The Scentsy
is a replacement for a normal candle. It is meant to replace the smoke and fire of a flame, with the simple on and off capabilities of a light bulb. Scentsys have been around for enough years now to note the similarities and differences with a candle, in order to place a proper review and comparison.

Scentsys have been around for enough years now to note the similarities and differences with a candle, in order to place a proper review and comparison.
Simplicity
With the challenge of facing
the candle, a scentsy should be at least as simple as a candle, if not even
better. The scentsy goes above and beyond in its simple design. In order to
change out the wax one must only pop out the wax, set in a new one, then to
“light” just flick the on switch and it begins to melt the wax. There is no
need to find a lighting source, so with fresh wax in the device it takes merely
a finger movement to turn on.
Strength
A scentsy should be able to
make an entire room smell pleasant, but not overpower the senses. The scent
does a good job of spreading, but not staying too thick in one area. The only
downside is the wax must be changed every so often, depending on how often it
is turned on, in order to keep the scent available for long periods. It would
be difficult to say if the amount of scentsy cubes required to match one candle
would be worth the cost, but the lifespan of one cube seems reasonable.
Price
A scentsy can range anywhere
from 10 dollars to over 30. The price depends of the size of the scentsy; there
are smaller wall models for smaller rooms like bathrooms, and larger models for
large rooms, or whole floors. The price of the device is well worth it when
comparing the price of a pack of cubes against the price of one large candle.
Pros
>The scentsy is fairly priced,
and easy to use.
>There are many different styles to match any room.
>There are also a decent variety of scents, with almost any kind of scent imaginable, from summer breeze to pumpkin pie.
>They use very little energy with a small light bulb, and are much safer than a candle with no flame involved.

Cons
>Once the wax has melted, and
filled the dish, it becomes somewhat difficult to remove.
>Sometimes the wax will pop right out with a little pressure applied, but other times it requires scrapping with some kind of tool.
>The wax can also be spilt quite easily when a table is bumped.
>The only con with light bulb power is that eventually the bulb needs to be changed, however they seem to last a very long time.

Conclusion
I would recommend the scentsy
to anyone who wants a scented device that doesn’t require fire, and smell
overkill. As a person with allergies the scentsy seems to me like a great
alternative, barely having any allergy-related side effects. The scentsy is cheap if
need be, but can be more expensive for a stronger product. If the user is
careful, there is no mess and the wax is not hot enough to cause harm if spilt
on skin. If a person is holding a candle in one hand and a scentsy in the
other, I strongly recommend the hand with a scentsy in it.
