"I’ve been running the Shark Clean Air Eco in my bedroom for a couple months now and its whisper-quiet low setting truly disappears in the background."
"it's pretty quiet even on its highest setting (like a low fan). ... If I keep it running all day and night, it's usually whisper quiet at night since it already cleaned the air during the day."
"They’re very quiet I never hear them"

"Mine stopped working after 2 months."
"All of my shark max filters lasted less than 1 year and I have replace filter error."
"But no, it’s not actually never-change, you will eventually have to replace the hepa, I think they say 5 yrs but all depends on"

"I ordered 4 of these things and ALL of them sat off all day and night saying the air was perfect. ... All 4 of them did the same thing and would rarely come on."
"According to Shark, my air quality is a perfect 100% ALL DAY LONG. Even when: - My elderly Akita wanders by shedding fur like it's his job (and also pooting pretty non-stop) - I deliberately sprayed Lysol directly in front of it (for science!) ... The Shark? "100% perfect air, nothing to see here!" 🙄 ... But because it thinks the air is always fantastic, when I put it on auto/Eco mode, the higher fan rate is never triggered. ... It turned bright red, and said that the air would be clean again unless 60 minutes. It was back to 100 within a minute or two."
"It's no wonder the filters last for 5 years, the thing never runs. ... They are not "purifying the air" if they are not moving the air through the filters."

"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."

"It does NOT like sauerkraut, burnt eggs or fried tortillas 😆"
"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."

r/Costco • Shark air purifier.. good? bad? ->I have 2 Sharks. A small.clean air sense model.for the bedroom and a large never change (filter) model for the first floor. We have a 85lb GSD and it really helped with the dog smell. I've also noticed a lot less dust. Overall the house feels and smells a lot better.
r/Home • Best air purifier for home to buy today - What are your favorite choices? ->Shark has never change filter air purifiers on their clean sense IQ models now and they have built in air quality sensors and auto mode which is economical as it only turns on the fan when it senses something in the air. Also it has a button to switch between air quality views and show you what (PM 10, PM .5, PM 1) is fouling up the air quality. Also shows time to clean air and percentage of the air that's clean. I have two of them. I also have two of the Vornado AC350's. Their filter replacement are reasonable and the carbon filter can be easily upgraded on Amazon for a reasonable price.
