IKEA has entered the air purifier market, but according to a scathing review from The Wirecutter, the purifier falls short in terms of performance and accuracy. The review, filled with factual errors and misleading statements, criticizes IKEA’s use of a “PM2.5 filter,” which doesn’t actually exist. The review also points out that the Wirecutter fails to understand the basics of air filtration, including the fact that “true-HEPA” is not a legally or scientifically defined term. Additionally, the review highlights the effectiveness of air filters, stating that both E12 and H13 filters are capable of capturing almost all particles. The Wirecutter’s negative critique of the IKEA purifier’s strength and clean air delivery rate is also called into question. The review concludes by comparing the costs and benefits of the IKEA purifier to its recommended alternative, highlighting the IKEA model’s lower cost, energy usage, and filter expenses. However, the review criticizes the Wirecutter’s test results, which suggest varying levels of particle removal, calling them into question.
