls. This makes it super easy to customize the settings according to my preferences, that being said it would have been nice if this had a smartphone app, a remote control or a smart assistant integration for voice controls. The intuitive interface allows for effortless adjustment of fan speeds and operation modes, ensuring that you can tailor the purifier's performance to suit different situations. The touch interface has a setting for the timer where you can set it between 1 to 10 hours to automatically turn off. It has 4 fan speed settings, 2 is the sweet spot for fan noise and seeds 3 to 4 are a tad on the louder side. The Auto button is the best setting to choose because it will increase the fan speed as the clean air percentage decreases. It comes with a fragrance emitter where you control how much is sent out into the room. I personally found the fragrance to be tad overpowering but I can see it being useful if you have an open floor plan kitchen to living room and after cooking turning it on to release a pleasant smell. There is also a brightness button where you can dim the LED lights on it or completely turn them off, which is nice if you have this in the bedroom. It also comes with a lock button so kids or pets don't accidentally press it and change settings. The air purification capability of the Shark NeverChange is commendable. It efficiently captures and reduces airborne particles, allergens, and odors, leaving the air feeling noticeably cleaner and fresher. The True HEPA filter is a key component in this process, providing a high level of filtration. The design of the Shark NeverChange is sleek and modern, where it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie but not too crazy where it sticks out like a sore thumb and goes well with my office setting. The compact size doesn't compromise its ability to cover a substantial area, making it suitable for various living rooms, bedrooms, and offices. Overall, the Shark NeverChange Air Purifier has become a great addition to my home. Its long filter life, effective purification capabilities, user-friendly design, and smart settings make it a standout choice for those seeking a high-quality air purifier. You can't go wrong picking up the Shark NeverChange Air Purifier.

Love it! Feel healthier already I suffer all year long and I knew it wasn’t just an outside problem. My doctor recommended I buy a purifier asap and yup, here’s the proof!

The Shark NeverChange is a great air purifier for those looking to added a little more to a healthier lifestyle without the hassle of having to change air filters every 3 to 6 months. With its minimalistic yet sleek style the small stature insures that this purifier will not stand out like a sore thumb. Set up of the unit is quick and very easy, quite honestly all that is required is simple removal of packaging. The unit comes with a spherical HEPA filter which acts as the main filtration, along with two collectors along the sides of the unit where air is drawn in. The collectors act as pre-filters which help gather bigger particles such as pet hair and dust. These pre-filters can be removed and washed which will help limit how fast the main filter gets plugged up. The purifier also comes with a added scent cartridge which can be added to give the room a nice smelling aroma. The scent pouch is adjustable insuring that you don't overwhelm a room with too much of a good thing. The front facing LCD screen will light up with three different colors depending on how bad the air quality is. Depending on your settings the forward facing LCD screen will also display either air quality in percentage form, i.e. 20%,100% so on, or it will display your PM (particulate matter) which is basically how much airborne particles are floating around in your given space. One thing to note is while this unit does filter particulates it does not filter or track gasses such as Radon, methane or other types of gasses that may be a concern. There are other VERY expensive units that will detect and filter out gasses but keep in mind this unit will not do that. This unit does allow you to set up child locks and does offer sleep timers as well. The auto function will also detect air quality and adjust your fan speed as necessary. The fan motor is very quite and even at the highest setting is still not loud enough to drown out my TV. Now as far as well it works, well lets just say it works very well. I have a daughter who has a pet cat that basically will not leave her room. Her room does not smell the best to say the least, due to the litter box and pet dander. After setting this up in her room the purifier turned RED right away and measured a air quality of 50% with a PM 1.0 measuring about 10. With the auto setting turned on the unit went right to work in full speed mode and after about 30 minutes air quality had jumped to 90% with no PM being measured even at the smallest amount. The air legitimately smelt cleaner and even almost left you with a crisp fresh sent as you breathed. I hate that i had to use my daughters room as a test subject but i love the fact that it actually did its job and it did it efficiently. Once air quality was brought up to 90% the auto feature then adjusted the fan speed down to the lowest setting as it no longer had to work as hard. As far as the claim of this being a 5 year filter, only time will tell. I do worry about how well the filter will last with people with pets, such as myself. But one thing i can attest to that brings me reassurance is that i own quite a bit of Shark products with all of them living up to their claims and being built to last. While the 5 year benchmark still remains yet to be tested, i can say confidently that this air purifier is a must have for pet owners and anyone looking to add a extra layer of protection against airborne particulates. A couple things to note at the time of writing this review. There is currently no available app to access any features and im not exactly sure if the filter is strong enough to filter airborne disease such as the common cold or covid. With that being said there definitely is a noticeable difference in air quality with this unit.

