That’s incredible that it stops an asthma attack for you! ---

Asthma is the main reason the machine was developed. “The original technology was designed by Dr. Yogi Goswami while at the University of Florida, with the intention to alleviate his son’s debilitating asthma and allergies”. ---

The Wirecutter review compared the Molekule to HEPA air filtration systems. They refused Molekule’s offer to send them equipment to test the PECO capabilites. So I think Wirecutter was really comparing apple to oranges and saying the apples lacked that citrusy flavor. Check the [research papers at molekule.com](https://molekule.com/papers) to see what the various labs that _did_ test the PECO reported. For example the [study from the Lawrence Berkeley lab](https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5mt139k5). If you want a HEPA filter there are many less expensive models available (we use Coways at home and work) but the Molekule does something HEPA cannot. So we have both. ---

[Latest on air purifier settlement.](https://www.airpurifiersettlement.com) Personally I like our Molekule and think is really does provide a better environment. We’ve had ours over a year now. ---

Always hope stuff like this doesn’t cause companies I rely on to go bankrupt. Would be stuck with an $800 paper weight if they stopped selling replacement filters. [Previous page](https://www.twit.community/t/molekules-claims-are-fake/5965.md?page=2)
