Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Air purifier's ability to improve air quality and its generally quiet operation, while also appreciating its ease of use and attractive design. However, customers are negative about the high price of both the unit and replacement filters, and some experienced issues with the accompanying app and reported a noticeable odor during initial use. The size of the unit was also a point of contention for some users.

    I don’t feel that the fan is powerful enough to suck the dirty air in. I don’t care how advanced this machine is. If it doesn’t suck in the air it can’t do the job. Also the fancy touch button is too sensitive and it’s hard to control it. I know they it can connect to my phone but so many app users have angry reviews on it so I didn’t even bother to download it. It certainly isn’t the best air purifier for VOC’s as I can smell all the stuff in the air after cooking. I’m hoping it is good for bacteria and virus but there is no way to verify that. I’m just trusting what reviews say about PECO filters. But I’m not impressed. I think I like the True HEPA filters the best.

    Molekule is the best of the best. I have a dyson and a molekule and wondered if it would live up to the hype. I have severe allergies so purifiers are non-negotiables in our house. This one packs a punch. Worth every penny and results noticeable almost immediately.

    I purchased this when my state had a lot of wildfires and the air quality index was off the scale and hazardous. I feel so much safer with it constantly running in my 100 year old cottage, which could have better insulation as a defense against the toxins. It also makes me feel more at ease during this pandemic.

    Overall I’m satisfied with this air purifier. My biggest most frustrating issue is the WiFi connection. It often can’t find the WiFi and also drops it way to often. That’s the most frustrating part. Overall it my air quality seems better than it was before. I can’t be 100% sure.

    Very effective pollutant/air purifier. We purchased this item to our newly moved in apartment, as we had to re-do the floor and paint. Practically no smell after a few days after utilizing the Molekule Air Purifier.

    The pamphlet for this air filter specifically states that for the first 24-48 hours, the filter will output a plastic smell. However, after using this product consistently for two weeks, the smell never went away. For such an expensive product, I would expect better. Very disappointed as this is supposed to help filter out VOC’s, which is different than a regular air filter and was exactly what I needed.

      Posted .

      Indeed, our Molekule air purifiers work differently compared to products since PECO technology breaks VOCs into their basic molecular forms. Depending on the air space, it may take some time for the change in smell to dissipate. We recommend keeping a good airflow circulating the area by cracking or opening a window. If you continue to experience this problem, don't hesitate to contact us directly at [email protected].

    First and foremost I must say that I am no scientist and cannot test the veracity of the claims made by Molekule. So I have to take their claims of how much bacteria, viruses, allergens etc it removes from the air at face value. But I can speak to how it makes me perceive the air I breathe (although that's subjective), how the device works and set up. IN THE BOX AND SETUP As far as set up goes, for a "smart" product this is as easy as it comes. You pull the purifier out of the box, plug in the AC cord and off you go. The air filters come preinstalled. There's a touch sensitive screen on top of the unit that displays limited info, and where you can cycle through the three settings (silent, automatic and boost). THE APP I am generally loathe to downloading a single app for each and every smart device I have. It clutters my phone. But there's no Google Home integration (it's not necessary) so I wanted to see what it has to offer. The app was easy to find and download and it found my purifier in a few seconds. It downloaded a quick update and I was off and running. My big complaint with the app is that it's purpose seems to primarily be to sell you filters via subscription service. I appreciate the ability and convenience to do so, but it seems like the app is shoving it down your throat. Other than opting in a subscription service for filters, the app doesn't do much. You can control your device’s settings (silent boost or automatic) just like you can by touching the screen on top of the cylinder, but the biggest perk of the app is checking on, and getting notifications re, the quality of your filters. USE Like the setup, there’s not much to using the Molekule purifier. It’s essentially plug and play. There are some recommended uses and locations where it should be placed. It is recommended that it be placed as close to the center of a room as you can manage (or at least away from the wall) and it’s recommended that you put it in a bedroom to increase the quality of the air where you sleep. It has a nice and stylish leather handle that makes it easy to pick up and take to a different room. When you move it and plug it back in, it asks if you’ve moved it. There’s no room assignment in the app, but I suggest putting it in “boost” mode when placed in a new room. If you want to turn it off, for whatever reason, you simply touch the 2 inch circle sized screen on the top of the device and swipe over a couple of times to get the power button. This is where you can change the settings from silent, boost or automatic. You can also turn off the blue light that emanates from the top. Bottom line is ease of use is simple. Either through the app or the touchscreen controls on the device itself, it’s easy to use as there are very few settings (as there should be). MY EXPERIENCE As I said, I’m not scientist and have no way to quantify or test the accuracy of Molekule’s claims. So I will tell you how I use it, and how I perceive the change in air quality to affect me. I put the air purifier in my bedroom. I turned it on Boost mode (which runs for 15 minutes) which sounds like a loud jet engine. I recommend boost mode if you move it from room to room, but I wouldn’t want to be in the room while Boost mode is active. It’s just too loud. I plugged it into the wall socket, no extension cord and placed it as far away from the wall as I could given the length of the power cable. Having the purifier that far from the wall isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing, but I do think the Molekule air purifier is a handsome device so it doesn’t bother me too much. It’s been running for a few days now, so I might push it closer to the wall if I feel it gets in my way. I keep it running on automatic mode, and it’s been running constantly for days. I also left the blue light on (the top of the device is a circular vent and a blue light glows, a lot like a night light. It can be turned off through the touchscreen settings). Automatic mode produces noise akin to a white noise machine. Some people might like that (I do) others may not. You can put it in Silent mode at night if it bothers you. But I don’t see a way to automate when it goes into Silent mode (which is what I would expect a smart device to be able to do) so you would have to change it manually if you wanted to bring the noise level down. I personally like the blue light at night. I have kids, so having night lights in my house is necessary and I found the blue light to be helpful when you need it (kid comes in my room at night or I go to the bathroom) but not so intrusive as to keep me from falling asleep. In terms of air quality, I can’t really “feel” a difference. I feel like I’ve been sleeping better, but I’m hesitant to say that it’s because of the Molekule. My area is known for allergies and I have a cat, so I feel confident that the air quality in my bedroom is better, because I have the air purifier. In the past I’ve used nasal decongestant before I go to bed (periodically) and I haven’t had to do that since I’ve had an air purifier. Again, it’s only been a few days and I’m hesitant to say it’s 100% because of the air purifier, but I’m confident it has had positive effects on the air that I’m breathing (at least in my bedroom). CONCLUSION Air purifiers aren’t the most sexy devices, and it can be difficult to justify the purchase price.. They’re expensive and you don’t always see “real” tangible benefits as we (me) take breathing air as second nature. In other words, you notice when you are breathing poor quality air but you don’t really think about it when you’re breathing purified air. If you are in the market for an air filter, this is the one to get. It’s a nice looking device, works well, easy to control. If you’re not necessarily looking for an air purifier, I would do a little research and give it some thought. But I can say that I’ve been using my nasal decongestant less. Is it the purifier? I can’t definitively say, but if nothing else, it gives me comfort that I’m breathing better air. (And I’m well aware that air purifiers won’t, by themselves, improve the overall air quality of your living space. You also need to dust, change your sheets, air filters in your HVAC etc. But I do all of that, and I noticed a change with the addition of the Molekule air purifier).

    I have it running 24/7 and I no longer have allergy symptoms! It has cleared up odors that drifted in from outside -- in about 10 minutes. Great product - I highly recommend.
