Pura is a cost-effective and easy-to-use brand, known for its wide range of scents, including big brands and small boutique scents. It is technologically advanced, allowing users to control the scents via an app. However, some users find that the scents are not strong enough and do not last very long. Additionally, the app sometimes lags and the products are considered pricey.

I love my Pura and I love that once I set it I don’t have to think about it until it’s empty, which it reminds me on my phone. Literally I don’t have to think and our house smells wonderful. BUY
I finally caved and purchased two home/wall Pura systems and about six scents. My husband and I liked the idea of setting a scent schedule through the app to have Chamomile / Lavender going in the bedroom when it's time for bed and then Orange / Vanilla going in the living room when the workday starts. We were surprised by how pricey the scent pods are (ranging from $12-$22) and how you can't assume that all the scents are safe for pets as there are different labels on each. The app takes some getting used to and only one person can really have it and control it on their phone, but overall it's a fun way to incorporate distinct scents and combos in the house without having to rely on burning a candle. We also have two air purifiers in the house that have companion apps and were disappointed that when the Pura is running the air purifiers report that there are toxins in the air! We try to limit the run time on the scents and never have them going strong, it's always at a medium level. I think it's a cool product, but isn't something we'll continue to use daily.

I am a bit of a Pura fiend. I have the Pura 3 in my bedroom, the Pura 4 in my living room, and the Pura Car in my car. The Pura 4 does better at filling the space with scents, but the difference isn't super noticeable. My favorite aspect of Pura is their selection of scents that customers are familiar with. They carry the cult-classic Capri Blue, and that is always a crowd-pleaser. Sometimes the app lags when I am trying to turn the devices on or off, but the issues do not persist for long.
A subscription was gifted to me by a friend for 6 months for 2 scents. I had a lot of connectivity issues at first, and had to troubleshoot numerous times, until finally one day it decided to work no problem. Ended buying more scents, and a few of them just smelled so similar. I keep ours now in the living room, and its perfect when we have guests coming over and I can bump it up and fill the whole house with a scent. Smell doesn't last long when you turn it off. It can get a bit pricey if you don't have a subscription.
I was just gifted a Pura for Christmas and was SO stoked to use it. Turns out, it works just as well as it said it would AND is so cool, innovative & tech-savvy with its app. These product marketers really know what make consumers tick, and having the ability to add personalization to the scents in your home is huge. I'm floored by the simplicity and thoughtfulness to the idea. Only con: pricier than I hoped. I also wish there were more opportunities to sample - especially when ordering online. It's hard to envision and I wish that their team could come up with ways to incentivize their consumers to test new smells.

Really wish scents lasted longer but otherwise love this non-tox option for my home
I really enjoy Pura! They offer a subscription plan where you get the device for free, but you're committed to a 6-month contract during which you purchase their scents. However, let me tell you, their scents are absolutely amazing! Although I did get tired of them after just 3 months. One thing I do appreciate is the ability to control the scent's strength right from my phone.
I have mixed feelings about Pura. On one hand I love it, but the app gets on my nerves sometimes. Pros- I love that there's an endless variety of scents to try from different brands. I have heard from others that some scents aren't 100% accurate compared to the original brands candle/ perfume, but I haven't ran into that issue myself. (I currently have Apotheke's Sea Salt Grapefruit and Canvas in my Pura) I think the app is also nice to have because you can set it to where if you're not in your home, it uses your location and will automatically turn off. The diffuser vials also last a long time- for me, I have them set to intensity level 4 and they lasted 3 months before getting low. I think the cost of each fragrance vial is also reasonable! Cons- The app is clunky and glitches sometimes. It's not easy to reset schedules, so you need to delete the whole thing instead of just editing it (is that just me doing it incorrectly??) Also if you want to move the device to a different spot you need to resync it and replug in the fragrance vials, which is annoying.

I’ve had great experiences with pura since we purchased it last year. I love their selection of scents and Customer Service has been incredible (i.e. If you don’t like the scent, they’ll allow you to choose a new one). My absolute favorite is the Capri Blue lines. The iPhone app and pura device have worked almost perfectly for me, although I know others have problems with app. The ability to set multiple schedules and ease of adjusting the light and strength is awesome!
I got my Pura system as a birthday gift and I love it. I’m scared of leaving any electronic plugged in when I’m away from home, but love having a place that smells good. The timer/phone activation feature for Pura has really helped alleviate those issues so I’m not constantly worrying about whether my scented plug-ins are going to overheat/burn or not. The range of scents is also insane, and I’ve found plenty that smell amazing in about every scent category. Minus one star because the refills are pretty pricey!

I love the device and the ability to control it via an app, but the car fragrances are almost all nasty. They all smell overbearing, tacky and unnatural. If you want your car smelling like Old Spice Deodorant, buy this, otherwise don't.

I really wanted to love this brand! The selection is great, but the price point is so high for how short these last. I found myself having to buy cheaper plug-ins to hold me over in between months when I am shorter on money.
I received this as a gift with a few scents. For me it wasn’t scented enough and after it was done, I kind of moved on back to my incense and candles. If you don’t like the ritual of incense and candles and you want a modern Glade plug in, this is your gal.

I held off purchasing these because of the price, but I have to say… they are well worth it! With two German shepherds, it takes a lot to keep the house smelling nice no matter how much you clean and pick up after them. I love the fact that you can schedule times to turn on. I ordered a couple of the sample scent books to get an idea of what to order, but so far everything that I’ve ordered for the two diffusers, I’ve loved. Now, if I could only keep my daughter from stealing them, I’d be good to go.🥰

I love that they have big brands and small boutique scents. My favorite scent, Moodcast, is on here. I love the ability to control all the scents via the app as well. Cons are sometimes my favorite scents are sold out. The pricing of the scents makes sense to me, because I end up paying more for candles and getting less with burn time.

I love having a Pura! As an avid candle user — this is a great cost effective swap for filling a room with a scent you love. Mindless and easy setup and turning on with an app adds a high tech feel lol.
