So I was right when I called every person advertising the Molecule a paid shill. Lmao.
To be fair, a lot of those people probably didnt even own an air purifier before molekule sent one to them.
💰
I've watched around 10 reviews or comparisons on the Molecule and every single one said it's literally the worst one they've reviewed... Definitely shills... Some fairly large podcasts make it sound like it's a godsend, through its garbage...
Finally, a review that actually busts out the freaking data, not just some delusional "feelings".
This is one of the most important TH-cam channels I sub to. This channel must survive at all costs.
This channel deserves wayyy more subs.
Thank you for taking time to do this. So helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I wish I would had seen this before buying my Molekule. It looks nice, I'm still collecting dust in my room though. Sucks.
i wish i had that much money
did u buy that piece of shit... and its so over priced,its like 800 bucks dude
Dude you can get a purifier that crushes that piece of garbage for on 140$. It’s almost just 1/8th the price. If you fall for fancy marketing that easily you deserve to waste 800$
isn't collecting dust in your room what it's supposed to do?
... i want to feel bad but at the same time you bought something from instagram. You should’ve known better
Do you think you'd be able to compare these air purifiers with a DIY one of using a box fan + hepa filter strapped on?
Thanks. I’ve glad you tested these.
Thank you! This was quite informative, and the only actual "Test" I could find....
Type "wirecutter molekule" on the search field
Thank you for such a thorough analysis! Haven’t seen this done anywhere else. Would love to see your tests done on the BRID air purifier, which looks cool but lacks reviews.
absolutely love all these videos! used the vacuum videos to purchase my current vacuum and LOVE it! cant wait for more air purifier videos as that is next on my list to buy :)
Awesome! Thank you!
A valid comparison under controlled conditions, including VOCs which Molekule advertises as a strong suit. My kind of review as opposed to "worst air purifier" or "it sucks." We own two Molekules and have been reasonably happy with them. That said, we use high efficiency filters in our HVAC system which probably remove a large percentage of particles. Thank you for the excellent product comparison.
Thank you so much for the detailed review:)
Super informative! Could you do Molekule vs. Dyson Pure Cool TP04/DP04?
People looking for a purifier to help with allergies, please look for reputable sources that state CADR rating (clean air delivery rate) and make sure it is reasonably high before making your purchase.
Would like to see the test with one of the older Oreck XL purifier with the Truman cell.
Love these reviews!!!
Awesome review and the cat steal the show
Great review.
Have you tested air purifiers doing oxidation or ozone?.
Incredibly helpful!
Glad you think so!
Bro! Another Amazing review! I just became your sub today and I’m addicted already, which I’m also addicted to stuff that cleans very good. In because your reviews on vacuums I’ve made my mind on which to purchase:)
Thanks so much bro!
Just curious. What did you end up getting?
Would you consider looking into the Honeywell ifD filters/purifiers?
I watched another review on the Molekule and in the first minute he was like "this is the worst air purifier we have ever tested". My kind of review! lol
haha yes that was my wirecutter, molekule uploaded a video on youtube claiming their "review" wasn't fair and that they have to test in labs and not in rooms...
lol same here
If I recall correctly iq air v5 gas absorption filters also use a blend of absorption media. I think charcoal, activated alumina, and zeolite are used. Activated alumina should trap inorganic gas vapors (something charcoal can’t do) and oxidizes them into simpler components. So they at lest won’t off gas inorganic compounds.
I have an IQ air healthpro 250 and I love it, dust allergies don't affect me much
I wish you could do a mold test where you put a slice of bread completely filled with mold on one end of a closed box system and a fresh slice on the other and put the air filters in for 24 hours or so.
Can you do a review against the new Dyson cryptomic
I did like to see the test Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier
I recently bought an EnviroKlenz based partly on this review and now need to return it. When I opened the casing to install the filters I smelled a rubber/plastic smell. When I turned on the machine it started pumping this smell into my home. Perhaps given enough time it would fully outgas this smell, but I live in a small place and don't have an isolated room to outgas it in.
Reading Amazon and Better Business Bureau reviews after the fact I now see that I'm not the only one with this issue.
It stinks as this does seem to be a good odor and VOC removal device.
I do not have MCS, I'm just a person with a regular nose who likes a perfume-free house. My wife has scent-triggered migraines and needs something to get rid of the laundry and perfume smells that come from our neighbors through the shared attic/wall. We both noticed this off-gassing smell as a strong, noxious odor.
So what did you do? Did you keep the EnviroKlenz or get another air purifier for VOCs?
