Waterpik Sonic-Fusion 2.0 White is the world's first flossing electric toothbrush, now new and improved with up to 2X the bristle tip speed vs. the original Sonic-Fusion. Now you can brush, water floss, or both with the touch of a button! Waterpik water flosser technology is built into the advanced sonic toothbrush to deliver a complete clean in one step. Tested and trusted, Waterpik is the #1 water flosser brand recommended by dental professionals. Sonic-Fusion 2.0 offers 3 cleaning modes: brush, floss, or brush + floss together and 2 toothbrush speed settings, high and low. The sonic toothbrush cleans the surfaces of your teeth while the water flosser in the center of the brush head cleans between teeth and below the gumline where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Waterpik Sonic-Fusion 2.0 combines the power of a sonic toothbrush with the proven effectiveness of a Waterpik water flosser. Switch from brushing to flossing with ease. From the first brand in its class accepted by the American Dental Association (ADA) for safety and effectiveness, Waterpik Sonic-Fusion 2.0 electric toothbrush and water flosser removes up to 99.9% of plaque and is clinically proven up to 50% more effective than string floss for improving gum health and comes with a three-year warranty.

PROS:
• Novel design that offers options for user to BRUSH ONLY, FLOSS ONLY or BRUSH & FLOSS simultaneously.
• Novel design that offers options for user to BRUSH ONLY, FLOSS ONLY or BRUSH & FLOSS simultaneously.
• Initially had apprehensions because a less sophisticated competitor did not afford the range of adjustments for flow rate of the flossing water that’s available with the WATERPIK model.
• The water flow on the competitor’s model was so high that my gums felt stung by the high impact of the water. Moreover, the other model was only a flosser, not a two action (brush & floss) in one brush head deal.
• At the lowest point on the dial, the WATERPIK affords a very low and gentle water flow so the user can turn up the volume for higher impact flossing to ‘tolerance’ after getting comfortable with handling the tool.
• As well, the WATERPIK brush function has a high and low setting.
• Due to the range of adjustments, integrating the brush with the floss function was an unexpectedly easy transition.
• I have a countertop water filter that delivers ionized water: acid, alkaline and purified. Using the negatively ionized water in the WATERPIK unit gives me a deeper cleaning than purified water only.
• But any mouth wash or similar dental hygiene product can be used as the flossing liquid.
• When I found my teeth were sensitive to the flossing impact of chilly water, I now warm up my water just a tad before starting a brush and floss session.
• I use the WATERPIK as a complement to daily electronic brushing and flossing with essential oils such as peppermint, spearmint, wintergreen (when dowsed positive).
• Bottomline, I liked the extreme fresh mouth results so much that, next day, I used the ½ OFF Coupon Code to purchase a second, larger brush head at the WATERPIK online store.
• The multi-tasking brush and floss solution helps all who are 'dental hygiene resistant' to up their plaque elimination game, especially great for those who find flossing near impossible.
CONS:
• Though the tool is one giant step for humanity, disappointed that when the battery dies, the unit must be trashed in order to recycle the battery.
• You literally must crack open the bottom of the brush handle to remove the battery. Consumers could use a battery range data point as one might get with an EV. As well, an EMF data point is useful for those who are sensitive to electromagnetic fields.
• Among a litany of other personal and household tools, electric toothbrushes should allow easy battery removal and replacement.
• During our green initiative to mitigate global warming, corporations should be leaders in post-consumer waste management. Protecting the buyer’s ‘Right to Repair’ reduces waste and eliminates the microaggression of transparent ‘planned obsolescence’.
• When I experience durable longevity in a product, I become a loyal brand ambassador with lots of promotional good will to share.

From the start, this food prep device is super user friendly!
You will mostly know what to do without reading the manual.
Nonetheless, no matter how smart you think you are about set up of new appliance, there might be a small trick that'll ruin your day if you don’t take the time.

