Shark 3-in-1 Clean Sense Air Purifier MAX, Heater & Fan, HC502, White

I recently purchased the Shark 3-in-1 Max Air Purifier, Heater & Fan, and it has been a fantastic addition to my home! This versatile unit excels at purifying the air, heating small spaces, and providing a cooling breeze during warmer months. The NanoSeal HEPA filter effectively captures 99.97% of airborne particles, including dust, allergens, and pet dander, ensuring that the air in my home is clean and fresh. The CleanSense IQ technology automatically adjusts the settings based on the air quality, making it effortless to maintain a healthy environment. The Odor Lock feature is a bonus, as it helps eliminate unpleasant odors, keeping my home smelling fresh. The unit is also incredibly quiet, which is a huge plus for me. The remote control and LED display make it easy to operate, and the compact design fits perfectly in my living room without taking up too much space. The heating function has been a lifesaver during the colder months, and the fan mode is great for circulating air in the summer. Overall, this Shark 3-in-1 Max Air Purifier, Heater & Fan has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and convenience. It's a smart investment for anyone looking to improve their indoor air quality and comfort year-round.

I wasn't looking for an air purifier but while in search for filters for my current one, I found this. I was immediately drawn in because it was floor model size, shows the air quality, and is a fan and heater too. It was a little bigger than expected as far as width, but not height. I like that it shows the air quality and it usually declines when cooking. Putting it on auto is great because as the air quality improves it lowers the speed level and vice versa. The sound is pretty quiet on the first 2 levels, and are the loudest on levels 5 and 6 but I would say no louder than any other purifier or fan I know. I also find it cool that you can set it to oscillate. It is a bit on the pricey side and for that I wish the fan/heat vent was a little bigger. I like that there's a remote control but I would have also liked the option of having control settings on the actual item instead of needing the remote to conrol it. The only thing you can do without the remote is power on and off. Also, for the price it would have been good to be able to switch between purifier and fan/heat mode not just manually, but with the remote too. Lastly, I don't care for the loud chiming noise it makes when using the control settings. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. I recommend it if you want a good quality air purifier and if you're only looking to cool or heat a small area. I don't think it's a good replacement to cool larger areas.

I have several MedifyAir air purifiers that I like but I wanted one that had a heat option because my other purifiers kick out cool air and as a result I rarely use them during winter months. With this unit you can just clean the air, or activate the heater as it cleans, or activate the fan as it cleans. Having clean air that can heat or cool your room is next level. In addition, both the fan and heater work VERY well. With some air purifiers you really don't know how well they're working but with this unit you know because the numeric readout tell you the cleanliness of your air. It's so sensitive it even detects when I open the house or garage door. And it REALLY works it's magic when you fry food. It's so quiet I wasn't even sure it was cleaning in Auto Mode but it was and as the air got worse it increased the air intake speed until the air was good, then it lowered the air intake speed. All the available settings, such as the ability to adjust temperature, available oscillation, LED light function, etc... are an added bonus. If you're thinking about this unit you will not be disappointed. One word of caution, it is big. It may not be the best choice if you have limited available space. I love Shark products and in my opinion they did VERY well with this product. We LOVE it!

When used as an air filter alone, it is moderately alright for performance. It runs like garbage as an air filter when using heater mode; blowing at number 6 max is about 90% slower than it blows in regular air filter mode. It is about the speed of 1 to 2 HE401 or HE601 fans. The HE401 has 4 fans and the HE601 has 6 fans. I have 2 of those. If they had a built-in heater and the fan did not slow down like a busted twin turbo system when you switch on heat like the Shark HC502 3-in-1, I wouldn't bother with this one. The HE601 covers a room better than 2 of these for filter fan power. I'll tell you how an item works instead of giving you a bone-headed non-technical, consumer-based, emotional response about how good or bad the product made me feel, like I usually find when I am looking for advice. I will just say, before you buy, just know that the heater does work, but turning on the heater slows down the device's fan so much that it almost turns the fan off, even at max, blowing less wind than a cheap $20 space heater. You can barely hear it. When you turn off the heater, the fan kicks back to normal speed. It doesn't matter how high or low the temperature setting is; it is the mode itself. Again, it works moderately as a heater and a lot better as an air purifier, but not both at the same time. How is it expected to purify the air as a heater, when it barely pulls any air to begin with. I've just bought 2 of these at the same time and I am disappointed in this product on account of the way it is marketed versus its performance. It is not worth the near $400. Half price off would still be pushing it. The HE601 is not even worth that much, but it is closer to it than the Shark HC502 3-in-1 is.

