This air purifier is efficient and at a reasonable price.

Works exactly as described, including waking up from sleep mode when it detects pollution. Couldn’t be happier at the price!

Bought this as I run a cat rescue, utterly amazed at how fast the air quality can be improved. Quiet in operation unless on full fan, easy to control. My only criticism is it blows out very cool air, great in summer but cools the room too much in winter. Shame Shark did not add a hot air facility to it.
If you have any kind of allergy or keep pets I think this is well worth getting.

First of all I’d like to mention that this is an amazing experience to see this purifier in work.

The package comes like huge, really big and no, it’s not oversized because the purifier is giant as well. I’m saying giant because I have tried about 4-5 other different air purifiers from different brands and different sizes, by far this one was the most effective and the biggest.
Obviously, it is recommended to be used to big open spaces (ofc indoors) like big studios or open spaces kitchen with living room.
Once again – the size is really big and a bit difficult to match it with the other furniture or to place it to look good and organic.

How’s it working:
I’m using it in the living room which comes together with the kitchen which is big as well – about 28-30m, maybe more as the house is big as well. As any other purifier, it has a foil on the filter so please don’t forget to take it off before using the device.
When turned on first time I really felt like in those Sci-Fi movies – everything started to work, digits and displays turned on and that was impressive especially because the device looks quite impressive and massive.
I was thinking we’ve got good air quality, because even living in London, we’re aside from busy streets with many cars and a big park is nearby. The purifier showed 67% air quality and that surprised us. According to the instructions, this is a fair quality.
After 1 hour of continuous work, it showed 80% and it was a bit hard to believe, the actual effect I couldn’t feel.
After that, time to time I turn it on because nobody is allergic to anything transmitted by air, no smoke, no anything else that would affect us. Last week decided to turn it on and see how high can the air quality grow in the house. Managed to take it up to 96% by turning on daily for a few hours or so. I don’t know – was it my brain or really something changed but I could feel like I’m breathing a bit easier, something different.
But the biggest difference was when at some point we cooked some fish and with some other smells everything mixed up and the whole house was smelling like food. As it’s cold now, didn’t open the window and thought to give it a try with the purifier – that was the moment when I felt its real power – in 35-40 minutes the air was like before cooking and feeling it fresh and nice! Some other time happened that I put 4 big aromatic candles hoping it will give a better smell and maybe a bit of heath but actually after two hours of these candles it was feeling rather a smoky air, heavy and difficult to breath. At that point the purifier helped me again and unfortunately the aroma disappeared but with it disappeared the smoky air. So, overall I’m happy with it, I know it works and I’m sure it will help and do its job.

Now the reason I rated it with 4 stars – design and price.
Actually, for such a device with such an effective technology I’d really expect something great in terms of design as well. It comes big as size, huge even I’d say and let it be so, but please, give me a futuristic shape, give me some lights on it, some colours and some other options which will be cheap in production but looking amazing in my house!
The purifier is just a white square box with some sections on the sides like a regular radiator. The only cool thing here is the LED display and that’s looking really nice, easy to manipulate, set and understand how’s it working. But I’d love some PS5 design, something really great, not just a plastic box. It is a big piece and in some cases it may be one of the central pieces of appliance in the room so it’s worth to have it cool looking.
Also, the price. I still can’t decide – is it worth or not. Probably for someone with allergies where this purifier will help to breath easier and to reduce the allergy chances, may be a worth price. But overall I’ve tried very good air purifiers with a lower price that were doing a good job as well. I think a price is a bit spicy even with the voucher included but that’s only my opinion.

Apart from that, remote works excellent and that’s good, I’d the rather surprised if it would not. Energy consumption – I’d say it feels a bit but I’ve used it in this period of transition between summer and autumn and it might be not only the purifier that added some more consumed electricity, could be lights in the house or anything else. However, it’s not a big difference so I’d rather tend to say the purifier is not consuming an unfair amount of energy.

Sorry it’s more of a story about this device a d the experience, than going deep into its technical features and stuff.
Hopefully I’ve been helpful.
I’m still using it, I’m not going to give up on it soon and would say that I can recommend it but if you don’t need it so big and it will be used for a smaller space, think twice.

Before you buy make sure you measure up that you can accommodate this. It’s a very big unit, it’s not like a small air conditioner or cleanser that you might put under your desk, it needs some dedicated space.

In terms of quality, it’s as you would expect from shark, first class.

You can choose from a wide range of functions, timer, auto mode etc.

I can really feel the difference. We cook a lot of Chinese food in the kitchen where we use this unit so the air can feel quite fragrant and spicy. Once I turn this unit onto auto mode after about 15-20 minutes, the air feels far fresher and cleaner.

