REVIEWED: Molekule Air Purifier, One Month In Our Room and the Verdict 

Not what I experienced at all. There is a reason why they failed in in court and had to pay millions

You're absolutely right. This is actually the worst air purification unit to date.

I bought a Molekule before even seeing this video and sent it back before the 60-day window closed. Molekule is absolute garbage! I have severe allergies/asthma and this did nothing. After watching a lot of non-sponsored videos that actually did the testing I sent this pile of garbage back. This is a 100% sponsored video with no actual scientific testing.

Wirecutter did proper tests and results are CRAPPY

A tip : you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies lately.

@Jeremias Spencer Definitely, been using Flixzone} for since december myself =)

The review he did was basically a comercial/sale video for them.

We agree, Vacuum Wars did a really nice job with testing this system ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ygo5N5bvS54.html

@@Enviroklenz Wrong filter.

Give us an update Dennis. I just purchased one mostly for eliminating odors. I was torn between this and the Dyson Crypto fan... I went with the Molekule

@@nflcolts83 Yes... This Is a Great Product! Although... Like I said, The Filters Should Be Washable and Reusable!

@@drdjmphd thank you for responding, I figure a lot of people who are bashing this product are going off of reviews and have not actually purchased the product. I can't wait to receive my Molekule.

@@nflcolts83 I bought one about a year ago, I can verify the negative reviews are true. Now stuck with a very good looking $800.00 piece of garbage.

@@srr9281 Im actually pretty satisfied with this Molekule. Being in California with the wild fires has helped enormously with the air quality of my bedroom. Can't smell anything where as before, my room had a smell of smoke. May not work for all but I'm going to keep it. The only thing I'm not satisfied with is that it emits a smell, the PECO filter. I'm being sent a new filter by Molekule , hopefully it resolves my issue. Does yours have a smell?

Hello, we have tried to understand the technology for possible use in our clinics - and yes, the Molekule is different to conventional air purifiers. We suspect that the total amount of contaminated air in an enclosed room is not being completely circulated through the device as with say a HEPA type filter. To discover if the Molekule is effective enough for your needs, you should obtain one on a sale or return basis, and hire or purchase a digital particle counter that can measure very small dust particles in the air (conduct a before and after test). Some air purifiers have a built-in particle counter, although they are fairly basic.

Are you just coping and pasting this review on every video? 😂

Carrie Gray I too have seen this same comment on other videos. But the poster does ha e a good point. I’m glad they are posting where more people are likely to see it. ( BTW I did order one . . . . should be here in a few days.)

I am in the process of doing a more in-depth test with a particle air counter. Will post a new video review soon.

What about the Dyson purifier then???

Wow! If you like this unit, you should try an air purifier that works! Basically anything that isn’t just an ionizer will do.

Hate mine. just fkn hate it

What other devices have you used? I'm curious to know the comparison

Hi Ricardo, Thanks for review. I wondered, may I ask what your previous units were? I am looking into mitigating some tabacco smoke from a neighbor and was curious what units you’ve tried (for dander, sounds like...) Thanks!

Does a air filter really help if you are only breathing that air while in that room? Like if its in my bedroom I will only breathe that air maybe 8 hours a day. Will that make a big difference on allergies?

Hi Justin Smith, Otherwise, have you been pleased with your Molekule...good...bad? Sure would be interested in hearing...

I am in the process of doing a more in-depth test with a particle air counter. Will post a new video review soon.

@@ApplianceBuyersGuide TOO LITTLE TOO LATE! A Particle counter is the FIRST tool to use when evaluating ANY air purification system. Move on, nothing more to see here.

Probably kills moles too...

LOL! The MOLEkule.

You say potato, I say Mol-eh-kewl.

Those poor moles :(

Just like Juicero

My allergy symptoms are definitely lowered. I have the mini plus though.

