Advantages: nice smell

Disadvantages: is it really needed?

Here's a bizarre idea. Too lazy to spray air freshener and think plug ins look ugly? Well here's a nice looking vase-like object that sprays air freshener at set intervals. Yes, for just £10 you can cash in on the latest gadget for a nice smelling house.

The design is nice in shape (very curvey and modern) but not so nice in colour (white with a green button). It looks like it belongs in a toilet, and not a sitting room.

Next up, the way it works. It sprays a mist of spray on a timer, which is always funny because it often scares the life out of people who happen to be near it when it goes off. My neighbour got shot in the eye with his which is one of the funniest things ever, but an interesting reminder that they have to be put in a careful place.

The smell is nice - fruity and fresh smelling, much like most other air fresheners. It's not overpowering or nasty in any way, and on its own as an odour it can't really be faulted.

They're ideal for putting in places that get regular use and bad smells (e.g. work toilet), but I just don't think anyone has enough need of them in their personal life to need to spray a scent around at regular intervals.

The spray can inside runs out after a couple of months and then they need replacing. At around £7 a pot, this is where ours lost its life and went into the cupboard.

All in all, I can see the appeal for industrial use, but for the home it just doesn't make sense to me.

Summary: don't bother

Got one of these and the noise it makes every time it goes off makes everybody jump! It does smell nice but it is a bit of a gimmick x
