Would you mind describing your test procedure for air quality? Wirecutter's review uses quite reliable instrumentation in what seems like fairly well controlled test conditions, and their results for the Molekule are abysmal. Molekule themselves seem to avoid any industry standards like CADR, pretty bad sign. They are misleading people really badly.
Sure thing. We use an electronic air quality measuring device (amzn.to/2PwbATg) to monitor the air quality index, PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, and formaldehyde. We start by taking a baseline measurement of air quality in our test room with the door closed. The bedroom is 12'x12' and is part of my family's home. Our home is located in Phoenix, Arizona. As a lived in home it's subject to normal particulates, hair, dust, dogs, bacteria, viruses, etc. Once we have a baseline we turn the unit on the highest setting, close the door, and let it clean the air for 1 hour. Then we come back in the room, turn the unit off, and use our electronic air quality measuring device to take a measurement. We then compare that to our baseline data. We complete the same process and use the same equipment for all air purifiers we've tested. In our view, this method strikes the right balance of closed test, while still being reflective of what a purifier might encounter in a normal home. We don't add extra particulates to the air (however, I do turn off all other air purifiers in our house several hours before we run the test, so we can get a high enough particulate count to see if it's able to reduce particulates compared to the baseline). Let me know if you have any other questions.
nice review although a bit cruel, its like putting my grandma up against usain bolt in the 100 meters. the molekule is fairly well recognized as a barely functional plastic tube
Good review. Molekule doesn’t adjust fan speed on auto mode with air quality. The Molekule is not capable of monitoring air quality. It only changes speed depending on the room information you set at the start. Connection issues plague the Molekule and it hasn’t gotten any better with the latest firmware update unfortunately. I own both machines and I’m equally impressed with the purification of both.
I got a Molekule at a thrift shop for $21. FYI these are $800 new. You should have mentioned the ultra violet lights inside that actually kill germs and mold not just trap them.
The Dyson (like any fan!) do not push out cool air, unless the air in the room is already cool. It does not actively cool the air, because it is not an airco. The way it can cool the individual person is through passive cooling, meaning the heat radiating from the body (through sweat or just from the skin out) is swept away with the wind caused by the airflow of the fan.

Unless you live in a sealed laboratory there is no such thing as a dust free home. It's less dust, not zero dust dust. The Dyson also functions as a fan. Molekule doesn't though.
Love the info but why am I still struggling to choose between the 4 different type of Dyson models! Too much and the only big difference to me is aesthetic and whether it cools or does both beating and cooling. I mean is it just that?
More or less, that's it. 04 generation models generally have higher air flow DP / TP aside from form factor differences have the same specs / hardware HP adds heating I think for most consumers it's a choice between the DP04 and TP04. If you want the heat then of course go HP04. If you find a screaming deal on it the TP02 is also a good pickup due to its high air flow (similar to that of the 04 generation). Pick between those 4, imo.
You can find replacement remotes here - amzn.to/35NQGXZ - if you are interested. Not sure what model you have, but most Dyson air purifiers can be controlled with Alexa.
I have heard the same. During our tests it wasn't clear that auto mode is increasing / decreased based on any type of air sensing (as other purifiers seem to do), but I wasn't able to 100% verify one way or another.
What is the problem. That is part of his personality. I just found him original and real. Why trying to make people or yourself act or being seeing like machines without human expressions and characteristics or simply personify someone they are not? . In other hand I’m no wonder why youtubers use robotic voices just to avoid this kind of comments.
I would really like to see what the air quality index is after running for 3 hours and then at 24 hours and then at 48 hours. I think another review I watched said the molekule recommended to boost clean the air for 3 hours when first starting. And according to the molekule’s claims the regular hepa and carbon filter do well initially but then over time start letting particles loose into the air.
