Ikea FÖRNUFTIG Air Purifier - Is it Good Value for Money?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

✅ Check out the full contextual review of the Ikea FÖRNUFTIG on the link below: 👉 www.airpurifierfirst.com/review/ikea-fornuftig/

[@jackventuras5050]

I just have this on my computer desk with the extra filter around my computer so I don't have to dust it so often. Plus it makes the air fresh when I use it for a long gaming session. A bonus is it creates a nice static white noise for sleeping.

[@MasakyoRenSai]

I live in a low pollution area and I just love its simple controls. Much less likely to have control problems and super easy to install/remove and clean the air filters. The max speed is a little noisy but I hardly ever need to use it.

[@Wheezy_calyx]

It’s not Hepa, it’s EPA12

[@hans3960]

Can you review the Ikea STARKVIND model? It looks really interesting to me. Operating costs are probably 1/10th of competitors due to filter prices.

[@AirPurifierFirst]

I will consider this one; thanks for the suggestion!

[@cordia96]

The Smoke and Noise Tests blow other reviews out of the water. While I still hope for a STARKVIND review, I might get 2 of these for the living room

[@MrSolvalou]

The complaint I have with Fornuftig is that speed 1 is too low filter anything, but speeds 2 and 3 are too loud! If speed 2 was slightly quieter and there was another speed between 2 and 3 then it would be much better.

[@AirPurifierFirst]

Try using it on third speed for the first 15 minutes and then switch to the first one to keep the air clean.

[@MrSolvalou]

@@AirPurifierFirst I try to run it at 2nd speed when I'm not in the room and 1st speed when I'm the room so as for it not to annoy me

[@chefgav1]

I have to agree 100%. 1st speed hardly moves any air but speed 2 and 3 is too loud

[@chefgav1]

@@AirPurifierFirst quite surprised with your results on this as the reviews on this are mostly poor. I have this purifier and found it to perform poorly

[@AndrewTSq]

I agree, but I actually saw a post where someone have put these cheap $5 ESP32 to controll the PWM to the fan, and made it have a full range of speed to select from. Have not tried it myself yet.

[@broloco3966]

what if I wash the filter, it looks washable.

[@AirPurifierFirst]

The pre-filter is washable, but you can also vacuum it. HEPA and carbon filters aren't washable!

[@broloco3966]

@@AirPurifierFirst alright thanks!

[@sergiojacome]

ikea states it meets EPA12 specs...

[@matiqanstar]

Does it come with the filters?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

It comes with a HEPA filter, but if you want the carbon filter, you'll need to buy it separately.

[@magnuspersson1433]

Very solid test. Thanks!

[@AirPurifierFirst]

Thanks!

[@Chedachz]

Have you done the Ikea Starkvind filter as yet?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

I still haven't. But, I plan to buy and review it in the future.

[@farisal-amer7635]

Thank you for the excellent video. May I kindly ask how long the cord is?

[@Mnguyen92]

The smoketest on which mode was is it on? 1-2 or 3?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

On third.

[@21dirtyj]

If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. kzbin.infoUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!

[@ulogy]

Super cheap filters, honestly. And the carbon is good for 2-3 HEPA cycles, I find. (Carbon doesn't really clog, it just gets less effective at controlling stank.)

[@UrbanExplorer614]

Would it better to have two of these or one Levoit 300S for a small apartment?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

Hmm, maybe two of these would be a bit better than one Levoit Core 300S.

[@broloco3966]

my ac produces a louder sound on low than the purifier does when set on max.

[@AirPurifierFirst]

Thanks for sharing your feedback on noise levels!

[@fatimafayesanchez]

Hello, is it good for pet fur?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

It's okay, but there are many better models.

[@crowclaw]

Would still appreciate a STARKVIND review. I’m thinking about 2 FÖRNUFTIG or the STARKVIND table.

