IKEA Now you have your new home device ready. It's about a air purifier with a rather particular aesthetic, although in tune with what we had already seen in their Bluetooth speakers and those that were later launched in collaboration with Sonos. This is the new FÖRNUFTIG.
IKEA's first air purifier
IKEA is prepared to continue expanding its catalog of products for the home, but this time it has nothing to do with intelligent lighting, much less with sound issues, no matter how much it physically resembles the range of speakers that the company has been selling for a long time. company. On this occasion, what it is about is a air purifier.
FORNUFTIG is the name of this new product and it is just as unpronounceable for many of us as the other products in its catalogue. And it is that beyond the Billy shelves and the Lack tables, few products are easy to remember, so we will directly call it an IKEA purifier.
The first thing that will surprise you is its design. Here IKEA doesn't really innovate and At an aesthetic level, the purifier follows the lines seen in its range of speakers., particularly those that are Bluetooth only and not the symphonisk family that we were already able to analyze and had been created in collaboration with Sonos.
In that way, the front is covered by a gray cloth while the rest is a plastic chassis available in both black and white. For the rest, you can see in the images that IKEA here is also inspired by its own speakers to provide the product with greater versatility depending on how you want to use it.
For example, a structure can be attached to it that would act as a leg so that it can be placed standing on the ground or on any other flat surface. And then, if what you are interested in is having it on the wall, you can also hang it and thus optimize the space or simply improve to a certain extent the entire flow of air in and out.
Regarding its own functioning as an air purifier, the new FÖRNUFTIG incorporates a triple filter Hera 12 with which large particles such as hair or pet hair are removed; also particles smaller than 2,5 microns such as dust or pollen and a last filter that would eliminate gaseous pollutants. Therefore, in addition to cleaning the air, it would also reduce unpleasant odors that could, for example, be generated in the kitchen while different dishes are being prepared.
For the rest, the control dial is very simple and the only thing that will have to be selected is one of the three power levels at which it can work. The lowest will be ideal when you want to use it while sleeping.
FÖRNUFTIG, available in February
IKEA's new air purifier was introduced in China at the end of the year, but it's not until next February 3 when it will arrive in Spain and other countries at a price of 59 euros. The filters will also be sold in stores and will vary between 5 and 10 euros depending on what it is.
So, with all this, you still have a few days ahead to find out about all the benefits of an air purifier and why it would be interesting to bet on one. So that when it arrives you can go for a shot.
