Molekule Air Mini air purifier review: The next generation of air purifiers?

Buying Guide

Suitable Room Size

The Molekule Air Mini is designed for rooms up to 200 square feet in size. If you have a larger room, you may want to consider the original Molekule air purifier, which is designed for spaces up to 500 square feet.

How Does the Molekule Air Mini Work?

The Molekule Air Mini works in the same way as the original Molekule air purifier. It uses patented photoelectric technology to break down pollutants at a molecular level, removing them from the air you breathe.

Operating Costs

For the Molekule Air Mini air purifier, it will cost you about $1200 to operate for a decade. This is based on 24/hr constant operation per day and an average electricity rate of 11c/kWh in Australia.

To pay for itself over a decade, this means that you need to spend about:

$1200 / (24hrs x 365 days x $0.11 ~ electricity unit cost) = 55,000 hours of operation over decade to pay for itself. 

To put it in perspective this is:

55,000 hours / 24 hrs per day = 2250 days or about six years and one month.

So if you're looking to buy an air purifier and want one that will pay for itself over time, the Molekule Air Mini is a good option! It may be expensive upfront but it should last you at least six years. And unlike other air purifiers on the market, the Molekule Air Mini does not require any filter replacement making it easier to maintain over time.

Filter

The filter of the Molekule Air Mini air purifier is made of a proprietary material that captures and destroys pollutants at a molecular level. This unique filter technology is what sets the Molekule air purifier apart from other air purifiers on the market.

One of the benefits of using the Molekule Air Mini air purifier is that it doesn't require any filters replacements. The filter will last the lifetime of the air purifier.

The Molekule Air Mini air purifier is also very quiet. It produces less than 30 decibels of noise, which is equivalent to the sound of a whisper. This makes it a great choice for people who want an air purifier that doesn't make a lot of noise.

Besides, it is also compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport from room to room. It's the perfect size for small spaces.

FAQs

1. How long does the Molekule air mini-filter last?

The Molekule Air Mini comes with a pre-loaded filter that can last for up to six months. However, if you live in an area where there is smoke or other air pollutants you may need to change the filter more often. The company recommends replacing the filters every three months.

Although the pre-loaded filter is already functional, you need to activate it by running the Air Mini on a high setting for at least 90 minutes before use. During this initial run, you may notice a slight odor that will disappear after several hours of operation. This is normal and expected when activating any new air filter.
