Do I Like the Molekule Air Purifier?

I have mixed feelings about my Molekule Air Purifiers. I used to love the Molekule, but with my recent experience living in a moldy military house and now an off gassing new house, my opinion is wavering. After all is said and done though, their customer service has been superb and my Molekule’s are again working well after actively off gassing our new house.

Positives:

They work well in a relatively stable healthy environment with at most only minor mold challenges and minor off gassing.

My kids and I can be in the same room as the Molekule and we have no sensitivities because there’s no ozone.

We can have guests with unique smells in our house to visit and our house can stay neutral smelling with clean fresh air.

It’s portable so the Molekule works perfect for taking with for stays in hotels.

The warranty and customer service are excellent! I have never had such good customer service. There’s a 60 day satisfaction guarantee policy and a 2 year limited warranty. All our Molekule’s got moldy in our recent 1 1/2 months living in a moldy military house and Molekule replaced all of them since they were under warranty still.

Negative:

Molekule’s can get moldy if you live in a moldy environment. All our Molekule’s got moldy in our recent 1 1/2 months living in a moldy military house but Molekule replaced all of them since they were under warranty still.

Our Molekule’s did not do well in our new off gassing house until we actively off gassed the house. What happened? Our Molekule’s started making the environment more metalic and uncomfortable for us within 2 weeks of use in our off gassing house. I discuss ways we off gassed our house in this blog: Environmental Impacts on Healing from CIRS and Lyme Disease. Once our house was mostly off gassed and the air mostly neutral, we resumed use of our Molekule’s after replacing the Peco and pre filter. If the Molekule’s are under warranty still, talk to Molekule about replacing the filters under warranty, if you notice your Molekule’s causing an unusual metalic odor due to your off gassing house. Now that our house is off gassed, my Molekule’s are working well again and it’s giving off clean fresh air.

They are expensive upfront but have a smaller filter expense per year compared to some filter based air purifiers.

They are room air purifiers only. If you own and can buy a whole house system, that is the best option. If you rent, 1) think about installing carbon and merv 13 filters in your air return vents. We buy our combined carbon and Merv 13 filters from Nordic Pure, made in the USA. 2) Also, think about what room air purifiers are best for you.