After so many blenders in my life, my first take was generally correct but happy that I read up on a couple of the unit’s peculiar details.
Out the box, I washed all containers and lids that are, thankfully, branded PBA FREE.
Out the box, I washed all containers and lids that are, thankfully, branded PBA FREE.
One important direction worthy of reading is that you must not clean the Power Pod with spray cleaners or liquids. The Power Pod should only be wiped clean with a cloth. Warranty is voided if you damage the electronics with liquids.
An even more important observation is, when compared to a competitor I have used, though the manual asks that liquids not be allowed in the top of the Power Pod, there is NOT an obvious open channel that is easily exposed to splashing liquids.
In competitor designs, the open channel eventually allows the unit to get clogged, requiring a really weird clean out trick to get a reboot that many may not research.
By contrast, the NINJA NUTRI-BLENDER design is a real effort to protect the consumer from gunking up the Power Pod mechanism. The unit is more sealed than the ‘others’. Applause to R&D for the upgrade that first timers won’t appreciate without basis for comparison!
BTW, avoid injury by maintaining mindful vigilance when handling the Pro Extractor Blade Assembly.
So far, all small blenders of this ilk expose the user to injury by blade.
My cleaning method is to hold the plastic mount upon which the blades sit, rub the blades with a soapy sponge or just hot water spray the blades down with your sink’s water gun. Sticky blades haven’t happened so far for me but a spritz of hydrogen peroxide easily releases gunk, brush with dish detergent then hot power wash with the sprayer gun. Done&done!

FYI, everything but the Power Pod base claims dishwasher safe; but can't report since I don't use one.
My first round was a smoothie, but I took note of the fully loaded, high gloss Recipe Book's ingredient stacking instructions:
• room temp ingredients at the bottom
• leafy greens next
• then liquids or yogurt-like textures
• followed by dry powders, nut butters, seeds, sticky stuff
• topped by hard items like frozen ingredients i.e., ginger, fruits, etc.
I capped the tall cup with the blade assembly then upside down onto the base for a high-powered pulse first (since layered hard stuff is now closest to the motor) then a continuous blend until ingredients are liquified.
Found that, unlike competitors in this space, the NUTRI-BLENDER design engages the user, so you do not start the blender, leave it running then overheat the engine. Has never happened to me; but, if you inadvertently overheat the unit while holding the cup down on the Power Pod, a troubleshooting reset gives you a reprieve after a 15-minute cool down.

This appliance requires an interactive, hands-on operation:
The preparer remains engaged with the process.
You must hold down the cup for the time required to thoroughly pulse then blend the ingredients.

No doubt, I was impressed that the motor of such a compact, lightweight, easily maneuvered unit handily liquifies frozen, rock-hard ginger, mounded frozen fruit, my protein powder blend, coconut milk, and stevia without a hitch.
As a smoothie nut, NINJA's got the torque I'm lookin' for.
Though pleased with product performance, I will call NINJA to verify the level of watts for future reference: The box says 900 watts while the Technical Specs on page 2 of the manual indicates 700 watts.
Maybe the proofreader dropped the ball?

Also, the logic seems odd on page 10 of the instruction:
"Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt", an item that requires more clarification 'in my book'. Seems liquid from melting ice is the same as liquid intentionally added to the cup.

Registration via their QR Code is snappy faster than most.
Warranty is for one (1) year but, interestingly, not good for "products purchased, used, or operated outside North America", so watch your "P's & Q's".
Also, a steep $20.95 to return a repaired unit is the consumer’s expense.
Overall, great bang for the buck for a blender that can be used for more than smoothies i.e. the recipe book has inspirations for ‘Extracts’.

Love the portability for those who have weak hands and arms and can't shake supplement powders hard enough to blend into liquids.
Not powerful enough for the 'big, thick smoothie' addicts who love to blend ice with nuts, nut butters, frozen fruits, hard ginger, dense carob or fruit concentrates.
Manual list warnings clearly:
No frozen foods
No ice
No hot liquids
Not microwavable
No frozen foods
No ice
No hot liquids
Not microwavable
Though many don't like the recommendation, drinking liquids near room temperature is easier on the digestive process.
For optimal performance and based on usage, the manual suggests replacing blades every 6 months.
FAQs at website state PBA Free.
In light of consumer concerns about plastic containers leaching chemicals into foods, BPA Free should be front and center on the packaging, in the manual, and at the website.

On receipt, the base that holds the blade needs about 3 hours to fully charge via USB cord to your laptop or charge adapter.
You get about a 30 second run time.
Instructions warn not to run beyond 1-minute.

