When I think of IKEA, I think of flat-pack furniture and meatballs. And while I admittedly love both of those things (ideally with lashings of gravy on the latter), there’s rarely been anything at IKEA for me - Ideal Home’s air quality expert - to sink my teeth into. But then I learned that the IKEA UPPÅTVIND Air Purifier exists, and I knew I had to give it a whirl.
After all, it’s my job to test the best air purifiers - and I have to admit that I’m the ideal candidate for these handy appliances as I’m a pet parent, hay fever sufferer and the owner of a very dusty house. However, it’s very rare to find an air purifier under £100, let alone under £30, so I was intrigued to see how such a budget model would fare in my home. My verdict? It’s cheap, cheerful, and surprisingly effective.
