Our Verdict
Shark Air Purifier HP102PET
Shark NeverChange HP152
The Shark NeverChange HP152 is a better performer than the Shark Air Purifier HP102PET. The HP152 can operate more effectively in larger spaces, and its NeverChange filter system lowers recurring costs over time. That said, the HP102PET does have an air quality sensor mode, which allows it to change its fan speed in real time depending on current air quality, reducing the amount of hands-on interaction required while running the unit.