Unfortunately, we don't have the Molekule any more (it was on loan from a friend of Modern Castle), so we cannot re-run the tests (at least not tonight). It's possible there would be an improvement in performance, but I am doubtful it would be dramatic. We've tested a litany of HEPA, carbon, and photo catalytic purifiers over the last 6 months. During our initial tests we ran much longer tests at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours. Eventually we decided on a 1 hour test because we just weren't seeing significant changes in the longer tests vs. the 1 hourt test in the vast vast majority of units we tested. Typically, the units quickly reached their maximum purification level and then would maintain that level for time after 1 hour. In any case, I would still say Molekule's performance was great. Yes, Dyson was a bit better, but still...achieving 0.6 PM2.5 is great. Regarding your other point on HEPA filters eventually having worse performance...that's a good point. So I decided to run a test tonight to find out. I ran our Rabbit Air MinusA2 on the highest setting for 1 hour in our test room (full review here - moderncastle.com/rabbit-air-minusa2-review/). We've had the MinusA2 almost 6 months and it has been running every day during that time. Here's data: Starting: PM2.5 = 1.5, PM10 = 2.5, Particles per liter = 149 After 1 Hour: PM2.5 = 0.2, PM10 = 0.2, Particles per liter = 19 Original 1 Hour Test: PM2.5 = 0.1, PM10 = 0.1, Particles per liter = 9 So, it's definitely higher, but still functional identical, in my opinion. This isn't to say there is no validity to Molekule's claim, but at least based on the initial test with our Rabbit Air we didn't see those results. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I’m a couple of years late to the party but just wanted to say how helpful this video review was. I did watch the wire cutter review of the Molekule that basically said it was useless but there were other reports I read that indicated wire cutter couldn’t quite measure the PECO tech that Molekule uses. Most of its testing was HEPA. I’m not against new tech but the problem is that most of the reporting about PECO seems to be coming out of Molekule themselves. One of their bigger claims is that PECO kills the particulates that are caught whereas HEPA will only capture it. To the extent that is true, the potential problem with HEPA (like Dyson) is that mold can grow in the filter and that can be re-released into the air. No bueno. And i think Molekule uses this as a selling point. Which is cool. But re-release of mold really only happens if you just leave a dusty old HEPA filter on there and cheap out and “clean” it and try to reuse it like refilling ink tanks for your ink jet printer. If you keep to the filter replacement schedule that Dyson recommends, yes, there’s a potential for mold to grow inside the Dyson but in the filter it will remain. Swap out of a new filter when instructed and you’ll be good to go. i ordered the TP06 (not worried about formaldehyde, really. but only the TP06 connects to Siri).
Thanks for your comment! I agree, I think Molekule's views regarding destruction vs. capture are overstated. The idea that HEPA is not effective is just misleading. HEPA has been the standard for 50 years because it's so effective. In any case, whether the particulates are destroyed or captured isn't as important, in my view. Both the Molekule and Dyson performed well in our particulate removal tests.
@@ModernCastle Did you happen to see what wire cutter saw with Molekule? They said when in “dark” mode, all the lights, including the blue PECO lamp would turn off and the only filter in effect is the pre-filter. If that’s true, that’s a major issue.
@@srirachahero4679 I didn't read / watch the Wirecutter review. But that does make sense. PECO works through light activation. If there's no light, no filtration. In any case, that does make the sleep mode / dark mode not great.
1) Basically, it's a fan. That's what Dyson considers cooling. It's not an AC. It only cools in that it creates air flow in the room (which is also how it purifiers the air) 2) You don't have to. It includes a remote control. However, the app does provide additional functionality.
I thought they both suck? Thought the whole Dyson line can get outperformed by sub $300 purifiers. You still need two or more Dysons to decrease particle count in a large room more than 500sq ft
@@ModernCastle I meant it as a question. When I look at comparisons in other review videos where they do their own testing Dysons seem to perform the same as Coway Winix and Blue when attempting to clean a huge room. They all obviously do fine in bedrooms but do very bad with the lit match particle test in a large living room
@@meowmixmeowmix I'm not familiar with the "lit match" test. Do they literally just light a match and leave it burning for X amount of time? Or just immediately put it out? I may have to add that test to what we normally do.