I’ve not had to clean the filter yet but I have looked at it.

It’s very easy to access and there do not seem to be any issues in the way should I need to clean.

his is the shark air purifier 6 (model he600uk) which is the latest purifier model in 2021, it’s a very large air purifier, i was quite surprised when the large packaging came, it’s well and thick packaged box and the purifier itself already tall 80cm, but it’s slim, just about 22cm thick

what makes it special is that it runs 6 fans to circulate air instead of one large fan like most other air purifiers, air in-flow will be more distributed at the back than a single point, hence more effective, of course it will also be much quiet than a single strong fan, also filtered air will come out from both side, so clean air will be circulated better around the area

although it’s so big, there are handles on both side for moving it to the point where i need air purifier

i use it in my living room, its spec is for large room (120 square meters) so it’s much more than enough for my 30 square meters living room

it works well for filter odours, pollutant, allergens as well as dust and dirt flow around, especially i have pets and kids, a good purifier is a must to keep the air clean around us

there is a remote controller to set the speed, timer and panel brightness, but i’m more prefer to use the touch panel as all functions and info are accessible

on the top panel there is air quality info to indicate the how clean is the air around the area (in terms of pm 10, 2.5 and 1)

the suggested life time of the hepa filter is approx one year (of course depend on usage), there is a filter life check function on the top panel to indicate how many hours left to replace the filter, the replacement filter is at about 1/5 of the purifier price, seems reasonable

all in all, this air purifier works very well, i’m impressed, very happy with it, would definitely recommend

This purifier is quite a tall unit, coming up to around waist height. However it is also very slim and can be placed quite close to a wall so it can be sort of tucked away and isn’t too obtrusive. There is a touch panel and display on the top and a repeater display on the front to show air quality. You also get a remote which works well but there is no WiFi or bluetooth connection for remote operation.

The simplest way to use the device is just to turn it on and touch the auto mode. In this mode it runs on the lowest setting until it detects anything in the air at which time it will ramp up the fans until the air is clean again.

When it is running at low fan settings it is virtually silent but the noise at max is quite loud although it does clean the room quickly so usually isn’t running on high for more than a couple of minutes.

It does an excellent job of detecting pollutants and cleaning them. I have been running this in our open plan kitchen/dining/sunroom with a floor area of around 8 metres by 6 metres. If I am sat with my vape inside it will detect it from the other side of the room after a minute or so and power up the fans until the air is clean again. It will also remove cooking smells, dust and pretty much anything else including the smell from wax melters or incense sticks. Whilst not scientific proof this proves to me that it is doing its job and purifying the air in the room.

So overall I give this five stars. I was initially a bit concerned by the size of the unit but it actually sits quite discretely in the room and when on low fan settings is virtually silent. Most importantly though it does an excellent job of cleaning the air. Recommended.

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 am increasingly becoming a very loyal Shark customer – their product range is excellent and their attention to detail and quality is better than other leading and popular brands.
This Air purifier is so easy to use and a very welcome addition to our household of multiple allergies and issues.
I think it offers real value for money too – there is always a huge investment in these type of products but I suspect you’ll only ever need to buy this once.
Some playing around is necessary to find a programme that suits your family, but we have this running from early morning till bedtime, especially during times of pollen, visiting people and pets, and also when burning candles or lighting the fire.
It looks smart, sleek and unobtrusive – a very heavy unit you wouldn’t want to move anyway.
Highly recommended as it has made an immeasurable difference to our lives this year.

Shark Air Purifier 4 Clean Sense iQ

This air purifier by Shark comes in a branded box which has basic instructions on it, along with a barcode to scan so that you can download an instruction booklet. It also comes with an instruction leaflet with the same information on it. It is really easy to set up and use though, no assembly is required, you will just need to remove the packaging from the fan that was put there to protect it during transit. Once you’ve done that, plug it in and you’re good to go

Although the air purifier is quite big it doesn’t really take up too much room (it measures 22.6 x 43.2 x 61.7cm) it’s not that heavy and has carry handles at the side to make moving it from room to room easier

The air purifier has multi staged filtration and traps dirt and dander, neutralises odours and captures 99.97% of pollutants and allergens so is good to have in homes where you have pets and people with allergies

There is a touchscreen on the too, plus a display at the front to let you know the percentage of air filtration. You can change the settings either by pressing the buttons on the top of the air purifier or by using the remote control

You can set the air purifier to auto mode which in my opinion is the best and easiest mode, as it detects changes in the air quality and changes mode accordingly. 86% to 100% is coloured blue and is the best you can get. 85% to 75% is coloured yellow and 74% and below is coloured red. You can adjust the fan speed manually and set a timer if required and turn the light off for nighttime use

