Molekule Air features 360-degree air intake that replaces the air in a 600-square-foot room. The device uses two filters. The Pre-Filter captures larger particles like dust and pet hair. The PECO-Filter, coated with a proprietary light-activated catalyst, breaks down VOCs, bacteria, mold, viruses, allergens, and other pollutants at a molecular level. Molekule Air then releases clean air evenly across the entire room.

Made for larger rooms: Powerful enough to replace the air in a 600-square-foot room.
PECO-powered: Breakthrough PECO technology doesn’t just collect pollutants, it destroys them.
Ready to purify: Comes with 6 months of filters.
Whisper quiet: With a 30-decibel Silent Mode, Molekule Air is sonically unobtrusive.
Energy efficient: Molekule Air uses low energy, so let it run 24/7 to maintain fresh air.
Ozone-free: Not only does Molekule Air not emit ozone, it destroys it.
App-enabled: Silent. Auto. Boost. Change your device’s fan speed from your app, wherever you are.
Destroys coronavirus strains: Molekule's PECO technology destroys coronavirus strains (bovine & porcine) & H1N1 flu virus, as shown by 3rd party testing. Air purifiers can provide an added layer of protection to help reduce potential viral exposure. Molekle has not been tested on the Covid-19 virus.

Q: Please explain the very mixed reviews of the air purifier and it’s slow cleaning compared to other cheaper models with hepa and carbon filters? A lab.controlled setting is not the same as a home.

A: Hi AJ, that's a great question, and we agree that a controlled setting is not the same as a home. While each home is different, we recommend placing the unit in a centralized location to where you spend most of your time. Compared to other air purifiers that rely strictly on mechanical filtration, these models require higher fan speeds to circulate the air. Since our PECO technology not only filters but also destroys pollutants, the standards of particle capture may not reflect the efficacy of our products. Our units are designed to change the air at least once per hour at the recommended room sizes, though some of our products change the air more than once per hour.

Q: Where ( which country) is it manufactured?

A: We manufacture globally including parts made in the US, Malaysia, and China.

Q: How loud is this machine? L

A: Hello L, It's a little louder then a running full size refrigerator and quitter than a box fan on low speed. I sleep with mine in my bedroom.

Q: I bought one just over a year ago but somehow I threw away the box that had the manual and cover inside. Can I get a replacement manual at least I have no idea how to change the filters which obviously are long overdue to be replaced.

A: If you have a Molekule model push down on the top and rotate the inner lid counterclockwise to open the device. Lift the lid to pull out of the device. Then the filter pops off. Also mine has a second filter in the base that simply slides out.

Q: Does this system produce ozone or use ozone technology?

A: PECO Technology does not produce ozone. In fact, PECO can reduce ozone. Visit our website for more info!

Q: Is there a night mode so that lights on top can be turned off for sleeping?

A: yes, there is a night mode. due to the nature of the technology used in the purifier, it will not function as well as normal. this is because the PECO filter the device uses requires the use of light to eradicate particles.

Q: Does this unit clean mold sports from the air?

A: Hello! Our PECO technology has been shown to be capable of destroying allergens, mold, bacteria, VOCs, and viruses. Airborne mold spores are safely oxidized by the PECO process as they pass through the device.

Q: Can the Molekule - Air 600 sq. ft. Air Purifier be used without using the computer app?

A: Yes, you don't have to use the app. it has a button on top of the unit and you can change the settings manually. You swipe from left to right to change between 4 areas. It has very simple controls. The web site also has Support area and they will answer questions.

