I recently purchased the Shark HP232 Clean Sense Air Purifier MAX, and so far, it has been a great addition to my home. The purifier has proven to be effective in detecting and reducing allergens and odors. For example, it immediately kicks into high gear when there's smoke from cooking or when I open the door to my brother's room after it has been closed all day. It's clear that this purifier is actively working to improve the air quality by picking up allergens, and the added air freshener feature is a nice touch that makes my living room smell fresher.Setting up the Shark HP232 was a breeze. The process was incredibly straightforward, taking me no more than five minutes to complete. The manual provided was easy to read and follow, making the entire setup process seamless.One minor issue I've noticed is the noise level when the air quality drops below 70%. It sounds similar to a standard box fan—not overly loud, but noticeable enough. Given that this is part and parcel of maintaining air quality, it’s a small trade-off for the benefits it provides.My apartment is relatively small, so the air purifier might be overkill for my space, but it effectively covers the entire home. I was surprised by the size of the unit—it was much bigger than I anticipated. I didn’t pay close attention to the dimensions and had to find a new spot for it, but it ultimately worked out well. The size does not detract from its functionality, as it seems to be doing an excellent job.I purchased this air purifier because I care for my older brother, who has asthma, and we have a short-haired dog whose dander I suspected was exacerbating his condition. While it's still early to tell if it has made a significant impact on his asthma, I've noticed a decrease in dust accumulation. Our weekly cleaner has also remarked on the reduction of dust, which is a positive sign.Overall, the Shark HP232 Clean Sense Air Purifier MAX has been a worthwhile investment for maintaining better air quality in my home. It effectively reduces allergens and odors, making it an excellent choice for anyone with similar needs.
