Shark NeverChange Air Purifier (HP152) review

Shark's NeverChange purifier takes a different approach from the rest of this list: instead of a filter you replace every 6 to 12 months, Shark says its filtration lasts up to 5 years, which can save a lot over the life of the unit. The HP152 is the medium-room model, rated to clean up to 650 square feet, and its PureShield anti-allergen filtration targets dust, pet dander, smoke and other irritants. It is HSA/FSA eligible and comes with a two-year limited warranty, and it was on sale for $199.99 against a $249.99 list price when we checked. For this list the gap is noise data. Shark does not publish a decibel figure on the product page, so buyers cannot compare its night setting with the Coway, Levoit or Winix models. We scored its performance lower for that reason. It suits buyers who want low running costs more than a documented quiet setting.
