Product Reviews of Homedics BRT-150 Brethe Air Revitalizer
Product Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I was expecting it to clean the dust and air out of the room. It seems to me that it is simply a aromatherapy machine.
I returned it.
Product Review: Does a lot for such a small machine!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw the infomercial about Brethe, and while it looked interesting, I have to admit that I was skeptical. I ended up picking one up while at BB&B, and I was VERY impressed with the way it wiped out odors, and quickly!
Our basement gets kind of stinky because we keep the litter boxes down there, and since the cats have to get down there to do their business, we can't close the door. Obviously, we don't want the litter box smell traveling through the rest of the house. I put the Brethe unit on a countertop in the basement with some of the citrus scent, and within 5 minutes, I could tell a HUGE difference!
We bought a second unit to use in our bedroom (helps with my asthma at night), and we keep the first one running non-stop in the basement. No more stinky litter box odor!
Product Review: Does get rid of smells, not a humidifier
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this to place near a litterbox and it did seem to work quite well for getting rid of the smell. However, there are things I don't like about the unit.
First, the included scents. They all smell fake to me and can be very overpowering if you put in too much. (I normally LOVE a vanilla scent, but I didn't want to be in the same room with it when it was running.) That said, I have tried running it without any of the scents, and it does still appear to take smells out of the air.
Second, the blue light can't be totally turned off. Yes, you can technically turn off the blue light that lights up the entire basin, but there is still a ring of blue light around the power button that you might not want in your bedroom at night.
Third, while it is kind of quiet, again, you might not want it in your bedroom unless you like white noise.
Fourth, I don't think this unit can be called a humidifier. Yes, it does use water (you have to refill it every 2-3 days) but in those 2-3 days it only maybe uses a cup or two of water. So, SOME water is getting into the air, but not like a dedicated humidifier.
I have moved the unit around the house and it does seem to do a good job. I recommend if you are interested in this and have a Bed Bath & Beyond locally, that you go there to check out the scents first. I am headed back today to see if they have a "clean" or "rain" scent that might be less overpowering or sickeningly sweet than the vanilla, lime, and citrus.
Product Review: Does what it says it does !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product, it works exactly like it said it would the only thing I would say is get your own oils the ones that come with it are good but I think you can find better. but all in all I love itProduct Review: Don't Bother
Summary: 1 Stars
You will waiste your money if you buy this. It is no more than a glorified fifty dollar air freshner. If you expect anything else from this product you will be disappointed. However, if you want a high priced different looking air freshner that can flood your home with scents in minutes this is the product for you.
