Product Review: Don't Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
This product is not worth buying.. It does the job of making the air more pleasant however the built quality is terrible... it is made of weak plastic material that breaks after a couple of month of use and changes color. also the led lights got burnt after on 2 month of use, mine has only 1 working led light. If you are looking for a similar product try searching for something else .. Once more don't buy..
Product Review: Don't Buy It!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This product was advertised to remove 99% of smells in the house... smoke being the one I was concerned about because I'm a smoker. I only smoke 4-5 cigarettes a day and this product FAILED!!! I gave away my last air purifier because I was tired of buying filters. I had a Rainbow vaccuum cleaner and was swept away at the thought of cleaning the air with water, but this device does not "clean" any air. It just throws scent into the air. I am very disappointed and wish I had not given away my real air purifier. Probably would work for people who don't smoke, but I wish I had not purchased this unit. My score is 1 star. Disappointed.Product Review: Effective air freshener. Good Essential Oil diffuser.
Summary: 4 Stars
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 disburse essential oils without having to use heat, nebulizers just seem way too strange and complicated to me.
My wife thought the citrus scent was a little overpowering so I experimented a little and came up with a fairly good recipe for using essential (fragrance) oils. My recipe will only freshen up the air in the room it is in, not the whole house (I don't know how they get that strong of a scent from the supplied material).
I borrowed/modified this from a perfumers recipe for making a spray-able air freshener with essential oils.
1/4 teaspoon Polysorbate 80 (an emulsifier derived from natural oils). You can get this from a soap maker's supply store.
30-60 drops essential oils, some oils are stronger, experiment for the best amount for your choice. I used 30 drops of pine needle oil and that worked fine for me.
1 tablespoon of cheap vodka (for low smell alcohol). This is optional but I found the oil's scent was more intense with it.
Mix the ingredients with a few ounces of water and add to the water to the freshener's filled tank. You will see the familiar white bloom in the water as you add this mixture.
Have fun!

Product Review: Ehhh!! :\
Summary: 1 Stars
My sister bought this for me last Christmas. I really thought that this was going to smell like... ya know.... like the 3 scents that it came with ( VANILLA, ORANGE, LIME).. but it doesn't.... it smells like PINE PINE AND PINE!!!! No matter what fragance you use, they all smell like PINESOL. I don't mind if I'm moppig the floor and I get that scent..cause hey that's the scent that I'm using. But if I'm expecting an orange scent then that's the scent that I should be smelling, but I'm not. Overall the product is eh!! I mean it has a pretty blue light that looks nice as the machine is doing it's thing but that's about it. Once the machine is off the water tends to look dirty ( even though I only have it for less than 10 minutes). It's not worth the $60 bucks she paid for it. You're better off getting one of those airwick automatic sprays or just lighting a candle if you want to get rid of odors. My overall opinion...IT STINKS!!!Product Review: Eliminated Pet Odor In Basement
Summary: 5 Stars
Great air cleaner at a great price. It was the only thing that eliminated the pet odor in the basement. To clear the pet odor I added a very small amount of Nature's Miracle to the water. After a few days running the unit with this solution the pet odor was gone. It performed better than a $400 air cleaner and other air cleaners I purchased. So far adding the Nature's Miracle to the water has not harmed the unit. However, if you try adding anything other than what is recommended by the manufacturer then you do so at your own risk. After spending over $1,000 trying to rid my basement of the pet odor I was desperate to try it. So far it has worked wonders for me.