Would you please consider doing reviews on some of the latest Levoit brand air purifiers??? They seem to be a popular brand on Amazon. I truly appreciate your thorough and informative video reviews. You're helping me narrow down my decision on a robot vacuum, and I've recently taken up interest in air purifiers and how they can help improve the air quality in my home.
Angela Schmidt I just bought the Levoit H133 and love it! I usually have it in auto mode and every time I cook, the light turns red and the fans go on high. Seems to work well!
The Levoit AP look great! Glad you brought them up. Looks like they have models ideal for bedrooms.
I bought a PUR-131 a few weeks ago and it's awesome. Looks good, very easy to use, and in seems to be very effective in all the tests (although really, all these machines are basically the same inside so as long as you get one with a genuine HEPA filter you can't go wrong).
Best air purifier tests on the internet. They are a major help for me. Still cannot decide which one to get. Do you think air purifiers can help with dust? So I don't have to vacum and wipe dust that often. Since I have two cats in a rather small flat, this is becoming a problem ^^ Maybe you want to test that, sure it would be interesting for others as well :)
Would love to see a comparision/review on the Xiaomi Air Purifier 3H!
I thought for sure the Environklenz would be more expensive than the Molekule, but if I read the sites correctly, not so. Thanks for the review. I've got an air purifier downstairs. Maybe Evironklenz will have to be purchased for upstairs.
What's the cost in terms of your energy bill?
If they're left plugged in 24/7 howuch does it increase your energy bill?
Sorry I’m late today, thanks for the video ! Woooooo!
How about reviewing the Austin Air healthmate and the Amairecare 3000
You never mention a very important factor: the generation of ozone (which is, in itself, a pollutant). Long story short, if you use UV lights you release ozone in your room. (This was the main reason why I purchased a Brid purifier. Super happy with my choice so far).
Found this on Amazon Questions,
UVC Lights or germicidal UV are at a much more specific wavelength than what is termed “UV” broadly, which encompasses the wavelengths of 100-380 nm. UVC are low-pressure lamps, more like a fluorescent lamp, with a specific wavelength of 253.7 nm (1182.5 THz).
To create ozone from UV, the light wavelength would need to be in the range from 160-240 nm.
Since the EnviroKlenz Mobile Air System is UVC, it has a wavelength of 254 nm, which is outside of the ozone producing range.
Those Brid purifiers look way too small to do much. Its mostly just about the hepa filter size on these things.
You should also monitor ozone levels when comparing machines. We have a PECO / PCO type unit in our home A/C system and at higher levels we can smell ozone and ozone test strips show very low but positive amounts of ozone
thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
What do you do for the filterless vacuum? Aren’t you destroying motors?
Have you ever tested the filter queen products? They have an air filter and a canister vacuum.
Is there a way you can test effectivity against wildfire air quality? Maybe use some sort of bee smoker. And for odors, you might be able to just use your nose with some standardized smell compounds with a certain concentration.
If the design of enviroklenz could be improved without compromising quality it would be a hit. it could double as an end table maybe as is.
thank you so much!, for the review
My pleasure!
This video is great! How is the Enviroklenz holding up?
This is good content !
can you test for CADR? thank you
More more more. I have severe Allergies to airborne particles. Your tests seem great, I need more of these comparisons! Dyson Hot + Cool Pure???
Subscribed x
T Beck we have asthma too and bought the dyson pure cool last year for Black Friday - it’s fantastic and Dyson threw in an extra filter for free. I wish I waited for the cool + hot one! I used PayPal credit to pay over 6 months and it’s been so worth it
T Beck also if you do decide to buy the Dyson online, buy it direct from the Dyson website. Other online stores (amazon, eBay, etc..) will render your warranty void by Dyson because Dyson can’t guarantee proper shipping handling & storing by other vendors.
4:02 you should consider using graphs for comparisons like this 🙂
Can you review the s9+ from iRobot plz
Edit + the Brava m6
Have you compared/reviewed the Air Doctor?
Why did you use the same room size for both filters given that they obviously differ in size and capacity?
Can you test the popular Xiaomi and Winix air purifiers 🙏🏼?
Could you please do a review of the Xiaomi Air purifier?
Thank you for this. I have been researching air purifiers for my father as he is suffering with COPD. I was going to purchase the Molekule but the Enviroklenz appears to out preform it even if it is a nasty looking eyesore.
Can you please do a VOC test between Blueair HealthProtect and Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde™ TP09
Can you do a test at mid and end filter life? This is where most filters break down. For me, HEPA is good 1-3 months, Molekule is good for 4-5 months, leaving poor performance in the 6th month, but it is still cheaper to run than a HEPA filter given the more frequent filter replacement.
