What These Air Purifiers Have In Common
Both air purifiers are high end, and have similar features. They both have a feature that monitors the quality of your air on an ongoing basis so you know when it’s time to change filters or turn off the unit for maintenance. The Nuwave Oxypure has this feature with their “NuSense” technology, whereas the Molekule Air Purifier uses what they call “Smart Sensors.”
The smart sensors in the Molekule model also tell you how much energy each filter saves during its lifetime; the Nuwave Oxypure doesn’t have any such information available from our research. Both can filter out particles that are smaller than 0.03 microns. The Molekule has a filter life of about 12 months, as same Nuwave Oxypure’s.
Their filters are washable but Nuwave’s replacement filters are cheaper.
The overall look and design for both models is similar as well; they’re sleek white boxes with a digital screen to show you how your air quality is currently rated out of 100%. The only difference we can see between the two samples in photos online would be size – one model may be taller and wider than another.
Both products have auto-timer features so you don’t forget to turn them off when not in use, different fan speeds for personalized settings based on your needs at any given time and remote control apps.
Both air purifiers do not emit ozone.