Re: Model 536EA
Since I had previous experience with an older CHROMEBOOK by another manufacturer, I have a basis for comparison.
Out the box, GOOGLE handily populated my new unit with my Apps, so no work there.
For CHROMEBOOK, gotta be tied into GOOGLE with your G Mail account for cloud bennies and multitude of APPS.

I found the ASUS machine at over 4lbs slightly heavier than the previous version owned.
But the charging adapter is much lighter and a fraction of the size of any laptop or cpu adapters I have had.
To some, the orientation of the adapter when plugged into a surge protection strip might seem a small detail but important to me because it does not block two outlets.
With the dearth of so many electronics in our lives that adjustment is great for outlet hungry consumers.
The system is a snappy fast CORE i3 even with a long list of windows open and multiple apps running.
And, battery affords over 5 hours of work, play and streaming capacity without range anxiety.
Really important is the ENERGY STAR rating since its carbon footprint reduction time.

A big plus is that the QWERTY layout now includes a NUMERICAL keypad which affords more expedited calculations than my previous model.
The structural engineering of the system’s rugged exterior in a white high gloss with a flat black matte finished keyboard.
Running fingers across the interior surface and touch pad is velvety smooth silence, no drag.
Keys respond with backlighting only when touched, saving the battery.

For anyone new to CHROMEBOOK and all of us new to an updated version, the manual is so thin since on opening the lid, a tutorial walks through the nooks and crannies of operation.
A favorite feature of CHROMEBOOK is that TOUCH SCREEN is always on, no activation required.
The most super versatile feature is the 360 degree flippable 15.6” display to be totally in landscape OR portrait for tablet mode, tent top or laptop mode.

Unlike the less convenient PC, another CHROMEBOOK favorite is the option to manage sound levels via the keys across the top, especially handy when multi-tasking between the phone, youTube, Zooms, chores, et al
And, since I alternate between a PC and CHROMEBOOK, I noticed some movement into an integrated standard platform.
I used to shift my typing and scrolling habits respectively and would be nudged into the shift by a typing mistake when I would forget what system I was using.

Now, in the ASUS system, I do not have to use two fingers to scroll...a big relief.
Thankfully another design integration between PC and CHROMEBOOK is finding a DELETE key in a usually PC location on the QWERTY keyboard i.e. in the upper right-hand corner.
But, if you are a PCer, a key combo for CAPS LOCK is still required.
Having to monitor only one PC habit (that’s incompatible with CHROMEBOOK) out of three is still a great help.
Having to monitor only one PC habit (that’s incompatible with CHROMEBOOK) out of three is still a great help.
On the other hand, if you were not switching between the two systems, the above-described issues would be moot points, especially if all you know is CHROMEBOOK.
Looks like to create space for a NUMERICAL KEYPAD, the ON/OFF and SIGN OUT keys were eliminated and became ICONS.
Click the WIFI in the tray (bottom right side) for ON/OFF as well as a host of other TOOLS and the SETTINGS Gear.
Great connection options: 1 HDMI Port, 1 USB Port, 1 SD Card Port, 1 Audio Headset Port and
CHROMEBOOK’s “ambidextrous” CHARGE ports i.e. one on each side so reorienting the unit to plug in NOT required.

Bottom-line, good deal for the money = 11th Gen i3, 8GB ram, 128GB SSD, 1920x1080 clarity plus Harman/Kardon sound.
Hadn’t seen the PHONE HUB in CHROMEBOOK before, allowing notifications from PHONE to CHROMEBOOK, great for responding to TEXTS, etc
Moreover, CHROMEBOOK=high security i.e. no malware, no viruses with low interference updates.

