The Ikea filters I used are FÖRNUFTIG (EPA12 + carbon) and the more affordable UPPÅTVIND (EPA only)
If you get a HEPA filter e.g. from Amazon, I'd recommend buying a reputable brand to make sure you actually get what you're paying for. Philips is trustworthy and seems to have reasonably priced replacement filters (important as you'll be swapping them multiple times a year): https://go.toms3d.org/HEPAmazon

2.4" LCD https://go.toms3d.org/24lcd
PMS5003S particle + formaldehyde sensor https://go.toms3d.org/PMS5003S (make sure you actually get the "S" variant if you want the formaldehyde sensor - they're a bit hard to find)
SDS011 particle sensor https://go.toms3d.org/SDS011
Bosch BME680 VOC, temperature and humidity sensor https://go.toms3d.org/bme680
ScioSense ENS160 VOC sensor https://go.toms3d.org/ENS160

I also used an SHT40 temperature and humidity sensor in the front, but it is noticeably inaccurate. I'm currently trying a AHT21 as a replacement.
