Very quiet
We have had it for about 2 weeks. does a wonderful job detecting odors. It picks up speed and rids the air of the problem and then slows down. Very happy

Shark Air Purifier Max with True HEPA
The unit was purchased around February 2nd of this year. At first, the unit worked great but about two weeks after starting to use it, the unit was showing the air quality to be 0. I used a shop vac to clean the filter but that made no difference. So I moved the unit to our upstairs which is very cleaned and rarely used. It made no difference...the air quality monitor s...

Will be coming back!
We have two, one on each level of our home and love them. It not only helps with air quality but keeps pet dander down, dust in general down and it is quite (even when then fan goes to high for that moment, it’s pretty quiet considering). We had a problem with one that customer service was able to help with an easy fix. Then on our second one it did have a problem and c...

Love but…
I would make more sense if the bottom vents to pull air in on bottom, would be in front instead of in back where its facing wall. I keep mine screen facing wall bc of it.

Great Machine
It is working GREAT. Cooking in the kitchen and the machine went into clean mode down to 65%. Eventually came back to 100%.

Great features
I bought this last month and am very pleased with how much better the air is in my home. I have asthma and it really helps.

I love Shark over competitors unit.
This is the best air purifier I ever owned. It's actually my second unit and is for large master bedroom. The first unit takes care of the dining room and living room.
I have another competitors purifier on lower level of raised ranch but I actually prefer Shark as number 1.

Disappointed
Doesn't appear to functional as it says it does. Comparing to another air purifier side by side and it doesn't show the accurate information regarding the PM numbers. Disappointed in the Shark brand!

Replacement
I bought one 11 months ago and it stopped working. I called customer support and they sent me a new replacement for cost of shipping. Unfortunately it’s not the same color I had or was told I was receiving. Hopefully this one will last longer than 11 months. Overall works well but not happy about the color.

Easy To Set-Up and Use!
I received our Shark Air Purifier (HP202) last week and have been happy with the results so far. It was easy to set-up, and it appears to be functioning properly. My only concern right now is the replacement filters are out of stock. I was planning on buying an extra filter when I bought the purifier so I had it on hand when it was needed in the future. I hope the filte...

Good unit for the money
Bought a unit in April by July it had quit. Called Shark told them the issue they replaced it with a new unit that covered more square footage then an old unit at no cost under warranty. Come to find out the old unit we had was no longer being made. No issues with the new unit. Shipping was fast.

Not a good filter unit
This unit is not as reliable as other units. This is my 3 rd replacement and I had to pay shipping on their product failure. I have other units that work just fine.

Immediately better!!
I purchased this air purifying unit 3 weeks ago and I noticed a difference immediately; no more stuffy nose and watery eyes at or near bedtime. Our air was 69% when our unit arrived and it's been at 100% every day since set up.

Not a happy customer.
Shark replaced my Air Purifier Max w/heater that just stopped working and cost over $400 with this Air Purifier that’s half the price and twice as loud with no heater so while I’ve been a strong customer of Shark products, I’m kind of left thinking what just happened.C

Unit behaving badly.
My original shark started behaving erratically and I called customer service. We performed some video troubleshooting, and it was determined that my unit was defective.

Bought this air purifier max because on the box it says traps. 10x the amount of dust
10x dust. Clearly mine does not as the dust is the same
