Both are neat devices, but I prefer the Aera scents quite a bit more. Most of the Pura scents I've tried just smell sweet and thick (Nest Grapefruit), like a regular plugin. I wanted a light (but detectable), fresh, clean smell throughout my 1st floor, like walking into a nice hotel.
As someone who owns 4 Areas, two full size and two minis please know that the sound he is drawing attention to is way louder and more noticeable than you can tell on the video. I would never buy one of these things again. If you place it in a room your guests are going to be very aware and ask you what the sound is. However the scents are fantastic and not all of them are floural. There are musk scents in their lineup now. Palo Santo and Sandalwood are great. Also if you don't know what bergamot smells like you are not really into fragrance I'm guessing.
I recently purchased the Pura and HATE IT. I have a 797 sq ft open floorplan condo and there is barely any scent. I've tried several and it's just no good. I am currently sitting about 6 feet from it and - zero scent. On a rare occasion, I MIGHT notice the scent but, that's only because I am hoping and praying it will someday do it's ONE JOB. If you came over as a guest, you wouldn't notice anything at all. I currently have the Asian Woods and Charcoal scent running - two very strong scents - nothing.
Weird! We have it in a pretty large, open floor plan home and can smell it - have your tired contacting their support? They've been super helpful with a couple issues we had.
@@WeTriedIt I have - not happy with their method of support all via email. Cannot speak with anyone. I was going to try the Aera but your discount code doesn’t work sadly.
Trying to understand the pura better. What’s the deal with 2 scents at a time? Does this mean you have the ability to mix and match scents?. To me that introduces a level of difficulty I don’t want to try and figure out. I suppose I could just get the same scent but why the double scent feature? How does one even tell what mixes well together?
Honestly, it really helps to have two different scents so you can smell them better. If you only have 1 scent - you get used to it. But we have ours programmed to change every couple of hours. We like to have Capri Blue Volcano and something seasonal like Frasier Fir or Pumpkin Chia. Just two that are different.
Thank you for this review. I do love my Aera and Indigo is my most favorite scent. But you are right, the scents are very unique and reminded me of perfumes and colonges. But, I just received my Pura with a Volcano scent and am very excited about it. I just don't like that it heats of scents, where the Aera is more of a nebulizer. Heating up a scent can create other chemicals in the environment that may not be desirable. But so far, I believe the scents are safe like Aera. Just not sure. Thanks for the Review!!!
Thanks for your response and confirming our dislike of the scents! Scents are such a personal thing that make them really hard to review. I didn’t think about the nebulizer vs heating component!
Now that you’ve had alittle more time w/ the Pura has your opinion changed? Would you say it’s worth it? I really want to try it out but I HATE wasting money!
I went all out and purchased 6 puras. The only two rooms that we can ever smell anything is the bathroom and my office. Doesn't matter what scents I use. Gave pura a year to see if I could eventually get one of the bazillion scents I've ordered to actually throw scent in the living room/kitchen. I'm selling my puras and gonna try the aera.
Thanks! I’m interested in the Pura, but couldn’t find answers to some of my questions, but you answered them. My 2 scents? For $200.00, you can buy 4 Pura + some scents (or 3 + more of the scents) I wouldn’t buy the Aera because I don’t want to be stuck with their version of scents. Again, thanks! Your video helped me decide before purchasing.
We can agree that eara concept is beautiful, they just have to add light, notified the scent it's too sweet, and the white noise, other than that, I just love how the product look, the design of it. Thanks.
I just wasted hundreds on three Aera units and fragrances. I literally have to be within 3-6 feet from the units in order to smell any fragrance. Also, they stop smelling like anything within a couple of weeks. Wow, I can't believe I just spent almost $700 just to throw them in the trash.
I prefer for the a Aera I love since they smell great I also have the Pyra but it’s extremely hard to hook up to the Wi-Fi a lot of time its sales and it’s very frustrating
I have had an Aera for a couple of years. It's needed to be replaced a couple of times. One thing I can say about their customer service; they are TOP NOTCH. Unfortunately we continue to have issues with the diffuser reading the scent and percentage. I have had diffusers that wouldn't take scents at all. It's a mechanical contraption so it can reject the item. They also just upped their single fragrances to $60 per capsule. A capsule lasts us about 3 weeks so unfortunately I am seriously considering a switch.
I have a Pura and it works wonderfully, if I find a scent is too light then I just changed the setting to high. I purchased it for their large collection of fragrances from high end brands. It’s much much less expensive than buying the actual candles. The only disappointment for me is that some popular fragrances sellout seasonally. I love their Anthropology HoneyCrisp Oakwood, but it’s October and it’s not available at this time. Next year I’ll be sure to purchase the fragrance in advance of the Autumn season.
Compare Pura to electric wax melt warners. Cheaper and better scent throw. My three Pura devices barely hint the air with scent for $80/mo in refills. Wax melts "your house smells so good!" For $10/month.
We’ve had one for the house, but I have never been able to access it because my wife set it up on her phone with her account. Pura should allow you to set this up on multiple accounts.
to me Aera doesn't last long at all... and I run mine about half way. My ScentHD that I have lasted longer... however they don't make cartridges for it anymore. I'm about to buy an Armoretail diffuser and scents and see how it works out.
I think part of the reason it doesn’t seem to last as long is because your nose gets used to the scents. That’s why I like Pura with the alternating scents.
Great question! I’d say that 800 square feet is about perfect. The best thing to do is light a match, blow it out and see where the smoke goes. The smoke should go where you want the scent. Airflow is more important than square feet. Does that help?
I buy reed diffusers. These gadgets are too expensive and don't have good scent throw. Might as well just clean well and put a diffuser in each room. Filtretes on your furnace filters help too.
@@kevinleoscent hey. You've mention noise free diffuser. Can you show me which one is that. Kinda wanna use the diffuser even when sleeping so im looking for non totally 100% silent diffuser so I can use them beside my night table while sleeping
What did you mean towards the end when you me you mentions the Pura does not last the 350 hrs that the website claims? I don’t think you ever mentioned how long it does last for you. Not to mention I really didn’t understand what you meant by you live in Colorado which is a dry climate. What we’re you trying to imply by saying that? That it doesn’t last as long in dry climates? I don’t really know what’s considered a dry climate. I just know I live in Houston where it’s hot as hell most of the time lol
That's exactly the reason we post these videos and reviews! Hopefully it helped you make a decision. There is just so much stuff out there, it's hard to know what's marketing and what's the true, right?
i love all the area scents, if you ever want to get rid of them, let me know!! =)

