What reviewers say about the Molekule Air Pro
Three hands-on testers bench-tested the Molekule Air Pro — Tom's Guide (July 2025), Reviewed/USA Today (Feb 2024) and TechRadar (Sept 2024) — and agree it filters effectively, surfaces detailed multi-pollutant air-quality data on its screen and companion app, and looks premium, but is loud at high fan speeds and very expensive with costly proprietary filters. All three measured high-speed noise (65-78 dB) and confirm the ~$1,000+ price plus roughly $175 twice-yearly filters. FDA Class II medical clearance is confirmed by Reviewed and TechRadar.

Where reviewers disagree Overall value splits the testers: TechRadar called it 'the best air purifier I've tested so far,' while Reviewed concluded it 'simply does not make sense' for mass-market buyers given the price. Measured max noise also diverged by method — 65 dB (Reviewed), 70.1 dBA (Tom's Guide) and 78 dB (TechRadar).
The sources (3)
max measured noise: 70.1 dBA · air speed at highest fan setting: 4.7 mph · power draw range: 23.9-57.5 watts · estimated annual energy cost: $38.40/yr · perfume-test VOC peak sensed: 550 ppb · candle-test VOC peak sensed: 390 ppb · dust(flour)-test PM2.5 peak (back to 2 in 15 min): 60 ug/m3 · filter life remaining after 3 weeks continuous use: 93%
It does an impressive job for cleaning air in small to mid-sized rooms and has a great app.
In all our tests, the Air Pro performed well, keeping the atmosphere in a mid-sized room clear and breathable.
Still, it was very loud at 70.1 dBA, which is the upper threshold of a conversation.
However, it is among one the most expensive air cleaners I've tested, at over $1,000, so it's a luxury that you'll need to consider.
smoke removal rate vs average (lab): 47% better than average · VOC filtration vs average (lab): 26% higher than average · measured noise at high speed: 65 decibels
In our smoke filtration tests, the Molekule had a reasonable smoke removal rate, 47% better than average.
Sure, the Air Pro can handle large spaces, but to do so means it operates incredibly loudly—we measured 65 decibels at high speed.
for mass market consumers, Molekule's Air Pro air purifier simply does not make sense.
noise at fan speed 1: 38 dB · noise at fan speed 3: 51 dB · noise at highest fan speed 6: 78 dB · time to clear dry-shampoo odor: within 15 minutes · time for IAQ to return to 'moderate' after contamination: about 20 minutes
it's been the best air purifier I've tested so far as a result of good detection, detailed air quality readings, and its odor control functionality, in particular.
In terms of odor control, the Air Pro did a decent job of removing the strong fragrance of the dry shampoo within 15 minutes.
It lacks Bluetooth connectivity, and the app should really have more features considering the sky-high cost
the highest setting, fan speed six, was 78dB, which is as loud as a coffee grinder.
