Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is much bigger than you think. Even with the larger size it’s easy to move room to room for single room air purifying. It is easy to assemble and operate. The filter is inserted in the bottom so it’s easy to access and change. The purifier has two easy to access larger particle screen filters that trap larger particles like hair and dust keeping them off the internal filter. The same item from Sam's is 20 less but comes with a remote. No remote on this one, costs extra. Overall great purchase and not having to purchase filters is a plus.

This purifier is capable of cleansing an entire livable area, but we mainly use if for the kid's room. Unfortunately, buildings near us have dismissed their non-smoking rules, and opted to open up their policies for some of the newer residents. What that has led to is a wave of harsh smell emanating into the household. Being that we can't control this situation, we wanted to find ways to minimize its effect. This Shark does wonders for that cause. It has a smaller footprint than our 3-in-1 Max, so it fits perfectly under their desk, with enough space to have effect on the room. Setup was simple, and we were up in minutes. Filters can be costly, as one of our purifiers requires a filter change every 4-6 months. Having a filter that can last five years is sincerely welcomed by our pocketbooks. The one addition my wife has enjoyed is the air freshener cartridge that can be installed. Although the odor filter does great for eliminating smells, the freshener aids in keeping the room fresh. Even better, the air freshener cartridge can be adjusted to control scent flow. We keep our on the lowest setting and it permeates throughout several rooms of our home. My son is going into the 2's and he gets his hands on everything. There is a touch screen for usage, and he couldn't keep away. If you have this issue, there is a lock on the screen that has deterred him...for now. This is the only purifier I have that has this, and it has been a necessary addition going forward. In summation, this Shark keeps the room smelling clean and fresh with a noticeable difference in the allergic reactions our my kids. From smoke to poopy diapers, the auto sensors act accordingly to rebalance the room in short stretches of time. If you have any type of similar situation, I recommend the purchase.

I love air purifiers, I started using them a couple of years ago and I wish I had started sooner. I no longer get watery eyes at home and I no longer break out in hives from dust mites, etc. The downside to the air purifiers is changing expensive filters. I have 3 cats and I smoke legal substances in my home so I tend to go through filters fairly quickly. When I was offered this new Shark product, I jumped at the opportunity. 1,400 square feet and a 5 year filter? Sign me up!! This could not have been easier to set up. Simply remove the tape from various spots, plug it in and you’re ready to go. I have a 1,300 square foot condo so this is the perfect unit for me. I placed it in the middle of my home, set it to auto and let its do its thing. I unplugged the other air purifiers in the home and this did not disappoint. I get the same coverage as I did with 2 units with less bulk and less noise. It’s an attractive design that blends in with my white and grey decor. It can get pretty loud but only when I’m smoking or cooking on the gas stove. It cuts down on odors, dust, air particles and more. This is the only air purifier I’ll need for 5 years and I love it!!

Shark did a lot of things right and a few things wrong with its new Never Change Air Purifier Max. The biggest thing they did right was build the Max around a long-life HEPA filter that, despite the product's name, DOES have to be changed -- but only once every five years or so. That is a lot less often than most other air purifiers and should save you a bunch of money because the filters are usually very expensive. The big. round main filter, which captures the really small stuff in the air, is aided by two additional first-stage DebrisDefense filters that fit into intakes that stick out on each side of the barrel shaped appliance. One of the washable sheet type filters used here removes big debris like dust and pet hair while a second carbon filter sheet helps eliminate odors. All filters are easy to remove and replace (or clean in the case of the first stage filters) which makes maintenance a breeze. And fairly economical compared to other brands. Overall operation easy too, with a top-mounted backlit control panel (a much appreciated improvement) with simple touch controls. In most cases, they are not really needed though since the default AUTO mode keeps constant tabs on air quality and adjusts fan speeds to deal with real-time conditions. Most of the time, the Max runs in a whisper-quiet low mode but the internal fan can crank up to much noisier hurricane force when air quality declines -- which can happen when you are cooking certain foods or something else messes up the air quality. A color-coded LED circular display on the front changes colors to let you know when air quality is bad. Blue is good while yellow, orange and red denote high particulates. There is also a number display in the center of the circle display that denotes air quality, with 100 being perfect and anything less than that needing work. The color circle also flashes to remind you when it is time to clean the side filters. A built- in sensor, dubbed CleanSense IQ, does a remarkably good job of determining air quality and automatically adjusting fan speed to deal with those conditions. Even better it will power down into a barely running eco mode after five minutes of 100 percent air quality, saving electricity and improving filter life. The control panel gives you the ability to dim or turn off the display, as well as manually adjust fan speeds, run the Max on a timer ( another welcome addition from some earlier models) , or change what information appears in the display. Another big plus with the Max is that it claims to have enough power to clean the air in up to 1400 square feet of space. That's an entire house for some folks and a lot more capcity than you usually see in an air purifier of this size. As for the overall design, it looks something like a high-tech garbage can. Constucted of sturdy white plastic, it is fairly light so can easily be moved around as needed using a built in hand-hold cutout in the back. My only reservation is with a new feature that is supposed to improve odor control. This consists of a small round "odor neutralizer technology cartridge" that screws into the top of the Max. It promises to produce a "fresher smelling home." This probably appeals to those who like chemical air fresheners but I am not one of them. Even on the lowest setting, I found the smell a bit overpowering and distracting at times. And I was alarmed by the long list of scary warnings associated with handling the cartridge. The good new is you can just not install this thing and be happy with plain old clean air. The Max really doesn't care. And that is one less consumable you have to replace. Despite my misgivings on that front, I see the Shark Never Change Air Purifier Max as a strong contender in the category, thanks mostly to its chart-topping 5-year filter and impressive ability to clean the air in an entire house.

Great product! This product cleans the air fast and is very quite.

This is my second one i have, absolutely love it! No more stuffy nose, my sleep has been improved! Definitely cleans up the atmosphere in my home! I definitely recommend to anyone!

It is so quiet and does a great job keeping the air in the house fresh!

I got this air purifier to reduce my allergy symptoms of mild cough/chest congestion on our ground floor. I believe it has helped, and I just purchased a smaller Shark unit for our finished basement room.

Me and my wife agree that it is simply the best purchase we've made in years. Now we are firm believers in using a air purifier to help breath better. What a Great God Send it has been.

Its really respsponsive to odors and cleans the air nicely

Very easy to set up, I have noticed a big difference in how my house smells (smokers and cooking) so I am sure it is cleaning the air

Just as advertised. Feel as if I’m breathing g better and not as much congestion.

works great but still trying to figure out the code colors and what they meant. It is big and bulky but it covers about 1400 square feet in the house.

Got it for Christmas and so far, so good. Watched the air quality reading go down while frying bacon and back up afterwards. Bacon smell seemed to dissipate quickly.

Works great, quiet, no ozone smell like most others.

Excellent Aur Purifier. Quickly cleaned all the air in my home. I just keep it on auto and it does what it needs to do and leaves a fresh scent.

My house smells so much cleaner. I live in a 1952 Farmhouse and always has an odor. I have not noticed it since I plugged this filter in. I love the auto feature so you can plug and forget.

Looks like a star wars robot. We had a baby. Modern folk gotta purify the air. Its all in the handbook of havin’ a lil money. First kid was born in teepee no plugins.

Great product, setup is very easy works great and smells amazing.

I have only had the unit for 2 days so I'm unable to give a fair review yet, but there definitely IS an odor coming from the unit, like plastic....I will hold off returning it for a few more days to see if it goes away
