A bit expensive, well made machine does what it says on the box
Really easy to install and was like a Godsent for our family, helped my daughter’s breathing a lot. Very convenient to control with the remote and great quality.
From the moment you open the box you know you are dealing with a quality item.
I would probably have this in my home just to look at lol, such style and fantastic looks.
Every component on the outer casing is solid and secure and the purifier is extremely quiet when running its powerful inner.
The purifier is designed for large rooms. It can deal with mould and must effectively and can do wonders when making rooms right that have suffered from poor ventilation.
A fantastic product, the ferrari of the purifier world.
This is an amazing air purifier. It’s very simple and easy to use nothing hard about it. just plug and go.A great little piece of kit, very quiet can hardly hear it in our bedroom where it is. Can also notice the difference in the air quality since we started using it.
Having a house that is very dusty and with me and my partner being vapers we noticed that dust clings to everything so we decided that we needed a pretty powerful air purifier .as we use shark products we thought this would be an ideal fit for our household. Is very easy to setup and control.it says quite large but but it does the job exceedingly well. We have noticed a massive difference in the air quality and dust levels in the house we have this setup in the living room and we have also noticed that the dust is reduced in other rooms I cannot recommend this enough especially for those who have have breathing difficulties and would like dust and allergens reduced in their properties
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.
This is really a very impressive item – in fact the nicest air filter I have had the pleasure to use.
Out of the box you get the air purifier itself, a decent sized filter and a remote control. You must open up the machine to remove the plastic cover from the filter before use, but this is easy to do. Once the filter is unwrapped you are ready to go using the remote, or the buttons on the top of the purifier itself.
The purifier has four separate fans, so is has a decent amount of oomph and you can easily adjust the level of fan power you require. There is even an auto setting which adjusts according to air quality, which works really well, and a timer if you want to set it to operate for a specific length of time.
This is not a cheap item, and it is fairly sizeable, but it looks very stylish and funky and it ACTUALLY WORKS! If you are looking for an effective air purifier then this is definitely one to consider – I love it!
I had quite high expectations for this Shark product as Shark is known to make fantastic quality vacuums, and I would definitely say my expectations were met with this large room air purifier! The purifier is designed to clean the air of large rooms, so the size of the product was expected to be pretty big – I think it’s been designed well as it’s a very slim device, taking up as little floor space as possible and reaches quite tall instead. The device includes a remote control which allows you to adjust the settings without having to go to the device each time.
Pretty soon after using it, I definitely felt like the air in the room was cleaner and fresher. On the majority of its settings it runs very quietly, only when you have the max speed it will make a noticeable amount of noise. I think the product will work great for reducing pollen in the main room to help with family member allergies. Overall, it’s easy to set up and use – fantastic quality all-round, and I expect it to last for many years to come.
This air purifier is what i was looking for.
At home i had another air purifier, but much smaller and less powerful. While the Shark Air is bigger, but slimmer and very powerful. When i got the parcel i found out the box was very big, but once you open it, is absolutely beautiful to have it at home, still hight but slim.
The really good things is the remote control, which it allow you to use the air purifier without even move from sofa or bad. But if you like, you can also use the display on top or on the side.
The Shark Air Purifier 6 seems to be working really good at home, it doesn’t make a lot’s of noise and it is actually very powerful. A LED will help you to identify the type of air if it is good or not. For that i can just set the auto mode and it will do everything in automatic for a cleaner air.
I’ve been using tiny tabletop air purifiers and quite honestly they’re a joke compared to this one. Apart from anything else the quality is very high as you’d expect from shark.
The box is much bigger than you’d expect but it doesn’t make it too big for a home as its perfect.
I leave it on automatic all the time because I think I’ll leave it up to the machine what to decide.
The display is large and I love the colours.
You get a remote control too which is great for me in a wheelchair. It’s good that you can do the same things on the remote as you can on the unit.
I have two doggies and really bad hay-fever in the spring/summer. I haven’t tried this for hay-fever yet but I’m really hopeful that it’s going to be great.
The price is higher than anything I’ve tried before but the others were as basic as anything. This one has many features and you can tell a lot of time, effort and technology has gone into it.
The only thing I’m scared of is when the filter needs changing as things like that are usually premium priced. I’m hoping its affordable though so I can keep using it.
