How does this perform when not on its highest speed? I have the original Molekule Air and definitely feel mislead by many of their claims, especially after reading more reviews on the unit and seeing how poorly it performs compared to the competition.
I just ran this test for you this morning. I ran it in our standard testing room (10' x 14' with vaulted ceilings, door closed) on the lowest speed setting (1 out of 6 on the manual mode). Here's the results: Baseline: PM2.5 = 3.8 PM10 = 5.6 AQI = 15 Particles = 566 1 Hour Later: PM2.5 = 0.3 PM10 = 0.4 AQI = 1 Particles = 139 Honestly, I'm a little surprised it did as well as it did on the lowest setting. The 1 speed setting is extremely quiet. Even so, it achieved nearly the same result that we saw on the highest speed setting. Let me know if you have any other questions or there's anything else I can check out for you.
Yeah, as would I. I'm going to put it back on my list to look for an upgraded particulate measurement device and we'll see if we can add PM1 as a data point.
Air purifiers, be it Molekule or anything else, really aren't going to do much for pet hair. Pet hair is going to almost always be too large to be filtered, so it's going to clog / clump up around the pre-filter. If you're finding dog hair clogging the air purifier you might consider a robot vacuum, which is going to make a much better impact than an air purifier can.
@@susanbaker100the filtration and the reliability. I have 6 IQAIR machines with 2 of them that I have had for over 10 years and they run 24/7. I just change out the filters as needed. I have tried other brands and the difference in quality is there.
Thank you! Totally get you. For my money, I'm probably also getting a Dyson. Don't get me wrong...Air Pro is impressive, but $1,000 is $1,000... Thanks for not subscribing :P
Modern Castle two dyson tp04’s or one molecule for relatively the same price. Proven technology versus new not as tested technology... change it filter twice less often, I’ll stick with dyson. Also I totally wasn’t subbed before 🤪
@@nickbien Yeah...exactly. Unless you really just don't like HEPA, it's hard to argue with that type of value driven logic. Plus, you can get 3rd party Dyson filters for much cheaper.

I am happy to see the filter setup is more like the Mini+
Agreed. The hybrid filter is a definite improvement over the Air's 2 piece filter design
@@ModernCastle I wish you would have shown the light output in a dark room.
Would love a PM1 test on smoke particles. Haven't seen that done with this model yet.
Yeah, as would I. I'm going to put it back on my list to look for an upgraded particulate measurement device and we'll see if we can add PM1 as a data point.
Thanks for the review. How does it do with pet hair? We have two large dogs that shed a lot and always clog our Winnix AP. Thanks.

Thanks bro
You're welcome
Ok we won’t like or subscribed or comment oh wait I already did all of those
Oh dang...our plan backfired :P
This guy is cute!
Thanks, mom.
The Dyson is a good purifier. IQAIR is the best air purifier!!
Hi Tim - what makes you say this about IQAIR? Curious as i am researching the best for us, 2021.

You'll be happy to know we have a new IQ that just arrived. We'll be testing within the coming weeks.
I’d still go with a dyson. But great review 😊 also I totally didn’t like and totally didn’t subscribe and definitely didn’t tap the bell icon 👀
Thank you!

Modern Castle are the 3rd party ones on Amazon good or could they not be hepa material. Or does it depend.
