    I bought this unit April 2021. I figured that it would be my air purifier for life. It worked well for a while, then it started making a noise which I talked to support and they sent my another unit as a replacement in May 2022. I had an autoship of a new filter and when I tried replace the filter the unit said there was no filter in the unit. Support said that since I was out of the year warraanty by 2 months. I would have to buy a refurbished unit for another $500. They were not very helpful to get this unit fixed and this went on for over two weeks. So the cost of the unit was $500 for each each I used the unit. (2 years @ $500/year) This doesn't include the cost of the replacement filters, which will run $150 every 6 months. There are better units out there that will do a decent job that can be used and disposed of when the for less than have the price. Don't waste your money.

    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: https://molekule.com/technology ===================================================================================== 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.

    Molekule for the Win

    This is a review for the Molekule Air Pro 1,000 sq. ft Air. Purifier Initial thoughts: Very modern looking. It's Not too heavy, just over 20 pounds. Has a leather strap to carry it. Decent length cord. Clean design and very easy to put together. All you really have to do is remove it from the box, open the lid and place the filter in. Make sure the red lines match and shut the lid. Turn on and you're good to go. All in all, took less than 2 minutes to put together. I've been eyeing one of these for sometime, so I was happy to get hold of it. You can really tell the difference after a few days. It helps eliminate odors, kills certain bacteria and alerts your smartphone. The best part of this is the smart detection. It's constantly on patrol and can sense when a large amount of pollutants enter the room. If the smart detection is auto, it'll automatically turn itself on and work to rid it. To put this feature to the test, my wife and I cooked Bolognese without using the kitchen hood. Obviously the odor from the food isn't toxic, but it definitely changed the odor levels in the room. All of a sudden, we heard the device kick up a few levels to work its magic. Within 20 minutes it took  Another great part. A neighbor of ours was using the firepit and we happened to have a window open. A lot of smoke and odors entered the house. The device detected this and turned itself into a higher setting. In about 20-30 minutes we were smoke and smoke smell free! My eyes and nose are super sensitive to odors and particles in the air. Since I've been using this, I have had ZERO issues! There have been a few occasions when it's noticeably turned on (indicating a spike in particulates), but it doesn't take long to eliminate those. Pros: Easy set up Mobile app Easy reorder Smaller than I thought Sensor Cons: Expensive compared to other air purifiers Slight lag in mobile app Filter Price ($150 per or auto order feature for $99) Overall: I really wish I can give this a 4.5/5. The reason I took half a star off is because of the expensive air filter. It's a bit petty of me, I know... But it's already a pricey machine and will be a higher expense to replace the filters. I want to point out though, that I highly recommend this air purifier. It's fantastic and one of the best I've ever owned. Even though there's a small lag in the app, I know it's constantly working when it needs to be. We leave it on auto and I trust it enough to work it's magic. I have a very sensitive nose for odors and haven't even flinched since we've had this device. When you look at clean air vs. money, obviously you want clean air. But I understand affordability will keep some people away from buying it.

    Awesome air purifier! Easy on the eyes and cleans the air with ease. I bought this because I smoke in my basement and I did not want the smell going to the main floor. At its highest setting it’s pretty loud and the lowest setting is very quiet! Works like a charm.

