Customer Ratings & Reviews

Does almost everything i needed it for. Properly priced for what it could do.

My daughter loves this for her college dorm. I love that she doesn’t have to change a filter

We have the bigger version of the shark purifier and decided to get a small one for the bedroom we really like them and you save money on the filters

Small and portable yet very efficient. The odor remover is slightly disappointing however

Love this little air cleaner, love the fact I can take the filter out and clean it

This is a nice, compact, one-room air purifier. It has “never change” in its name which is a bit of an exaggeration. More accurately it’s a “seldom change” system as far as the filter. Shark has figured out that the cost of filters is a major drawback with most of the competition, and they designed their series of air purifiers to address this. The cost of most Hepa filters is in the $60-100 range, and many purifiers need a filter change every 3-6 months. Shark claims up to 5 years before a new filter is needed. One of the ways they accomplish this is with an easily removeable and cleanable pre-filter. As stated, this is a one room filter. It’s well built like most Shark products, and it’s basic in operation. There’s no WIFI or remote operation. It’s controlled by a few illuminated touch buttons. I find that perfectly suited to this device. Its automatic mode takes care of things without any intervention. You can override the fan speed, but why? There’s small air freshener cartridge on the top that you manually set. It has a strong air freshener scent at first, but it eventually becomes acceptable. I keep it at its minimum setting. The front panel gives a read out of air quality, and alternatively, particles dust, pollen, or smoke. You can dim or turn off all the displays if you wish. In auto fan mode when things are clean, it’s very quiet. If it’s speeding up to handle problems, it can get somewhat noisy. It does what it’s designed to do and will clean the air in a room up to 250 square feet in size. It’s well made and compact, but not the least expensive out there. If it can really get several years of filter life, it becomes the biggest bargain out there.

Great product easy to use and the best price for your money

Portable, easy to maintain, and a great air purifier!

Worked good the 1st 2 weeks now it shuts off all the way after a few minutes needs to be returned.. My son stops coughing when its on ill be getting a bigger one

I put the fan to 5, high, and shake out stuff that is dusty. I can see the dust, but I do not see it moving towards the unit. Eventually it settles. I have cleaned the filter, and I got a bit of lint, but I do not think it is all I have! It almost always says my air quality is 100%. I have never seen it run on "auto." I do not use the scent maker.

Its fine but some issues with the filter. Otherwise haven't had issues.

If an affordable air purifier is needed, look no further than Shark's line of air purifiers. Wonderfully made, sturdy and quiet. The Shark compact air purifier is perfect for bedrooms or bathrooms even though it's smaller. It would fit nice in a bedroom corner or on top of a dresser. The air is sucked in from the sides and the fresh air is blown through the top at 5 different speeds. There's also an auto setting where the purifiers will detect how clean or dirty the air around is and adjust the speed accordingly. THere's a digital face on the front that displays the percentage of clean air in the room. That's what's really cool about this purifier is that it automatically detects filthy or smoke air and will indicate just how clean the air around is. Pretty cool. Shark calls this Cleansense IQ. There's also an odor neutralizer that's provided with the air purifier that leaves things smelling extra clean. I love the smell. But the best thing about this purifier is that it actually works and the filter doesn't need changing for years. I have yet to test that claim but so far so good. There's also a removable screen on the back that you can manually clean to keep things extra fresh. Shark says by keeping this clean it maintains performance. You can also check the status of the filter to let you know when it needs changing. Some of my family suffers from allergies so keeping the air clean is very important for our household. We own the regular size Shark purifier so this one (it's little brother) is a nice compliment. It's very affordable and it works. You cannot go wrong with this purchase. And it looks nice!

Says my air is 100% which I don’t believe since there’s a lot of dust flying around

Trash. It stopped working about 5 months after I bought it. I started going into the red then would drop down to yellow and ramp back to red. I contacted shark support and got 0 help. Waste of money. I bought this one and another version and both are acting the same way.

This is a simple, but effective air purifier with an easy to use interface. Additionally, there is a scent cartridge that can help control odors. Setup: very very easy. Remove the plastic from the filters and peel off some protective packaging and turn it on. Controls: there are a few controls that are helpful. The main one I use is the fan speed. I, for now, keep this on automatic and it works well. You can also toggle through different displays indicating the quality in the room. You can see different types of particle levels, or a simple percentage of combined air quality. Use: I keep this on automatic and it works well. It is very quick to react to “dirty” air. Whether it’s cooking or the cat using the litter. You can see the percentage of air quality go down, with a corresponding increase in fan speed. There is an adjustment for an “Odor reducer”, which is essentially an air freshener. That being said, I have it on the lowest setting and I don’t notice an overly powerful scent. My household is sensitive to smells, and this works great. Overall, this is a compact easy to use air purifier that works well for smaller rooms.