@@ModernCastle Yes not sure of the duration but from what I understand particles from a lit match are very small and even get through HEPA filters so it makes a great test for checking efficiency. No matter how great all of these air purifiers perform in rooms like 300sq ft though, they tend to almost not contribute at all when trying to solo clean a very large room. I'm on the hunt for the most strongest purifier and if there is none I'm looking for a pair of purifiers that can actually clean 1000sq ft. COWAY claims to clean 1000sq ft + but they most definitely do not. Two of them might do the trick though.
@@meowmixmeowmix Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I may try that test on our next review. If you want something for 1000+ square feet as you said...you either need multiple units or a unit with a huge air flow. For that level of airflow you're going to be looking mostly at the most expensive $500+ purifiers.
It will also be good to add that Molekule is more expensive base price over any variant of Dyson's purifiers and more expensive overtime for maintaining both the filters. Molekule looks amazing but if price was a concern not to mention functionality with cooling and heating depending on the model, Dyson would look like the clear choice. #DopeReview
Fair point. For our money, we would buy the Dyson over the Molekule. We expected to see better performance out of the Molekule given the price premium.
Molekule is better if you also want to remove airborn bacteria along with particles. Thats what the PECO filter is for, which the other machines do not have. So its expensive for a special reason.
We actually have tested the Sqair. You can find that review here - moderncastle.com/sqair-review/ Unfortunately, we've only done a contextual review thus far. But we may add the video review in the future.
This is how you tell the difference between a company that actually builds good products that actually solve the problem they are designed for vs. companies that build products designed to rely on the ignorance of consumers and misleading marketing (Molekule).
So the molekule selling points were just that it looks better and that it does not use a Hepa filter? Not big selling points since it preformed much worse!
I can read everything you've said online in this video. Can you actually test these products on the claims on what they can do? And then see if what they claim actually works or not. Thank you.
Actually, all Dyson purifiers have carbon filtration, the TP01 has a carbon lining inside of it. That is the most basic model without all the bells and whistles, at least from what I have seen. But the more expensive models have a lot more activated carbon in their filters.
I don't believe that's the case. If you look here www.dyson.com/purifiers/dyson-pure-cool-tower-tp01-white-silver.html you'll see no mention of a carbon filter in the TP01
@@ModernCastle nope its there, its like a light lining on the back, or in the center of the filter, its impregnated with carbon, i own a dyson tp01 its there, but i dont think its near as good as the more expensive ones.
We've done a few HVAC, heater, cooler, and fan reviews, which you can find here - moderncastle.com/home-goods/#hvac Unfortunately, we don't have much on TH-cam yet. However, we do have 3 portable AC reviews coming within the next several weeks. So get subscribed for those.
The true difference of the Molekule isnt so much of the particle removal, but the destruction of harmful pollutants, although, I dont know if that destruction will allow particles to get through, I dont know how thier science works, but that's the theory anyway. So instead of trapping mold, it destroys it permanently.
That is indeed the idea at least. Though I'm not really sure that it matters whether particles are trapped or destroyed, either way, they are no longer in the air. In my view, that's functionally the same. Especially as both Molekule's PECO filter and HEPA filters need to be periodically replaced.
@@ModernCastle Honestly, if you want a machine that is not only more efficient, cost effective, and just pimps the shit out of your air, get the IQair health pro plus, it makes molekule look like a girl scout compared to a green beret.
I just got my grandma a TP04 and she loves it. I would choose the Dyson because it is better in almost every way. And I think Dyson does more tests and has more experience. And I think it woul dhave been cool if you showed more of the dyson app because that's also signifigant. But the review was great!
Thanks for your feedback! I'll be sure to include more info on Dyson and other apps for our reviews moving forward. Glad to hear the TP04 is working out so well for you!
