When David had trouble finding affordable and good-looking air purifiers, he started experimenting and building his own at home. “They turned out nice, but were honestly not the most efficient.” The experience was still valuable when he joined our team that developed FÖRNUFTIG air purifier. The work was much about optimising all small technical details to make it simple without sacrificing quality and energy-efficiency. “But when we develop at IKEA, we also do it from a home furnishing perspective, and we want FÖRNUFTIG to blend into the home. That’s why you can hang it on the wall, put it on the floor or use the handle to move your air purifier to another room.”

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.
Particle filter included. Gas filter sold separately.
Purifies the air in a space of up to 8-10 square metres, depending on which fan speed the air purifier is set to.
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 3 different fan speeds and thereby adapt it to the needs of your home.
Set the air purifier to sleep mode, the lowest fan speed with low noise, during the night so you can sleep well while the air is purified.
The air purifier has a clean design, a low weight and a small size ⎼ so it’s easy to place in your home.
Practical cable management on the backside helps you avoid cable clutter.
The pull-tag on the right side makes it easy to loosen the pre-filter in order to clean it, or to remove it to change to a particle and/or gas filter.
Suitable in various rooms of the home, even in the smallest children's rooms.
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.

Incredible Product - Works Like MagicKamilIKEA makes incredible products, and this Fornuftig Air Purifier is a testament to the quality and standards.
I had severe fine dust, lint, etc, among other issues. I had another machine set, but still the issue persisted. After setting up this Air Purifier, my room is mostly dust and lint-free.
You cannot expect it to get everything from everywhere but it takes care of 80% of the issue. I have set it up to level 3, and it runs continuously 24/7.
The noise is only noticeable when you have switched all the equipment in the room off, and even then, it's minimal.
It's been months, and I still have not found the need, nor has the indicator been lit for filter change. So the filter will also last a very long time.
I am extremely happy with yet another IKEA purchase and I hope to keep purchasing more such incredible products from IKEA in the future.
P.S: My only suggestion to IKEA is to do something about the colour change of the prefilter after the HEPA filter has collected dust.
Sensible indeed.Anonymous reviewerI live in Delhi and the AQI goes to hazard in some months, thanks to stubble burning in nearby states. Air purifier becomes a necessity during that time. This one works as expected but dont expect it to filter a big hall as its a small device, works best in a small room of 140 square feet or less. Low power mode is quiet and can be used as a sleep mode. Filters are not costly but its not HEPA, its EPA-12 that does 95% of the job, which is good enough for me. Also the filters are snug fit and well made so all the air it intakes goes through the filter assembly. Carbon filter is good for odours and other irritants, recommended. The primary cloth filter in the front is useful. This product looks classy and minimalistic with only one knob to adjust speed and switch it on. Go for it in case you are looking for a budget friendly option.

Furnish with cleaner air
Pollution in a busy city can often be visible to the naked eye. But, did you know that the air in our homes also contains pollution from dust, pollen, cooking and gas chemicals that are bad for our health? Airing out and cleaning help to a certain degree, but with an air purifier, the particles and gas chemicals such as formaldehyde are effectively filtered – while you do other things.
David Wahl works as a Product Designer at IKEA. In connection with a move some years ago, he became more aware of how much the indoor air means to our health. “All homes contain particles and gas chemicals in different shapes, and today when we spend more time indoor, they can lead to, among other things, allergic reactions and bad sleep.”
An air purifier that blends in
Cleaner air for more people
FÖRNUFTIG is quite far from the first attempts David did at home. In a team with various competencies, there are better preconditions to develop a reliable air purifier that can make a difference for more people. “Air pollution is a serious problem, and we want to provide solutions that help people breathe cleaner indoor air.”
