Looking for a heavy-duty air purifier that can easily combat severe air pollution? Consider the Molekule Air Pro and Molekule Air Mini. These exceptionally powerful and technologically advanced air purifiers are among the handful of models cleared by the FDA as Class II medical devices. Thanks to a patented PECO technology, they can break down viruses, bacteria, mold spores and other airborne pollutants into water and harmless gases. The Molekule Air Pro and Mini do not just trap airborne pollutants; they destroy them, once and for all. The best part? You can now snap up these premium devices at a heavily reduced price at Macy’s.
The mighty Molekule Air Pro is now 21% off, bringing its price down by a solid $215, while its smaller and less powerful sibling Air Mini+ is 17% off, saving you a neat $60. We spotted the same deal at Amazon and a couple of other retailers just yesterday, but it has already sold out. Do not dwell too long on this offer from Macy’s, as we do not expect it to last long, either.
During our Molekule Air Pro review, we were particularly impressed by its ability to remove smoke. Every air purifier we test is subjected to smoke tests, where we burn 10 matches, then run the machine for 15 and 30 minutes on its auto setting. After just 15 minutes, the Molekule Air Pro removed a whopping 99.9% airborne particles. After 30 minutes, the air quality was better than when we started. Indeed, it is one of the most powerful appliances we have ever tested, which is why we gave it a strong 4/5 rating and a spot in our guide to the best air purifiers.
Robust air quality monitoring is another aspect in which Molekule tends to outshine the competitors. While most air purifiers use simple color-coded air-quality indicators, the Air Pro and Air Mini will tell you exactly how much pollution is in the air, breaking it down into volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (CO2), relative humidity and three separate categories of particulate matter (PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10). The Molekule app will then track the air quality over time, allowing you to identify any significant spikes and drops in the levels of specific air pollutants.
The Molekule Air Pro is both a real powerhouse of an air purifier and an ultra-robust air quality sensor — and right now, you can knock $215 off its original price.

Reviews consensus: The Molekule Air Pro universally impressed the reviewers with its exceptional air-cleaning performance, ultra-sleek design and handy smart features. Many testers also praised its robust air quality monitoring, portability and ease of use. However, none of the reviewers gave this air purifier a full five stars, citing its sky-high price, expensive filter replacements and noisiness at high fan speeds.
