I bought an air purifier to help tackle allergy season — here's the biggest changes in my home after one month
The author tested the $249 Shark NeverChange air purifier for one month to address seasonal allergies and observed improvements in indoor air quality. The device's real-time pollen detection and HEPA filtration reduced dust and reportedly enhanced sleep quality. These changes were particularly beneficial given the author's increased sensitivity to allergens with age.
- ▪The Shark NeverChange air purifier uses HEPA filtration to capture small airborne particles like dust and pollen.
- ▪Within a week of use, the author noticed significantly less dust on surfaces and in the air.
- ▪The purifier adjusts its filtering rate based on real-time air quality sensing, including pollen levels.
- ▪Cleaning the side filters is a simple process involving wiping with a damp cloth or vacuuming.
- ▪The author linked better sleep and reduced allergy symptoms to improved indoor air quality from the purifier.
