A: Yes: it will. It’s going to rid any smells.

A: The NeverChange uses Odor Neutralizer Technology that releases a light scent while reducing household odors. It may lessen the presence of wax melt fragrances in the air.

A: No, this isn’t for mold.

A: The NeverChange features HEPA-level filtration that captures 99.98% of airborne particles. While it’s highly effective for dust, pet dander, and non-living allergens, mold spores are not specifically listed in the product details. We appreciate your understanding!

A: Hi Lilee. No, using a scent is optional. The air purifier features Odor Neutralizer Technology, which includes a cartridge that can release a pleasant scent while neutralizing odors. However, the unit will still function effectively as an air purifier without the scent cartridge.

A: No you do not. With or without.

A: Yes, it’s a good choice for homes with pets. The Shark Never Change uses a HEPA‑level filter that captures pet dander, dust, and allergens from the air, helping improve overall air quality.

A: Yes, you can use the HP302 while a whole‑house fan is running. It will still help capture dust, but since fresh air is constantly coming in, it may not be able to keep up as effectively as it would with windows closed.

A: The Shark HP302 NeverChange Air Purifier MAX is designed to be quiet, particularly on lower settings, making it well-suited for bedrooms and living rooms.

A: The Shark NeverChange Air Purifier weighs 13.45 pounds and does not include casters.

A: For removing smoke smells after a fire, it works best to keep all doors and windows closed while running the Air Purifier Max, as this creates a controlled environment where the unit can more effectively capture and neutralize smoke particles and odors.

A: Great question! Yes, the NeverChange can help reduce smoke odors in the home. Its high‑efficiency filtration is designed to capture smoke particles and help improve overall air quality. For best results, keep the purifier running in the area where smoke odor is most present.

A: Yes, you can absolutely turn off your Shark HP302 air purifier while burning incense or scented candles if you'd like to keep the fragrance in the room. The purifier is designed to remove particles and odors from the air, so keeping it on will naturally reduce how long those scents linger. If you prefer the scent to stay stronger, simply switch the purifier off while you're enjoying your candles or incense, and turn it back on afterward for regular air cleaning.