What got me interested in this Air Purifier is the “10x longer filter life” where it says you won’t need to replace filters for up to 5 years. Which I certainly like as I’m lazy and don’t like remembering or paying for filter replacements. Since I haven’t had this for a long time, I can’t claim how true or false that statement is. I can say the filter looks impressive. Also, based on specs it looks to be good. You also have some dust filters on both sides that are plastic that you can clean from time to time to help prevent the main filter from being overburdened. Again, with it being so new I can’t mention how good/bad this works. But Shark is a reputable brand so I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt. It comes with a slot on the top which they dub “odor Neutralizer Technology which gives a fresh scent into your air. Kind of like laundry soap. You can adjust the intensity to be quite strong to barely noticeable. This does need to be replaced after a while. This helps if you are trying to cover a bad smell by putting it and the purifier to max. If you have one of there newer vacuums it is the same tech here. Just for the air purifier instead of their vacuum. There are four fan modes. The fourth mode isn’t all that loud, 62 dB (right on it) and about 50 dB about 2 feet away. Which is great. I left it on Auto and almost never heard the fans. But knew it was working as anytime someone is cooking, or if something was burnt it would turn on for a while to purify the air. But in general sat right at 100%. It is quite compact and looks professional. Making it easy to kind of blend into whatever room you are using it in. The front screen is a high-quality panel that usually just shows you what the air quality is out of 100% and will change color (yellow for moderate and red for bad and blue for good). If you press the ‘i’ on the top of the device which is another high-quality display but touch this time you can cycle through the different particles. Which was at 0 for me. My other purifiers usually say around 4. Making me think that either A. This is doing a better job (unlikely) or B. It isn’t as sensitive. Going around clockwise from left to right you also have a timer (where it will go then turn off in hour increments up to 12 hours), brightness (bright, dim, off. Where it will only show brightness and power button when off which is dim, but could be dimmer but doesn’t interfere with my light sensitive eyes when I’m sleeping), filter life check, and lock. In the middle you have your fan speed and auto fan button. It does not appear to have an app associated with it. Which in 2024 is wild to me. But you won’t see me complaining about that. Overall, this is the same quality if not better than the other air purifiers I’ve tried. And if I replace the filters a lot less often, then it’s an easy win for me.

I have had several air purifiers over the years. Some big some small. Usually the small ones have a rating of up to or around 100-150 square feet. This model claims 600+ which is a small apt. We have a 1650 square foot house and need something powerful. And after using this shark never change purifier I can say I feel like it does handle large areas. We all suffer from bad allergies year round unfortunately. And we haven’t had as bad allergies as normal. This little machine pushes a lot of air and isn’t obnoxiously loud at full speed, like many others ther brands. It’s a nice white noise imo while using in the house. My wife loves it since it’s not huge and taking up more space. The screen is nice as well and can be dimmed completely so you don’t waste electricity and it won’t bother you whiling using at night in your bedroom. It will tell you how clean your air is. And I can tell you it is accurate because after cooking the unit will show bad air quality in the low 70s and it will filter the air and raise the number back up to 99-100%. You will notice the change I promise you. How shark managed to build such a small unit to be so powerful is amazing. Also as you can see the filter will have up to a 5 year use life. if you use it everyday the filter should last at least 3-4 years. That for me is one of the huge selling points as filters can become costly after having to replace every 6 months or so. Peace of mind is important! For the price this is a good buy and well worth it if you suffer from allergies like we do.