[@gauravbhasin27]

Hi Milan I am Arav Bhasin - a grade 7 student from Mumbai India. For my Science project, I was planning to make a DIY economical Air purifier for distribution to local hospitals, public places as the air quality in the city has gone down drastically in the wake of growing construction activity. I saw your video, and was thoroughly impressed by its depth. I would like to understand how did you create the smoke in the transparent enclosure to test the cleaning capacity of the air filter under review to show it during the demonstration and for testing at my end as well. I would highly appreciate your positive response. Thanks

[@aaabbb-je3mw]

What is the height with the legs? IKEA say 45 cm but I guess it refer to the main part only

[@AirPurifierFirst]

I will measure it tomorrow and reply to the comment!

[@applejohnseeder7396]

Good review, thanks! Can you also please review the Levoit Core 400S and the new Core 600S?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

I can, of course! At the moment, I'm testing the Levoit Core 400s. What I noticed till now is that it's an outstanding air purifier with such a great performance.

[@applejohnseeder7396]

Oh perfect, looking forward to the video!

[@giovannispinotti]

108 sq ft? You sure that's not sq meters? 108 sq ft is smaller than my smallest bathroom.

[@Paulgary11]

You should make your website into a selling website with air purifiers and reviews

[@AirPurifierFirst]

Great idea! Thanks!

[@tusiaa805]

Is there any true hepa filter to use with it? I mean like chinese replacement or something like that.

[@AirPurifierFirst]

I haven't found any until now, but you can check Filtrete custom filters and see if any could fit.

[@tatonka411]

metres man. Use metres.

[@AirPurifierFirst]

I started using meters in few latest videos. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@utubeb14]

I'd be interested in seeing some samsug models

[@AirPurifierFirst]

Thanks for your suggestion!

[@Chanthaphoree]

What's CFM?

[@croness91]

Cubic feet per min aka flowrate

[@Jeshieurs]

Thank you for this, I bought this too, glad ur video its wort it

[@AirPurifierFirst]

Glad I could help!

[@HiCZoK]

you think that "hepa" filter really can't be just vacuumed ?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

Not, it can't. I'm preparing an informative video where I will test vacuumed vs. new and washed vs. new filters and prove why you can't wash or vacuum HEPA filters.

[@Paulgary11]

Can you please review the philips series 1000?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

Thanks for your suggestion, I will consider this one.

[@ricksanford6485]

Can you do a review of the Bissell air purifier?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

Thanks for your suggestion. I have a Bissell air purifier already on my to-do list.

[@allsaddam]

I keep looking at my phone because of the sound like a notification in the video :)

[@testytesteberger6397]

most of that filter will never get used because the fan vent is way smaller than the filter. Terrible but beautiful design. Apple approves!

[@MegaIkedog]

Nice review. Would you be able to review the new Levoit Core Mini air purifier?

[@AirPurifierFirst]

I saw that one. It's a very interesting air purifier, and it may be an improvement over the LV-H128 version, so, yes, I will definitely do the Levoit Core mini.

[@Jabreezylife]

Thanks for the review. I bought three recently for small bedrooms in the house but my big area purifiers are 2 blueair ones and i got one noisy smartair sqair. I wish blueair would offer wall mounted purifiers. It's really more convenient that way

[@FronosElectronics]

looks perfect to be wall mounted behind a 3d printer

[@j7en]

What do you think is the right direction to install the HEPA filter? It has 2 different distinct surfaces on both sides - one is rough and flat and the other is finer and has a little bit of creases like surface. From the way the black seal is located on your video it seems you are putting it with the finer side out.

[@j7en]

@@hornetgamingtv it has on both sides

[@SK-dn9nk]

@@j7en It means performance is same in either direction. However, in other air purifiers, the smooth side is on the outside.

[@ilmaavirtaa]

the ticking in the background is unbearable

Calling this a review is a crime. Two min video dragged into 10 mins

[@yuliangeorgiev]

How did Ikea manage to make such a trash device is beyond me. I can elaborate if anyone is interested.

[@yobrandonm]

Agreed just blows dust all over tossed it out and bought another Happi

[@SeniorAdrian]

Elaborate.

[@BekahMarie11]

All their stuff is trash 😂😂😂

[@peterchew6400]

Please elaborate

Interested why this air filter is trash.
