Look no further, the Molekule Air Pro is here to cleanse your home’s air. I cook a lot and the smells from cooking linger for a while and sometimes the stench isn’t too pleasant. The Air Pro has helped get rid of this cooking smell with their innovative PECO-Filter which breaks down pollutants in your home at the molecular level, such as bacteria, mold, viruses, and allergens. After using the Air Pro for a couple of days, I can confidently say this Air Purifier works like a charm! As my first air purifier, I am very content with the usage so far.
=====================================================================================
IN THE BOX/SET-UP:
First off, the air pro is heavy. The whole unit is approximately 23lbs., which tells you how much tech is built into this device. The Air Pro came with a carrying bag(pictured below), and the PECO-Filter was inside the air pro but wrapped. The set-up is straightforward and doesn’t take long. You will need to push down and rotate counterclockwise on the center core to access the filter. Upon doing this, you will need to take the filter out of the bag and simply place it in the Air Pro. Then, align the lid with the red mark inside the Air Pro, push down and turn clockwise. There you have it! You can plug it into an outlet and start running the air purifier. If you want more information about the particle level and the ability to manually control the fan speed, all that can be done through the Molekule app.

USAGE/FEATURES:
I have been using the Air Pro for a couple of days now and am completely satisfied with the usage so far. The air inside my living room has never smelled so pure. Although, there was a strange smell coming out of the Air Pro that went away after 36 hours. The smell is supposed to emit from the air pro but Molekule assured that the smell would go away after a while.
The tiny touch screen on top of the air pro shows various items. The current status of your Air Pro. The PM(particulate matter) sensor level. The air pro is designed to detect three different size ranges of particles. The light on top of the Air Pro plays a factor in detecting these particles. The sensors let you know how much of these particles are in your air using a color scale. Green = good. Blue = very bad. Excellent technology by the Molekule team!
There are two auto-protect fan modes: Standard and Quiet. There is also manual mode which you will be able to cycle between 6 fan speeds. Caution, the fan gets loud at the highest setting. The PECO-Filter Status lets you know when you need to replace the filters. And finally, a couple of settings for the Air Pro.
I previously mentioned that I do a lot of cooking and wow, the smells quickly dissipate once I am finished with my cooking. When I am away for a while and come back home, the smell of fresh air hits me like a brick, that’s when I know the Air Pro is running correctly!
The technology in the Air Pro is amazing. It’s astounding what technology can now do at the microscopic level these days. If you want to read about it yourself. Visit the following page:

APP/MAINTENANCE:
I have the Molekule app for Android so it may be different for IOS users. As of November 2020, the app is a little buggy at times where sometimes I cannot connect to the Air Pro and get stuck in the endless cycle of trying to reconnect to my Wi-Fi. The app is somewhat new and understandably will have a couple of bugs. Hopefully, the developers will be able to address the issue quickly. Honestly, you can’t do much with the app. The only useful features is the ability to control the fan speed, view the status of particle levels, and the status of the PECO-Filter which all can be done with the touch screen on the unit. I don’t see the app being useful in the long run, unfortunately. Hopefully, there will be more features added in the future.
Maintenance for the Air Pro is expensive. The Air Pro is expensive in itself but replacing the PECO-Filter is another story. According to Molekule, the filter lasts about 6 months. To replace the filter costs $150. Or you can sign up for auto-refills which costs $99 every 6 months. You’re either paying 200 or 300 dollars a year for maintenance. Expensive but may be worth it for the fresh air quality year-round.

CONCLUSION:
Overall, congrats to the Molekule team for creating an innovative and beautiful Air Purifier. I am amazed at how wonderful the Air Pro works. I never gave much thought to how polluted the air inside my home was before obtaining the Air Pro. With this running, I can confidently say there is a major change in air quality inside my home. The Air Pro and maintenance costs are a bit expensive but If you are looking for better air quality inside your home, I cannot recommend this enough.
