Shark HP301
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Shark NeverChange Air Purifier Max HP301 is a large-format air purifier designed for whole-home coverage up to 1,300 square feet. Its defining feature is a five-year lifespan True HEPA filter that significantly reduces long-term maintenance costs while combining multi-stage filtration with real-time air quality monitoring. It is highly recommended for those prioritizing sustained air quality improvements with minimal maintenance hassle.
The Air Health Haven Plus is an in-duct HVAC air purifier that uses UV-C light and PCO technology to neutralize pathogens and reduce VOCs throughout the whole house. While it offers significant energy savings and zero-ozone safety, it requires annual lamp replacements and lacks smart features. It is best suited for homeowners with central HVAC systems who want whole-house germ reduction without portable units.