    About The Air Pro is one of the higher end air purifiers that Molekule makes. It utilizes a PECO air filter and is designed to not only trap but destroy viruses, bacteria, mold, allergens, and chemicals in the air. Setup The physical setup is really easy. The packaging is nicely done and resembles the type of packaging you’d see from companies like Google, Apple, or Sonos. It’s well thought out and clean looking. Remove the product from the packaging and unlock the core by pushing down and twisting. Remove the PECO filter from the wrapper and put it back inside the core. Push the top down and lock it into place. Unwind the cord on the bottom and plug it in. The app setup was not easy. In fact, it was really bad. Molekule needs to address this immediately. The air purifier has an app available on both the App Store and Google Play. For reference, I used the Android version. It has a nice-looking GUI, but I had a really hard time with getting the Air Pro to connect to my internet (Orbi Mesh Router on a gigabit service provider). It took over a week for me to get it to connect, and honestly, the time that it did connect I didn’t do anything different than the other 10 times that I tried. It just finally decided to work. Very frustrating. The App The app really doesn’t do much. It talks with the air purifier, and you can see the status of the unit. That’s about it. You can set up refill orders for the filters and it requests an email address upon which I immediately started getting promotion material from Molekule (even when the app wasn’t working). The app does let you adjust the speed of the fans manually, but it recommends leaving it on the auto setting so there’s not much of a benefit here. The Air Purifier The Air Pro is one of the largest air purifiers that I have seen. It kind of looks like a stool, with the top of the unit at about chair height. It is designed to clean up to 1,000 SF of air space. The Air Pro is different than most other air filters because it doesn’t just trap debris, it actually destroys it. As I mentioned earlier, the Air Pro is designed to destroy viruses, bacteria, mold, allergens, and chemicals. It has sensors that detect 3 different sizes of particles. As a consumer, it is hard for me to verify these claims. The air does smell fresh around the unit, but that’s about as far as I can confirm. Noise The amount of noise that this large air purifier would create was a concern for me. I am using this in my main entertainment area of my home, so I didn’t want this to cause a constant humming. What I found it to actually be was very acceptable. I have had computer fans make more noise than this. The initial power on has a louder fan sound as it ramps up but returns to a barely noticeable level once it is running. Filter Reordering Filters for the Air Pro are pretty expensive - $150 each. If you sign up for auto-refills you can get them for $99. Each filter lasts for around 6 months. I do think that though the filters are expensive, this may be a case of “you pay for what you get”. Overall I think that the product is a solid product itself. I had a huge issue with the app which dinged its creditability. If Molekule could fix this, I believe that it would help quite a bit. The quality of the air purification seems to be really good. This is a high-end air purifier, and it does things that most other air purifiers can’t do. Overall, I like the Air Pro and am giving it 4 stars.

    My wife and I have had seasonal allergies as long as I can remember, “doesn’t matter where we’ve lived” and have a air purifier of some sort running 24/7 where ever we have lived. I saw the new Molekule Air Pro and had to give it a try. Unboxing: The Molekule arrived in a very sturdy cardboard container and inside the unit was inside a heavy “cloth like” bag, reminded me of an old style military duffle bag “just white”. It was very well protected the way they shipped it and we were impressed. The unit itself is assembled and the only thing you have to do open the top “very simple” remove it and lift out the filter which is wrapped in a plastic bag. Just replace it and the top and you are ready to use. Use: There is an Android APP you will want to download from the Google Play Store and this lets you see how much filter life is left and other settings. The unit itself has a touch screen on top and you can scroll through different displays from filter live to air quality just by swiping across the display. It runs very quietly on “Auto Protect”, just a slight hum is all, and there’s a slight blue light emitted from the vents at the top, otherwise you will really never know its running. Now if you want to run it on manual, on the top speed setting, you will definitely hear it and it’s loud, but its moving a very large amount of air. The air coming out is also directed in a circular angular pattern so you don’t get a stream of air blowing out in one direction. One of our Austin Air purifiers does this and you have to be careful where the outlet is pointed. The Android App allows you to adjust from “Auto Protect” and “Manual” we use auto protect but manual will allow you to adjust the fan speed. The app also shows you the filter life and under the settings you can sign up for auto ship for the filter replacements which saves a good bit of money if you do that over buying filters regularly. Maintenance wise this couldn’t be simpler, to replace the filter you just have to push down and rotate the top of the unit and let go, the top automatically rises up and you remove the top assembly, right below that is the filter that simply lifts right out. Replacing the new filter is done in reverse order and all parts are marked which direction they should go. Filter replacement should take less than a minute which is way faster than any of our other purifiers. Conclusion: We already have filters from AirPura, Austin Air, Bissel, and have had multiple brands over the years. This one takes air cleaning to a different level where it uses UV light and a catalyst to break down contaminants, they call it PECO and the end result is whatever it destroys is basically broken down into CO2, H2O and some trace elements. We were sautéing some garlic “that smell always lingers” the day it arrived and figured that would be a good test and it was. Our other air purifiers where running and the smell was still there when I turned on the Molekule, and to our surprise, within an hour the smell of garlic was gone “before it would take hours for that to go away. We’ve also noticed with the fall allergies here in AZ that our noses were usually stuffy in the AM when waking “even with a HEPA filter running in the room” and after a few days of use with the Molekule that has gotten considerably better. The air in the house overall has a more crisp clean smell to it, something that the other purifiers don’t do. I would say this purifier works the best for VOCs and any type of HCHO as those are completely broken down by the catalyst system, the same with molds, mildew and bacteria, germs etc.. I have a portable air quality meter that measures both VOCs and HCHO along with PM2.0 and PM10, and the readings sitting directly on top of the Molekule are as low as our Austin Air “filter was replaced a couple months ago” so it’s definitely doing its job along with removing all PM2.5 and PM10 particles. The HCHO reading is 0 and the VOCs are the lowest I’ve seen that unit measure. With COVID being so prevalent it’s nice to know that the way this filter works it doesn’t just remove it from the air “or any other contaminant it picks up” and hold onto it, it destroys it, so if you are looking for a really good air purifier that seems to really “purify” the air in your home I would highly recommend the Molekule air purifiers.

