2 SHIRLEY FROST  · This thing is Horrible wouldn't recommend ot at all. Don't last. Change batteries still nothing
1 Dan N  · Can't open refills – This is a POS. Don't buy the unit or you'll frustrate yourself trying to open the refills
1 Peter B.  · What a piece of rubbish – Opening the oil bottle is impossible without cutting the cover off - resulting in a hand injury, then the defuser is poor quality

The cap on the refill bottles are impossible to get off. My hands are red, raw and peeling off and I have a very serious cut from trying to get the cap off. Please for your own health and safety don’t but this

Esentialy not worth the money – Was excited to get this home after purchase, but was so disappointed that no one could smell any scent, so I purchased a different mist option to find this was the same, the orange scent for my third purchase was better but the price of the mists at £5.00 each every week, as that was as long as I was getting before the machine flashed telling me… Read more

once again the mist bottle was empty. For the money I haven't found this product all it was cracked up to be. Very very disappointed and pockets a whole lot lighter. Not happy not impressed in the slightest.

Unable to open refill bottle!! – Is there a special knack to opening the refill bottle. I have purchased the Airwick essential mist for the first time and after struggling for hours to open the refill bottle I have had to cut the cap off which was also very difficult and resulted in a cut finger. Show details

The Cap is a real pain – Some caps come of freely then some are stubborn, my wife and I have cuts trying to remove the seal. Never had a cap that at times is impossible to remove. Please sort this I’d be interested how many lnjuries from trying to release the cap.

Works Great – I own a few of these. One of them is 3-4 years old. Never had an issue with any of them, they all work fine. They last longer than the plug in ones, and don't have the annoying noise of the spray ones. Show details

Enjoy this product – I like this product because you can put it anywhere and you don't need water. I use it in my office, most of the day on a low setting. I also use rechargeable batteries with it. Also, I see people not liking the scents offered. So, make your own. Just carefully pull out the wick, put in what you like (no, I don't use water in it), put the… Read more

wick back in and voila, you have your own scent. That's what I do. Has been working great for quite a few months now.

Like the product – Like the product and everything about it. Like the shape, all choices of smell are really nice and the mist adjustment very easy to use. Price reasonable especially when the product is on sale. I would recommend Air Wick essential mist for any household. Show details

Impossible to open the refill bottle – It is absolutely impossible to open the refill bottles. 5 different adults have been trying to get the cap off this bottle for days now with no success and multiple minor injuries. I'm going to toss the whole lot in the bin and buy a different brand. It's a real shame too, because the scent is lovely and the mist is subtle and not at all overpowering like some air fresheners can be. Show details

Avoid!! – Like everyone else so dissapointed with these and such a waste of money! The refill bottle tops don't come off and this is the second one I've purchased with the same issue. Absolute junk and if you do get a refill bottle you can use it doesn't last long even on the lowest setting in the diffuser. Now I'm stuck with these crap machines and no way to refill them!! Rubbish! Show details

Never worked at all – Opened a new unit and installed the batteries and bottle. Very simple to do if you have an IQ. The unit never turned on and I thought it may have been the batteries. Batteries all tested good. The unit is not getting power and I'm not going to pull it apart to repair it. Poor quality control is my best guess. I'm tired of repairing new things that should be working to begin with.

Can’t use as we can’t open oil bottle. Not worth a 1 star – Read all the reviews. Not worth buying as you can’t use oil bottle without attacking it and potentially injuring yourself. A waste of money Show details

Why did they all stop working just days apart – I purchased 8 of the dispensers and now none of them will release the scent. Less than a year. Can I get 8 for free. Show details

Another Air Wick flop – I cannot believe I have bought another Air Wick product!! Not one of the many I have purchased over the years have lasted or done what they were advertised to do. Purchased their latest “Essential Mist” three days ago for $30 which included essential oil & batteries- purchased another oil as they were on special for $5.35. Easy to set up - bonus -… Read more

because that is the only positive thing. Placed on medium setting on kitchen bench while I prepared dinner & only noticed two “puffs” during that time. After 24 hours of not noticing it working & no perfume smell I put on highest setting to try & get more of a fragrance, absolute waste of time. The perfume oil is very subtle and released spasmodically in a mist lasting approximately 5 seconds. After two & a half days of not noticing it working & no obvious perfume smell I sat for over an hour, eyes focused on the top waiting for the “blue light & puff” indicating the release of fragrance & in that time there was one puff & that was only when I switched off then back on before I started my experiment. There is nothing wrong with the batteries, the bottle of oil is inserted correctly & there is no way I missed a puff as I didn’t take my eyes of it. I read the review from Sandra & she is correct, the only way I could get a puff was to put dial on low then highest after that it simply does not work, which I have now proved. I am returning the dispenser & the spare oil I purchased to my supermarket & will never ever purchase another Air Wick product again.

WASTE OF MONEY – These Air Wick Essential Mist Starter Kit will run you over $10 with taxes and it's a waste of money. I have purchased two of these Air Wick Essential Mist Starter Kit and the first kit didn't work so I had to return it back to the store. The second one worked for about 2 days and it stopped working. I'm not happy with these products and I personally don't think I will purchase another Air Wick product again! Show details

Expensive and fail too quickly – These are not the cheapest around and whilst they smell nice, they don’t last. I have had two. now and neither lasted more than six months. Would never buy again. Show details

This is a waste of money – Does not work as it says it does. I can't smell the scent unless I am very close to it. This has been a waste of money. I do not recommend.  Show details

Most expensive cheap diffuser! – The unit works well and the refills smell lovely. However the Battery life is terrible. Replacing three Duracell batteries that are required every month is just Ridiculously expensive to drive such a small unit.  Show details

Very Disappointed – Purchased one of these essential Mist, and 2 refills and followed the instructions exactly, set it, and the next day the bottle of essential oil was gone. I thought it was a fluke, so I started over, reread the instructions ( thinking maybe I did something wrong),and the next day, the same thing, the bottle was empty. It smelled great, but what a waist of money, I think there was something wrong with the unit. Very Disappointed in AIR WICK! Show details

Forever changing batteries!! – Very disappointed i thought it was great at first, once I changed batteries it was never the same, such a shame as I think this could have been a great oil diffuser

Glad I read the reviews – I was thinking of buying one of these, but so glad I read these reviews. They keep coming out with these products, what happened to quality control before producing, marketing and selling these useless items. I already spend to much on batteries.

Love it but hate it – I love the lavender and almond blossom fragrance. But the mist diffusers only work fora few months. Then even replacing the batteries regularly doesn't help. It just quits working. Buy a diffuser, does the same thing and lasts longer. Show details

No thank you – I’ve had to change batteries three time for ONE bottle of mist. It’s still 3/4 full but I give up. Good concept but just doesn’t work. Would not purchase again.