I’ve attached photos of the air purifier when I first switched it on and again after a few hours had passed. Was quite surprised at the difference. The machine is quite noisy at times on the higher settings but barely noticeable on the lower setting

The filter should last around 6-12 months depending on usage but the air purifier will let you know when it needs to be replaced

This is a great machine to have, especially when you have two dogs and hay-fever sufferers in the house, I’m sure this will come into its own the

Although the box this arrived in was quite heavy and bulky, the machine itself is slim and fairly compact, it comes with a remote control and has a display on the top to let you know how pure the air around it is. I’m looking forward to trying it when it is high pollen season to see what difference it makes, but received it a bit late for this year. However, we did try it in the kitchen while cooking and it did make a difference as much less aromas drifted through the house. I prefer using it on auto mode and you can keep an eye on the changes in purity of the air, it is not too noisy unless you have it on the highest setting, and you don’t get a cold waft of air when you pass it.
It would be a benefit if you are only using this occasionally for it to have a cord storage compartment or place where it can be wrapped around, but if you have it out for daily use then it is less of a problem. I do feel that the remote control isn’t necessary as it can be easily operated by the buttons on top, but if you have it hidden away behind furniture then it may be a benefit.

Something that irritated me about my previous air purifiers is that I can either run them all the time, on a timer, or turn them on manually when I _think_ I need them. Many threats to air quality aren’t really noticeable by most humans.

This filter aims to eliminate that annoyance by automatically spinning up when it detects particles beyond its threshold for acceptable air quality. This should theoretically reduce unnecessary energy usage, noise, and extend the life of the filter. I’ve been using it for a few weeks in the kitchen and I think the programme is effective.

Most of the time the fan runs almost silently, but when cooking (particularly frying things on the stove) it recognises that the air quality is deteriorating and spins up almost immediately. The clear, bright display shows the air quality percentage and allows you to cycle between the different levels of particles captured. It also shows an estimate for how long it’ll take for the air quality to reach a good level again. The controls are easy to understand and use. I’ve attached a video of this interface.

Having the display and controls on top of the unit makes them easily accessible when standing, though the smooth dark surface does tend to accumulate lint, fingerprints etc. Fortunately, it’s easy to wipe clean. There’s an additional screen on the side, which is handy if you want to put the unit under a countertop etc.

I haven’t had this in hay fever season yet, but judging by its performance in the kitchen, I think it’ll be extremely useful in the bedroom in spring/summer, particularly since it’s so quiet when in ‘standby’. In general, the unit has acceptable acoustics – the whoosh at higher levels is noticeable, though it doesn’t have any irritating whine or rattle, so I can live with it.

Overall, I highly recommend this if you want an effective filter that you don’t need to micromanage. Just turn it on and let it deal with the air.

Impressive for the price. First – what I like the most, is the size and shape of this purifier, it’s not too bulky and you can leave it by the wall (about 8cm from the wall) which I couldn’t do with my AEG – it had to have 30cm space all around. Another thing which I like is that it has an automatic function, whenever it catches something in the air, it turns on automatically and turns off when cleaning is done. It’s not very loud which is another +. It cleans the air and eliminates bad smells. It’s very easy to set up and use, I haven’t even used the remote yet, as I’m just using an automatic function.
I personally have only one problem with this purifier – if the air would come out from the top of it, the device would be perfect, but the air comes out from 2 sides of it and creating a windy and kind of cold atmosphere and I want to feel cosy in my home so this is a bit annoying.

Shark Air Purifier 4 [HE400UK] Clean Sense iQ, Auto Mode, Multi-Staged Filtration, White

The product received comprised of the main purifier unit (4 fans), filter, instructions and remote control.

The air purifier arrived in a very large box, in another box and then in the product box — so well packaged — and hopefully less risk of damage to the unit during transit.

This is an attractive unit, sleek and slimline. The instructions supplied are basic — one sheet with a quick start guide – how to fit the filter, where to place the air purifier (needs to be least 8cm away from a wall when in use), air quality percentages (low to high) and basic guidance of the controls/remote.

You have the option of manually setting the air flow (high to low) or set it on automatic, so the unit responds to the air quality in the room. The low fan setting is fairly quiet, the higher the fan settings the louder the unit, however the noise from the air flow is not overpowering/obtrusive. The display is touch sensitive and you can manually touch the display to change settings or use the remote. The display will let you know the quality of your air — 0-69% poor air quality (red), 70-84% fair air quality (yellow), 85-100% good air quality (blue) — so basically the lower the percentage the poorer the air quality, the higher the percentage the better the air quality. When the unit is switched on you can choose the display to go off, ideal in a bedroom if you do not want the bright display unit to disturb sleep. You get one filter with the product, which the makers claim will last 6-12 months (depending on use).

