Never Change Air Purifier
I wanted this air purifier so bad that I ask my daughter for it as a mother’s day gift 2025. She brought it for me and it only worked for 6 months. Everything time I turn it on the I indicator light stays on 0. I looked at some many YouTube videos on how to troubleshoot it. Nothing works. This is my 2nd and last ever shark product. I will no longer support this company. The prices are ridiculous expensive and they don’t last.

We recommend reviewing the troubleshooting guide linked below, which specifically addresses indicator light concerns for this model and may help resolve the issue: https://support.sharkninja.com/article/HP070-Series-Shark-NeverChange-Air-Purifier-Compact-Pro-Troubleshooting-Guide If the issue continues, our Customer Care team would like the opportunity to review this further and assist you directly.

Terrible, don’t waste your money!!!
I bought the two pack for bedrooms and within 2 months one failed and within three months the other one failed. I got warranty replacements and within 2 months they both failed again. Every time it was the sensor registering zero percent air quality, I cleaned it according to the directions and they would continue to go to zero shortly afterward until it would never clear. Four of these and all the same failure. They sent a replacement “upgrade” to the mid size one and it eventually had the same issue, sometimes would just start running at full speed when it was showing 100% and I had to power it off to get it to work right until it failed again. Eventually I just threw it away because it would continue to operate improperly, maybe got 4 months of use before it failed too. I would give zero stars if possible. This line of products is absolute garbage, what a waste of money!!!

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re devastated to hear about your experience and can completely understand how upset and frustrated you must feel after dealing with repeated failures across multiple replacements. That’s certainly not the reliability or peace of mind we want our products to provide. We also understand how concerning it is when the unit begins operating unpredictably, such as running at full speed despite showing good air quality. After investing both time and money, it’s understandable why this would lead to a complete loss of confidence in the product line. Your feedback is extremely important to us and will be shared with our product and engineering teams, as experiences like yours help us identify areas that need improvement. We regret that your experience has reached this point, and we hope you can give us another try in the future. Kind regards, Shark Home

Great new air purifier!
I received this product in the past month. It does a wonderful job clarifying the air and providing an odor neutralizer.

Doesn't help with smoke
I read a review that said this helps with smoke smells and it doesn't. My neighbors smoke and the smell is really strong in my condo. I ran this air filter for several days on high and it said the air was 100% clean, but it did nothing for the odor. I'm also not a fan of the "odor neutralizing" cartridge - even on the lowest setting it just makes everything smell like Lysol. Not at all what I was hoping for from an air purifier.
1 reply from SharkNinja Product Expert team - 1 month ago
Hi Anna, Thank you for your feedback. We’re disappointed to hear your NeverChange Compact Pro didn’t meet your expectations for reducing smoke odors in your home and the odor‑neutralizing cartridge produced a scent you found unpleasant. To clarify, the NeverChange Compact Pro is designed to clean smoke from the air using a 3‑stage HEPA filtration system that captures 99.98% of particles down to the 0.1–0.2 micron range, including smoke particles. However, odor perception can vary based on environmental factors and sensitivity, and we understand this didn’t provide the result you were hoping for. For further assistance and to make sure the unit is working as it should, please contact our Shark customer support team at 1‑855‑427‑5127, available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. We’d really like the opportunity to help. Kind Regards, Shark Home

BAD instructions! Worse filter EVER!
A Christmas gift from my son. The color stays red and will not reset regardless of the room I put it in. There is NO direction that shows which is a reset button either. All instructions state the "filter reset button" THERE IS NO RESET BUTTON!! NOR IS THERE ANY INDICATION WHISH BUTTON MAY ALSO BE THE RESET BUTTON!! This is a FAIL in my estimation!

Please reach out to us through our support page, and we’ll be happy to help get this resolved: https://support.sharkninja.com/contact-us Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we’re here to make this right.

Works Great
The replacement for my Shark Never Change Air Purifier is working well. Thanks to the warranty of two years. The one I bought last year stopped after around 4 months.

Sensor Issues on 2 units
My first unit was warrantied due to the sensor not working properly and saying the air quality was always at 0%. My replacement unit started doing the same thing in less than two months. I've tried all the suggestions to reset it. I'm not going to try to get another replacement. I'm just going to run the unit with the fan on 1 instead of auto since auto throws the fan into high. I've had no issues with my larger unit. But there definitely is a sensor issue with the compact units.

