Description
Intelligent Air Purification. Advanced Air-Quality Sensing. Up to 6 Years Without Replacing the HEPA Filter.*
Monitor and manage the air throughout your home with the Shark BreatheClear HP162UK Air Purifier in Dove. Combining intelligent sensing, powerful filtration and real-time air-quality information, BreatheClear is designed to automatically react as conditions change while keeping you informed through its high-resolution LCD display.
At the heart of the HP162UK is Shark's NeverChange6 filtration system. Designed to exceed standard HEPA filtration requirements, it captures 99.98% of particles at 0.1–0.2 microns under the specified test conditions. The system is designed to tackle airborne particles including household dust, pollen, pet dander and mould spores, while separate full-machine testing has also been carried out against bacteriophage MS2 and Aspergillus brasiliensis mould spores.
The NeverChange6 HEPA filter is designed to operate for up to six years without replacement under Shark's specified test conditions. A removable and washable Debris Defence filter helps protect the main HEPA filter by capturing larger material such as dust, fibres and pet hair before it reaches the primary filtration system.
Advanced sensors scan the surrounding air up to 3,600 times per hour, monitoring pollutants and environmental conditions so the purifier can react quickly. Motion detection can increase purification when activity is detected, while light sensing allows the display to dim automatically when the room becomes darker.
My Air IQ provides an at-a-glance view of indoor conditions including particulate matter, VOCs, humidity and temperature. With no app required for viewing this information, you can monitor changes directly from the purifier's integrated LCD display.
Designed for medium-sized rooms, the HP162UK provides coverage of up to 70m² at one air change per hour or approximately 14m² at 4.8 air changes per hour, based on Shark's specified AHAM AC-1-2020 testing in MAX mode.

NeverChange6 Filtration
Reduce the inconvenience and expense associated with frequent HEPA filter replacement with Shark's NeverChange6 filtration system.
Under Shark's stated test conditions, the main filter is designed to operate for up to six years without needing replacement.
The six-year figure is based on testing to GB/T18801-2022 PCCM using a 50% CADR decline threshold, a 14m² cleaning area and 12 hours of daily operation on MAX fan speed.
Actual filter life can vary depending on air quality, usage, operating conditions and maintenance.
Exceeds HEPA Filter Standards
The filtration system is designed to provide particle capture beyond conventional HEPA requirements.
According to Shark's supplied testing information, the purifier captures 99.98% of particles measuring 0.1–0.2 microns when tested at maximum airflow in accordance with IEST RP CC007.4.
Captures Airborne Particles
The HEPA-based filtration system is designed to capture a wide range of airborne particulate pollutants drawn through the purifier.
- Household dust
- Pet dander
- Pollen
- Mould spores
- Fine particulate matter
The 99.98% figure relates specifically to particle capture under the stated laboratory test conditions and should not be interpreted as guaranteeing removal of 99.98% of every type of pollutant in every room.
Full-Machine Microorganism Testing
Shark also states that the complete purifier has been tested in a 30m² chamber in MAX mode against bacteriophage MS2 and Aspergillus brasiliensis mould spores using an AHAM-AC5-based test method.
This is separate from the 99.98% particle-capture claim and should not be interpreted as guaranteeing that a room will become virus-free, mould-free or sterile.
Advanced Sensors
BreatheClear continually monitors the environment so it can react when indoor conditions change.
The advanced sensor system scans the surrounding air up to 3,600 times per hour and can automatically increase or reduce purification according to detected pollutants and activity.
3,600 Air Scans Per Hour
With the sensing system checking conditions up to 3,600 times every hour, the purifier can respond quickly to changes rather than relying only on occasional manual adjustments.
Motion Detection
Movement around the room can stir up particles that have settled on floors, furniture and fabrics.
The HP162UK uses motion sensing to detect activity and can boost purification when movement is identified, helping respond to changes as they occur.
Light Detection
Integrated light sensing allows the purifier to adjust its display behaviour when the room becomes darker.
This helps make the HP162UK more suitable for bedrooms and evening use by reducing unnecessary screen brightness in low-light conditions.
My Air IQ
My Air IQ brings multiple indoor air measurements together on the purifier's display so you can better understand changing conditions throughout the day.
Depending on the monitored parameter, the system can provide information relating to:
- PM1 particles
- PM2.5 particles
- PM10 particles
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Humidity
- Temperature
- Overall indoor air trends
PM1 Monitoring
PM1 refers to very fine airborne particulate matter measuring approximately 1 micron or less.
The BreatheClear monitoring system provides insight into changing PM1 levels so you can see when fine-particle concentrations increase or decrease.
PM2.5 Monitoring
PM2.5 refers to fine airborne particles measuring approximately 2.5 microns or smaller.
Monitoring PM2.5 helps provide a clearer picture of fine-particle pollution in the room.
PM10 Monitoring
The HP162UK also tracks PM10, a category covering larger airborne particulate matter up to approximately 10 microns.
VOC Monitoring
Volatile Organic Compounds can be released into indoor air from a wide variety of household materials and activities.
The purifier's VOC sensing provides additional information about changes in gaseous indoor pollutants.
Humidity Monitoring
My Air IQ can display indoor humidity information, helping you understand changing environmental conditions.
The HP162UK monitors humidity but is not specified as a humidifier or dehumidifier.
Temperature Monitoring
Temperature information can also be viewed as part of the purifier's environmental monitoring system.
The purifier measures room temperature but does not provide conventional heating or air-conditioning functionality.
High-Resolution LCD Display
View useful information directly on the purifier without needing to open an app.
The integrated high-resolution LCD screen displays real-time information about your indoor air and environmental conditions in a clear, accessible format.
No App Needed for Air-Quality Information
The core air-quality information described for My Air IQ is available directly from the purifier's built-in display.
This makes it easy to check current conditions without relying on a smartphone for everyday monitoring.
Automatic Air Purification
In automatic operation, the purifier can use information from its sensors to adjust purification power as conditions change.
When pollutant levels or room activity increase, the system can respond automatically rather than requiring constant manual adjustment.
Auto Mode
Auto Mode is designed for convenient everyday purification by allowing the HP162UK to react to detected air quality and activity.
This is a useful option when you want the purifier to manage its own performance throughout the day.
Manual Fan Speeds
For greater control, manual fan-speed settings allow you to choose the level of airflow and purification that best suits the situation.
Daily Routine Sleep Mode
Daily Routine Sleep mode provides a more sleep-friendly operating option, helping reduce unnecessary disturbance during the night.
The exact behaviour of the mode should be used in accordance with the supplied instructions.
Coverage Up to 70m²
When measured at one air change per hour, Shark states that the HP162UK can cover rooms up to approximately 70m².
This figure is based on AHAM AC-1-2020 testing in MAX mode.
14m² at 4.8 Air Changes Per Hour
For more frequent air circulation, Shark states coverage of approximately 14m² at 4.8 air changes per hour.
Higher air-change rates mean the purifier processes the room's air more frequently, which is why the recommended room size is smaller than the one-air-change-per-hour figure.
What Does Air Changes Per Hour Mean?
Air Changes Per Hour, often abbreviated to ACH, describes how many times the purifier can theoretically process a volume of air equivalent to the room's air within one hour under the stated test conditions.
Actual results vary according to ceiling height, room shape, door and window position, airflow obstruction, pollutant sources and fan setting.
Washable Debris Defence Filter
A removable Debris Defence filter sits ahead of the primary HEPA filtration system to capture larger material.
- Helps catch household dust
- Captures pet hair
- Captures fibres
- Helps protect the main HEPA filter
- Removable for maintenance
