Simple yet pretty efficent! I wanted this last year for christmas, I did not get it. I saw it in a Walgreens ad this year, and thought about it again. We bought one tonight. This system works by a plastic piece that comes down from the top and "swirls" the water around and pulls it kinda like a fan and tornado all in one. The "swirling" tornado affect causes the water to drip around the sides like rain. Air is pulled in through one side on the top, circulates through the water and then comes back out the other side. Once the air goes through the water the water is suppose to remove odors and odor causing bacteria in the air. The system comes with 3 scents, vanilla, lime, and citrus. I typically like vanilla scent, but after putting it in the system it reminded me of a unpleasant smelling vanilla cleaning product! I also feel that the citrus might be the same. The lime seems like it might be o.k., but have not tried it yet. They definatly need to work on better smelling scents. Luckily, I own and use aromatherapy oils, and decided to try some in this, and although they do not last super long, they smell great and do not seem to affect the system, so it looks like I will be using them instead. Brethe adds humidity to the air, you can feel it, and it also seems to cool the air in the room some. It also does seem to clean the air and make it smell good. Plus if you like a "night" light, there is a option to have the water alluminated. I partially also wanted this because I sleep better with some white noise, I would say the white noise from the is equal to a fan being on low to medium, not real heavy, but noticable. It seems very easy to clean, the top silver part easily lifts right off of the base, there is a handle on the base where you put the water in, and you just sit the top part aside and fill the bottom, it fits in our bathroom sink which is nice, and makes it easy to fill! It does not have alot of parts so less to worry about breaking, and cleaning. All in all a great, simple machine, with several perks, does what it says, like I mentioned before, my only big complaint is the scents, if they work on those, this little system would be excellent! Makes the room smell great Easy to use and the scents smell great when you turn it on. I put in Lavender in the evening and my Yorkies and Chihuahua fall asleep quickly and rest through the night. It also helps keep away doggie smells. It does not add much moisture to the room and it has a loud white noise sound. It also has blue led lights that illuminate the water and make a nice night light at night. Manufacturer recommends that it is placed on a waterproof surface when in use. Have two of them and love them I have two of these. I use one in my livingroom and one in my family room. They DO work and work well. I have 3 cats and a dog. When the brethe machines are running the air in the house feels fresh and smells good. I do agree that the vanilla scent is horrible. The lime and citrus are ok, but I like the lavender the best. It smells wonderful. I thoroughly believe this does clean the air to some extent. When I turn mine off the remaining water had a brown tint to it a lot of the time. Obivously the Brethe is not going to be as effective as an air purifier, but it doesn't make those claims. I believe it does exactly what it says and I am very happy with it.
