Molekule. *NOTE: this post has been updated to reflect my experience with it, I no longer recommend any Molekule product, even if it is sharp looking. If it truly worked it could be amazing.

What an ingenious (looking*) product. This air purifier is theory would be amazing and it looks chic. There are many different models, meet the Molekule Air Mini + It. Is. Sweet (looking)*! Click the link for more info.

The Air Mini + detects when it needs to change from a lower speed to a higher speed (often when the heat is on, or when cooking for example). You can set it to a constant speed or you can put it on AUTO and it will take care of things. And. It. (Kind of*) Does! There is a small area on the top (center) of the Mini that when you touch it it will show you if it detects the air particles in your room and will tell you if the air is good, moderate, etc. You can also see this information via their app, as well as control the Mini + via the app. I highly recommend reading about this piece of art – it’s quite amazing.* (see UPDATE below).

I wish* this little machine would take care of business (at least it looks mighty sharp)- Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) even sold it!) I only use the highest setting after I dust/vacuum, etc. I might bump it up when I walk out of the room (it can be very loud on the highest setting), but it’s clearing the air 2 out of 5, ugh! Otherwise it’s a nice light white noise. This small air purifier is good up to 250 square feet. There are other models that handle more square footage. I use it in the bedroom and the area where we live. Works Runs great, no problems, other than the fact that it isn’t helping my allergies.

*UPDATE: I no longer recommend the Molekule products. I think when I first received this air purifier, I was thrilled, it seemed like it was working, yet allergy symptoms would still appear and worsen during high pollen months. I think I didn’t want to believe it. I’ve had many problems with the PECO filters which they were good about sending a replacement. The prices have increased quite a bit for the filters and now the Air Mini + filter (changed 2x/year) are $99.99/6 months or subscribe for $79.99/6 months (a few years ago it was $99/YEAR!) – the reviews from Consumer Reports and New York Times Wirecutter are disappointing at best. I did reach out to Molekule asked if the new “special HEPA” filter didn’t make a difference, could it be returned. I’ve already bought two Molekule products, the AIR, which they discontinued shortly after purchase and they don’t offer the “better” filters for and the AIR MINI +.

One positive on the Air Mini + it makes wonderful noise to sleep to. But unless your filters are current the unit will not run. The lights blink and wake me up, so I have tape over them. Not a good look, but allows me to sleep at night.

This was great advertising – excellent in making you believe, fork out money and have it not work for years. Not sure why it took me so long to figure it out, don’t do what I did.

‼️Read this from New York Times – Molekule had to retract most of its advertising claims. WOW… Read the article HERE.
