Molekule - Air - Pollutant-Destroying Air Purifier - 600 sq. ft. - Silver

I've never owned such a fancy air filter. The unit comes packed really well, comes with a really nice storage bag, an extra pre-filter (one was already installed), and a power cord. The quick setup guide is pretty straight forward, and the Molekule was plugged in and working fairly quickly. The aluminum body looks clean, the power plug fits flush to the bottom of the unit, and the handle makes it easy to move around. The app installed quickly from the App Store (on iOS), and account creation was really straightforward, making setup a breeze! Within a few minutes, the air filter was set to auto, and starting to clean the air. Having three small dogs, pet dander is constantly reminding me of it's presence, and within less than half a day this got rid of every smell in the air. I mean the air was SUPER clean. I can't describe it accurately, but can say that going from another competitor, with expensive hepa filters that come with carbon pre-filters and UV lighting, this one easily shot over it. The app also makes it super easy to auto refill filters, and with auto replenish, is far cheaper to run. The fan is really quite, even in boost compared to my other air filter; which sounded like a window AC unit coming on high. The app also makes it easy to program schedules to have the light turn off, ensuring you're not being kept up with a blue hue while you're trying to fall asleep. The filters are also super easy to get to. One small twist of the top assembly, and this thing opens up like a science fiction time bomb. It just slides up, and reveals the inner cavity where both filters can easily be replaced. The included storage bag can be used to store the filter when not in use; although I love this thing so much it will never be in it. The touch sensitive screen on the top makes it easy to switch modes, if you're not into the app use, and it's just bright enough to use (it's not going to blind you in the dark). I will say, compared to my last smart air filter, the Molekule app is simple and designed really well for a minimalist like me. Once you setup the unit, you'll find simple "Silent, Auto, and Boost" modes select-able, along with the status of the two filters. The blue light coming from the top of the unit isn't distracting, and when the lights are off, is really not as bright was I was expecting. If you want to have the light turned off, simply enable "Dark mode" in the app. It even allows you to decide what days and what time to turn off the light. Simply select the days, set the start time, and then the duration; which can be as low as 1 minute, or as long as 23 hours and 59 minutes. The app will remind you that by turning it off, you're turning off a key part of the filter. For my use, I just left it on, as it wasn't distracting enough for me at night. The design of this is about as tall as many other standing air filters, while looking much more attractive, and working much more effectively. The only other unit I can compare this to, is in the $1500 - $2000 range, but is a lot quieter. I really can speak highly enough of this. For my use, this was in a 400 sq foot bedroom, and rarely needed to put itself into any "Boost" mode once it did it's initial air clean. Overnight, the fan was never loud, so you don't need to worry about waking up to a loud air filter. If you're looking to save a bit of money on the replacement filters, I'd highly recommend using the auto-refill option in the app; otherwise, you may find that you'll be spending a bit more buying them one at a time. Overall, I can't speak highly enough of the Molekule. The air quality is much better since I've started using it (within an hour of install) compared to my other systems, auto filter refill options (subscription), and the ease of the app make this an easy recommendation.

First off right out of the box this is a very modern and contemporary looking air filter. I have had an air purifier in the past before this, and it looked more utilitarian. Molekule did an excellent job at making the aesthetics of this unit look excellent. It is ready to be placed into any room of your choice regardless of your home/office decor. It will garner a lot of attention from guests in your home/office because it catches your attention. My spouse commented that it looks like a special machine from the future, and it really does have that stunning look to it. I'm a big proponent of purifying the air in my home due to allergies and health issues. I have been pleased with using this machine for the past week. The air seems cleaner and makes breathing for my family a lot better. Seasonal allergies and dust have been an issue for us and keeping this going while we are relaxing and sleeping has helped us all. Relief for itchy eyes and sneezing going on, so I attribute it to this Molekule Air. Another aspect of this I'm thankful for is that it has PECO technology to help kill any airborne virus. Not sure if it will help in any aspect of destroying the coronavirus germs, but I'm feeling more confident with running this all the time during our pandemic of 2020. During our cold/flu season and with the germs we bring home from work and school, I'm sure this will help to keep our in home air cleaner. The machine is very innovative and easy to use right from the start. Downloaded the Molekule app from the App store and had it up and running on my iPhone XR within minutes. Paired the Molekule Air to my phone and had it set up based on the size of my particular room setting. Easy to operate from the touch screen on the top of the machine and from the app as well. The machine operates in Silent (which is whisper quiet), Auto (which is just a low hum of a noise), and Boost (this is louder and drawing in more airflow). The inside blue/purple light can be turned on or off, which proves to be helpful if you're running this while you're sleeping overnight. The handle is well made and holds the unit well while I'm carrying it from room to room, so I never feel like I'm having to hold it awkwardly. The filters are easy to replace and access, as they're hidden away very well internally. It weighs close to 20 pounds so it's a solid well built machine. Overall I really like this and am pleased with the air quality in my home. Suffering less from allergy related issues. If I'm making a health investment in myself and my family, I feel it's worth the cost of this machine. PRO: Better air quality Improve health issues Excellent styling Easy app usability CON: Ongoing cost of replacing filters

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.

