IKEA continues to renew its product catalog and in this case it is once again betting on the connected home. And if a few months ago we were able to test the FÖRNUFTIG purifier, now It goes back to betting on the decorative touch and also on the connection with the mobile with these new models.
Specifically, there are two purifiers that the Swedish brand is already beginning to sell in some countries, including Spain and respond to the name of STARKVIND. Two purifiers, one in the shape of a table and the other similar to a circular speaker that serve to clean the air in the home and also to decorate the house.
Connected with Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit
With these models, the Swedish firm follows the IKEA guidelines of offering products at competitive prices. In fact, it is already listed on the IKEA website in different countries, including Spain, at a price of 149 euros and 99 euros depending on the model chosen. And in the same way we already know its characteristics.
The new models are compatible with Apple HomeKit as well as Amazon Alexa, but for now there is no mention of its compatibility with Google Assistant.
In addition, both can be connected to the IKEA Home Smart application as a method for control and configuration from the mobile, although we must have a TRÅDFRI hub. In front of the FÖRNUFTIG, the IKEA Home smart app therefore allows them to be integrated into the connected home.
Models that have a three-layer filtration system capable, according to the manufacturer, of capturing up to 99.5% of particles smaller than 2.5 microns. In this way they can clean the air we breathe of pollen and dust, as well as formaldehyde and bad odors. Gas filter to remove gases, fumes and odors is optional and purchased separately
Both can clean the air in rooms with about 20m2 and have five operating speeds. They integrate an automatic mode with a built-in air sensor that controls the fan speed. At maximum power they can purify 260m3 / h with the active particulate filter or 240m3 / h with particulate and gas filters. In both cases, the noise level announced by the manufacturer ranges between 24 and 53dB.
