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.

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...

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.

Small but powerful!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this interesting little air purifier a few weeks ago. Seems to be doing a great job! So far I’m very happy with it!

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.

Wrong color received
Was supposed to be white. I received pink. I guess I’ll keep it since it does the job but I don’t love it.

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.

Had High Hopes
Bought mine just under a year ago… already has stopped functioning properly. I have exhausted all options for troubleshooting, it now just takes up floor space. I would not recommend.

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!

Perfect for removing dust in air
This is my second one I’ve bought. I received this one a few weeks ago and just got it set up. I love everything about it EXCEPT there seems to be a rattle in the fan even in the lowest setting. I have tried different fan settings but it does not seem to make a difference. I would love a replacement! Otherwise, this does capture dust and animal hair quite well.

Great value!
Not having to buy a filter for 5 yrs is completely worth it! It's so easy to pull out the outer filter and clean. It's a nice compact size that fits on an end table. I love the auto features - you turn it on and that's it - no need to worry about it. It's super quiet and is unnoticeable at night - no lights and barely a sound. It shows how clean the air is with an easy to see colored ring of light. The odor neutralizing cartridges are easy to replace - pop in and out - and easy to control - keep it very low the scent is barely noticeable or turn it up if needed. It's the perfect purifier for my teenage son's room - it keeps his allergies controlled, the pet hair and dander to a minimum and the stinky teenage boy's "smell" at bay! Highly recommend!

You Get What You Pay For
Product is average compared to Dyson HP04. I initially bought this due to it's low price tag, thinking it would be a bargain. Unfortunately, I discovered that you really do get what you pay for. I found the fan was fairly loud when it kicked in, which was very irritating. Furthermore, I found that the air quality indicator is not sensitive enough, registering my air quality as 100% nearly all the time. By comparison, the Dyson HP04 registers lower air quality while the shark is still showing 100%. As such I sent the shark back and decided to stick to Dyson for now. I hope that I might be able to give Shark another shot in the future.

Works good, filter does not last
I love this air purifier, but the "5 year lasting air filter" is a joke. It lasted less than 3 months.

Does the job
Have the big one for the living room and works well. So bought the small one for the bedroom and does good.