>> Review The Shark HP152 NeverChange Air Purifier has been a great addition to my home. I have kept it running for these past days in its default Auto Mode (settings adjusted automatically by the device) with visible overall great results, the air has felt very clean and fresh throughout the whole house. The main inconvenience I’ve found so far is when I need to move the Air Purifier from one area to another (from the second to the first floor), given that there is no easy way to hold the device from the sides or top (I would have expected to find handles or similar on the sides and/or top), I must lift and hold it from the bottom. Its main filter is advertised to last for 5 years, so I assume that is where it got the NeverChange label. Also, there are side dust filters which can be cleaned easily; so, it seems like a low maintenance air purifier. I’d been debating on whether to give this device a 5 or 4 for some time already; definitely, I think this device deserves at least a 4. - Pros: works fast, quiet, auto/manual modes, easy to clean outer dust filters, long lasting HEPA filter, adjustable odor neutralizer intensity. - Cons: no handle(s). >> Setup Follow the guidelines in the Quick Start Guide to help with setting up the Shark HP152 Air Purifier, the one thing to be careful of is to remove the plastic cover from the main filter (well there is a yellow warning label telling the need to do so). The Quick Start Guide also has a QR code for easy access to the documentation and instructional videos on your mobile device. I am mostly a PC guy, so a quick search for Shark HP152 produces all I need. >> Odor Neutralizer To be accurate, it is not that you’d get a “neutral” odor, but just whatever scent the Odor Neutralizer’s fragrance cartridge came with. The fragrance cartridge that came with this device has a citrus-like smell that I really dislike, it feels too intense and overwhelming. I was planning on getting lavender or roses scent-based cartridges, but my search online hasn’t produced any results to find replacements for it so far. I’d think something like lavender/roses scent would be great for bedroom areas, while citrus scent seems more targeted towards kitchen or living room areas. I wonder if the Citrus smell is the signature Shark’s smell, since I also have a Shark vacuum that has the same scent for its odor neutralizer. The good news is that you can adjust the Odor Neutralizer’s intensity. So, for my home office room, I can set it to the minimum, and well, even at the minimum I don’t keep it too close to me that the air vent hits my face with the intense odor (which happened a couple of times already). For more smelly areas, like the kitchen (especially when some of those cooking accidents occur), you can even set it to maximum intensity for quick foul-smell riddance. >> Functioning modes So far, Auto Mode has been working fine and I haven’t had yet the need to manually set any setting in my everyday use. Well, I’ve purposedly tried the manual settings as part of my need-to-know about the Air Purifier features, but in regular everyday life, Auto Mode seems to suffice. It adjusts to the situation at hand, if the air purity and smell is great (the device shows 100%) the fan would stop and reactivate whenever changes to the air quality and smell were detected. Nevertheless, you might feel like wanting to adjust different settings, such as timeout, fan intensity, among others, which you can do with ease. Note that it doesn’t have a control remote or App (no Wi-Fi), but I have not seen the need for those, so I am not including those “missing” features as flaws. Overall, the Shark HP152 Air Purifier is very quiet compared to other devices I have (well, those other devices are also a little bigger and older than this one). >> Portability The Shark HP152 Air Purifier is somewhat light but moving it around is not as easy as one would want, it lacks handle(s) or something to hold on to while carrying from one place to another. The side panels could be mistaken as potential areas to place your fingertips to lift the device, but then they’d become detached, and you’d find yourself with two panels on each hand (definitely, this is a design flaw). We usually move the Shark HP152 from one room to another as needed during the day, and at night, we’ve found that placing it on the second-floor aisle outside the master bedroom, or on the first floor in the section connecting the living room and kitchen, helps in getting the clean and pure air we want.