    MOLEKULE 4 Boundary Defense

    PROS The MOLEKULE AIR PRO air purifier arrived extremely well boxed in recyclable, minimally inked corrugated cardboard. Marketing language on exterior packaging expresses high ideals on behalf of consumers. MOLEKULE offers a range of price points and model sizes to accommodate a variety of room sizes and price points for those who find the AIR PRO model a reach. Interestingly, documents are attached to the exterior of the AIR PRO box that have useful statistics for those who might need the highest level of the MOLEKULE technology for large applications such as nursing homes, gyms, medical and/or hospital applications, et al. Distributing the MOLEKULE data at the consumer level is a great way to inspire the decision makers at home based businesses as well as businesses of all sizes to consider air purification as another means to reduce the spread of Covid 19. The company surprises the consumer with a luxurious special touch: Sunken into a white cotton duffle with handles and cinched at the top by a thick grey cord, the machine must be coaxed out of its 'gift' wrapping. A wide, rugged leather handle affords easy transport of the Unit between locations within the home. Unlike the industrial look of its competitors, the AIR PRO design is exquisitely modern and elevates any room with a touch of elegant high style. The tone of its sleek architecture is a value added spin for anyone seeking a contemporary aesthetic in a useful appliance. Unlike competitors these days, the manual is printed on an ~ 7” square card stock. Silken to the touch, the font height is easy on the eyes as are the graphics. The guide got me quickly through unboxing, removal of plastic from the filter as well the reseating of the unit's cap on to the filter for start-up. Download of the APP for Android was trouble free as was my initial connection to Wifi. I really like that the unit’s 360-degree air intake uses a laser driven particle sensor to measure the microbial load of a room. With each startup, a tiered status report is displayed in the APP and/or in the Unit’s top mounted digital screen. Track the readings in the APP or on the Unit’s round digital screen: GREEN for Good/ YELLOW for Moderate/ RED for Bad/ PURPLE for Very Bad. At initiation, the APP and the Unit’s digital screen indicated that my initial PM status in the bedroom was MODERATE on all levels. After closing the bedroom doors then returning after an hour, the APP and the unit’s digital screen indicated the room’s PM had been reduced. My new status was upgraded to GOOD on all levels: PM10 coarse particles, PM2.5 fine particles and PM1.0 microfine particles. Since set up, I am pleased to announce that my sleep pattern has improved. Mid cycle awakenings by allergens affecting my respiratory system have disappeared. To get a more dynamic reading of the Unit’s ability to clear PM, I moved the Unit to ‘kitchen duty’. I have a weak exhaust over my range; so, dehydration projects fill the house with the smell of spices, onions and garlic that I don’t want imbedded into curtains, carpet and upholstery. The Unit eliminated all dehydration odors within minutes to read GOOD on each PM Level. Likely that with a second Unit, I will not need a kitchen exhaust fan. Not following my own good sense, I unleashed VOCs from car paint touch up applicators in the kitchen. The AIR PRO handily eliminated the fumes in several minutes. At the APP and at the Unit, the user can scroll through options to adjust function from Auto Protect to Manual, view filter status, connect to Wifi, view product details such as Serial #, execute a reset, etc The manual boasts technology that uses PHOTO ELECTRIC (UV Light), CHEMICAL and OXIDATION (PECO) to eliminate viruses, bacteria, pollen, animal dander, as well as VOCs, smoke, cooking odors. The company states best in the field. So far, I see no other company using the PECO system. Though the rate of air movement through the AIR PRO can be manually adjusted from Levels One to Six, in my environment, when the Unit operates at maintenance level in a previously cleaned space, the Unit’s decibel has been near imperceptible at Level One. Level Six is the highest level. Used for rapid clearing of pollutants, Level Six has the sound of wind being forced through a tunnel. When not being manually adjusted, the sound of the fan increases relative to the level of pollution that the Auto Protect fan is attempting to clear. This is a subjective issue since everyone’s level of sensitivity to sound as with light and EMFs (electromagnetic fields) is different. Nonetheless, for sound reduction, choose the QUIET option. If trying to eliminate blue light in the bedroom to deepen sleep, choose the DARK Mode to turn off the Unit’s UV light then reengage UV scrubbing during daytime