The scents really make all the difference. That's the tough thing about these reviews, some may like one scent and another might not! :)
@@WeTriedIt yeah I have to find non-sweet ones from Pura :D
Have you tried the bridge water ones? They are pretty floral and reminded me of Aera. imp.i302434.net/e4v99Z
@@WeTriedIt No, I mostly did citrus and lavender scents, but I'll try them. Thanks!

You'll also go nose blind to scents, because you get used to it.

We’ve had one for the house, but I have never been able to access it because my wife set it up on her phone with her account. Pura should allow you to set this up on multiple accounts.
Thanks! This really helped!!
Sorry for so many question lol BuT have you heard of scentair? Any thoughts about it If so?
I haven’t but we will check it out!
Thinking of trying Aera. I’m a big Pura fan but the scents just don’t last enough hours. Intrigued that the Aera claims to last around 2 months.
Are the fragrances bottles refillable for both devices?
They aren't refillable on either - but you can buy new capsules for both.
The steady bolt namely wander because catsup lily surprise outside a weak muscle. near, busy history
Are this safe for people with sensitive asthma and allergy?
Pura has no customer service except for a chatbot. Even a chatbot can't answer simple questions.
Take a look at their Better Business Bureau rating. Caveat emptor.
Your thoughts on Aera mini requested

so confused, dont' know which one to get.....HELP
How can I help?

great review......great style
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Floral = funeral home for me. I like sweet smells although that triggers the desire for sweets. 😁
Yes! Exactly. That’s why we tend to like citrus scents - or Fir for winter.
Great video!
Thank you very much!
How can you test Pura scents before buying?
Most of them are candles that you can smell in many places.
I ordered 2 sets of samples
I don't agree my whole family loved the scents
Glad your family liked the scents! That's what makes reviews like this so hard - scents are so personal.
may i know which scent you bought? you can test many sample oil
Great video!
How much coverage did you get with the pura? You just mentioned the aera really pushing it through the kitchen area better
Great question! I’d say that 800 square feet is about perfect. The best thing to do is light a match, blow it out and see where the smoke goes. The smoke should go where you want the scent. Airflow is more important than square feet. Does that help?
for different diffuser,it has different coverage area, interest? contact us
So helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
great video! super clear.

Too noisy thanks
The Aera or Pura?

We have Noise-free scent machine,interest? let me know

Sorry. It is very dry here. I’d guess they land around 300-325 hours in Colorado. I’d guess they last longer in a humid place like Houston.
Been going back and forth between deciding which of these two devices to try and this was super informative and helpful. Thank you!
That's exactly the reason we post these videos and reviews! Hopefully it helped you make a decision. There is just so much stuff out there, it's hard to know what's marketing and what's the true, right?
Did you ever choose?
Think this is better than the air wick, febreeze and glade plug ins?
The Pura is more comparable to those - it’s just a little more expensive, but the scents last longer.
Do you have a pura promo code?

Wow you wasted a lot of money… god do you guys find this like a hobby are you bored ?
That's exactly what this is... a hobby of ours! We do work on it after the kids go to sleep.