Just love this novel option to ear canal buds!
Earbuds perched on glasses makes an awful lot of sense.
So many times I have gotten weary of the conventional earbuds.
When too much exposure to earbuds would make my ears canal feel itchy and/or fatigued, I would have to remove them earlier than intended.
Also, I have had too many close calls, almost losing wireless earbuds while working out or just being stumble bum.
Buds On A Frame…What genius!
Though start up is easy and intuitive, best to read the manual.
Learning about the subtle details before setup will eliminate any setbacks.
Connecting the dual headed charging cord is made super easy by magnetized connectors.
Don’t fret if your eyeglass frames are too thin for the RIGHT and LEFT audio units to get a stable grip.
At the bottom of the amply sized drawstring case for the unit and accessories, find two sets of expansion cuffs.
The cuffs afford frames of different widths the girth required for a secure and stable attachment of the units.
And, without direct contact to my ear canal, the new bud design gets me optimal use of an 8+ hour charge while working or exercising with my eye gear, indoors and out.
Free from ear canal woes, one button on each unit delivers a wide range of controls, used together or independently; so, you can share audio with a sunglass wearing friend without fear of sharing inner ear microbes (though we must remain vigilant while pandemic and all potentials for infection loom).
Microchip capabilities these days are quantum.
For L and R sides, one button = on/off and a multitude of additional features: volume up/down, play/pause, track fwd/bkwd/ answer/ call reject with a JLAB BASS Boost, respectively.
The unit gets high marks for audio performance, ingenuity, portability, charge time and expansion options.
I would only want more of the teeny-weeny frame cuffs that give the audio units a padded surface to grip. JLAB will get a call since I already need more cuffs for the variety of eyeglass gear I wear.
Though the unit’s packaging is handsome and rugged, unboxing the unit from a tight fit takes time if you want to avoid rend’n tear.

Circadian Optics is a maker of bright light therapy lamps that mimic daylight. Our designer lamps allow you to get the light you need, right at your desk. We designed this lamp to be an accent piece.

The OPTIC has been a god send, a satisfying solution that has done more than consolidated and deepened my sleep cycle.
Following consistent morning use of the lamp, sleep has been uninterrupted all week when previously I would awaken at 3 or 4am, more times than not.
Though I have been working on sleep issues for over 40 years and incremental improvements have been made with the addition of homeopathics, botanicals, and other selfcare rituals, the CIRCADIAN OPTIC has afforded a quantum leap in solidifying my sleep.
Having the lamp nearby on awakening is especially useful for establishing continuity in exposure to a morning light source.
In the past, shades installed for privacy and for darkening the bedroom for sleep usually undermine my ability to get the intense light needed on awakening to stabilize my circadian cycle without having to inconveniently stand at a window.

With the OPTIC, I can get the light exposure while attending to other selfcare rituals and organizational details without having to break my flow to get to a window.
Moreover, I can get bright daylight exposure even on the darkest cloudy and/or rainy days.
Since I rarely get out for a jog or commune with nature until sunset, I always bemoan having missed the most therapeutic light of the morning sun.

I now have a sense of accomplishment about supporting my sleep pattern, one of the most important intentions as I strive for optimal balance.
While attempting a daily calibration to keep my vision close to 20/20, an unexpected benefit occurred.
On my first 45-minute exposure to the OPTIC light at the highest setting, I looked up at my eye chart to check my vision to find that I could see the smallest font on the last line of the chart.
That moment reminded me that scholarly research indicates that day light exposure to the cones and rods of the visual system can improve focus.
A less awe-inspiring side note is that the lightweight unit is super easy to unbox.
As well, the manual is graphically pleasing, easy to read with a nice hand.
Not least, comforting that the warranty is a solid two years.
CONS:
I have an ongoing internal debate about the light switch.
On the one hand, I like the low, medium, high options of light intensity.

On the one hand, I like the low, medium, high options of light intensity.
The switch is novel, touch sensitive and flush with the surface of the unit.
By contrast, the switch’s position at the top of the unit means the light gets unintentionally turned on and off during relocation. Maybe the switch should be on or near the base since ‘most’ users may pick it up from the top, something a survey or focus group could determine.
Or maybe the switch should be one that requires a rocker style solution.
Or maybe the switch should be one that requires a rocker style solution.
Also, another tiny design issue is the orientation of the adapter. The plug covers two outlets on my surge protector. I appreciate appliances with large adapters that are oriented perpendicular to the surge protector strip. What might seem a minor issue is indeed a real one for those of us who suffer a dearth of electrical outlets.
For the product’s next iteration, a more thoughtful design might be to adjust the adapter’s orientation to prevent the consumer from losing access to an outlet, a precious commodity in an old house not wired for our multitude of electronics.
Since the source of sleep issues can be poly systemic, the guide could note that adding the “OPTIC Ritual” to your day is just one potential that may or may not fully restore balance to an abused circadian cycle.
Everyone is different so best not to put all expectations in one basket. But, if a small improvement is noticed, smart to build on the progress by exploring other potentials for sleep hormone disruption such as environmental toxins, lectins against blood type, PTSD, etc.