hours. The Unit has a MANUAL option if you need to disengage Wifi EMFs to deepen sleep or limit exposure at any time. If hypersensitive to EMFs, sound or light, you can use the unit only as needed. Also, see the Radiation Exposure Statement at the back of the manual. Since I am on an EMF reduction campaign to improve sleep, I turned off the Wifi and unplugged the Unit. Next morning at restart of the Unit, there was no change in the PM status. The room was still at PM level of GOOD. This reading lets me know that no ongoing source of pollution is generating a microbial load such as mold spores from the master bathroom. I hold out hope that the need to dust will be reduced. The literature says that the Unit is energy efficient. If on a Solar panel diet or to be exacting about energy conservation for any reason, you may want to use a kilowatt meter to track the Unit’s energy consumption 24/7 to evaluate the cost of your pattern of usage. BTW, you may be able to get the kilowatt hour usage data at various fan speeds from MOLEKULE’s customer service then multiply that by your usage time and cost per kilowatt hour to project costs to inform your purchase. For tax purposes, so far, I don’t see that the Unit is Energy Star Rated; but, leniency is in order if the certification process is anything like that of the organic food industry, long, arduous and expensive. Warranty coverage is 2 years. Bottomline, MOLEKULE air purification is a wise defensive strategy for home and health: 1) to eliminate indoor pollutants that emerge from furnishings and unwittingly from personal projects as well as 2) to eliminate pollutants that infiltrate from the outdoors such as smoke from woodburning and grilling neighbors as well as vehicular and industrial emissions, pollen and other threats to my immunity. Having a poly-sytemic impact on the human body, heavy metals, chemicals, viruses, bacteria, mold, pollen, animal dander, etc can bioaccumulate over time turning on genetic markers for disease and premature death. In addition to detox protocols to mitigate exposures, MOLEKULE is a useful tool in the mitigation of harmful levels of toxicity increasing in our air, water and food. For example, women's breast milk has been determined to deliver a toxic load of chemicals to newborns. See Does Mother's Milk Transfer Environmental Toxins to Breast-Feeding Babies? - Scientific American CONS But, given the option to accept the added expense of the bag or pay less, I would have opted out on the bag to get a less demanding MSRP. Occurs to me that a new basis for comparison will have to be designed to give the MOLEKULE a fair shake. Unfortunately, without the technical skills and tools, I was unable to conduct a comparative analysis with the smaller Honeywell units in other areas of my home. Moreover, I was unable able to find a third-party platform that established a basis for comparison of the MOLEKULE to other units on the market in a manner that could not be manipulated. In other words, I could not trust demos by competitors with biased intentions. Filter replacements can either be scheduled with an Auto Ship subscription or ordered as needed. Once the filter gets congested, the machine will briefly cycle on then off, reminding the user to make the purchase. Preferable would be a filter design that does not require periodic replacement and expense. Filters that can be cleaned at home frees the consumer from having to engage in subscription maintenance tasks and payments. These days almost every device and APP seeks endless attachment to the consumer’s bank account. Since hypersensitive to chemical pollutants, I was concerned after reading that the unit might off gas odors from its new plastic housing when unboxed. On reading that potential, I thought to put the unit outdoors at start up but lost focus and failed to protect my boundaries. Thankfully, the charcoal pad included in the packaging did a great job absorbing the odor. Any emissions that occurred beneath my awareness did not cause an allergic reaction. The manual says the Unit “will be unable to detect their presence (to) automatically adjust the fan speed to remove them ‘(i.e. VOCs off-gassing from the Unit’s housing)’ ”. I am not clear why the Unit is unable to clear its own VOCs. The Unit cleared VOCs from glue fumes inadvertently released in my kitchen. Still wondering where the difference lies.