Modern Castle the main reason I wanted you to share it is because the dyson link app works reliably unlike many other air purifier apps. And it was so easy I could help my grandma set it up over the phone because I can’t see her in person.
Don’t listen to Sven. You do whatever you feel most comfortable doing. Nobody cares if you flap your arms like a chicken. We all came for the quality review.
@@Rohan876x To do your whole apartment get the Dyson DP04 - amzn.to/34q48jP To do just your bedroom (or any single room) get the Dyson BP01 - amzn.to/2UYywyr I personally think the BP01 is a little expensive given the square footage it covers. So if you really do just want something for the bedroom I would suggest the Levoit LV PUR 131 instead - amzn.to/2RW6SlG Let me know if I can do anything else for you.
I see that you have tested many air purifiers. Can you tell me which one has performed best? I don't care about noise, more or interested in something that can help with eliminating things like mold, formaldehyde, vcos and anything else floating around in the air.
That would be the Oransi EJ120 - moderncastle.com/oransi-ej120-air-purifier-review/ It's the most expensive, but also the best performing air purifier we've tested to date. It was able to reduce PM2.5 to 0.1 and PM10 0.0 with a particles per cubic liter of air as low as 4. Let me know if you have any other questions.
It's a fan. It blows air at higher speeds through it that can be directed through oscillation. To clarify, it's not an AC. If you find that a fan helps cool you down it would be a nice add. If you're looking for a portable AC you're going to be disappointed.
Great review, I was specifically looking for Dyson DP04 sound test, you've tested TP04 though they should sound similar I guess. Thank you for providing all additional info too, very very good review video, much appreciated!
Our pleasure! I'm glad it was helpful. You are correct, as far as we can tell the only major differences between TP04 and DP04 is going to be a little better air flow on the DP04 and the form factor is a bit different. Otherwise, the performance should be substantially similar.
You're very welcome! Between the HP04 and TP02 I think it just comes down to 1 factor...heat. Are you going to use the heating feature on the HP04? If so, go for it. If you don't think you'll use it much the added air flow and lower price of the TP02 is the better option.

Sure thing.
We use an electronic air quality measuring device (amzn.to/2PwbATg) to monitor the air quality index, PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, and formaldehyde.
We start by taking a baseline measurement of air quality in our test room with the door closed. The bedroom is 12'x12' and is part of my family's home. Our home is located in Phoenix, Arizona. As a lived in home it's subject to normal particulates, hair, dust, dogs, bacteria, viruses, etc.

thank you so much for this honest review!
My pleasure :)
It will also be good to add that Molekule is more expensive base price over any variant of Dyson's purifiers and more expensive overtime for maintaining both the filters. Molekule looks amazing but if price was a concern not to mention functionality with cooling and heating depending on the model, Dyson would look like the clear choice. #DopeReview
Fair point.
For our money, we would buy the Dyson over the Molekule.
We expected to see better performance out of the Molekule given the price premium.
Molekule is better if you also want to remove airborn bacteria along with particles. Thats what the PECO filter is for, which the other machines do not have. So its expensive for a special reason.
@@shaikhahmed7929 I gotcha, but if i was to bang my buck, which you really can't they are both pricey in their own respects i rather get the Dyson
Nice review, I wish you’d review the Smart Air Sqair as well..
We actually have tested the Sqair. You can find that review here - moderncastle.com/sqair-review/
Unfortunately, we've only done a contextual review thus far. But we may add the video review in the future.
Modern Castle yes, I’ve actually read it.. what do you think of it vs the dyson?
Thank you so much for the awesome review!!!
You are so welcome!
This is how you tell the difference between a company that actually builds good products that actually solve the problem they are designed for vs. companies that build products designed to rely on the ignorance of consumers and misleading marketing (Molekule).
An another thanks from Turkey for your unbiased review... As I can see Dyson always takes to heart own business...
You're welcome!
