What's better than candles? Something that smells EXACTLY like a candle and is less expensive. We've found the world's best smart diffuser, Pura. Get Pura and enjoy scents you already know and love, like Capri Blue and many, many more.
Pros:
- Many scents that you already know and love
- Inexpensive device
- Holds two scents - not just one
- Programmable with your Smart Phone
- Nightlight
Cons:
- Limited coverage (but can always buy 2)
- Diffuser is frequently out of stock
Pura Review: What is it?
We love many of the scents from Pura. Check out our full guide to the Best Pura Scents for more.
Pura is a smart diffuser that allows you to put two scents (from brands you know) and will enable you to control the Pura Device from your phone with the Pura App (or just set it and forget it).
Why get rid of a candle?
First of all – no flame. How many times have you left the house and came home horrified that you left the candle burning? That doesn’t happen with Pura!
Pura even can use your phone to determine your location and automatically turn off when you aren’t home.
Candles are also really expensive – a Capri Blue Candle can easily cost over $30!
Pura vs. Aera: Which is better?
The main difference between Pura and Aera is the price. Using our Pura Promo Code, you can get started with two scents for about $50 bucks. It costs about $200 to get started with Aera.
We found Aera first, and it was our first foray into smart home diffusers. Here is the most significant difference between Aera and Pura. If you want to dive deep into the differences, we wrote a full review on Aera vs. Pura.
Pura vs. Aera: The Price
The biggest difference is the price! Aera costs $200 for the smart version. Pura costs only $39 (and you can save more with our Pura Promo Code).
The fragrances are also cheaper with Pura. Pura’s fragrances are $12-$18 apiece vs. Aera’s $50 for each pod. The Aera Diffuser does last longer, but it’s more expensive.
How long do the scents last?
Depending on the fragrance, each vial should last for approximately 350 hours or 15 full days on a medium scent intensity. That’s pretty incredible. I currently have a Pura in my office and runs for about 10 hours a day at the highest scent intensity.
A new feature that Pura introduced is the ability to know when your fragrance is running low. Since they introduced the feature, they recently updated the information to give you even more details around how much is left in each fragrance. Pretty cool.
Does Pura really smell like the candles?
YES! It actually does. Of course, you won’t get the crackle of the fire like a candle but you will get the scent.
It doesn’t even smell like a knock-off scent, the Capri Blue Volcano scent smells exactly like the candle!
It also travels through the house incredibly well. We even smell the candle on our second floor when it’s been running.