As well, resources might be added to help the consumer explore other complements to the OPTIC for circadian cycle restoration.
Additionally, the guide could elaborate on the benefit of light stimulation to the visual system.
SUMMARY
Overall, the unit is a homerun for those of us who are struggling to reclaim dependable sleep hygiene while living within architecture and work styles not designed to afford the sunlight that our bodies require.

Blueair - DustMagnet 242 sq ft Smart Silent Air Purifier - White
Designed for a life with less cleaning, the DustMagnet 5210i air purifier catches 99% of airborne dust before it settles on floors and surfaces. Independently tested for performance as part of the AHAM Verifide Program for room air cleaners, for a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 154 cfm for smoke, 173 cfm for pollen, and 153 cfm for dust. Recommended for small to medium rooms like a guest bedroom, home office, or dining room, the 5210i completely filters room air about every 12 minutes (approx. 5x an hour at 238 ft) on the highest speed. Patent-pending DustMagnet technology powerfully attracts airborne dust particles like a magnet. Two air intake points and a unique airflow pattern create a vortex effect in the room to capture dust before it settles. A stream of negatively charged particles clusters airborne dust particles, making them easier to capture. Once inside, the particles stick to the positively charged pre-filters like a magnet. Equipped with HEPASilent™ filtration technology to kill germs and effectively trap 99.97% of airborne particles like allergens, dust, pollen, pet dander, viruses, and more down to 0.1 microns. Plus, activated carbon is integrated throughout the filters to absorb light household odors from cooking, smoke, and pets. Air purifier not tested against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). DustMagnet delivers more clean air using less energy and less noise. The 5210i quietly cleans the air with noise levels less than a whisper (29 dB) on low and less noise than a normal conversation (45 dB) on high – while using less energy than a light bulb (5-22 watts) on all speeds. Designed to blend into your home like a great looking piece of Scandinavian-style furniture, the dual-use design features a convenient top surface to double as a side table and air purifier. With a design worth showing off, there’s no need to hide your air purifier, place it prominently in the room where it will be most effective. DustMagnet is equipped with proactive features such as Auto mode, Welcome home, and a five-color air quality indicator light. Set to Auto mode and the air purifier will auto-increase fan speed when pollution levels creep up (when cooking, vacuuming, etc.) and returns to a lower speed when cleared. The Wi-Fi-enabled model can be controlled from almost anywhere with the Blueair app and voice-control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant-enabled devices. Includes one set of ComboFilters with a maximum of 1-year filter life and two permanent stainless-steel pre-filters.

BlueAir model #5210i
This model is easy to carry from room to room as needed.
I am hypersensitive to toxins and allergens; so, I put this air purifier to steady, regular use.

Though I would love it if repair adhesives and products were all revised into nontoxic formulas, but the world is just beginning to awaken to the damaging effects of hormone disruptors.
Nonetheless, when I must use shoe glues, wood strippers, floor polishers, etc, the Blue Air comes to the rescue by keeping the moving at a high speed through its filters.

To get the most optimal results, its best to keep the doors and windows closed to create a vacuum. So you know where you stand from start up to finish, the unit has an air quality indicator that gives you a status report:
^very polluted
^slightly
^moderate
^good excellent

Before operating, confirm that all filters are installed:
2 pre filters

With a manual or remote access by APP, you have the option to stay put with your book or task at hand when you want to eliminate any pollutants that may have crept into your space:
cigarette smoke from the adjacent apartment, vehicular emissions that have invaded the space thru open windows; animal companion emissions; cooking mishaps; or off gassing from recent window or carpet installations that lie beneath your awareness until right when you're comfortably snuggled in.

I don't like that product manufacturer doesn't like the consumer to use an extension cord. In an old house, most times I need a lengthy cord since outlets are fewer than in new homes built to support lots of electronics. In some cases, I have to 'watchfully' risk using extension cords until the heavy up gets done.
I found the warranty 411 at blueair.com/warrant
In my green book, great news that the parts are recyclable but inquire at your local transfer station.

