r/AirPurifiersIs the Shark NeverChange Air Purifier Max from Costco worth it?
12 months ago

I’v never had a problem with mine I tested it multiple ways when I got it including using a shop vac a few feet away it even picks up when I have my windows shut and the neighbors are burning outside. I have the max200 series a lot of people say the sensors don’t work never had a problem.

The Coway is designed for rooms up to 361 sq ft, so I would get one of them for each bedroom if you need smoke filtered out 24/7. I have a Shark HP200 for my main space, which is supposed to be effective for 1000ft^2 , but I can’t really recommend that as the filters are super expensive ($80+). I also have a Medify Air MA-25 for my office, but a bearing or something went bad in it so it rattles slightly. Filters for that are also pricey considering its size.

Getting an air purifier has helped me in my 2b/2b apartment - I’m also off a street. I personally have the Shark Clean Sense

I got a great Black Friday deal on the Shark Max last year. No apps and filters seem to be available through Shark and third parties easily. Yet to see how long it will last but I don’t do see any issues.

I bought the Shark Hepa Max couple weeks ago for the same price. It works good but i returned it and bought the Dyson TP07. I got it for $335 brand new. Go to Dyson's website and sign up for their news letter and text message and you'll receive a 10% off code. It works on sale products.

r/AirPurifiersShark Never change Air purifier
8 months ago

I bought one. Not so sure it works. The light ring that indicates a change in air quality does change when I cook. I’m in an apartment. The unit is in my living room. But it takes a good 40 min to an hour to get back to 100 %. I would think that’s just the natural time of the air clearing. No help from the unit. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also I just put it in the bathroom w my bf while he poops. No change in the air reading or smell of the bathroom. After this test I am returning.

r/homeownersThe Best Air Purifier for Home to Buy now? Do you find the air in your house actually better since you started using it?

I have two Shark ones too, I'm happy with them. One is also near my cat's litter box, mainly because I'm super paranoid about my house smelling for guests. I've visited too many homes over the years that look clean, but are definitely smelly. I know when you're the one living there, you don't even notice it. Just a recommendation as a fellow cat owner though, I switched to pine pellets a year and a half ago and there is almost NO smell from the litter box, it really absorbs the urine. Added bonus there's no dust like with clay ones (I don't trust the even the ones that claim they are "dust free". I use this brand: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/feline-pine-cat-litter?srsltid=AfmBOorIHcL_YhTcQId9bj7qgmBmG-vFBd88---gl8sP_gKCQjoiPhx_ A 40 pound bag lasts me around 3.5 months with one cat.

I think this is the worst it’s been so far. I’ve had my shark air purifier going full blast, windows closed and wearing a mask indoors.

I have one and I love it! I have two sick people in my house with a cold. It’s been kicking on a lot lately because it detects bacteria and viruses in the air. 🦠

r/AirPurifiersCan anyone convince me that airpurifierers are not a uneccessary waste of money

I just bought a Shark air purifier and it’s near the kitchen. No more food smells lingering in the kitchen. It does NOT like sauerkraut, burnt eggs or fried tortillas 😆