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *****Review***** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have to state the very first obvious thing upon unboxing the Molekule Air Pro 1000 sq. ft. Air Purifier. This thing straight up looks like it came out of Tony Stark's lab. I have to hand it off to the individuals/team that designed the unit and say that it really does look futuristic, premium and very aesthetically pleasing. I also really enjoy that the team was thoughtful enough to include a nice leather strap just in case you needed to move the unit to a different part of your home. The unit itself looks to be of a smooth brushed type of aluminum and the wire is integrated into the bottom base where you can do some cable management for safety and “final touches” on the whole look aspect of things. Now comes down to the actual functionality of this thing. Does it really make a difference? After unboxing it I immediately plugged it in and began setting it up. I had to unfortunately drop a star because of the actual app. In this day and age the app shouldn’t cause so many problems. It was a pain to get it set up and paired up with the unit. I tried everything from even resetting the Molekule Air Pro, completely unplugging the unit, down to messing with my phone to get everything paired up correctly. But after a bit, I was finally able to say that I successfully paired everything up and things started to work as expected. The app gives you some great information about the unit, you can change the speed of the fan (auto/manual), filter status and air quality (particle level). I kept the unit running and plugged in since the little box on the end of the cord says it uses low energy (so keep it plugged in); well so I did. I have to admit that after just an hour or so I can already tell the difference in the air quality of my home. How do I explain this…? It’s like taking in a deep breath of fresh air at a mountain peak where the air is nice and crisp… Clean. Sorta sweet might I add? Maybe it’s just my mind playing tricks on me I thought. Well as mentioned I kept it plugged in. Normally when I come home some days there’s this weird rotten egg smell that comes from the outside and somehow comes into my home even though my windows are closed. To my surprise… the Molekule Air Pro 1000 sq. ft. Air Purifier does its job and I legitimately can not smell that rotten egg smell inside my home anymore. To my knowledge the PECO-Filter is not only supposed to collect pollutants but it also destroys them. So perhaps that is why I don’t smell that rotten egg smell anymore? Regardless I have to say that the Molekule Air Pro 1000 sq. ft. Air Purifier definitely does the job. You have the option of changing the fan speed via the mobile app or on top of the unit through the touchscreen. I personally felt like leaving it on auto and having it do it’s thing made the most sense. At night time, I would change it to the “quiet” mode but to be completely honest; you can probably even leave it on the normal auto mode because I could hardly even hear the thing as is. As you crank the fan speed up manually you will definitely notice more noise; especially at level 6. Now to be completely fair… I don’t know why anyone would want to crank that sucker up to that level. I personally felt like leaving it on auto (standard) was quiet enough where it didn’t bother me and still did what it was intended to do. Overall I have to say that I am pretty impressed with this thing. I also did some research as to why you’d choose something like the Molekule which uses the PECO-Filter vs an air purifier that uses HEPA filters. From what I found out, HEPA filters simply catch particles onto the filter itself and collect it till you’re ready to replace the filter. When the HEPA filter is done with you simply replace it. The PECO-Filter on the other hand destroys the actual particles using light technology instead of simply attaching to the filter and collecting it like the HEPA filter does (keep in mind you still need to replace the PECO-Filter). Luckily you have an option through the app to sign up for a subscription on the PECO-Filter where it will save you some money as opposed to buying each individual filter one at a time. I will say this… If you are an individual that really cares about the air quality in either your home or office space and want to breathe in some clean crisp air; you will not be disappointed in investing in the Molekule Air Pro. Oh and I had the fantastic pleasure of using this everyday for about 2 weeks and decided to give it back a star. So all in all; I would give this air purifier a 5 star even though I docked one initially for the app issue(s) I encountered. Why may you ask? Because I can definitely tell that my air within my home is so much cleaner. The app issue was a hiccup and I was able to hold my breath long enough with this clean air that I am giving it back a star. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *****Quick Features & Specs***** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3x airflow: Designed to meet the needs of business and high-traffic areas, with 3x the airflow of Molekule’s award-winning consumer devices.