I do like the unit's Wifi for adjusting and checking the status of various parameters.
I do like AUTO MODE that allows the purifier to adjust relative to the air quality.
The unit's top is a stable platform that might be viewed as a landing for drinks; but the manufacturer says 'don't do it'... No Liquids on Top!
Otherwise, the design is aesthetically workable in most any context.
Elevated on ~4.5" stilts, the unit is pleasing to the eye.

These days the introduction of electronics into any home turns most home environments into eclectic. Though white and styled as a sleek, modern, square silo, it fits unobtrusively into my farmhouse milieu.
Like the company's manual in French, English and Spanish, their offices are international as well: Sweden/Chicago/DubaiUAE/ Shanghai + Hong Kong China/
Overall, gotta solid value for a lightweight powerhouse.
I would recommend this to a friend!

During these Covid days, multi tasking means non stop Zoomin' to keep up with the educational, the inspirational and work details.
So, for my interests, the wired Skullcandy earbuds are handy to have as an option when I want to conserve the charge on my wireless buds used when more freedom of movement is required.
As relief from "range anxiety" about using up my wireless earbud charge, the Skullcandy unit is a plug'n play into my Chromebook for the multitude of back-to-back youTubes required to fix life's "endless breakage" and my host of other online provocations,
Skullcandy didn't break the budget, affording excellent audio quality for online videos, music and VOIP.
So far, only thumbs up feedback during online microphone sound checks.
Moreover, when transporting the laptop between rooms, the feather weight design allows me to keep the unit plugged in without worrying that I'll bust the charging port.
Thankfully, though the buds weren't snug out the box, I found the right fit in the range of bud covers securely packaged to mitigate fumbling the unwieldly nubs onto the floor.
A short guide illustrates simple push button controls.
And, for a wired set, the cord length is ample if not more generous than most of the competition.
Big value in a tiny portable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

CONS
To prevent scratching surfaces, rubber coating on the ends of the dumb bells could have been a great solution if not for their extremely troublesome off-gassing.
After unboxing, to detox the chemicals inhaled while moving the weights, I required rounds of expensive homeopathic and botanical drainage remedies.
The rate of emissions was so high and long lasting that I had to put the weights outside.
Over two days the 20 lb units were still off-gassing.
The designers need an education about the impact of chemicals on metabolic efficiencies.
Though the capacity for detox of pollutants is blood type dependent, TRU GRIT should protect the consumer from chemicals, metals and/or other toxins that bioaccumulate in fatty tissues such as the brain and other organs.
A high body burden of environmental toxins turns on genetic markers for a multiplicity of disease.
Neither the online advertising nor the packaging affords the buyer any warning.
Usually, by law, if a manufacturer is selling a harmful product, the consumer must be duly warned.
The brown corrugated box arrived mangled and without any product description.
The rubber smells worse than petroleum-based tire rubber.
As an informed consumer, I do not want products that shed VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in my home or near the porous skin and respiratory systems of my family.
Rising levels of harmful microbes and pollutants in our air, water and food are enough of a challenge without adding another culprit that diminishes health and longevity.
TRU GRIT, please have your R+D guys identify a non-toxic alternative coating for what otherwise is a superior build.

PROS
The MOLEKULE AIR PRO air purifier arrived extremely well boxed in recyclable, minimally inked corrugated cardboard. Marketing language on exterior packaging expresses high ideals on behalf of consumers.
MOLEKULE offers a range of price points and model sizes to accommodate a variety of room sizes and price points for those who find the AIR PRO model a reach.
Interestingly, documents are attached to the exterior of the AIR PRO box that have useful statistics for those who might need the highest level of the MOLEKULE technology for large applications such as nursing homes, gyms, medical and/or hospital applications, et al. Distributing the MOLEKULE data at the consumer level is a great way to inspire the decision makers at home based businesses as well as businesses of all sizes to consider air purification as another means to reduce the spread of Covid 19.
The company surprises the consumer with a luxurious special touch: Sunken into a white cotton duffle with handles and cinched at the top by a thick grey cord, the machine must be coaxed out of its 'gift' wrapping.
A wide, rugged leather handle affords easy transport of the Unit between locations within the home.
Unlike the industrial look of its competitors, the AIR PRO design is exquisitely modern and elevates any room with a touch of elegant high style. The tone of its sleek architecture is a value added spin for anyone seeking a contemporary aesthetic in a useful appliance.
Unlike competitors these days, the manual is printed on an ~ 7” square card stock. Silken to the touch, the font height is easy on the eyes as are the graphics.
The guide got me quickly through unboxing, removal of plastic from the filter as well the reseating of the unit's cap on to the filter for start-up.
Download of the APP for Android was trouble free as was my initial connection to Wifi.
I really like that the unit’s 360-degree air intake uses a laser driven particle sensor to measure the microbial load of a room.
With each startup, a tiered status report is displayed in the APP and/or in the Unit’s top mounted digital screen.
Track the readings in the APP or on the Unit’s round digital screen:

GREEN for Good/ YELLOW for Moderate/ RED for Bad/ PURPLE for Very Bad.
At initiation, the APP and the Unit’s digital screen indicated that my initial PM status in the bedroom was MODERATE on all levels.
After closing the bedroom doors then returning after an hour, the APP and the unit’s digital screen indicated the room’s PM had been reduced. My new status was upgraded to GOOD on all levels:
At initiation, the APP and the Unit’s digital screen indicated that my initial PM status in the bedroom was MODERATE on all levels.
After closing the bedroom doors then returning after an hour, the APP and the unit’s digital screen indicated the room’s PM had been reduced. My new status was upgraded to GOOD on all levels:
PM10 coarse particles, PM2.5 fine particles and PM1.0 microfine particles.
Since set up, I am pleased to announce that my sleep pattern has improved. Mid cycle awakenings by allergens affecting my respiratory system have disappeared.
To get a more dynamic reading of the Unit’s ability to clear PM, I moved the Unit to ‘kitchen duty’. I have a weak exhaust over my range; so, dehydration projects fill the house with the smell of spices, onions and garlic that I don’t want imbedded into curtains, carpet and upholstery. The Unit eliminated all dehydration odors within minutes to read GOOD on each PM Level. Likely that with a second Unit, I will not need a kitchen exhaust fan.
Not following my own good sense, I unleashed VOCs from car paint touch up applicators in the kitchen. The AIR PRO handily eliminated the fumes in several minutes.
At the APP and at the Unit, the user can scroll through options to adjust function from Auto Protect to Manual, view filter status, connect to Wifi, view product details such as Serial #, execute a reset, etc
The manual boasts technology that uses PHOTO ELECTRIC (UV Light), CHEMICAL and OXIDATION (PECO) to eliminate viruses, bacteria, pollen, animal dander, as well as VOCs, smoke, cooking odors.
The company states best in the field. So far, I see no other company using the PECO system.
Though the rate of air movement through the AIR PRO can be manually adjusted from Levels One to Six, in my environment, when the Unit operates at maintenance level in a previously cleaned space, the Unit’s decibel has been near imperceptible at Level One.
Level Six is the highest level. Used for rapid clearing of pollutants, Level Six has the sound of wind being forced through a tunnel.
When not being manually adjusted, the sound of the fan increases relative to the level of pollution that the Auto Protect fan is attempting to clear.
This is a subjective issue since everyone’s level of sensitivity to sound as with light and EMFs (electromagnetic fields) is different. Nonetheless, for sound reduction, choose the QUIET option.
If trying to eliminate blue light in the bedroom to deepen sleep, choose the DARK Mode to turn off the Unit’s UV light then reengage UV scrubbing during daytime hours.
The Unit has a MANUAL option if you need to disengage Wifi EMFs to deepen sleep or limit exposure at any time.
If hypersensitive to EMFs, sound or light, you can use the unit only as needed. Also, see the Radiation Exposure Statement at the back of the manual.
Since I am on an EMF reduction campaign to improve sleep, I turned off the Wifi and unplugged the Unit. Next morning at restart of the Unit, there was no change in the PM status. The room was still at PM level of GOOD. This reading lets me know that no ongoing source of pollution is generating a microbial load such as mold spores from the master bathroom.
I hold out hope that the need to dust will be reduced.
The literature says that the Unit is energy efficient. If on a Solar panel diet or to be exacting about energy conservation for any reason, you may want to use a kilowatt meter to track the Unit’s energy consumption 24/7 to evaluate the cost of your pattern of usage.
BTW, you may be able to get the kilowatt hour usage data at various fan speeds from MOLEKULE’s customer service then multiply that by your usage time and cost per kilowatt hour to project costs to inform your purchase.
For tax purposes, so far, I don’t see that the Unit is Energy Star Rated; but, leniency is in order if the certification process is anything like that of the organic food industry, long, arduous and expensive.
Warranty coverage is 2 years.
Bottomline, MOLEKULE air purification is a wise defensive strategy for home and health:
1) to eliminate indoor pollutants that emerge from furnishings and unwittingly from personal projects as well as
2) to eliminate pollutants that infiltrate from the outdoors such as smoke from woodburning and grilling neighbors as well as vehicular and industrial emissions, pollen and other threats to my immunity.
Having a poly-sytemic impact on the human body, heavy metals, chemicals, viruses, bacteria, mold, pollen, animal dander, etc can bioaccumulate over time turning on genetic markers for disease and premature death.
In addition to detox protocols to mitigate exposures, MOLEKULE is a useful tool in the mitigation of harmful levels of toxicity increasing in our air, water and food.
For example, women's breast milk has been determined to deliver a toxic load of chemicals to newborns. See Does Mother's Milk Transfer Environmental Toxins to Breast-Feeding Babies? - Scientific American