Dyson TP for my Bunghole.
So the molekule selling points were just that it looks better and that it does not use a Hepa filter? Not big selling points since it preformed much worse!
I tend to agree, those wouldn't be deal breakers for me personally, but to each their own.
I can read everything you've said online in this video. Can you actually test these products on the claims on what they can do? And then see if what they claim actually works or not. Thank you.

I have the Dyson Air Purifier TP06for the living room, love it !
Nice! TP06 is a beast.
Actually, all Dyson purifiers have carbon filtration, the TP01 has a carbon lining inside of it. That is the most basic model without all the bells and whistles, at least from what I have seen. But the more expensive models have a lot more activated carbon in their filters.
I don't believe that's the case.
If you look here www.dyson.com/purifiers/dyson-pure-cool-tower-tp01-white-silver.html you'll see no mention of a carbon filter in the TP01
@@ModernCastle nope its there, its like a light lining on the back, or in the center of the filter, its impregnated with carbon, i own a dyson tp01 its there, but i dont think its near as good as the more expensive ones.
Great job guy
Thank you!
do you have an air conditioner, dehumidifier, or heater video?
We've done a few HVAC, heater, cooler, and fan reviews, which you can find here - moderncastle.com/home-goods/#hvac
Unfortunately, we don't have much on TH-cam yet.
However, we do have 3 portable AC reviews coming within the next several weeks. So get subscribed for those.
All these replacement filters create garbage from filters, it sucks its not paper only.
Yeah, that's a really good point. I hadn't thought about that before.
Can you do these with an iqair purifier as well?
IQAir is on our list to test in the future. We'll get it done as soon as we can!
@@ModernCastle Great! thanks.....do you think you can get it done before black friday? lol jk, i will look out for the vid once you make it available.
@@K0NY718 Hah...sadly no. It will certainly be after Black Friday.
The true difference of the Molekule isnt so much of the particle removal, but the destruction of harmful pollutants, although, I dont know if that destruction will allow particles to get through, I dont know how thier science works, but that's the theory anyway. So instead of trapping mold, it destroys it permanently.
That is indeed the idea at least.
Though I'm not really sure that it matters whether particles are trapped or destroyed, either way, they are no longer in the air. In my view, that's functionally the same. Especially as both Molekule's PECO filter and HEPA filters need to be periodically replaced.
@@ModernCastle Honestly, if you want a machine that is not only more efficient, cost effective, and just pimps the shit out of your air, get the IQair health pro plus, it makes molekule look like a girl scout compared to a green beret.
Very through and helpful
Thank you! Glad to hear it!
Dyson has a funny filter size))) For example, look at what filter size in Panasonic purifiers
It is indeed a bit weird.
But ultimately, it's the same type of filter material...HEPA is HEPA, regardless of shape.
@@ModernCastle Yes, HEPA is HEPA, only in Dyson because of such a small size, it will have to be changed often, it is not financially profitable.
I just got my grandma a TP04 and she loves it. I would choose the Dyson because it is better in almost every way. And I think Dyson does more tests and has more experience. And I think it woul dhave been cool if you showed more of the dyson app because that's also signifigant. But the review was great!
Thanks for your feedback! I'll be sure to include more info on Dyson and other apps for our reviews moving forward.
Glad to hear the TP04 is working out so well for you!
Modern Castle the main reason I wanted you to share it is because the dyson link app works reliably unlike many other air purifier apps. And it was so easy I could help my grandma set it up over the phone because I can’t see her in person.
The Winix 5500-2 performs better than both of these
moderncastle.com/winix-5500-2-review/
@@ModernCastle Does the Levoit Vital 100 really have better coverage than the Winix?
@@TacticalNuke321 If you believe the specs purported by Levoit, yes.
You’re reviews are amazing! Are you single 😍
Thank you!
Not single though
@@ModernCastle - always worth a shot! Haha! Thanks for all the videos, I enjoy how you present the facts.