Got in the Shark NeverChange Compact Pro Air Purifier and have to say I am initially very impressed with it's performance! Steup was simple as you pop open the purifier from the bottom, remove the plastic from the filter, then close it up. There is a pod included that kind of seems like it acts as an air freshener while the purufier is going, but you insert that into its space at the top of the machine. After all that is done, you're good to plug in and utilize the purifier. All the controls are at the top of the device, giving you access to fan speed, timed settings, and ability to display different data on the front LCD display that is clear and bright. The Shark NeverChange Compact Pro Air Purifier lives up to its namesake as it doesn't take up a bunch of space. It's about a foot or so tall and 9" wide so it can be put in a myriad of locations to clean the airspace of a 250 sq ft area and its neutral color can match plenty of decors. For me, I currently have it doing its thing in my entryway as that is where I keep my cat's litterbox and it works in conjuction with a larger air purifier in a different location.

This little guy is great! We have a much larger filter for the main living space but were always moving it to my sons room. He plays a ton of sports and is a athlete. So you know where this goes. This little machine has been great! Size is small and operates at a nice quiet humm in his room. We placed it on the window bench. His room now stays fresh! Love the scent insert. These also work across products as well! There are multiple settings you can use to customize the device to your needs. But initial setup was basically plug and play once you get the shipping tape off. It has run nonstop since installing and provided a nice white noise for his room. He has not complained about the noise ever. Nor have his pets been worried about it. Lifetime range says about 5 years on the filter. Hope to have that last for the duration of our ownership with the device. overall another nice product from Shark that serves a purpose in bettering our home! Love the device and will highly recommend.

The Shark NeverChange Compact Pro Air Purifier HP072 is a solid pick for anyone looking to boost indoor air quality without the hassle of constantly changing filters. Here’s a quick breakdown of its highlights—and a few drawbacks to consider: good: * Long-Lasting HEPA Filter: One of the best features is its filter, which is designed to last up to five years. That means way fewer replacements and less maintenance overall. * Strong Air Cleaning Performance: It does a great job at capturing dust, pet dander, and other common allergens. You’ll likely notice the difference in air freshness after just a few uses. * (Mostly)Quiet Operation: This purifier runs relatively quietly at low to mid levels, enough to keep in a bedroom, nursery, or office without being distracting. * Compact, Sleek Design: With its small size and clean look, it fits easily into just about any room without being bulky or out of place. bad: * Strong Scent from Odor Neutralizer: The built-in odor cartridge has a noticeable scent that some people might find too strong. Fortunately, it’s removable if that’s not your thing. * Volume at High Levels - Though super quiet at low levels, turn it up to about 3/4 and it starts getting somewhat louder. For some like myself, perhaps not an issue (think white noise for sleeping) but may be intrusive for others. * Limited Room Coverage: This model is made for smaller spaces—up to about 250 square feet—so it might not be powerful enough for big rooms or open layouts. overall:
The Shark NeverChange Compact Pro Air Purifier HP072 offers a low-maintenance way to keep the air in smaller rooms fresh and clean. While it’s not without its quirks, the long-lasting filter, relatively quiet operation, and compact design make it a strong option if you’re looking for an easy-to-use, efficient air purifier. 4 stars (1 star removed for volume at higher levels).

The Shark NeverChange Compact Pro Air Purifier works well for small rooms. I bought this for my bedroom and it keeps the air clean. I like that it has an adjustable scent cartridge. This is exactly like the one Shark uses in their vacuums. On the lowest scent setting I found it overpowers the room sometimes. This is because when air quality is low the fan runs more and pushes more scent out. It does keep the room fresh though. For me, having the fan on auto while I slept was very loud when the air quality dropped. I could still hear it on the lowest setting but it was a lot more tolerable. The light dims on it but it was too bright for my room so I ended up turning the light off. I like the real time stats it displays though. I think this is compact enough for a nightstand, dresser, or shelf but I wouldn't recommend having it close to the bed due to noise. I really like the 5 year filter to save money. There hasn't been any wild fires yet but I'm hoping this keeps the smoke smell down in the room when that time comes. I have a larger one for the entire house so I expect this one to work similar. Based off that I would recommend this for a small space just be warned if you are a light sleeper.

I was pretty surprised when the air purifier arrived at my door. The box was pretty small. I wondered how this small air purifier could clean the air of my living room/kitchen. I read the instructions and put it together in the garage and when I plugged it in inside the living room, I was surprised that the instant it turned on, it recognized the air quality to be 59%. We had just finished eating dinner so I'm sure that cooking caused the low quality. The next few days, it always dropped after cooking as well, so this unit definitely "sniffs" the air. It doesn't take long to get it back up to good, maybe 90 minutes after finishing cooking. Our house used to hold the smells of dinner for hours. Now it clears up quickly with this compact device. It has an odor neutralizer cartridge that helps guard against and remove those odors quickly and efficiently. These cartridges are replaceable and inexpensive. I love that the unit doesn't require frequent filter changes, in fact, it's a NeverChange filtration system! The HEPA filter has an easy clean screen to keep debris out of the filter itself. I'm pleased to have this in my home to help keep our air clean.
