Shark NeverChange Air Purifier (HP152) review

The NeverChange is the pick for buyers whose main worry is filter costs. Shark says its filter delivers up to 5 years of filtration, and it frames the saving against the cost of replacing filters over five years on leading competitor units under $150. That is the clearest answer on this list to the running-cost question, since Coway, Winix and Blueair all expect a new filter every 9 to 12 months. Shark rates the HP152 for 650 sq ft in one hour, which is one air change per hour under AHAM AC-1, and adds an odor neutralizer cartridge and a live air quality display. It was $199.99 when checked, down from $249.99, with free shipping over $99 and a 2-year limited warranty. The trade-off is transparency: the product page does not list a CADR or decibel figures, so you cannot check its cleaning speed or noise against the Coway or Winix. Buy it for low upkeep, not for proven performance per dollar.