BRUH. WHERE'S THAT IN-DEPTH TEST WITH PARTICLE COUNTER THAT YOU PROMISED? ITS BEEN 2 MONTHS.......

LOL that molekule is a piece of shit.

According to their website it's 1199 USD for the unit.

it won't.. even $200 off is not making a difference for a product that has no stats available.

Lol you mad you just can’t afford 100$ extra with apple lol and try to run fortnite 60 FPS on android lol we have way better performance bitch

looks like $799 now online

Glad to hear it!

These cost almost the same as a reme halo. Seems a bit overpriced

They can't spell "Molecule" correctly either! LOL

My personal feeling is that it is not powerful enough to move that much air. I would venture to say you would need 2 of these Molekule's in a room that size to actually clean the air. Hope that helps Duncan!

Hello Duncan, Molekule can effectively clean a 600-square-foot room with a standard ceiling height of 8.5 feet. In a large room of about 600 square feet, the device can provide a full replacement of the air in the room in under an hour. In a smaller room of about 150 square feet (such as a bedroom), Molekule can replace the air in under 12 minutes. The unit was designed to be portable and can easily be carried and placed anywhere in your home. You may decide to have just one unit and move it from the common area during the day to your bedroom at night, or some customers prefer having more than one unit in the home for convenience.

@@MolekuleAir I love the Applesque design. Hate the Applesque price. If this thing is so spectacular, how about a bit of altruism for your fellow man?

Maybe we will do that soon.

I am in the process of doing a more in-depth test with a particle air counter. Will post a new video review soon.

Mike, thank you. How bad is that initial smell? Is it something that goes away? Initally, does it fill up the entire room with a bad smell?

@@bhargan I've read comments from people who say the smell was noticeable for a few days or more. I sensed a bit of a smell for 2 days and it went away. The smell wasn't bad at all, its very hard to describe but you shouldn't find it foul in any way. Since then, zero smell.

We've been using the Rug Doctor at the home and showroom and it has worked fantastic for us for the past 6 years. And it's price is pretty hard to beat: amzn.to/2Tg8OSY

I've got the same question

@@detodosmoles Dumb question! If there is ANY light from ANY source in your bedroom, simply put a cover over it if you cannot sleep because of it! Do you people have any brain cells?

Whoa what's the reason for the unprofessional ad hominem attack? Does wonders for your credibility, especially as a business. Have you considered the light goes through some materials and covering it might interfere with the machine's function? Or that there might be a way to disable the light? No, guess there weren't adequate brain cells for problem solving, much less civility. Good job educating us about the nature and integrity of your business with random attacks of verbal violence 😛

@@detodosmoles You have just confirmed my concern for the intelligence of some people. 1) A light shining can easily be covered by a small piece of black tape. 2) The light does not interfere with the efficiency of the machine. How do I know? Because I witnessed a demonstration of this machine when the European Distributor exhibited the Molekule at a trade show in London last year. Move on, nothing more to see here.

No, I'm not sure if anything can do that effectively enough, as that is a serious health risk and you should not be by that at all. The most effective gas/chemical remover for the home I know of is the IQAir GC MultiGas: amzn.to/2Pw6ftd

Went bankrupt

I don't see how it would be a problem, as that HEPA pre-filter would catch any dog or cat fur before it gets to the main PECO filter.

I've got this question too

Does Molekule produce harmful by-products like ozone? Testing by independent labs has shown conclusively that Molekule does not produce any ozone as a byproduct. In fact, it was found that Molekule actually reduces background concentrations of ozone.

How are you liking the unit?

