Features:
-
- All-metal, buy-it-for-life construction.
- Quietly and efficiently removes dust, smoke, allergens, bacteria, mold, and viruses from the air.
-
All parts included- our own custom-made high-pressure 140mm fans, fan and filter grills, 12 V power supply with five-meter cable, PWM speed controller, wiring harness, and cable management parts- just add two filters.
- Uses standard, low-cost, non-proprietary, 20x25x1 MERV 13 furnace filters, available through Amazon and most home supply and hardware stores.
-
Low profile- made to look just like a tower PC.
-
No app, no cloud, no "smart" anything- everything is lifetime repairable or easily replaceable with just a screwdriver.
- Uses standard, easily replaceable PC hardware- screws, cables, 140mm fans, grills, etc.
- Includes an optional wall & ceiling mount with anchors.
-
VESA mounting holes.
- Color match any decor: paint, strip, prime, repaint as many times as you like. Also inexpensively done by most auto body shops.
- Great family STEM project for all ages- just like assembling a PC enclosure (but no sharp edges).
- 12 V DC input, ultra-low power consumption- perfect for off-grid and solar applications.
- Independent lab measured CADR is 222 CFM at 37dBA (PDF), HouseFresh measurement was somewhat less- their review coming soon. (Please remember when comparing to the max CADR to other air purifiers to check what it is under 40dBA- not at an intolerable noise level you'll never use). If you want higher CADR (with higher sound levels and cost, but still below most commercial air purifiers), you can use Arctic P14 PWM fans and get 248-299 CFM.
- Quiet- 39dBA on max power. One of the best noise-to-CADR ratios of any air purifier available.
- All-metal, buy-it-for-life construction.
Air changes & infection-risk drop for your room
CADR 222 CFM · lab measuredEnter your room size to see how many times per hour the Tempest Pro filters all the air in it (ACH), and the estimated drop in airborne infection risk.
Enter your room size
We'll show how well the Tempest Pro covers this space.
ACH = clean air delivered per hour ÷ room volume, based on the independently lab-measured 222 CFM CADR @ 37 dBA. The U.S. CDC recommends targeting at least 5 air changes per hour in occupied indoor spaces,1 while Harvard's Healthy Buildings program advises 4–6 ACH for classrooms and shared rooms.2 The infection-risk figure is a relative estimate for long-range, well-mixed airborne transmission only (Wells–Riley / Rudnick & Milton3); it is not an absolute chance of infection and ignores close-range exposure. Real-world results vary with ceiling height, layout, and door/window sealing.

- 2. Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Healthy Buildings Program — schools ventilation guidance (4–6 ACH).

Wall/Ceiling Mount
High CADR/low noise air purifiers like the Tempest Pro require a large filter surface area and so have a relatively large enclosure. Floor space is often at a premium, or you may just want to keep the Tempest Pro out of reach. The included metal bracket, screws, and anchors make wall and ceiling mounting a breeze- and filters can still be easily swapped without removing the unit from its mounting point.
The Tempest Pro wall & ceiling mount installs easily, exactly like a TV wall mount:
If you have concerns about any reduced effectiveness of the Tempest Pro due to placement, we have done Computational Fluid Dynamic modeling that shows air purifier room placement makes only a negligible difference in effectiveness:
VESA Mount
The Tempest Pro's wall& ceiling bracket features VESA mounting holes, allowing for attachment to a wide variety of fixtures and mounts.
Up to eight units can be placed back-to-back on a single Autopole with appropriate hardware (2).
This, combined with the Tempest Pro's high CADR, robust construction, and convenient carrying handle, makes it ideal for use at events and on-location.