MARKETING Shark’s “Never Change” marketing is a stretch and honestly quite gimmicky. By “Never Change”, Shark means that the HEPA filter can last up to 5 years before needing replaced. This, of course, if you read it correctly does say; UP TO. It doesn’t mean that it will last 5 years and doesn’t mean the HEPA filter will never need changed, unless Shark does not intend for their machine to last that long. Don’t know. But just note, this is not a “Never Change” product, as the filter is designed to be replaced when full. DESIGN Now that I got my rant out of the way, I will say Shark did a good job at designing the pre-filter system in this air cleaner. To extend the life of the HEPA filter, Shark has incorporated 3 separate pre-filters to help stop most of the contaminants before reaching the actual HEPA media itself. Anyone that has purchased an air cleaner, must agree that the overall price of filter media is outrageous. Much like buying an inkjet printer. The machine is reasonably priced, but the consumables are what gets you. Shark’s excellently designed pre-filters do a good job of capturing most contaminants up front. The drawback, which I would gladly trade for any day, is more maintenance by the consumer with the pre-filters. A few minutes of your time every month or so, cleaning the easily accessible pre-filter media, will greatly extend the life of the HEPA filter, thereby substantially reducing the overall cost of ownership of the cleaner. Excellent concept Shark. Kudos!!!! USE I like this Shark’s premium look and feel. The controls look and operate like a high-end device should. I also like that Shark has omitted what you really don’t need in an air filter, Wi-Fi. Thankfully, a device that doesn’t need internet access, it just sits there doing its job and looks good doing it. This is the first air cleaner I’ve seen and/or used in long time that includes a small device for freshening the air. Shark gives a sample of it in the device, but as the scent gets weaker from use, the owner can purchase additional capsules that lock into the top of the cleaner and gradually release a fresh scent of choice as the Shark runs. The front display gives you all the information you could want at a quick glance. The outer blue ring indicates air quality. Blue being the best, changing to amber and then red as air quality worsens. Machine controls for monitoring filter life, pre-filters, particle count, etc. are all simple and readily accessible by the capacitive touch controls on the top. You can easily toggle between air quality, filter life, pre-filter life, fan speed, operating modes, etc. The most important button on the top is easily the AUTO button. Using auto lets the machine decide fan speed based on current air quality. As air quality worsens the machine will automatically ramp up fan speeds to help clean faster. As quality improves, it gradually slows down until it reaches 100% quality for up to 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, it will turn on ECO mode and sits there, whisper quiet, slowly cleaning the air, while maximizing filter life. NEGATIVES While I love the look of the machine and readouts, I would like to have some additional dimming steps built in. There are only 3, as of now. Bright, Mid, Off. I would like to see a couple of additional steps in between, as even on the middle setting the light emitted is quite bright, especially in a darkened bedroom. I would love to see a LOW setting, where everything is just barely visible. Machine noise at 99% vs 100% is quite noticeable. While not horribly loud, the machine does get obtrusive if air quality diminishes too much. Thankfully, I have not had air quality dip below 98% in the bedroom I have this placed. But you can instantly tell when the machine changes from 100% to 99%. The increase in noise is quite noticeable and becomes much like a bedside fan, which if you sleep with fan, may not be a bad thing. CONCLUSION After a week, the overall dust in my bedroom (the machine cleans rooms up to 650 sq ft) has declined substantially. There is no reason not to recommend this machine. If the consumer recognizes that the “Never Change” speak is purely marketing, then they will be hard pressed to find a better device. I will gladly take a little extra maintenance and attention on my behalf to delay purchasing pricey replacement media. I think a lot of people feel this way and Shark has answered their requests. RECOMMENDED.

There are so many things to love about this Shark NeverChange Air Purifier. First and foremost, I love the sustainability aspect of not having to constantly replace the air filter. In addition to reducing waste and carbon footprint, it also doesn’t become a financial drain to run it. Aside from that its filter exceeds HEPA standards and can easily be cleaned by vacuuming, wiping or rinsing. My personal preference is to just give it a good rinse. Ever since I got this unit, I have had it running in my living room on Auto. I can tell it is definitely working and doing a great job at keeping the air clean. It tends to stay in the 90th percentile for the most part but my mom, who lives with us, likes to burn oil to cook her eggs in the morning and when she recently did this the air filter kicked into full gear to purify the air, showing the air quality plummeted drastically. It was actually a great way to prove to her just how bad burning oil is to our lungs, not to mention the detrimental health aspect of ingesting it. She has since changed her ways and I thank the Shark NeverChange purifier for it. Within half an hour the smell of the burnt oil was filtered out of the air without ever having to open a window to let in the frigid cold to ventilate the house. Before owning an air purifier this smell would linger in the house all morning so I can attest that it is working phenomenally. One thing I have noticed about this is that, since I have it on a pathway, whenever someone passes by, the air quality seems to immediate lower according to the purifier’s sensor. I presume that the lint that falls from our clothing may be to blame, but don’t know for sure. The digital controls register touch easily and the purifier adjusts immediately to changes. I like that the display is dimmable in case it is used in a bedroom because I cannot stand any light whatsoever when I sleep. It also has the ability to be set on a timer. There are four fan speeds to choose from when not on Auto. I would note that it can get pretty loud when its running full speed and blows out a lot of air. This does not bother me much; just thought I would point it out. Conversely, when it is at the lowest speed it is super quiet and great for the nighttime. The display can be changed to show the air quality by percent, or by the amount of either PM1, PM2.5, or PM10 in the air. I highly recommend this air purifier both for its financial and ecological sustainably aspects and for its ability to keep the air clean and healthy in the home. I have this on 24/7 and have noticed a positive difference in my home’s air quality since I got it.

