Shark's “Amazing" Air Purifier Is 22% Off, Just in Time for Cold and Flu Season

My air purifier has become a home essential — it’s just as important for keeping my space clean as my vacuum is. It earned its MVP status a few years ago when my neighbor across the hall would smoke cigarettes so often that the smell would seep underneath my door. After that started happening, an air purifier wasn’t just a want — it was a need. Even though I (thankfully) moved out, my air purifier hasn’t gone anywhere. After all, city living means that the air quality, even indoors, isn’t always up to snuff.

Thanks to its ability to also filter out particles, allergens, and bacteria, I have my purifier running pretty much all of the time, but especially during the colder months. Cold and flu season has just arrived, and I want to do everything I can to avoid getting sick (if my luck does run out, at least I’ll have a clean air source). If you don’t already have your own — or you want to upgrade your worn-out model — QVC is offering a deal that you can’t miss. This Shark air purifier has an almost perfect rating — and it’s at a Black Friday-level sale price. Here’s why you should snag it before the 22% off deal ends.

Shark is an editor-loved brand for a reason — in fact, its cordless vacuum is a favorite of mine — so if you’re after quality for a solid price, this air purifier is a great buy. But why? Well, to start off, it uses a powerful fan that offers four speeds, which adjusts automatically based on the air in your space. It also features Clean Sense IQ technology that tracks air quality and auto-adjusts to improve your air in real time. Best of all, the anti-allergen NANOSEAL filter, which the brand claims “captures more micropollutants than HEPA standards require,” can detect and handle three different particle sizes (large, small, and micro), resulting in some of the cleanest air around.

This purifier is designed to tackle up to 500 square feet, which is perfect for ridding studio apartments or bedrooms of things like dust, dander, allergens, and smoke. You can also bring it with you from room to room, as it only weighs about six pounds. It’s also made to seamlessly blend into your space; you can slide it underneath a table out of sight or place it on top of a desk for easy access, so you can check the display panel for air quality measurements, and filter life. All the while, it’ll run discreetly with minimal noise and lights. What’s not to love?

Average Rating: 4.9/5

“It’s small but packs a powerful punch. The air stays clean and detects even a small amount of dust or smoke. I love the auto feature, as once the air reaches 100% it shuts off to save power, and turns back on by itself to clean once it goes back below 100%. I had severe allergies from pollen and dust and since getting this purifier, I’ve resolved 99% of my issues.” —Tommyspc

“The auto mode is excellent. Whenever we are cooking, it detects the particles in the air and the food odors and it immediately kicks into higher gear until it cleans the air to 100% good air quality. The filter lasts a long time (ours runs 24/7 and it still has 81% filter life left). The unit tells you exactly how much filter life is left, which is handy. We are very happy with this product.” —WheezyGirl

“My son feels so much better. He has asthma. The air smells better. It does help clean the air after cooking on the stove.” —Lottie

Before you know it, winter will be in full swing, and cold and flu cases will reach their peak. The timing, paired with the sale price, makes this gem too good to pass up. New QVC customers can even use the code WELCOME20 for another $20 off, so don’t wait to take advantage of this deal — it’s going fast!
