Henrik and the team had high demands. The air purifiers had to be effective, energy-efficient and quiet – and have affordable filters that are easy to change. All aspects were weighed against each other and prototypes were tested over and over again. “We want people to be able to use an air purifier every day if they need to. That’s why we focused so much on the total cost of owning and using our air purifiers,” explains Henrik.

Product details
The air purifier can be set to auto mode, which means that it automatically detects the particles (PM2.5) in the air and then adjusts the fan speed, so you can think about other things.
Our air purifiers are AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) certified. This means that all air purifiers from IKEA are thoroughly tested to ensure efficiency in the disposal of harmful allergens like tobacco smoke, dust and pollen.
Make the most of STARKVIND in the IKEA Home smart app using DIRIGERA hub. Adjust fan speed, check current air quality status, set timers and create scenes with your other smart home products.
With the IKEA Home smart app, you can turn on your air purifiers even when you're away – to make sure the air quality is good when coming home.
You can sleep with the air purifier on since it is very quiet at the lower fan speeds. If connected to the IKEA Home smart app, you can also turn the LED light off on the unit when going to sleep.
Easy to move between different rooms thanks to the integrated handle.

Good to know
The air purifier comes with a particle filter so it purifies the air from various particles as efficiently as possible. You can also buy a gas filter and use the two filters together.
Purifies the air in a space of up to 20 square metres, depending on which fan speed the air purifier is set to.
It will take longer time to purify the air if the room is larger than 20 square meters, but you can always use several air purifiers to cover a larger area.
This product is part of our smart home range. Connect it, along with other smart products, to DIRIGERA hub and IKEA Home smart app for more features and functions, that you can control from anywhere, not just when you're at home.
The particle filter is optimized to filter away approximately 99.5 percent of smaller airborne particles such as PM2.5 particles, dust and pollen.
PM2.5 are small inhalable particles, that measure 0.1-2.5 micrometres.
The gas filter (sold separately) purifies the air from various gaseous pollutants such as formaldehyde, which can be found in things like cleaning/household products and various fabrics and materials.
The gas filter helps to reduce the odour of smoke, cooking odours and other unpleasant odours that may be present in the home.
You can set the air purifier to 5 different fan speeds and thereby adapt it to the needs of your home, or you can use it in auto mode.
You can hide the cable on the inside of the air purifier to avoid cable clutter.
If you want to use a voice assistant, you can connect to Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, or Google Home through integrations in the IKEA Home smart app.
Check the filter regularly to see if it’s dirty. An LED indicator illuminates when you need to check your filters and possibly replace them. The filter is recommended to be replaced within 6 months.
The particle filter is tested according to EN 1822-1 and ISO 29463-3 which corresponds to class EPA12.
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) with particle and gas filter or only particle filter: Lowest fan speed 50/55 m3/h, highest fan speed 240/270 m3/h.

Ratings and reviews
We Already Notice A Difference PaulaIt was easy to assemble. It runs quietly and the air seems less dusty-smelling. Food odours seem to be gone quickly too. I'm very pleased with this air filter.
Amazing air purifierJanelleBest air purifier I’ve had (and I’ve tried many!) for what it cost. You can see every time you vacuum it how much dirt/dust it has taken out of the air. I now have 2 of IKEA’s air purifiers (one smaller one for the bedroom) and would purchase more if needed.
I have bought a lotRuipingI have bought a lot of things recently, and I like IKEA products very much because they are simple and generous. I also need to buy two bed frames, if you can get a discount, that would be great
perfect air purifierShawnIt works as advertised and the filters wont break the bank. I should have gone ahead and picked up the carbon filters, fire season is brutal.
Quiet and helpfulAliGoing into forest fire season we figured this might be helpful... but even if forest fire smoke doesn't end up in our area this also makes the cat litter room less likely to stink up the house and the kitchen smells to permeate the house less (especially if something gets burnt) so we like this device! It is also aesthetically pleasing and very quiet. I adore the setting where it only operates when it senses that it is necessary.
Good purifierAnonymous reviewerQuiet, cute purifier.
Functionality and great looksSandraThis is an amazing air purifier with great looks to add to any room.
We are very happy with our purchase and are definitely going to get another for another area of the house.
Works Great, Looks GreatAngieThe Starkvind works well and looks terrific too. It filters the air nicely at any speed setting. The filter is easily accessible when it’s time to change it. My dogs aren’t bothered by the sound made on the higher speed settings, which was a concern that is no longer.

Story
Let cleaner air be a part of your décor
Air purifiers contribute to better air in peoples’ homes every day. So do air purifiers from IKEA, but by combining the technology with our home furnishing knowledge, they also blend in. We think technology should be simple, affordable and easy to place in your home.
All over the world, people are affected by bad air quality, and it’s not only connected to bad outdoor air, tells Henrik Telander, who has worked with STARKVIND and our other air quality products. “Many of the things we do at home, like cooking and tidying with cleaning products, can leave different particles and pollutants in the indoor air. Another problem can be pollen or other outdoor air pollutants that come in via our ventilation. All these can be absorbed and filtered with the help of an air purifier.”
Easy to use every day
Tech that blends in
But it’s not enough that air purifiers are easy to use and that all technical specifications are in place – we think they should fit in the home as well. “Since IKEA is a home furnishing company, we have a unique opportunity to add the interior design aspect to our air purifiers. STARKVIND is easy to move around and designed to blend into the room.”