Some of the best around, they have a new bagless canister vacuum just released this month, which blows anything from Dyson away. Check it out: amzn.to/2HCos67

Miele canister HEPA vacs allow zero particles through. This according to mold remediation experts in my area who did some work for me. I do not have one. I have a whole house vac which I love. but they claim they measured with a laser particle detector and Miele's impressed the heck out of them. for a point of reference, they used the same meter outside my house and got a particle count of 760. then in my return duct which was about 260, then at my supply which was about 40 (this is after they installed a new HVAC system with Aprilaire 5000 electrostatic filtration system). We are STILL EXPERIENCING MAJOR SYMPTOMS so FUCK YOU MOLD!!!! so pissed off. can hardly breathe through my nose, my sweet baby cakes of love is very tired and doing anything productive is a struggle - we do what we need to do but there's no bounce in our energy levels. very very very difficult to figure out situation here. loading up credit cards to resolve the problem by whatever means necessary. looking to get two of these and a plasma system that distributes killer particles throughout the house (Reme Halo). anything we can to kill this shit which is destroying our lives. I don't want to pay ten cents more per gallon for gas but I'll pay $800 in a heartbeat PER ROOM if I have to to get my fucking life back. I suspect lack of house wrap in a low lying area of georgia possibly causing mold growth in the walls. I could go on and on......this is a very tricky one. Usually I can diagnose the problem quickly (I'm a master combination home inspector with 22 years experience IRC certified blah blah blah). house was contaminated originally by a Goodman condensing furnace with leaky gaskets allowing warm furnace condensate to drain back through the furnace (completely moronic design - older versions had the condensate drain on the OUTSIDE of the unit). so the insulation on the inside of the blower compartment (another completely idiotic thing - gee, let's put a shag rug in the blower compartment! that should never cause a problem! duh......) - insulation should be on the OUTSIDE of the blower compartment. anyway, if you need a vac, get a central vac as it shoots the small stuff outside the house. I love my vacuflow - my particular unit is filterless but not sure they make those anymore because once or twice a year you gotta clean the internal grill which is a pain but I'd rather that and shoot the small shit outside then it getting caught in filters - to each his/her own

It better for that outrageous price. But good commissions, eh?

I think I have tried every vacuum out there. Buy a Miele. I've had my canister for over a decade and will never have another brand - if this one ever dies, that is. It has been through EVERYTHING. It sucks up whole socks and keeps trucking. I've only had in the shop once - to remove a marker that got stuck in the wand handle. $30. Best vacuum ever and certainly better than a Dyson.

luvroxette95 thank you! Yes the Miele canister vacs are great machines, perfect for allergy sufferers due to their heavy duty bag design and hepa filtration. Love them and used them for many years.

@Lazaro Marin this Molekule air filter is trash, watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VM9CJZpqfpA.html

It helped my allergiy reaponse, I am allergic to dust mites - az dust - dog dander I have 3 dogs - etc -- Within 45 mins of it on my nose cleared and I havent taken my benadryl or any flonase for three days. I bought the mini plus.

Good question, I had the same one. Not everyone has a phone, or can afford it, or lives where a service signal is near. I do have an iphone, but I don't like the idea of needing my phone, to program another device. Most appliances no longer come with its own printed manual. I don't need to open my fridge to use my toaster, and I don't have to start my car to use the microwave.

Airdog produces Ozone and you can’t even get an airdog shipped to California because it’s illegal to sell products that produce ozone. I have the Molekule and a Oransi Ej and I prefer the Oransi a million times more. The Molekule is not good at filtering smells and I find a lot of the things they did deceptive. The app shows when your filter is getting bad, but it has nothing to do with your filter. It’s basically a timer. You think you have this intelligent machine monitoring your filter and it’s complete bull. I can name a few more if anyone is interested.

Frank White, yes please i would love to hear more about it. A week ago, air dog finally answered my questions. For the ozone problem, they say they have a filter catalyst that eliminate the ozone.

Lingotomy do you know if they are shipping to Cali yet?

But apparently UVC isn't that effective and generates some ozone. This one tho is expensive as fuck nearing scam levels of expensive its a no for me. So far I cannot decice in which air purifier to buy.

Thanks for the kind words Marja!

