I read a wired review [0] that says the ikea purifier "blocks 99.95 percent of particles 2.5 microns or larger".

Could you confirm the technical spec of the filters you are using? Actual rating? Is it actually HEPA?

The ikea website seems to just be pretty vague marketing stuff with no details.

You can read more details after you click "Product details". It says that the filter corresponds to EPA12 class, so no HEPA.

> The particle filter is tested according to EN 1822-1 and ISO 29463-3 which corresponds to class EPA12.