Does the air purifier have an effect? We have used the unit for over a week since receiving it, to see if there was any noticeable difference. I suffer from dust allergies and use medication regularly, so we set up the unit in one room to assess the results. During the week we had some painting/decorating done, sanding walls was required so a lot of dust – which for me can be an issue. In the evening, after the work was completed, the unit was switched on. It initially was showing poor air quality (-49%), however after running for a while the percentage increased till it was at 100%, the air in the room did feel clear/fresher, less stuffy. No need for medication that evening, and two days on my sinuses do feel clearer.

This is a good air purifier, in a nice slimline design, that appears to be effective on the quality of the air that you breathe. It will be interesting to see, long term, if it helps with my allergies — time will tell.

Thanks to Amazon Vine I have had the chance to try a few air purifiers and with all them I had one problem…I didn’t believe them. As with everything in life you get what you pay for and admittably those were cheaper sub 200 air purifyers that always told me the air quality was excellent, even when I was suffering from hayvefer during summer. This one on the other hand..can pick up the tinyest changes in air quality and starts cleaning immediately.

The product is quite a looker. It’s very slim so we actually ended up putting it the hallway thanks to it’s large coverage. There are two screens one on the top and one on the side which is handy if you want to check the air quality but you don’t want to get up from the bed/sofa. The screen on the side is smaller and will mirror the information displayed on the top screen which is fantastic. So the remote really becomes helpful as you can keep pressing the info button to cycle through what information you want displayed. As I mentioned the top screen is the same basicly but with added touch controls. The top is covered in black shiny plastic which is naturally a fingerprint magnet. Maybe glass would have been a better choice for cleaning but it’s probably reserved for the more premium models. Anyway this machine is so good in auto mode and it also comes with a remote that you really don’t have a reason to toch this surface too much so keeping it clean might be easier than you’d think. One thing I want to mention that I don’t like is the beeping sound on every toch of a button – remote included. This is so annoying and manufacturers need to give customers the option to disable these annoying sounds.

So the controls are the same on the base unit as on the remote. There is an on/off button and an auto button. I recommend leaving it on auto to be honest, the air purifier detects changes in air quality and will set the fan speed accordingly. If 100% is achieved it will turn the fan off and will monitor the air continuously. By the way there are ring shaped LED-s on the top and sides for different air quality results. Blue is good, anything above 86%, yellow is for 85% to 75% and anything below is red. Back to the buttons…you can adjust the fan speed manually if you want to and set a timer as well. There is the light button with 3 settings, bright, dim and off. If you turn off the light there will be just one very dim light staying on to let you know that the unit is on and it’s working but without lights, perfect for the night. Lastly there is the info button that can cycle through pages of information: current air quality, pm 2.5 particles/m3, pm10 particles/m3 and time left to achieve 100% air quality.

So doest it work? Yes it does. We were shocked to see how the air quality plummeted when the mrs started drying her hair. And fair enough the oil she has on her wet hair and the dust kicked up by the hair dryer must amount to something. The air was visbly misty especially when I turned on the light we could see particles floating around the lightbulb. No air purifier before noticed this before (the ones I tested at least) so it gave us confidence that this shark purifier actually knows what’s going on. Better yet, a week late when we had the purifier in the hallway it picked up the same thing even though my mrs was drying her hair in another room. It took it longer the notice it of course but that’s expected as the air took longer to degrade where the machine was. The coverage is great, it can comfortably cover spaces up to 110 sq metres which is enough for our flat and the aformentioned example showed us we don’t need to take this purifier from room to room if we can find a place for it in the hallway to monitor from there. Like I said the slim design really helps in finding place. The operations is quiet even on the loudest setting as the 4 fans are quite large.

I checked with the manufacturer and it looks like a replacement filter will set you back 60 (at the time of writing) which is more than reasonable considering you only need to change it every once in a while. The machine will let you know with an led.

All in all great machine, very happy with it and as silly as it sounds I can’t wait for next summer and the hayfever season to see how it can help me.

Shark Air Purifier 4 [HE400UK] Clean Sense iQ, Auto Mode, Multi-Staged Filtration, White

This air purifier is slimmer than my air purifier from another well-known brand, which makes it ideal in smaller spaces. Tho I can’t say that it is lighter but decent enough to be transported in every room in the house.

