Product Information

Full details

The Shark NeverChange5 Air Purifier HP072UK is designed for homes seeking significantly cleaner air, especially those with allergies and pets. Its key benefit is its advanced 4-layer filtration system, including a washable pre-filter, which dramatically extends the main HEPA filter's life up to 5 years, reducing maintenance. While effective, note that the Anti-Odour scent cartridge requires periodic replacement to maintain its fresh scent output. This compact yet powerful unit offers real-time air quality monitoring and quiet operation, making it ideal for smaller spaces like bedrooms and nurseries.

FAQs

How often do I need to clean the Debris Defence pre-filter?

It is recommended to clean the Debris Defence pre-filter regularly, perhaps monthly, or more frequently if you notice reduced airflow or if the air quality in your home is particularly dusty or has a lot of pet dander. Always ensure it is completely dry before re-inserting.

How long does the main NeverChange5 HEPA filter last?

Thanks to the protective Debris Defence pre-filter, the main NeverChange5 HEPA filter is designed to last up to 5 years under normal usage conditions. The unit may have an indicator when replacement is eventually needed.

Can I wash the main HEPA filter?

No, the main NeverChange5 HEPA filter should NOT be washed. Only the Debris Defence pre-filter is washable. Washing the HEPA filter can damage its filtration capabilities.

How large of a room can this air purifier effectively clean?

This model is designed to purify rooms up to 23 square meters (approximately 247 sq. ft.) in one hour, providing 4.8 air changes per hour. It is best suited for small to medium-sized rooms like bedrooms, home offices, and nurseries.

Where can I buy replacement Anti-Odour Technology cartridges?

Replacement Anti-Odour Technology cartridges can typically be purchased directly from the Shark website or authorized retailers. Refer to your product manual for specific part numbers and purchasing information.

Does this air purifier produce ozone?

Info needed: [Most modern air purifiers with HEPA filters and activated carbon are designed to be ozone-free. However, without specific product information, a definitive answer cannot be provided. Please check the manufacturer's specifications or manual.]

Can I use the air purifier without the Anti-Odour Technology cartridge?

Yes, the air purifier will continue to function effectively for air purification (capturing particles, allergens, and neutralizing gases with the activated carbon layer) even without the Anti-Odour Technology cartridge installed. You simply won't get the added scent release or enhanced odour neutralization from that specific cartridge.

Troubleshooting

The air purifier does not turn on.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet is functioning by plugging in another device. If equipped with a main power switch, ensure it is in the 'ON' position.

Air quality indicator (CleanSense IQ) always shows poor air quality.

Ensure the air sensor intake is not blocked by dust or debris; gently clean it if necessary. Check if the room is sealed (windows/doors closed) and there are no ongoing sources of pollution (e.g., strong cooking odours, smoking, spraying aerosols).

Reduced airflow or purification performance.

The Debris Defence pre-filter may be clogged. Remove and clean it by vacuuming, wiping, or rinsing it. Ensure it is completely dry before re-installing. Also, check that the air intake and output vents are not obstructed.

Anti-Odour scent is no longer noticeable.

Check the Anti-Odour Technology cartridge. It may need to be replaced if its scent-releasing capability has diminished. Ensure the scent level dial on the unit is adjusted to your desired setting.

Unit is making unusual noises.

Turn off and unplug the unit. Check for any foreign objects that may have entered the fan area. Ensure all filters are correctly seated and not rattling. If the noise persists, contact customer support.
