Our take

Molekule is an air purification brand offering a range of air purifiers that collect and remove air pollution. Their patented technology both captures and destroys chemicals, bacteria, and molds that build up in indoor spaces. Molekule's technology eliminates the broadest range of pollutants when compared to other air purifiers on the market.

Air pollution is estimated to kill more than 10 million people a year, and is becoming a growing concern for populations worldwide, with consumers eager to manage the air quality of their living spaces. Molekule's air purifiers are designed for the home, and can be purchased for small rooms or larger spaces (250 sq ft or 1000 sq ft). Additionally, the products are made to seem like decorative items, so they do not detract from interior design.

The photoelectrochemical oxidation (PECO) technology used by Molekule's products has been extensively researched, with the company itself submitting to peer-reviewed trials to substantiate its claims and provide new benchmarks for the industry. Dubbed the Tesla of air purifiers by Forbes, and with scientific backing, the company has cemented its position at the forefront of the air purification space.