Huge thanks to Zack Deis for contributing his design, which we have continued to iterate on.
Let customers speak for us
It's fantastic, buy it for life. Be careful when attaching the fans, I had to reorient them twice to get the daisy chaining to work but that is user error, the instructions are clear. I used magnets to mount it on top of my home server rack and I bought a USB-C to 5.5 x 2.5mm 12 volt cable so I can power it from any USB-C PD source. The edges of the mesh prefilter were getting caught when inserting the prefilter and attaching the top cover so I covered the edges with washi tape and now they behave properly and don't get caught.
Thank you and bravo to Naomi and team.
Excellent purifier, easy to built even with zero building skills.
As a person living in France, having the opportunity to buy cheap filters at IKEA is a huge advantage.
I currently own 4 Nukits because I liked my first one so much I immediately decided we needed one in every room. There so much quieter and less obtrusive than commercial air purifiers which tend to be weirdly rounded, heavy, and take up lots of space compared to their size. With their practical shape, the Nukits tuck away neatly into corners, as long as you position them so the sides have some room of course. They’re also not an eye sore, which I do value.
They’re fairly quiet, and I don’t usually run them on full speed. They run permanently, though, and they’re never heard on calls during meetings nor do they bother us at night. And with the speed controllers, it’s easy to vary speed as necessary. Most importantly, they work. I have MCAS and have been struggling with mold spores as we live in a humid but warm region. Since getting these, I’ve been feeling much better. And the ability to turn them up when I work out in my room has helped a bunch too.
If I could change one thing, I would ask for a list of components to be included in the package, so you can check right away if you have everything. It would also be helpful if you’re not experienced with building PCs—I had no idea what everything was called and what it would look like. So I struggled a bit building my first Nukit and it took me a while to figure out that the four-way converter cable hadn’t made it into my package. When I reached out to Nukit they helped me figure out the problem, apologised, and offered to refund me if I purchased a converter myself. I appreciated the helpfulness. However, I think I could have figured it out much faster if there had been a list of components/items.
With 4 Nukits, I like to joke that we’re 1 more short of the Nukits On The Block ;)
I don't know how to evaluate the effectiveness of the light (I trust them), but the occupancy sensor is so good I wondered if it was broken. Always triggered faster than I could move to see it turn on. Family was making fun of me because I got out a mirror to make sure it was turning off after everyone left.
After I set it up, it was so quiet my wife asked if I had turned it on (while on 60% fan speed).
I loved the ease of assembly and the clear instructions. It's clear that the folks at Nukit spent a good deal trying to make this as easy and as accessible as possible. Great job!
I am very impressed with the Tempest Pro. I was a little intimidated by the building process at first but it was pretty straightforward once I got started.
I can't believe just how quiet it is. I regularly have to check that it is still turned on/up because I can't hear it! It can run on full speed without the noise interfering with everyday life.
I would highly recommend it and hope to get another in future.
I really like it, i would never convince myself to create it so buying it was way to go and i don't regret it.
you buy two ikea filters and 4 cheap fans, add esp, wire it and ready to go in your home assistant. on 20% unaudible.
A well designed, well made, and complete filter kit. Very quiet and with great performance. The unit comes very well packaged for safe shipment. I've been looking for a great filer kit for some time and this is it. Everything you need is supplied except the filters. Assembly was easy and enjoyable too. Just be sure to read over all available information carefully and take your time, as there are a few options regarding speed control placement (I used the internal mounting with external knob option). Highly recommended!
I am very happy with this lantern.
Would like to order two more.
I own 8 NuKit Lanterns and currently have them all strategically deployed at a 3-week professional gathering. Love the design, portability, quality, ease of use, value, and the peace of mind they add, along with the 4 NuKit Tempests I also love and have deployed as well as part of a multi-layered strategy that also involves testing and other precautions.. Thanks so much to Naomi for creating these vital products to help keep us safe as we work to help others in these COVID-infested times.
I don't know what we would do to keep safe from Covid and other airborne infections without Nukit/ Naomi Wu. Thank you for all you do.
As always, from concept to development to packaging, instructions, and follow up, Nukit cannot be outdone. I received 2 black Lanterns quickly, and everything was perfectly prepared for installation. I am so grateful to have these and hope that Cybernight Market can continue to lead and innovate. Thank you!
Purchased mine about a month ago and I love it. Feels really solid, not afraid my children might break it, which would be a concern with CR box models sold by other companies. Mine came with a speed controller and remote, which was a surprise to me as the website didn't mention them. Maybe I got them by mistake? Overall great product. Came very well packaged with lots of foam cut outs to protect the parts. Really nothing negative to say about it, Nukit did a really great job on this.