Honestly loved this air purifier so much. Had it for three years. Until it stopped working on me, to be fair it did get its power cord chewed up by my dog and I had to splice it like 3 times. Some may not like the noise when turning but it’s great background noise to fall asleep too. I’ve had it on pretty much 24/7, great at keeping a room at the set heat temperature. My place gets dusty pretty quick and having three dogs, one is a husky so hair gets everywhere. I actually ordered another one cause I was upset mine broke, may have to tweak around with it and see if I can fix it. Then maybe I can have two of these awesome air purifiers. I can also say these past couple days without an air purifier my allergies have been acting up. So definitely recommend one if you are on the hunt for a good one.

Don’t waste your money I purchased two air purifiers and both of them stopped working within a month apart they last for about five months. I noticed short circuit in the wire a month prior to the units shutting down. Great concept, but the engineers didn’t troubleshoot the unit long enough horrible failure.

Updated Review: 5 Stars Initially, I rated the Shark 3-in-1 Max Air Purifier, Heater & Fan 3 stars because the air quality sensors weren’t working properly—they always indicated 100% clean. However, I work in an old building where employees wear dirty boots and stir up dust, so I knew the air wasn’t always perfect. Recently, the sensors started working correctly. In the mornings, they indicate air quality in the 90s and gradually improve to 100. When a coworker burned their food, the air quality dropped to the 70s and took about two hours to return to 100. I love this device! It makes my office more comfortable by constantly circulating the air, whether it’s hot or cool. The heater is very quiet and keeps my office cozy. I also love the timer feature as I can set it for 9 hours when I arrive and don’t have to worry about shutting it off. When I hear it shut down, I know it’s close to my time to start shutting down as well. Wish I would have ordered another one for home. The price has significantly increased.

So the first one I got smelled so bad - very toxic plastic from the heater. No it wasn’t the filter offgassing. It’s burning wiring inside touching the heating element. Shark faq support for this issue says to let it burn off after a while, I tried for half a day / it was really bad, hurt my lungs, headache / and air quality got down to 60% according to the display - while it was “burning” off and it wasn’t dissipating (Yes I took the bag off the filter). Second one I got had no burning smell at all at startup, worked great until at 1am it was mimicking the worlds most annoying noise from dumb and dumber. There was something wrong with the rotation function. I turned it off and all went quiet - returned. 3rd one works fine - no smell! Purchased a black one at Best Buy and got the extended warranty given the issues with the other two. Love it so far! Wish the beeps were quieter or could be turned off. I also added some raised glow in the dark stickers to the remote so I can differentiate the buttons in the dark - otherwise the flat remote is impossible to see or tell what buttons you’re pushing.

Heats great purifies air the only issue would be the oscillation i thought it was broken when it slightly pauses as it turns after running though a bunch of video its normal

Es un buen purificador si llegar a ser excelente, pienso que por el precio debería de tener algunas ventajas como manejarse con Alexa o que el control fuera con Bluetooth , si quieres un diseño discreto este no lo es , además de tener un rango de oscilación bastante corto , cumple con la función y es de calidad pero si se quiere algo más completo , yo ahorraba más y me hiba por el Dyson.

La verdad como calentador , no es ta eficiente , lo puse en una recámara de 4*4 Mts y jamás pasa más de 20 grados Celsius y eh tenido calentadores de mil pesos que calientan mil veces mejor el cuarto !
