Q: comparing this to the Mini, the specifics of the mini says Ozone -free, but this one does not say that. Could you please clarify?

A: Hi Jeanette, all of our devices use the same underlying PECO technology and none of them generate any ozone as a byproduct. The only differences between Air Mini and Air Mini+ are the particle sensor and Auto Protect mode that Air Mini+ comes with. All Molekule air purifiers are ozone-free.

Q: Why so expensive? What is the breakdown of costs for this particular product? It too $ 0.03 to make the molded shell (Plastic) which is predominately the whole product, ItI want to know the costs to you , I'll tell you. Total of $8.67 to make this.

A: Based on my own research, the price is due to its innovative technology and effectiveness. Like dyson, no other brand has its technology. That tech requires a lot of research and money to create. Touching on the efficacy note, it seems to clean/purify the air better than HEPA filters.

Q: How often does the filter need to be replaced ?

A: Ever 6 months.

Q: Is this one to big for a 100 ft sq bedroom?

A: This unit looks like a size of a vase or small bucket of water. It is not that bulky but for a small place this is perfect and it really filters the air.

Q: How often does the UV light source need to be replaced? What type of bulb is it?

A: LED emmitments break down after 13 months, so five years is a lie for accurancy, it will work, but to no power it had from first plugged in.

Q: Do you have to use the phone app to control the Molekule - Air Mini+ - FDA-Cleared Air Purifier, or are there also manual controls to turn off/on and regulate speed ?

A: No, the Molekule App is not required to control the Air Mini+. However, we encourage all our users to download and pair the app to ensure the device is up to date.

Sleek design + Exceptionally user-friendly
By adding a Molekule Air Mini+ to our main living space, we’ve been able to reduce the amount of pet dander floating around in the air along with reducing pollen and pollutants. The Mini+ has a sleek neutral colored design that easily blends in to our home decor. The device itself connects to WiFi and is controlled from an exceptionally user friendly app on my phone that keeps me updated on our home’s air quality. I can adjust the air purification strength as needed to improve the air after having the windows open, blowing out candles, (or burning something on the stove. EEK!). The fur babies and I are both breathing easier by having the Molekule Air Mini+ around.