But, given the option to accept the added expense of the bag or pay less, I would have opted out on the bag to get a less demanding MSRP.
Occurs to me that a new basis for comparison will have to be designed to give the MOLEKULE a fair shake. Unfortunately, without the technical skills and tools, I was unable to conduct a comparative analysis with the smaller Honeywell units in other areas of my home.
Moreover, I was unable able to find a third-party platform that established a basis for comparison of the MOLEKULE to other units on the market in a manner that could not be manipulated. In other words, I could not trust demos by competitors with biased intentions.
Filter replacements can either be scheduled with an Auto Ship subscription or ordered as needed. Once the filter gets congested, the machine will briefly cycle on then off, reminding the user to make the purchase.
Preferable would be a filter design that does not require periodic replacement and expense.

Filters that can be cleaned at home frees the consumer from having to engage in subscription maintenance tasks and payments. These days almost every device and APP seeks endless attachment to the consumer’s bank account.
Since hypersensitive to chemical pollutants, I was concerned after reading that the unit might off gas odors from its new plastic housing when unboxed.
Since hypersensitive to chemical pollutants, I was concerned after reading that the unit might off gas odors from its new plastic housing when unboxed.
On reading that potential, I thought to put the unit outdoors at start up but lost focus and failed to protect my boundaries. Thankfully, the charcoal pad included in the packaging did a great job absorbing the odor. Any emissions that occurred beneath my awareness did not cause an allergic reaction.
The manual says the Unit “will be unable to detect their presence (to) automatically adjust the fan speed to remove them ‘(i.e. VOCs off-gassing from the Unit’s housing)’ ”. I am not clear why the Unit is unable to clear its own VOCs. The Unit cleared VOCs from glue fumes inadvertently released in my kitchen. Still wondering where the difference lies.

How long should the motor last? After cleaning my bottom row, the motor loses power. ♿
Sounds odd that your battery is not holding a charge long enough to finish a brushing. I would call Customer Service. You might need a new unit. The battery cannot be changed by the owner.

I always put warm water in the part for flossing but the water feels very cold when it goes into my mouth. Does anyone else have that problem?
Since my water ionizing filter requires cool water, I have to put my acid water in my hot shot for a little warm up before pouring the water into the WATERPIK carafe. Like you, my teeth are sensitive to cold.

I have a WNR1000 Netgear router. what can I replace it with?
I replaced my WNR1000 NETGEAR Router with the ASUS LYRA VOICE AC2200.
But, if you have a multi-level space, you will need to add as many ASUS Range Extender nodes as required to take advantage of the AMAZON ALEXA LYRA VOICE enabled units. So, you would want to be able to use that feature wherever you are in the house to request music, weather, traffic, make Amazon searches and orders, to receive status reports on deliveries, etc. If you have a small space, you may only need the one unit.

Printer with General Error 0x61011 beb
I am not going to send this printer to be repaired, and would like to turn it in to whomever that takes them. Does Best Buy do this? I also have three cartridges (940) for which they are still in the original packaging.
Take it back to the Best Buy Customer Service asap. Bring your receipt. There is a 14 day policy for returns; but, revisit the parameters on your receipt.
