My four-year-old Molekule air filter crapped out after I replaced the filters and they don’t fix them, so you just gotta throw the damn expensive pieces of junk away.
Question please! Our apartment collects a ridiculous amount of dust! Our baby will be here any day now!! Is this or is this not a good investment!? I got confused with the conclusion of this video!!
I’ll stick to my 3 IQ air Pro Plus machines, used in conjunction with my 2 Coway Airmega 400 machines. Why would I needs so much filtering power ? The chemtrail spraying program is absolutely devastating in this area. So when they spray, which is often, windows close and machines run on moderate to moderately high all day. Molekule is on the right track but not ready for the big boy playground just yet.

6:40 Do you know the smell of ozone? Many "ion air purifiers" are actually just practically ozone generators and ozone is bad for your mucus membranes but it can sterilize viruses and bacteria. The only problematic part is that the amount of ozone you need to sterilize viruses and bacteria is higher than is suitable for humans. As such, these ionizers should only be used for rooms not occupied by humans and the room should be ventilated before any humans enter the room.
@@amarkus4 I wouldn't get anything that emits any ozone. I'd recommend anything that has pretty big HEPA 13 or HEPA 14 air filter with purely rectangular shape and rubber seals for the edges of the filter. That way you have at least pretty good hope to have 3rd party filters available when the original manufacturer hikes the prices. If your air purifier has custom shape filters (and possibly patented shape!) you either throw the whole unit to trash or keep buying new filters with extortionate prices. Basically get any unit with HEPA 13 or HEPA 14 filters that already has 3rd party filter vendors. However, that means that the air purifier will be physically big and there is no workaround for that. However, physically large purifier with large filter also needs less air pressure to push the air through the filter which means it will be quieter, too. Oh, and check the spec sheet: you want to compare units with the same filtering volume: start with something that can filter ~200 m³/h and figure out how much noise it will need for that amount of air. You'll usually find that small units cannot either filter that much air at all or will be very noisy doing that.
@@MikkoRantalainen thank you so much. Ill be taking all your points into considerstion when purchasing my air purifier. The hepa 13&14 is a smart catch from your side, i havent thought of the patented filters which now makes sense! Thanks :)
@@Misscrazy180 I'm not familiar with such an unit. A quick look to specs says that model 300S can process 575 m³/h at max fan speed which seems adequate enough and will probably result in pretty silent operation in smaller rooms. And Amazon seems to offer a H13 filter pack with active carbon for $30 which seems sensible enough. Some vendors ask $100+ for the same pack so make sure to compare prices before getting a new filter for that unit. And if you plan to keep using that unit for extended time periods, pick multiple packs of filters immediately because the prices typically go up once the unit is no longer sold as new. The active carbon part of the filter is there to simply reduce smells, the actual filtration is done by HEPA H13 filter.
Molecule will be nothing but problems! By the way it will cost you $300 a year to replace the filter, you have to be a fool you buy this. Great review my friend!
Filter costs $300??? That filter seems to be active carbon combined with (hopefully) HEPA filter. If the filter is actually below HEPA class, it could be active carbon with F9 or F7 filter. That's similar quality to many cars that have a cabin air filter these days. Those filters should cost about $10 a piece so there's very healthy margin for this manufacturer.
7:40 I think you should have just tried to turn on the ceiling fan. Ionizers just allow particles to attach to surfaces and the ceiling fan allows them to fly again. The filter in that air purifier looks like active carbon something* filter so it should be able to capture most of the particles as long as you can keep those particles in air. Basically you have to recirculate the air many enough times to catch the particles in something* filter. Can you turn off the ionizer in this thing? If the something* part were actually a HEPA filter, recirculating the air many enough times should catch particles. And the active carbon part is good removing odors but that's a wear part so you need to keep switching the filters. In industrial environments active carbon is sold by kg and typical active carbon filter for the active carbon part weight 1-2 kg. If the filter in that thing is slightly dark and weights next to nothing, you can be absolutely sure that the amount of active carbon is pretty miniscule.

go with Coway or BlueAir! They make much better air purifiers!
Thank you! Will buy Coway I was about to but Molekule
do you need to exchange the filters? does it generate neg. ions too?
You ever do an update with the Molekule and it's performance? What do you recommend for a 1 BR Apartment 650 square feet.

i think you're on point
"What's wrong with you" Haha!
I need to go to gadget therapy

i just got one from Habitat for America Restore. No wonder they were running it for $10.50. #Junk

That was very helpful. Which air purifier would you then recommend? I thought about the samsung one for 60m2 but not sure not with the ozone smell :(

no it does not!

Can you just sit the camera down? Nauseating.
Next time!

Thanks for your video. Just piece of advice.your video is super nauseating . Need a stand for your camera or a stabilizer for next time
I have one it is worthless