Great air filter. It's a little heavy, however it has a great and comfy carrying handle (seems made of leather or leatherette). It was easy to unpack and setup. You have to download their Molekule app (android or ios). From there, all that had to be done was plug it in power, load the app and allow permission to use bluetooth, from there, it detects the filter and asks your wifi info so it can connect to the internet. From there, it upgraded itself (a new firmware) and asks you the size of the room it is and according to it sets its speed. It came with a Peco filter and a pre filter already installed (they include a pre filter in the box to get you to the 6 months mark, once you hit the six month mark or so, depending of how much you use it and how polluted is your area, you must replace the PECO filter and the pre filter). Its difficult to measure just by "feeling" if its really providing better air quality, but one thing I can share, is it has definitely improved my night sleeping. I sleep with my door and windows closed and you can feel how "heavy" the air is in the morning, with the filter, not at all, my sleeping has improved and the air in my bedroom feels way better! It's highly customizable, you can set a "silent" mode for night and believe me, its very silent. I'm a light sleeper and doesn't bother me. The light is obtrusive too, it just points to the ceiling (there is a "dark" mode in the app, however is very hidden, as that would seriously dampen the filter abilities, as it depends on its light for maximum filtration). CONS: -There was a little bit of "new plastic" smell the first couple of days, but its expected (they even say so in the manual) and went away quickly, no big deal. -The replacements are a little expensive (around $130), but then again, its a once every 6 months investment. You can either buy them manually or if you sign up, since the filter is internet connected, it can auto reorder them for you. PROS: +Excellent filtration (seriously, read Molekules white papers, and independent papers about how a PECO filter works, it uses some sort of light to activate titanium or so in the filter, which is able to destroy bacteria, viruses etc). This is not your average UV filter, that's why the replacements may be a little more expensive. +Customization, you can put it anywhere in your house, it asks you what size room it is every time you unplug and move it and you can move it around your home. The app is great!

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.

Omgosh! Where to begin? This Molekule product was packaged exceptionally well. Opening the box and unwrapping the air purifier was almost like Christmas. It was sheathed in a cloth drawstring bag. Although the device was heavier, and taller, than I thought it would be, that just speaks to the Molekule Air being a well-made, quality machine. And in my opinion, it is. There is a companion app, of course. It’s pretty basic, but does what it is designed for. The device was super simple to set up. Within 5 minutes the Molekule was running through it’s first cleaning cycle. And from there on, I became a believer. I really can sense, and smell, the difference in my home. Instead of the air seeming to be stagnant and stale, the room environment I have the Molekule placed in, feels fresh and clean. One of the main things I found exceptional about the Molekule Air, is that it doesn’t just capture and collect air pollutants, it breaks down and destroys them by means of the PECO-Filter and UV-A light working in conjunction with one another. When they say ‘Silent’ mode, they mean it. ‘Auto’ is what I will primarily have the Molekule Air set on, for 24/7 continuous everyday cleaning (and it only uses approximately the same amount of energy as a 35w lightbulb). You do hear the machine working on Auto mode, but I wouldn’t consider it to be “loud.” ‘Boost’ mode will come in handy, for the suggested uses mentioned in the included user guide, such as after dusting or home cleaning involving chemicals. I more than likely won’t be using ‘Dark mode’ as I happen to like the peaceful, relaxing blue light. But there is that option for people who may be light-sensitive. In Dark mode the UV-light feature is off, so pollutants aren’t being eliminated, merely captured. Changing the filters is simple and easy. And the company offers the option of auto-refill delivery for when the filters need to be switched out. I’ll probably be signing up for that. This Molekule Air is an impressive machine. Not only does it perform admirably, it looks amazing too. Very sleek and modern, yet at the same time, unobtrusive wherever you may choose to place it in your home. Although seeming a bit costly, in comparison to other brands of air purifiers out there in the market, it’s a fair price for the quality and performance this Molekule brings. I highly, highly recommend!

Definitely a high quality filter but be prepared for the annual expenses of replacing the filters. Setup out the box, connected to the app, and configured took maybe 10 mins. It looks great sitting in the corner of our living room downstairs and even on the normal setting you can hardly even hear or notice it running. I have noticed a cleaner and fresher smell in the room where it is situated. Our living room is right off the kitchen as well so it helps to eliminate odors from cooking as well which is nice. We do not have pets but I could definitely see this being a great product to remove pet dander or dust created from having pets. Aside from the cost of replacement filters, which can be setup via the app to auto-ship and give you a little discount on them, it is a great product as long as you understand going into it that you will be replacing multiple filters a year based on the use within your home.

Best purchase I love it great products I will buy more
