It really does the job. It purifies.
Really purified the air we breathe. This machine detects all sorts of strange smells 100% will recommend.

Replacement filter never in stock
Bought this and now for almost a year I haven’t been able to get a new filter to replace the old one. Extremely frustrating when you can’t get the replacement you need especially when you live in a wild fire prone area in summer . You must have replacement items available or it makes the product expensive and useless!

Unfortunately not a very good filter.
Really doesn't work well with cigar smoke. The filter gets dirty very quickly so you have to constantly vacuum it to get rid of the particles. Not worth the price

Freshens the air, looks great.
I like it a lot, I purchased the Air Purifier MAX and one Large Room Purifier. Only suggestion is to include the remote with the purifier purchase.

Great product.
I’ve had it for a few weeks and it works well. Getting the hepa filter out to take the bag off was a little difficult the first time. The smell neutralizing could be a little better but over all I am very happy with my purchase. It filter the smoke out of the kitchen from cooking on my cast iron really quickly.

Put this one in, coach!
Got this to replace an old HnyWl that was outdated. Just pulling it out of the box i knew it was a powerhouse. I was surprised that it immediately read 100% and was concerned ab accuracy. However when we had something overflow in the oven, causing some smoke, it immediately went to 0 and you could see it slowly come back as the air got cleaner.

Was really hoping this would solve our problems so we bought 2 units. Been running for about 3 weeks now and no change in air quality. Have noticed fine dust building up on the air purifier. Only noticed the air quality dropped when I burned pecans on the stove. Other than that it’s stays on 100% even with 2 bigs dogs in the house.

5 year filter, more like less than a year.
Worked great for 6 months, filter is supposed to last 5 years and I cleaned the outside filters regularly and both are already not working because I need new filters for my big one and the small one I got for my bedroom.

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We’re truly sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your Shark air purifier, and the filter needs replacing after only 6 months. We understand how frustrating this can be, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Please know that we will share your feedback with the appropriate internal teams.
To help maximize your air purifier’s performance and extend filter life, Shark recommends keeping the unit in AUTO mode. Once 100% clean air is maintained for 10 minutes in AUTO mode, the purifier will automatically enter ECO mode to further optimize filter efficiency and longevity.
Additionally, to help extend the life of the HEPA filter, we recommend reorienting it every three months. Simply remove the HEPA filter, turn it upside down, and reinsert it so the side that was previously on top is now on the bottom. This helps evenly distribute captured particles throughout the filter and supports longer‑lasting performance.
In the meantime, we suggest reviewing our self‑help troubleshooting guide below for assistance with the issue you’re experiencing:
https://support.sharkninja.com/article/HP300-Series-Shark-NeverChange-Air-Purifier-MAX-Troubleshooting-Guide
If the issue persists after following the suggested steps, please refer to the instructions at the end of the guide to contact our support team.
Kind regards,
Shark Clean NA.

If you like public bathroom spray,this is for you!
The smell of the odor neutralizer cartridge is disgusting. It literally smells like a public bathroom urinal cake. The fact that they don’t offer different scents is insane. I specifically purchased this for this feature so I’m returning it.

Very impressed!!!
Love it so much that I ordered another. It’s super quiet and I feel like it genuinely cleans the air. I like seeing the air quality reading on it at 100%. I know it works because we have ours set up near the kitchen and anytime we cook we notice the air quality reading drop some but soon after it gets right back up to 100%
