Air purification systems now need to offer so much more in the way of efficiency and overall look. This is mainly because there are so many other products that are competing for the spotlight. The benefits of an air-purifying system include being able to reduce the number of allergens in the air. 

This is particularly useful if you have respiratory illness issues. You do not want to be stuck fighting pollutants because of the air in the area you live in, which may be beyond your control. Sometimes you may be forced to share a home with a smoker, or you may have a pet, and you want to reduce the amount of pet dander in the air. 

Acquiring an air-purifying system should not mean that you have to get an imposing unit that will totally throw off any theme you may have had going on. The Molekule air purifier is a good looking unit. It has a modern sleek look that you will appreciate. It has been described as sophisticated. 

This air purifier comes with a grounded power cord, that can be detached. The design, however, does not allow you to accidentally unplug the unit, so you are safe in that regard.

You do not have to worry about it detaching accidentally. It also has a leather handle which makes it easy to move around. One of the unique things about this air purifier is that it does not just trap the pollutants, it also destroys them.

Purifying Mechanism

When you first switch on the air purifier, it will ask you to select the room size and then it will start to calibrate and perform an initial auto clean. Once this is done you can then go ahead ad set the purifier to the modes that you prefer, including the amount of sound that the unit produces. 

It is a very effective purifier and within an hour of switching it on, you will feel a noticeable difference, especially if you were struggling with allergies. 

The Molekule air purifier has a pre-filter and a nano filter. It uses photoelectrochemical oxidation (PECO) technology which is patented by Molekule. Whilst HEPA filters trap the smallest of particles, PECO traps gas pollutants.  

The Molekule air purifier, cleans the air, in 4 steps. First, it takes in the air in the room on a 360-degree rotation. Then, larger air pollutants like pet dander, are traped in the pre-filter. This is just before they make their way to PECO filter which is where the pollutants are killed. 

When they reach the PECO filter, the pollutants are broken down t their most basic form, through a chemical process in which non-particle coated filter reacts with light. Once the pollutants have been broken down, the purifier releases the clean air. You can also operate it using an application on your cell phone. This makes it a truly smart product.

Durability

Coverage

It can cover rooms that are 400square feet or greater. When you first power it on, you will see a screen that gives you options to select room size. This is because room size is very important in running an effective air purifier. 

Whilst you do not need to have the exact dimensions for the room and match them inch for inch, you can use a ballpark figure. The Molekule air purifier has three room settings. This is for rooms up to 200 square feet, for those between 200 and 400 square feet, and for those that are larger than 400square feet. 

Think of it this way, if you are going to be cleaning dishes in a restaurant, you will need more liters of dishwashing liquid, than when you were dinner plates for a family of three. The same applies to air purifiers. The bigger the room, the bigger the air purifier capacity needed.