Hi Debra, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re devastated to learn that your replacement Air Purifier also displays 0% clean air, like your old unit. We totally understand how frustrating this must be, and we'd love the opportunity to make things right. We'd recommend that you refer to the self-help guide using the link below. If the steps are unsuccessful, please follow the directions provided at the end of the guide. https://support.sharkninja.com/en-CA/article/HP070-Series-Shark-NeverChange-Air-Purifier-Compact-Pro-Troubleshooting-Guide-ca Kind regards, Shark Clean

Can't run at same time as a room humidifier
Bought 2 of these for bedrooms. Reason for 1 star rating, it kicks on immediately & stays on whenever I run a small humidifier, esp during night, all night long. And is too loud & wakes me up frequently. Same thing happens with my 2 other large units. Disappointed since I need the humidity but need clean air too !!! Turning the Shark to a constant speed is not an acceptable option, and will shorten the unit (& filters) life span...
1 reply from Sharkninja team - 3 months ago
Hi there, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re disappointed to hear that your air purifiers run at high speeds whenever your humidifier is on and that the noise has been disruptive. The Clean Sense IQ technology continuously tracks airborne particles, and humidity can influence these readings, causing the purifier to work harder. Giving the unit proper space, at least 3 inches, and using AUTO mode can help it adjust more efficiently. It’s also normal for air quality readings to shift when both devices are operating, as the purifier detects and clears additional particles created in higher humidity. We truly appreciate your feedback, and we’re here if you’d like further assistance. Kind Regards, Shark Clean.

Hello there, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. We’re truly sorry to hear that you received the incorrect color Air Purifier. We understand how disappointing it must be to expect a pink unit and receive a white one, and this is certainly not the experience we want for you. Since your purchase was made through Target, we kindly recommend reaching out to their customer service team for prompt assistance in correcting this. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we hope to continue being a trusted brand in your home. Kind regards, Shark Clean.

Probably saved my family from a gas leak
I originally bought this air purifier because my old one was becoming dangerous and starting to spark. It was from a different brand. I would highly recommend this air purifier, especially with the grading air quality feature that it has because it actually probably saved my family’s lives. I had a suspicion that there was a gas leak and I noticed that the air purifiers scoring feature kept getting lower once my heater was turned on and the air compressor was outside next to my water heater. Turns out my water heater had a severe gas leak, and my air purifier had picked up on the change in air quality when my air-conditioning heater was turned on. I had a suspicion and would smell gas here and there, but thought I was going crazy. Turns out it was picking up, what I realized after about a week, was the gas leak penetrating my house. If it wasn’t for the scoring feature on the air purifier, I don’t know if I would’ve trusted my gut to have the gas company out to check for a leak. I highly recommend this for any household with children and I’m really happy that I purchased it. On another note, I didn’t give it the full five stars just because I didn’t realize that once exposed to a humidifier, which because my boys had caught a cold recently, the score feature would remain at zero moving forward. I might need to reset it or something, but I wish I would’ve realized that before and I expected it to potentially dry out and return back to a normal score feature but it hasn’t yet and it’s been maybe a couple weeks. Overall, I would buy this purifier again and would recommend to anyone who is in search of an air purifier.

Quiet on Auto…doesn’t clear odors quickly.
This Shark Never Change air purifier was a Christmas gift. It was easy to set up and it’s very quiet on Auto mode. I put it to the ultimate test when I cooked an omelette and bacon on my electric stove top. I made sure to move the air purifier into the kitchen right by the stove. The quality reading went from 100% to about 55%, which was expected. The system kicked into high gear and began working to clear the air, which met my expectations. What I’m disappointed in is that 6 hours later, the air quality was only a fair reading and the SMELL/ODOR from the eggs and bacon were still very much present. I expected not a fragrant smell, but just a clean air smell. Overall, I’m happy with my gift, but not as happy as I should be.

Blown away!!!
We are a Shark/Ninja family, owning dozens of their products. This is one of my favorite products! Within minutes my house smelled cleaner, the air felt fresher land gave a nice refreshing feel to my house. We have a German Shepard and husky so the “dog smell” is real! We are non-smokers so can’t attest to the smoke odors but I have a feeling that it will help immensely with the odor. I’m going to order a second air purifier to put in the bedroom and possibly another just for the kitchen.

Great small air purifier!
I bought this less than a month ago and so far I am pleased. I have a lot of environmental allergies and it helps clean the air in my bedroom. Best part is not having to keep on purchasing filters!