Overall this is highly recommended to give you super clean air around the home.
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.
This air purifier is made by a well known and reliable brand. It is large enough so that it can purify my whole living room which is rather large as it is connected to my kitchen too. It works effectively in filtering out the dusk which helps me so much as I have allergies and asthma which are affected by dust. I have found that my allergies have been better controlled since using the air purifier. The fan is really quiet.
Do make sure that you measure this beforehand to be sure that it fits as it is rather large and will take up some space in your living room. That being said, the machine is quite thin so it should be able to fit into a corner of your living room.
Also be sure that you can afford to purchase the replacement filters every 6 months or so. Upon looking on their website it is 69.99 for a replacement which I do find a little bit steep.
Keeping that in mind I would say that it is an investment worth making to help keep the allergies and asthma under control. Also if you live in the city or a really polluted area this air purifier would be ideal.
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.
Honestly this exceeds my expectations on at least two fronts.
First of all the filter itself and the fan mechanism. The filter is really well made, and heavy, it’s not just a paper filter, it’s a multi stage filter with a lot going on inside it. By the way, filter life seems to be about 6 months and the cost of replacement would appear to be around 40gbp.
Second, the auto sensing. There’s a screw panel in the back, remove it and you find one plantower PM2.5 sensor. These are high spec actual pollution sensors which fire a laser diode into a chamber and look for diffusion, they’re really high performance as they have their own fans in them too. And this means this fan can turn off completely while still being able to detect the air quality.
You can display the PM levels, 2.5 -> 10 on the panel.
If I have one gripe it’s that you cant, or they haven’t, made it sensitive enough for me. We also have a phillips unit which kicks to a higher speed if you so much as walk past, but this fan seems to need frying or smoke to really kick in – and I know the sensor is more sensitive than that, so it’s down to the programming.
Pros: high spec, high filtration, huge capacity, fancy control panel, remote control, timer, clever sensor, actually shuts off instead of “low” if it thinks the air is clean.
Cons: not as much granular control as I’d like given how much it *could* do, probably won’t use auto mode much as a result. Your mileage may vary.
Is it worth the money? Absolutely. Five years or so ago I paid about this much for a unit with this size that just has three speeds, no remote, and uses paper filters, and for that matter my old unit uses 148 watts on the lowest speed which is outrageous, I think this one uses about 48 as I recall…
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.
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.
1. This item is HUGE
2. Works almost silent, so can be used when you work or sleep
3. Noticed the improvements in a cough due allergy, so I hope it actually works!
Got this air-purifier for my dad, he suffers from allergies and constant cough. This air purifier helped him a bit and he coughs less.
Health is priceless but… At the time I am reviewing this item, it is 280. Which is pricey. Would I pay that much for this item? Can’t tell after week of use, so will return to this review in 3 months and describe my findings.
On paper everything works, but I am a bit sceptical, so if i see long time improvements then definitely will update my comment here!
Before this device we tried a smaller and cheaper air purifier (around 50) and it had zero effect. Hence I am sceptical with this one.
First impressions are a good looking well made Air Purifier has a quality feel to it.
What do you need an Air Purifier, it is designed to help with Asthma, it Eliminates Harmful Chemicals from Indoor Environments, Neutralises Unpleasant Odours, etc.
The Shark Air Purifier, is a Passive purifiers, which is the most efficient purifier removing dust and particulate matter permanently from the air and collected in the filters.
The Shark is very quiet, a slight whisper of a hum when its on, nothing that would disturb sleep etc.
Has a remote control for controlling everything.
These are ideal in an office space, you’ll be amazed at how effective these are, especially if you’re in a high solution area, windows and doors let in bad air, these really do make a difference.
A very well made machine, love its look and style, easy to use, ideal for home, office, shop etc.
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
Arrived in a box, inside a box, inside a box! so well protected.
The unit itself looks very very good. Looks like a quality item.
Glossy, thick solid plastic.
Touch sensitive controls and a remote too.
Variable fan speed or set to auto which detects to air quality and adjusts the fan speed accordingly.
Lights up red, amber, blue depending on air quality. Timer function too.
HOWEVER it lack a controls lock function and the control are so sensitive the cat can change the settings which is really annoying.
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.
