Shark Air Purifier with Nanoseal HEPA, Cleansense IQ, Odor Lock, Cleans up to 500 Sq. Ft, White, HP102: UL Listed, True HEPA, 2-Year Warranty

A: It means it locks the odor.

A: Odor lock refers to the purifier's ability to trap and neutralize odors effectively.

A: Yes! It is very sensitive to smoke and works wonderfully! You can see the monitor change as it senses what's in the air, letting you see how well it works.

A: I've been using it while I share a space with my in-laws who smoke regularly. Our bedroom has zero smoke smell, while the rest of the home smells somewhat of cigarettes. We do keep the door shut and run this air purifier constantly on auto. Hope this helps!

A: Great Question! Yes, the Shark HP102 effectively reduces cigarette smoke odors in small rooms thanks to its activated carbon filter and True HEPA filtration system.

A: The unit is designed for a good night’s sleep, featuring ultra-quiet performance and dimmable lights to minimize sleep disruption. If you're looking for a purifier that won’t disturb your rest, this model is built with that intention in mind.

A: Loud, you may have to use ear plugs and stay out of the room. Too much noise to sleep.

A: I have a dehumidifier on it all times is it still OK to have this?

A: Yes, you can leave the air purifier on at all times.

A: We would like to let you know that you purchase the filter for this unit by reaching out to our Customer Care Team at 1-855-427-5127 Monday to Friday, 9:00 am - 9:00 pm EST, as well as Saturday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm EST.

A: We would like to let you know the Shark® Air Purifier is equipped with a 3-stage HEPA filter that is designed to capture 99.98% of particles down to the 0.1–0.2 micron range, plus odors and VOCs. The cylindrical structure pulls air through the back and sides of the unit and passes it through the HEPA filter. Particles such as smoke, mold, and allergens are then trapped in the HEPA filter, allowing only clean air to be passed through the top vents.

A: This machine will not rid you of coworkers.

A: The compatible filter for the HP102 is the HE1FKPET, which can be purchased directly from Shark Clean.

A: This unit does not come with a built-in humidifier. In terms of coverage, it’s designed to effectively serve spaces up to 500 sq ft. Since your townhouse is around 900 sq ft, placing it in the living room may help with nearby areas, but it likely won’t fully cover the top floor. For whole-home coverage, you might want to consider an additional unit or a model with a larger capacity.

A: This unit is equipped with a 3-stage HEPA filter that is designed to capture 99.98% of particles down to the 0.1–0.2 micron range, plus odors and VOCs.

A: The HP102’s NanoSeal True HEPA filter traps 99.98% of particles down to 0.1–0.2 µm, including dust-mite allergens, but it doesn’t kill live mites; you’ll still need surface cleaning, hot laundering and humidity control for full dust-mite management.