Using it is straightforward. Initially, you simply need to remove the tape slid in the filter. Then plug it in and turn it on using either the remote control or touch surface on the top of the unit.

You’ll hear a smart and futuristic beep signaling that it is working. You can adjust the fan setting and timer. The screen will display the air quality in the room, tho running it for 24hrs, our living room never reached 100% or even 99%. We have no pets, no one smokes in the house, and each room gets regular cleaning and dusting. The LED light will tell you if the air quality is getting better without reading the percentage.

It is not easy to say if this product is effective in cleaning the air. Tho I can say that it is effective in neutralizing the odor, especially in the kitchen.

But, what’s best is it comes with a 2-yr warranty. I can’t gauge if it cleans the air after using it for a couple of days. I have no reasons to knock off a star anyway.

In the past we’ve had a dehumidifier but never an air purifier. Bearing in mind we are still in a pandemic this seemed like a good thing to have bearing in mind it purifies the air. The box is mahoosive and did feel a little bit like pass the parcel when unboxing, however the device itself is fairly slimline and wouldn’t take up too much space in the house or room. We decided to place it to begin with in the living room. There isn’t a lot of instructions, there was one double sided A4 sheet of paper but it’s fairly easy to workout. The one thing you must do before switching on is removing the packaging around the filter. I do feel it should have come with a spare filter however the recommended life expectancy is 6-12 months. You do also get a remote control.

This is expensive and it only purifies the air however if you have an allergy sufferer in the house this is perfect for them. I have really bad dust allergies and I do feel this has helped me.

I knew I was ordering a big air purifier but still surprised by the size of this. It is measuring 810 tall x 440 wide x 150mm thick. The power cable is 1.8m long, comes with 3-pin plug. Cable comes out of the left hand side of the machine if you are looking at the front.

Design

+ This purifier adopts a 6-fan design, it even out the suction such that the area of the filter is fully utilised, oppose to one big fan only using the middle part of the filter.

+ Simple touch screen control and remote layout, no gimmicks, no app only simple operation and concise information.

+ Air is sucked in from the back and blown out from the sides, it circulates air in a large room much quicker than a single direction blow out.

+ Information is given on the top and the front face panel. Lights on the panels can be dimmed or turned off for bedroom use.

+ The air purifier detects PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 in the air. Information is display via a touch of a button so you know exactly what kind of air quality you are dealing with in different circumstances. I found this information very useful in helping me to decide which plant to put in the room as I am prone to allergy.

Performance

+ This is by far the highest performance in terms of air suction and wind speed of the three air purifiers I owned. My husband do vape in the living room and this clears it up in no time. I could smell the difference of air quality coming out of the machine.

+ Four manual speed modes, from quiet to maximum cleaning, or just leave it on ‘Auto’, the machine adjust the wind speed based on air quality, it reacts fast to dirty air.

+ No ‘sleep mode’ as such, but the slowest mode is quiet enough not to disturb your sleep.

Filter Replacement

+ A quick press of a button on the machine gives you the hours-left of the filter life. It is showing 4400 hours from new, this will last 2-3years for the way I use it, I don’t have to think about it for a few years which is nice.

+ This filter is much larger than other filters I have come across, however, the replacement filters for this are not any more expensive than the others. In fact, the official filter is selling at 69.99 on Shark’s website which I consider quite cheap and not money-making, also makes this very sustainable for the long term.

Overall, I like it out simple this machine is and how effective it is. The price of the 6-fan model is only 20 more than the 4-fan model, I would definitely pick the 6-fan model if I had the room for it. I have no hesitation to recommend this if you are looking for a good air purifier for a large room. I have owned other Shark products like vacuum cleaner sand it has never let me down.

Easy to use
A little on big size but works great
We suffer bad allergies so hoping this will work for us
Quiet when it use

I’m incredibly satisfied with this unit’s performance, it’s stationed on and of in a reception and waiting room area, where there is a lot of foot traffic.

The areas where the shark air purifier operates, are tightly congested with no windows. Even, with a thorough clean, there still remained a thin bead of dust on most of the windowsills and other furniture and overall the environment wasn’t pleasant.

If you’re interested in this, this is definitely a great long-term investment, the panels are easily removable and is a serviceable product, no hassle, involved.

The Clean Sense IQ, has been wonderful to use, I was able to figure out all of its settings without the manual so I’m quite happy with that.

Overall, for a product this price and from a reputable company such as Shark, quality is guaranteed, this product for me has been lightweight, serviceable and most importantly it worked and did the job, the build quality is great overall and after a months usage I have had no problems with this.

The fans are definitely powerful but don’t sound like jet engines, which is great news.