    First off I want to comment on the modern design and neutral tones which blends in well with our decor. I have had it running for a little over two weeks now in my living room where my wife and I hang out the most. We do not smoke or have pets, so I won't be able to comment on that. Yet I do have allergies and sometimes a musty smell in the house when arriving back from travel. Since installing this Molekule, there has been no musty smell in the house and my allergies have been improving significantly. Very impressed. It says it kills viruses, but I will just assume it does. My wife was burning candles the other night and the Molekule starting sounding like a vacuum. I checked my app and it said Particle level:Bad. It ran like that for about another 10 minutes then went back to it's quiet running sound. I checked the app and it said Particle level: Good and the smokey smell from the candles was gone. So it detected the smoke from the candles in the air. How cool is that? I then started thinking about all the times my wife burned candles and the air I had been breathing in the whole time. Going to start eliminating candle use and sticking with the Scentsy. I would like to give this unit a 4.5 star rating because I just saw the cost of replacing the filters every six months. I think there could be some improvement there on cost. Overall though, I would recommend this product.

    The Molekule Air Pro is, simply put, amazing. Living in an urban area with loads of air pollutants, and cigarette smoke from my neighbors, my old purifier/ fan could not keep up and ended up being returned because it was too noisy at low levels. The Air Pro is a beast meant to scrub air in a 1000 sq.ft area, and to be placed in the open, and the PECO filter is amazing. It uses light as a catalyst to destroy the bad stuff, leaving fresh, clean air, and you can see the light (It’s not UV so it’s not dangerous to look at) and when changing the filter you can see where the LEDs are. Now the Pro is large, standing at almost two feet high and almost twenty-three pounds, I am glad it has the carry strap, as it was greatly needed. Set up is easy, you get the purifier, a filter, and the instruction manual. There is no remote (Your phone is the remote), and the touch interface is easy to navigate. Once it’s connected to wi-fi, set it on auto and forget about it, the response time from pollution detection to action is a tad sluggish, but you certainly hear it ramp up once it starts to scrub the air. There really isn’t much more to this awesome purifier, which is excellent, it’s a simple plug-and-play type of machine.

    Really great product! Worth the extra money. It was so easy to set up, pair with my phone, user friendly & helped purify our air so quickly (after bad flood damage to our home). Will be buying more for other rooms in our home.

    We have been wanting to get a Molekule for some time now. After doing some research we found that the Air Pro is the best device to go for as we have a large living area downstairs. The machine is super quiet and despite its large size, it looks really nice. There was some light smell when it was first used as many users have pointed out, but it wasn't particularly strong or terrible.

    Really quiet. Usually, I can barely hear it. It gets louder when it goes into fast mode (if I'm making smoke from cooking), but still not too loud. It took a few tries to get it to connect to my WiFi, but once it connect, it was fine. The rest of setup was quick and easy. Seems to do the job

      Hey Raul, sorry to hear about your overall experience, with any purifier it's always recommended to keep up with your daily dusting and cleaning in conjunction to using your air purifier as our air purifiers are designed to capture and breakdown particles that are suspended in the air. Anything settled on a surface will remain there, but opening a window also helps as it provides more air circulation to the device. Hope this was useful, let us know if there's more that we can do: support@molekule.com

    Purchased March 2021, very quite, no problems. It seems to be doing what it was purchased for. My only complaint is the price of the filters every 6 months.

    Good for VOCs and HCHO; decent for particulates

    VOCS and HCHO (formaldehyde) are just as important to control in our homes as dust and particulates. I have some professional air quality experience and find the technology and effectiveness of the Molekule Air Pro to be very good. However, I do also use top-notch filtration for my furnace filters and have HEPA filters for particulates in addition to this Air Pro. The Air Pro connected easily and the app is very good. The LCD display at the top is responsive and has useful info about air quality (qualitative info, not quantitative) as well as controls (auto, manual, etc.). The unit itself is rather bulky and they recommend that you place it away from walls which can be tough. Build quality if excellent. Molekule air purifiers are the "Apple" of the home air filtration market! Overall a nice unit for protecting against VOCs and HCHO in your home from cleaning fluids, paint wood and vinyl floors, and new carpet. Less great for dust IMHO, but just use a good HEPA filter for that.
