Effective air freshener. Good Essential Oil diffuser.,

This review is from: Homedics BRT-150 Brethe Air Revitalizer (Health and Beauty)
If the price of the unit and scent accessories was lower I would have given five stars.
The supplied scents do a good job of 'freshening' (actually scenting) the air throughout most of my 1500 square foot house.
The fan noise is noticeable, I usually run it five or ten minutes at a time to achieve the same effect as spraying an aerosol air freshener. The blue lights in the tank are good for a 'mood' effect and can be switched off if desired. If you just want to 'tune out' for a few, this thing is excellent. My spouse smokes cigarettes several times a day and the BRT-150 does a good job of covering up the odor from a cigarette.
I would not say that this unit is a humidifier. It will run for three or four hours continuously and maybe only use a cup of water. I would also not call this unit an air cleaner as such. It is an effective air freshener. The air coming out just smells and feels good.
I, honestly, purchased the BRT-150 so that I could...Read more

It works - I'm not sure why, but it does. The water will even appear dirty when you empty it. And it looks cool. The problems are...
- it's loud. not really loud, but somewhere between my computer and my dishwasher.
- the smell is too powerful when you first fill it and fades after just a few hours.
- it'll help oders for up to 24 hours. You have to dump and refill it (water + a few drops of the scent) every day and rinse every few days.

Smells Great - but Loud! ...,
October 11, 2007 R. Rochester - See all my reviews
This review is from: Homedics BRT-150 Brethe Air Revitalizer (Health and Beauty)
This unit does exactly what it says it will (+ humidifies), tho I use essential oils (as suggested by another reviewer) in mine instead of the not to pleasant smelling to my nose (plus expensive) scents Homedics sells ... In Autumn to Thanksgiving I use Clove, Cinnamon, Orange and Pumpkin Spice oils and the aroma is great ... I used Black Spruce oil during the Christmas holidays (3 drops in this unit will make your home smell like Canadian Balsam) ... The only drawback is the loudness of the motor (which is conciderably louder than a computer), but it does the job and so I'll keep it ... Oh, and it's also suggested that you use distilled water (not hard tap water) which is not mentioned in the commmercials ... (***ADDED NOTES: Tho essential oils provide a nicer room aroma, the dark oils (such as clove, cinnamom, etc) will chemically react to plastic resevoir and irrevocably mar/stain it ... If you don't care like me it's fine, if you do don't use them ... I also use fragrance oils as...Read more