For that kind of dust, I would think the IQAir will do slightly better job. It has more filter levels. But you would also need to change the filters frequently and that could get expensive.

Why did the workmen not remediate and remove the dust after the renovations?

asbestos dust isn't supposed to be disturbed into the air as breathing that in can cause problems....

@irene Chin The crazy part is how often do you know that the Handyman or Painter who came to your house and did small repair doesn't have asbestos from a Prior job on his clothes, tools, sanders, VACUUMS etc. Often Handymen just use the same mops, same pants, same VACUUMS that spew asbestos from prior jobs onto your job. Also theres almost 100% chance that there WILL be some reminants of asbestos in some crack, crevis or in the CRAWL SPACE, or within the tiny walls of your house. That will be DISTRUBED in futurelittle jobs. ie if a cut out behind a cabinet had asbestos particles from a job 70 years ago from when someone removed asbestos tiles. 100% of your house can't be remediated so youre wrong in assuming that a remediation will getrid of 100% of asbestos Iriene

Hello, While our system is different and works on the principle that it is better to break down pollutants safely rather than just capture them, asbestos is unfortunately not prone to oxidation. Although we have not directly tested it, as an inorganic mineral that is highly stable, it is unlikely that our Photoelectrochemical Oxidation (PECO) technology will have much of an effect on respiratory particles of asbestos. While our dual filtration system would capture some asbestos particles, it would be more cost-effective for you to stick with a ULPA system. ULPA as an air filter rather than an air purifier (no purification technology that we aware of can actually break down asbestos) should be less expensive to purchase and maintain. No air purification system can address lead. The California Department of Public Health recommends that you consider lead testing if you have children in your home and: 1) your house was built before 1978, or 2) your house is near a freeway or roadway where leaded gasoline and its exhaust could have polluted the soil. The EPA has established specific criteria for lead test kits; an EPA-recognized lead test kit, when used by a professional with the right training, can reliably determine if lead-based paint is not present in the home.

Did this help in your home?

Aaryn Noble i think most of these are fake profiles.

$65 every 6 months. Not too bad :)

Nina Banana people put those Uv lights in their central air unit and they swear by it.

Plus anyone that would buy anything "smart" hasn't awoke yet from the slumber that the mainstream scientist/lobbyist's have put on them. I'd suggest that everyone go research the newest data about all of these "smart devices" and any microwave emitting devices/towers. I believe the results will shock you and make everyone think twice about a bunch of different things. Take care and Godspeed yall.

Zero information. Look at reviews with people actually testing the air quality and air recycle rate. It’s one of the worst air purifiers on the market. Hope you didn’t get burned by them

I'm sorry to hear my review is worthless and you don't think I give an honest review. At the bottom of our videos is a disclaimer clearly explaining our use of affiliate links. This is not something we hide. Companies DO NOT pay us to review their products. Ever. Virtually all review channels use affiliate links. If you are not going to read or watch a review that uses affiliate links you will have a hard time finding a review that doesn't. I did not tout many negatives about the Molekule because as far as my experience goes, there isn't much bad to say. A lot of people have called out the price on the comments here, and that is certainly a legitimate concern for some. But for me, the ease of use, setup, and technology justifies the price. We are still using ours and I bought a second unit for my kids bedroom. The product not only works, but unlike virtually every other air purifier on the market, it LOOKS great in the home.

@@ApplianceBuyersGuide you apparently haven't visited there website and checked the recent reviews then, just sayin! Even with software updates, some folks are still having major issues. For the price of these things, the thing should be flawless! You can get 2 or 3 top of the line air systems for the same price as one of these things. People complain that after several months of use, the fans get louder making the silent mode well, less silent. These are the things people want to know!

If it cost $3,000 there are brainless idiots who would buy it based on one very amateur presentation. We live in a world of fools as the song goes.

I just ordered a second one for my kids bedroom. We have an exclusive $75 off link in the description, just FYI.