Molecule Experience in almost 3 months
I received this Molecule device as a gift in February. I was hesitant at first after pulling it from the box. I was surprised to see the beautiful technology of how this device was made. The handle is made with fine grained leather making it easy as a carry-on anywhere. The color is awesome, a beautiful steel Gray that will enhance any area in your residence. Instructions were very simple, weight a little heavy, the setting on the machine was very simple to follow and select. I noticed that IF you accidentally unplug it l, it will notify you that you removed it and allow you to continue with the same setting. I chose silent setting and it does have auto and boost. I run it continuously for the BEST PERFORMANCE EVER! WHEN YOU FIRST PLUG IT IN, YOU MUST RUN IT TO CONDUCT AN INITIAL CLEAN. ++DO NOT BE ALARM** THE SMELL WILL DISSIPATE AND RELEASE THE INITIAL CLEAN IN 28 TO 48 HOURS. I'm using it in a bedroom that has millions of tiny particles that falls from the popcorn ceiling. ..What congestion this has been that caused itching in the eyes and lung problem when breathing. The Molekule filters, out ALL of the minute particles that falls consistently by destroying all the bacteria and dust. It such as dust mites, other burnt food smell, nail polish remover and many more. A closet door were recently painted and the fumes were so strong, that in 4 days the smell was gone by this machine. It does just what it says, it's an excellent device I would recommend it to anyone who has asthma, allergens, breathing problems, lupus, or any other lungs problems. The air is crisp, and it's an unbelievable product that is so amazing.. you can tell a GREAT BIG DIFFERENCE from the outside air and when coming into your bedroom that the AIR you inhale and breathe from the Molecule Air is an AMAZING DEVICE. It filters any viruses, and pollen It traps black mold on the PECO-FILTER. The 3 various controls are a PLUS. That gives you an option to control these setting on your cell phone, using WiFi. The filters comes with the machine and **Never turn it off if you want an outstanding quality of fresh crisp air. I'm hooked and do not have to worry about replacing the filter every 3 months from the other purifier that I just gave it's energy efficient and extends up to 600 ft. The filter has to be replace once a year.

Looks Beautiful, Sounds Great and Works
I'm just going to start this review with what matters most, does this thing work? Simple answer is yes. I've now had this Molekule Air for almost a week and it's been running non-stop since the moment I got it. My wife was especially excited as she has mild asthma along with the typical allergies. So she's been wanting to get this air purifier for some time now after hearing about it. We also have 2 big dogs in a smaller 1500 square foot home. First thing we did was put it in the main living area which pushes the 600 s.f. area limit this is supposed to handle. Set it on boost mode and let it run for a couple hours before setting it to auto mode. When run in boost, you can definitely notice a difference in the air fairly quickly. Once it's been going for a bit and is running normally though, it's not as easy to tell a difference. Being stuck in a home though you get used to your surroundings which makes it tougher. We knew the real test would be when we got a chance to leave the house for a while and come back, as it's when we come back that we normally could tell how bad the air in the house was. First time we got that chance, we were excited to see what we'd come home to. And upon first opening the door, we could instantly tell the difference. With 2 big dogs, that air can hit you like a brick, but this time it didn't. And yes, we regularly bathe and groom our dogs, but it's also a small house. We've also moved it around into different rooms, rooms that were only 100-200 square feet, to see how it handled smaller areas. It definitely made a noticeable difference in a really short time, especially when running in boost mode. The room that is my office I could tell a difference in probably 10 minutes. Although this unit is probably overkill for a smaller room, its nice to be able to move it around easily to run a quick cycle and move it out.. Now onto some of the other features. The design and handle strap is perfect. This unit isn't exactly light, but the tall narrow shape with the handle makes it really easy to pick up and move around. MUCH easier than other air purifiers we've had before. And it's easily the best looking out of all the purifiers. And speaking of construction, everything about this is high quality, even down to the soft power cord. Nothing about it feels cheap, which is good because it's definitely on the pricier side for air purifiers. Setting it up is a breeze as well. With the app downloaded we were able to get it connected to the home wifi network within minutes at which point it already started downloading and installing the latest update. The small touchscreen on the top of the unit is probably one of the most clear screens I've ever seen. This seems like a small and simple thing that doesn't really matter, but the clarity of the options and writing on this screen is amazing, yet still simple and easy to use. As far as sound goes, Boost mode is pretty loud, and you definitely feel that relief when you turn it off. Normal mode is about as loud as a small house fan, but smoother if that makes sense. Nothing unbearable and it's running just a mere 5 feet away from us and doesn't interfere at all while watching TV. Then there's silent mode, which is about as unobtrusive as you can get. There is one thing I find really cool about the sound that I love and that is when you start it up. It sounds like a jet engine spinning up! I honestly don't really have any negatives about this air purifier, other than the high price, but you also get what you pay for. It's tough to judge how well it does what it says it does because it's dealing with microscopic organisms. As we all know, we can't see viruses, and can't smell them. I did my research though, and the science behind this air purifier looks to be sound, and at the very least, I for sure have more peace of mind sitting in my home with it running. And as far as allergies, I haven't suffered them while in the same room with it running, which seems like solid proof that it works. One last thing, it also comes in a nice storage bag. Although not sure when you would ever want to store it and not use it.
