Promising review: "We were going on a family trip and had a friend coming with us. He was allergic to dogs and we were taking our dog with us. The trip was a 10 hour trip and we were concerned about our friend traveling in a tight space with the pet. We ordered this one item hoping it would make his trip easier. This worked like a charm! No swollen eyes, no sneezing! Would definitely purchase this again." –Jamie Manicure

Filters dander, dust, pollen, smoke, odors, mold, and other germs.
Promising review: "Within six hours of turning this on, I could take a deep breath without my sinuses feeling stuffy for the first time in so many years. This and a better floor cleaner have reduced the dust in my home by more than 80%! That's with four shedding animals. My apartment is closer to 1,000 sq ft so I do plan to get a second small filter for my bedroom, but this does a great job. I work in Healthcare and this is comparable the purifiers we use in the medical setting." –Jacqueline R.

Filters dust, pet dander, pollen, smoke, and other allergens and irritants.
Promising reviews: "I purchased an air purifier because at the time I had three cats. My apartment has three windows, so not much ventilation. I was waking up with a stuffy nose almost every morning. The purifier has eliminated that. The noise level goes up as you increase the level. When set on auto mode you can’t hear it at all." –love music
"It’s pretty to look at, sure, but I have three dogs that create a lot of dust and horrible tree pollen allergies to boot. This thing helps SIGNIFICANTLY – and when it’s not on max blast you can hardly hear it." –Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought this fan during Black Friday 2020 and it was one of the best purchases I've made. It has great setting features that provides options on how I want my fan to operate. It gives me the option to run it on a weekly/weekend schedule, so I never have to turn it on or off every day. The best feature is the app. It is so user friendly and such great quality.

Promising review: "We love this purifier so far! Breathing clean air is so important now more than ever. I’m feeling much more confident about the air in our home since we’ve started using the Molekule Air Mini+ air purifier in our living room, where we spend most of our time together as a family. I love that instead of just trapping the pollutants, it actually destroys them. It was so easy to set up, runs quietly and looks beautiful in our home.