@@saxyselmer4me90 You're welcome!
high end in price only

Good Review, my only suggestion is stop moving your arms so much.
Thanks! I'll keep that feedback in mind.
Don’t listen to Sven. You do whatever you feel most comfortable doing. Nobody cares if you flap your arms like a chicken. We all came for the quality review.
Please do a review of the Airdog X5
We'll add it to the list
I like the Dyson, which one should I get if I have a 1b apartment? Just for the bedroom? and is there a model that will do the whole apartment?
What's the square footage of your apartment? And of your bedroom?
Modern Castle Apartment is 764 sqft. Not sure about the bedroom.
@@Rohan876x To do your whole apartment get the Dyson DP04 - amzn.to/34q48jP
To do just your bedroom (or any single room) get the Dyson BP01 - amzn.to/2UYywyr
I personally think the BP01 is a little expensive given the square footage it covers. So if you really do just want something for the bedroom I would suggest the Levoit LV PUR 131 instead - amzn.to/2RW6SlG
Let me know if I can do anything else for you.
@@ModernCastle Would this Dyson you reviewed do for a small 2 bedroom flat?
@@georgetteb7709 Absolutely.
im sorry but so which is better at air quality?
Based on our tests the Dyson was a better performer, however, it was a fairly close contest.
Both are still great purifiers.
Finally a thorough review! Thank you, too much sponsored stuff on youtube.
Thanks so much! We appreciate your kind words of support!
Most thorough review I’ve seen. Appreciated it greatly. Thank you!
You're very welcome. Thank you very much for your kind words!
I see that you have tested many air purifiers. Can you tell me which one has performed best? I don't care about noise, more or interested in something that can help with eliminating things like mold, formaldehyde, vcos and anything else floating around in the air.
That would be the Oransi EJ120 - moderncastle.com/oransi-ej120-air-purifier-review/
It's the most expensive, but also the best performing air purifier we've tested to date. It was able to reduce PM2.5 to 0.1 and PM10 0.0 with a particles per cubic liter of air as low as 4.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@ModernCastle is this also good for mold?
@@justinhawley1016 Yes, any quality HEPA purifier can handle mold spores.
Donovan Capron the newest Dyson model has new tech to handle formaldehyde as well. Pricy though
I ordered a MoleKule mini and it just came yesterday, its working fine. Thanks for the review!
Thank you!
I'd love to hear how you like it!
Does Dyson Pure Cool really cool down a room or just claims to do?
It's a fan. It blows air at higher speeds through it that can be directed through oscillation.
To clarify, it's not an AC.
If you find that a fan helps cool you down it would be a nice add. If you're looking for a portable AC you're going to be disappointed.
Modern Castle thanks for the reply. I am actually looking to replace a ceiling fan in a room without any AC
@@hari_ish If that's the case, then the Dyson air purifier or a Dyson fan would be a sufficient replacement.
Harish Aytha It cools nicely~ love mine!
Thank you very good review
You're welcome!
Great review, I was specifically looking for Dyson DP04 sound test, you've tested TP04 though they should sound similar I guess. Thank you for providing all additional info too, very very good review video, much appreciated!
Our pleasure! I'm glad it was helpful.
You are correct, as far as we can tell the only major differences between TP04 and DP04 is going to be a little better air flow on the DP04 and the form factor is a bit different. Otherwise, the performance should be substantially similar.
Thank you for an unbiased review of these! Definitely changed my mind to Dyson... now I just have to decide if I want the HP04 or TP02
You're very welcome!
Between the HP04 and TP02 I think it just comes down to 1 factor...heat.
Are you going to use the heating feature on the HP04? If so, go for it. If you don't think you'll use it much the added air flow and lower price of the TP02 is the better option.

@@hankypancake You're welcome
The Molekule is supposed to kill viruses, etc.
That is my understanding as well.
You sounds sponsored 😂 almost every HEPA filter requires replacing every 6 months.