How did you measure formaldehyde levels? Does the HT-9600 do this? I had new hybrid flooring installed that smells funny and I can't seem to find a reliable sensor/way to measure formaldehyde
when EnviroklenZ lab tested the blue air purifier for voc removal effectiveness, it seems like they used the standard particle filters, while blue air makes “smokestop” filters which have a gas absorbing media added and would be much more effective in voc reduction. So it’s kinda flawed there...
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
I thought the EnviroKlenz's higher filter surface area would mean more time between replacement? So even if double the price, would replacing less often make the running costs more comparable?
Please review the IQ Air purifier & test their claim on filtering down to 0.003 micron
Cane to test the levoilt 133 air purifier please
What is the citation for the air purifier research? Looks like the iq air is also really good and I am looking for one for my car. (Iq air has a car model)
How does the Enviroklenz compare to the Dyson Pure Cool Air purifier
How does it compare to the Austin Air??
Great video as always. If it is possible, can you review the Holmes Odour Grabber air cleaner? Thanks.
Ill keep it in mind! Thanks!
@@VacuumWars You're welcome.
How do these each compare to the new Dyson?
I figured both machines would have pre-filters. Their filters are so expensive a cheap 5 micron filter would save the much more expensive filters from dust/hair/etc.
thats a great idea! I"m probably about to purchase the environklenz, I think I"ll add that within the box as its a great idea
My Molekule Air Mini+ works for removing odors in my bedroom, not used the Enviroklenz.
You should compare an ozone generator vs the enviroklenz and the IQAir
Test the iAdaptAir next!
Can you do dyson crytomic vs enviroklenz?
Blueair 211 for me... Simple, powerful, and I can sleep like I'm dead until I wake up
Ok, What about the Air Scrubber UV-C Light, How does it compare (I hear this device is on the Space Station, Whit House and Pentagon, does it render Covid-19 ineffective? Not hearing a lot about this device?
So.. Based on the particle removal test, these are worse than dyson's n honeywell's, r? I mean, those ended up removing above 80% of particles in just 1h, comoared to the 50% of these.
And those also have some sort of VOC filtering as well, so why would I get one of these bulky units?
Have you tested winix models?
I'm interested in a test of the Brid Air Purifier. It works in a similar way to the Molekule but has all washable filters and they use an LED instead of a UV light. They claim it kills VOC's far better than the Molekule and most purifiers. I would be willing to send you one of mine to test.
"LED instead of a UV light"
You do realize that there are UV LEDs, right? One does not preclude the other.
"kills VOC's"
Hard to kill something that was never alive to begin with...
Great job love the comparisons. but what does v o c mean?
What about the lg puricare ?
Question what does VOC mean???
What about Ozone? Am quite susceptible to good old O3
What's the best air purifier in your opinion? Out of all that you've tested?
He said this one is. Enviroklenz. I watched the full Enviroklenz review here where he says that: th-cam.com/video/Ygo5N5bvS54/w-d-xo.html
What is the sensor you are using to measure VOC inside the box ?
It is a Foobot but appears to be discontinued.
But is it safe to have that UV light?
Great study. 27 people work for Molekule..
Hi vacuum wars, iRobot relesed a new Roomba (s9 and s9+) they look like neatos.
they spent so much time convincing people that Neato shape is not better and then come out with a Neat shape vac LOL
Still, the Austin Air machine has a 5-year filter!
Can we get a IQAIR vs enviroklens ?
Yes thats the plan.
This is the test that will hand Enviroklenz the crown if they can beat IQAir.
Isnt the IQair as lready listed in the test results?
@R99pinball We need a real world test not just some chart claiming something. Molecule had a chart claiming something and SURPRISE it was fake stats.
Testing with formaldehyde huh?
Also you could do a review on the LG r9 but I think it's expensive
The problem with all these filters is the production of oxidizers/ozone which are irritants which defeats the purpose of “air purifying” or rather better air quality.
Enviroklenz looks like some crappy server-box from 90s and its quality of the box is pretty mediocre... But it works. Molekule on the other hand looks great, but works like shit.
Haha reading this 5 months later. You got me tickled 😂
Form should follow function.
True... these two need to join forces and take over the air filter universe! They'd be unstoppable.
Roomba S9+ when?
Molekule, impressive design, almost B&O like and it could hold it own and in modern minimalistic home...
lmao a minimilist who drops $800 on an air purifier
I've been fighting their reps for weeks on instagram as they flood propaganda in advertising, claiming, "They just aren't testing it right".
Levoilt h133 air purifier
S9 vs i7 vacum robot
Bipolar ionization is a better technology that would actually suit peoples needs far better than HEPA filters, which don't have high flow. Most people just need a simple, inexpensive Merv 8 AC filter to eliminate allergens.
