The Shark HP302 NeverChange Air Purifier MAX sounds pretty impressive overall, but there are a few things to consider. The HEPA filter and odor-neutralizing cartridge it uses are aimed at cleaning the air and tackling household smells.

The manufacturer claims that the HEPA filter can last up to five years, which could save quite a bit on replacement costs—potentially over $300. The odor-neutralizing cartridge is another story, though. Some people like the added scent, but others think it's too strong or not effective enough, especially against strong pet odors. This is based on what we've found from various user experiences.

For capturing particles like dust, pet dander, and allergens, the purifier seems to do a really good job. Many people have noticed a big difference in their air quality, both in how it feels and what the air quality indicators show.

But here's where it gets a bit tricky—the air quality sensor. Some folks have noticed that it sometimes reads the air as 100% clean all the time, which suggests there might be some calibration issues. Still, the fact that the purifier adjusts fan speeds automatically based on air quality is something many people appreciate.

In short, if you're looking to cut down on dust and allergens, this purifier looks like a solid choice. Just be aware that opinions are mixed on its odor control and sensor accuracy.

If those are big concerns for you, you might want to look into other options or read more reviews before deciding.

No, the Shark HP302 NeverChange Air Purifier MAX doesn't come with a remote control.

You’ll have to manage all the settings directly on the unit or through its display panel. According to the manufacturer's description, it's great at filtering the air with its high-efficiency HEPA system and has some nice features like an advanced odor-lock.

Plus, it's designed for larger rooms. Even though you can't control it remotely, our research shows it's been rated well for its performance and quiet operation.

The Shark HP302 NeverChange Air Purifier MAX has a 'NeverChange' HEPA filter system that's supposed to last up to five years, according to the manufacturer. This can save you from the hassle of frequent filter changes and potentially save you a good chunk of money—around $300 in replacement costs over its lifespan compared to other models that need regular filter swaps.

Pretty handy if you don't want to constantly think about getting new filters, right?

It captures 99.98% of airborne particles, which is great for keeping your indoor air super clean. There's also a Debris Defense filter that protects the main HEPA filter from bigger particles. It's washable, making maintenance a bit easier and helping the HEPA filter stay effective for the full five years.

One cool thing about this purifier is its eco-mode, which uses Clean Sense IQ tech to adjust the fan speed based on real-time air quality. This smart feature means the filter isn’t working harder than it needs to, which can help it last longer.

But not everyone has the same experience. According to our research, some folks noticed their filters didn't last as long as expected, with effectiveness dropping after less than a year. It seems like keeping up with cleaning the pre-filters and using the optimal settings can help you get closer to that five-year mark.

So, while results can vary, the long-lasting filter and low maintenance make the Shark HP302 a pretty solid choice for keeping your air clean without too much fuss.