It does its job well. Rated for 250 sq ft room.
This is my first time owning an air purifier unit. I decided to get one because I’m tired of smelling the cat’s litter box, which happens to be located in my bedroom. I’ve lived with the smell for years and finally decided to try one out. So far, this purifier is making a difference. The room doesn’t smell anymore and there’s less dust in the air. The difference is noticeable. This unit has many pros and a few cons. The largest pro in my opinion is this particular model, the Air Mini+, has the ability to detect the amount of particles in the air and will adjust it’s filtration strength and fan speed based on the amount of pollutants in the room. I set up the air purifier between the litter box and my bed and every time the cats go restroom and kick up a lot of liter and dust, the unit detects it and increases its fan speed to suck more of the dirty air into the unit. There is a 4-level indicator scale, represented in different colors by an LED light on top of the unit, that shows you how much debris is in the air. When the air is clear/clean, the LED is green; when it detects a higher level of particles, it’s yellow, and so on. For the most part it runs at the lowest speed (green) but will adjust itself and change the different levels when necessary. For example, I was cooking in the kitchen and setoff a lot of smoke from cooking greasy food, and once that smoke made it’s way into the bedroom, the unit went into overdrive. I think this was the only time it may have reached the highest/dirtiest level. Of course, it was running close to full speed, but it did adjust itself back down when the air was cleaner. In terms of how much noise this unit makes, it’s like a low hum when it’s at its lowest speed. It really doesn’t get too noisy, in my opinion, until it reaches level 3. However, what’s noisy for me may be okay for you, and vice-versa. Unfortunately, I didn’t have an easy time connecting the unit to my home Wi-Fi. The physical setup was easy, but the unit failed to flash the while Wi-Fi indictor light on top of the unit after plugging it in. According to the instructions, once the while light begins flashing, you can begin the pairing process within the Molekule app. I was never able to follow the standard steps in the instruction manual. It took a lot of syncing attempts, along with power cycling the air purifier unit (as suggested by the app) to finally get a successful sync. Hopefully, this process can be improved either through an update to the app or unit in future releases. This is the main reason why this product lost a star. I was a little disappointed on how difficult it was to add the unit to my network and get the app to recognize and connect to the filter. However, once everything was connected, the app has been reliable, and it’s never lost communication with the unit. I like how I can adjust the fan speed from my phone, or simply switch it to Auto Protect mode (particle sensor). Another con is the inability to turn off the color indicator light that sits at the top of the unit. This is the same light that changes color when the unit detects a change in air quality. The light does stop glowing five or so seconds after it changes color, but it turns on every time it changes color. This happens throughout the night and I can see how this can become an issue for some. Fortunately, this doesn’t bother me or my wife. It would also be useful if the app displayed a history of when the unit changed cleaning levels. This is less of a con and more of a wish-list item, but it would be nice to know the different times the unit detected bad air quality and when and how long it adjusted itself to filter the air in those instances. Regarding the cost of this unit. It seems to be slightly higher than comparable products. My guess is due to the type of technology utilized within this unit. While most air purifiers use HEPA filters, this unit uses a PECO filter (photo electro chemical oxidation). Essentially, in addition to a mechanical filter, the unit combines UV lighting to breakdown pollutants at a molecular level. The PECO filter itself is the company’s proprietary technology, but it’s based on a technology known as PCO (photocatalytic oxidation), which has been in use for decades to clean contaminated air and water. Even though this special filtration wasn’t the primary reason I choose this unit, it may be important to individuals looking to have a higher level of filtration, and therefore cleaner air circulating inside their home. But keep in mind, each model is rated for a specific square footage. This particular unit (Air Mini+) is rated for a room no larger than 250 square feet. In my case, this was the perfect size for my master bedroom. Overall, I’m happy with this unit. And I’m glad I decided to finally get an air purifier for my room.

WOW Very Impressed
Wow I have always been very skeptical about this type of thing like air purifier thinking they were a gimmick, guess what I was wrong. I have been using this Air Mini+ for the past few days and honestly I have been amazed. I sleep with a ceiling fan on all night plus the AC, I usually wake up a little stuffy in the morning. Somehow after I start using this Air Mini+ I have been able to sleep better and I wake up normal, not stuffy anymore. I am very impressed and after using this thing has changed my perception completely about air purifiers. The item arrived in a nice brown box with white writings on the outside which honestly looks pretty nice. In the box you have the Molekule Air Mini+, Filer, carrying case, manual and instructions. The Item itself looks sleek and very modern and because of it’s small form factor you can actually put it on a night table and would not look bad at all. This specific one is very light and easy to carry due to the attached leather handle. On the top surface the center is an actual touch sensitive button, there you can adjust the speed and reset the device. Also on the top surface you have several display items such as speed level, WIFI icon, Filer status and the active mode. To make the most out of this Air purifier you will need to pair it with the Molekule app, which took me several tries to get it to pair. Once you have it paired with the app you can control your device even away from home. The app will tell you how bad the particles levels are in the air in 4 different levels, Good, Moderate, Bad and Very Bad, you can also adjust the speed and put the device on standby. In my situation my bedroom was moderate after 2 days continuously running it changed to Good. If the air quality has changed in the room the device itself would notify you by turning the center light to the particle level color. In the lower fan speed setting this device is very quiet and hardly noticeable, but at higher speed specially at highest is loud. I have kept this either in active mode that automatically adjusts the speed or level 1 and the noise level has been minimal. If you pay good attention in the dark you will notice the subtle purple light, that light is what helps to kill bacteria. Replacing the filter is also a breeze, just turn the cover counter clockwise, lift and replace your filter. Another thing I really liked about it is the cable management. You can coil the cable in the bottom section of the device and just use what you need very clever. Overall I am very impressed with this Air Purifier and honestly I don't think I would ever stop using it from now on, you will notice the difference in the air just after letting it run for a few minutes. This thing not only looks pretty and modern but it also does what it claims to do from my experience.