The Shark - Never Change Air Purifier, 5-Year Filter Life in black states that it covers up to 650 sq ft.is a wonderful concept that I hope proves out to be true. What comes in the box- 1 purifier machine, 1 never change HEPA filter, and 1 odor neutralizer insert. The HEPA filter is supposedly the game changer that is supposed to last up to 10x longer, thus saving the user lots of money, which will have to prove itself over time. They explain that this specific HEPA filter has 3 layers of protection starting on the outside from pet particles, if applicable, activated carbon that combats odors, and a nano seal that works on dust and smoke. Those of you who purchase and use air purifier machines, for either your home or work environments, know that the greatest cost, over the years, is in the cost of the filters that are necessary for filtration. Additionally, this air purifier is fairly small in size, 13.2"Lx13.2"Wx22.5"H, in, and mostly inobtrusive is taking on not only the filter life issue, but also that a smaller machine can efficiently function in a larger sq ft area. Oh, another plus with this smaller-sized unit is that it only weighs about 12lbs and is easily moveable around your spaces. Also, this machine communicates with you and has an LCD screen, easily viewable, that shows you at what percent your air is clean, with a color ring around that number that automatically alerts you to whether the air quality is good, bad, or ugly. That alone is a game changer to me. Shark knows that filter costs, over the life of any purifier is a negative, and I can only hope that their crack engineering department has truly figured out how this can be successfully overcome. Physically, this machine's 2 sides are sloped, and they come that way to function as debris defenders with removable screens that are cleanable and add protection against larger pieces or items from getting into the areas of filtration. Oh, a couple of last-minute things. When 1st setting up, a sticker on the top instructs you to turn the machine upside down to open up the machine from the bottom and remove the filter so that you can take off all the plastic packing from the filter. Two, the odor neutralizer insert comes in its own little packaging within the bigger box, and when I opened the big box, I lost control over that item. I then called Shark's toll-free customer service to see if it came with this model, and while they were very friendly, they gave me the wrong answer because I eventually found it, they said that it did not. However, their customer service did register it for me and there is a 1-year warranty. Bottom line, while I am currently very happy with the system that I set on automatic, I do not know if what Shark states about the longevity of the filter life is true, and I have to reserve judgement on that for now.

This purifier has made a huge difference for me. I have been dusting less and have happily noticed a big improvement in my allergy symptoms- itchy eyes and sneezing. I move it to the kitchen while cooking and it quickly removes food odors from the air. I like that it is a small unit that has plenty of power. It's nice and quiet- does not disturb my work day or sleep at night. Was recommended to me by a coworker who has the larger model- so glad I took her advice. Now I am the one recommending it!

We’ve struggled to keep the air in our home clean for quite some time. We have dogs and it’s an older home. We’ve used different air purifiers over the years and while they have done a fine job, the filters give out far too quickly. So, the lost-lasting filter with the NeverChange purifier was very appealing to me. Setup: The setup of this air purifier is exceptionally easy. You remove it from its pacakging and then flip it over. You then have to twist the bottom off to remove the Hepa filter and pull the plastic wrap off of it. You are also instructed to unwrap the odor neutralizer cartridge and insert it. Once you are certain all the stickers and tape are removed from the unit, you can plug it in and turn it on. That’s it. There are three options for operation - Auto, Eco Mode, and manual. I opted to use Auto mode as that is what we have done with other purifiers. Overall Impression/Usage: One of the things I really like about this device is its size. While it has the ability to clean up to 650sqft, it’s small in comparison to some other devices that cover a similar amount of space. I also really like that you shouldn’t have to change the filter for 5 years. I would imagine that if you have an exceptionally dirty environment such as a wood working shop or several pets, that the timespan of the filter might be shorter. So far, I’m very pleased with the operation of this device. I have been using it primarily in a small office where one of my dogs spends most of his day. It’s my fiance’s work space so she keeps the room closed off most of the time for meetings. This leads to a decrease in airflow to the room. The NeverChange has been helpful in keeping air circulating. It is too soon to know if the 5-year lifespan is accurate, but so far the purifier has been doing its job.

The Shark NeverChange Air Purifier is a great little air purifier that has the great benefit of not having to buy filters for up to 5 years. You do still have to clean the 1st line of filters on the side, but the main filter is the one with incredible endurance! There is no remote with the unit but it does have an "Auto" mode that constantly scans your air quality and then ramps up or down the purifying based on the current air quality. It works great and it's nice to know when you air quality is bad because there is a circle light on the front that changes color based on the current air quality. On max the Shark gets a little loud but it's worth it knowing you are breathing in fresh clean air. If you use an air purifier a lot, be sure to check your air humidity levels as over use can make the air a little dry but it is easily addressable. The scent pack was easy to install and it does make the area where is cleaning smell really good and fresh, I only wish they included a larger supply. Overall, the Shark NeverChange Air Purifier is a great addition for any home and I definitely recommend it.
