Let's face it: most of the time in modern life is spent indoors.
Most of us spend our working hours in the air --
Condition office in front of the glowing screen.
There is not much difference at home.
Americans spend more than 10 hours a day on digital media on average, most of the time indoors in front of mobile phones, laptops or televisions.
Therefore, when the Environmental Protection Department warned that indoor air may be more polluted than outdoor air,
We should pay attention to interest.
Millions of Americans are doing this, especially when wild fires, floods and climate change make headlines and raise awareness about pollution and air quality.
One of the most interesting names in this field is the Molekule in San Francisco.
The company says its products are designed to destroy pollutants at a molecular level.
Because of its powerful pollutants
Elimination Function, this product is considered necessaryhave, high-
Buyers end purifier.
Therefore, due to the strong demand, Molekule has made progress on the company's website.
There is no doubt that the products produced by this company are very beautiful.
A few weeks ago, from the moment the purifier received the mail, I was moved by the care measures designed.
Their designers are clearly fans of Apple's product packaging Academy, with clean, modern typography and exquisite components that perfectly hide in small boxes.
Peel off these to reveal smooth machining

Aside from a little bit of a barrier to mobile apps, setting up is largely a breeze.
The app is also beautifully designed, but it took Molekule about half an hour to connect to my phone.
This is a problem that the company has noticed and promised to solve in the coming months. (
This app is not required to operate the purifier, but this is a good benefit --
I found the filter status indicator to be a particularly useful feature. )
In addition to the mobile app, the circular touch screen at the top of the purifier is smooth and intuitive to use.
You can view the room size, mode, power supply, filter status and in a loop. . . that's it.
It's actually very simple.
So beautiful so far.
But how does it purify the air?
In order to answer this question, we need to take a little lesson in filtering first.
Most air purifiers use the so-called high-efficiency air filter, which represents an efficient particle suppression device.
This is almost your idea when you think about filtering: Fans suck air through felt
Like the material, capture the particles in the folds and allow clean air to pass through the other side.
In the Molekule proprietary photoelectric chemical oxidation system (PECO), light on a filter film coated with a proprietary catalyst will produce a catalytic reaction on the filtration surface.
This is a bite, but as a result, PECO destroys the pollutant by destroying the molecular structure of the pollutant.
A big selling point is that this allegedly includes volatile organic compounds, or VOCs that are too small or too gas to stop for traditional HEPA filters.
A number of independent studies have shown that the potential PECO system of molecole has successfully destroyed mold, bacteria, viruses and VOCs, even below 0.
The gold standard for HEPA is 3 micron size
Certified filter.
Strangely, it does not produce ozone, a by-product of other air filters, as even low levels of ozone are shown to be harmful to your health.
The morecole system produces trace amounts of water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
Or, you know, what we should breathe.
From the average comment score of 4, the customer also seems happy.
The company has 6/5 stars on its website.
For me, when I was running molecole in the basement, the most noticeable change in air quality took place.
Like many basements, our basements have a typical musty smell that gets worse due to the presence of bins and cages for our pet rabbits.
However, in just a few hours, there was a noticeable change in Molekule.
The air is fresher and purer.
I can't smell the usual fear in our rabbit corner anymore.
I was impressed.
Some commenters described a mild plastic scent when using their Molekule for the first time.
The same is true of me, but it disappeared in less than an hour.
Now, a few weeks after I first plugged in, the purifier has a slight chlorine-
Just like what I smell directly.
Otherwise, this is a clear sense of smell experience.
In automatic mode, Molekule makes a pleasant background whisper like a soft white noise machine.
To be honest, the noise barely rises to the level of perception
A minute later I even forgot it was on.
In Enhanced mode, whir becomes a unique whoosh, similar to the rush of an overtaxed graphics card.
At the time of operation, the top of molecole will emit a calm blue light.
This is a beautiful little ring, a glowing mushroom cap.
Personally, I think it's very soothing.
The light is subtle enough not to disturb me or my wife while sleeping.
However, there is always a dark mode option if you are easily disturbed.
Low energy UV in this mode-
The lights are off and sensitive sleepers can get their 40 blinks.
Please note: PECO technology relies on the chemical reaction activated by light, so the captured contaminants are completely eliminated only when the dark mode is turned off.
The cylinder itself feels solid and safe-my 1-year-

Proprietary technology and modern technology
Sculpture design is not cheap.
But what's included in the price is the free filter year, which helps to make the deal sweeter.
After that, two PECO

The filter can be serviced by subscription ($129/year; molekule. com).
Before you hesitate, the HEPA filter is not necessarily cheap either, especially as per the model discussed.
If you appreciate creative design, smooth features and clean air, it's hard to beat the Molekule.
Hey, it will add a bit of modern style to your bedroom or living room.
But more importantly, there is some serious science that supports its claim for cleaner contaminants.
Free living space.
In this era of laptop warriors and screen fans, we all need more fresh air.
Don't you think?
