This unit is tall, comes to higher than my hip. It is pretty quiet, only at it’s highest speed setting does the sound come to somewhat a disruptive level. It seems powerful because of the size and because of the amount of fans (6) it has inside, but it’s hard to say definitively how powerful it is and nowhere on the literature or videos provided by shark do I see a concrete size of room that this in intended for leaving the customer to just guess.
The remote control works really well and the filter is very easy to deal with . The literature says to clean the internal behind the filter every two months with a vacuum and maybe a cloth but no cleaning products. My filter, according to the digital display, comes with 4,400 hours of use and the unit keeps track of these apparently. I haven’t seen the filters available for these, maybe they aren’t released yet because they didn’t come up on a search.
I think rather than telling you all about how to operate this unit (which is really straight forward and easy for you to watch the video provided by shark) I am going to tell you what this unit lacks that makes it less than maybe it could be at this price point and by this awesome brand name SHARK. I personally tend to love their innovative products.
1. This Air Purifier is not Smart. You can’t connect it to any apps or wifi. You can’t see any graphs or stats while you are away from home. This seems like an absolute no brainer. Many very good filters at less than half this price have very good app functionality.
2. There is no kid safe mode, that’s right, you can’t lock the screen so your toddler or your cousin’s toddler can go nuts with the settings as long as he or she wants. Turning it on and off again and again. Yeah, it’s annoying, I don’t know why they don’t have a child lock mode.
The particle filter stats are pretty cool, you toggle through the display to see the amount of PM1 (tiny viruses or alergens) , PM2.5 smoke and bacteria, and PM 10 (like dust and mold and bacteria) –but again it would be better to see these stats on an app, not just in real time but on a graph of some sort.
Overall I think this is a very good air filter but it is also expensive and lacking some really common features that other much less expensive units have.

I literally did not know how bad I needed this product until the wife talked me into ordering it. Now is a staple item in our household.
Pros:
• Easy read out showing current Air Quality
• Auto Fan setting – Adjust fan speed based on the air quality. Burn that popcorn in the microwave, this gem will sense the air quality change and adjust up the fan speed to clean the air
• Super simple initial set up. Just unbox, find a spot for it, and plug it in. The controls on the unit and the remote or user friendly.
• Noticeable difference in air quality:
o Less sniffling from pollen.
o No longer have to smell dinner for hours
o Pet smells are under control
•
Cons:
• Not really a con with the unit or its operation, just more of a gripe. Had issues with the QR code on top of the unit. It pulled up the user guide but I could not access any of the webpages radio buttons for additional content.
Lastly, the only other feature I would love to see is the ability to control the unit via a mobile app simply for additional convenience.

This air purifier is wonderful! Some highlights include:
Appearance – slim profile and the white color looks perfect with my furniture.
Packaging & Unboxing – super easy to unbox with very clear directions for setup and use including a quick video
Easy to use – use is simple and remote control allows me to change settings from bed including turning the lights off
Night mode- unit allows you to completely turn off all of its lights at night which is perfect!
Noise level – it is the perfect amount of white noise but has different levels you can set it to if you wanted it quieter; however, the setting below #3 say they do not filter allergens.
Overall a great air filter. I noticed after the first night using it I woke up with less congestion and felt very well rested! Definitely recommend.
