Find out why the Scentsy Air Purifier is a must have.
How does the Scentsy Air Purifier work?
The Scentsy Air Purifier cleans the air using a HEPA H13 filter while also dispersing signature Scentsy fragrance via Scentsy Pods (sold separately). The unit draws air in and passes it through a sensor. Whenever the sensor detects particles of a given amount and size, the Air Purifier’s air quality indicator light goes from white to red; if the unit is on Auto mode, the fan will switch to High mode to quickly clean the air.
What Scentsy fragrance product does the Air Purifier use?
The Air Purifier is designed to be used with Scentsy Pods and can hold up to two pods at a time. As the unit releases clean air back into your environment, the air flows through the Scentsy Pods to fill your space with fragrance.
Are there different settings?
Yes. The Air Purifier cleans the air in three modes: Auto, Low and High. Auto mode’s default fan speed is low, but once the Air Purifier detects pollutants it switches to a high fan speed to quickly clean the air. Once the device senses clean air, it returns to Low mode. Low and High modes do not switch automatically and must be manually changed using the fan speed button.
What type of filter does the unit come with?
Every Scentsy Air Purifier comes with one HEPA H13 filter, which is capable of removing at least 99.95% of airborne particles and allergens as small as 0.3 microns (µm), including dust, pollen, mold and bacteria.
Why doesn’t the unit use a carbon filter?
Carbon air filters are designed to filter gases through a bed of activated carbon (also called activated charcoal) and are typically used to combat volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and eliminate odor. Because our Air Purifier is designed to also release fragrance into the air, using a carbon filter would compromise the fragrance experience.
Can I purchase filters separately?
Yes. Replacement filters are available to purchase separately and can also be added to Scentsy Club subscriptions. With a Scentsy Club subscription, you can get 10% off replacement HEPA filters and Scentsy Pods (on orders over $30) and other great perks.
How much are the replacement filters?
Replacement filters are $35 each.
How often do I need to replace the filter?
The filter’s default life is 950 hours in High mode or 1,200 in Low mode, so it depends on how frequently it’s being used and the quality of the air it has filtered. For example, the filter will last 40 days if used continuously for 24 hours a day, seven days a week; it will last 120 days or approximately four months if used eight hours a day. The life of the filter will also vary based on numerous environmental factors (e.g., the volume of particulates in the air). Once the filter’s hour limit has been reached, a small red light will appear under the filter icon in the front of the device to indicate it needs to be replaced.
My Personal Experience
The photos below are of my personal Scentsy air purifier. I have an open floor plan, small ranch style home. I purchased this air purifier shortly after they were released in the fall of 2021. The above response to how often you need to change the filter is typical. Although as also stated, it just depends on a number of variables.
In August 2025, I just changed my filter for the very first time. The indicator light never came on and I periodically inspected the filter to insure it wasn’t nasty and needed to be replaced. I turn it on every morning. The circular “cleaning the air” red oval lights up every day. It is slightly louder when it is purifying, so I know it has been purifying my air. This cycle generally lasts about 10 minutes, then returns to white light (not currently actively finding air that needs to be purified) and I then power-off the unit.
I do not smoke, nor fry foods, nor have any pets. What I believe has afforded me this anomaly is that I have over 30 house plants in my living room. My children are grown and flown, so my plants are my babies now. Certain house plants are known for being an effective natural air purifier, especially in removing airborne toxins and adding moisture to dry indoor air.
My affinity for plants, along with my Scentsy Air Purifier, keep the air in my castle about as pure and clean as can be. So while my results are not typical, I share this so you can know that your filter can last longer than average.
That said, I have a customer who has three cats, a rabbit, and frequently lights wicked candles and incense. They go through one filter per month. Not a bad thing though, as it is evidence the Scentsy Air Purifier definitely works.
How do I know when to replace the filter?
A small red light will appear under the filter icon on the front of the Air Purifier when the filter needs to be changed.
How do I replace the filter?
Turn off and unplug the Air Purifier. Remove any Scentsy Pods from the top of the unit. Flip the Air Purifier upside down and unscrew the bottom. Remove the old air filter and clean out any excess dust from the inside of the air filter compartment. Remove the new air filter packaging and insert it into your Air Purifier. Replace the bottom of the Air Purifier and turn it right side up. Reset the Air Filter replacement indicator.
How do I reset the Air filter replacement indicator?
After you replace the air filter, plug in your Air Purifier and turn it on by pressing the power button. Press and hold the power button for three seconds until the unit turns off. Press the power button to turn the unit back on, and the Air Filter replacement indicator light should go off.
Does the Air Purifier plug into an outlet?
Yes. The Air Purifier plugs into the wall. There is not a cordless option. The power cord length is 5.9 feet.
How long does it take the Air Purifier to clean the air in a 150-square-foot room?
Approximately 30 minutes in Auto mode.
What is the clean air delivery rate (CADR)?
The CADR for the Scentsy Air Purifier is 41.5 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
How long can I leave the unit on?
The unit is designed to run continuously. You can also choose to set the timer for two, four or eight hours by using the timer button.
What area size is the Air Purifier designed for?
The Air Purifier is ideal for spaces up to 200 sq. ft., like nurseries, bedrooms, home offices and more.
Does the unit have light?
Yes. A large white ring around the buttons lights up to indicate when the unit is on and that the unit detects good air quality. This same ring turns red when it detects poor air quality. This light can be turned off by pressing the light button (the unit will still continue to clean the air). There is also a small red light above the ring that indicates when the default air filter replacement life has been reached, and small blue light that indicates a timer is activated.

Does the Air Purifier get hot while in use?
No. The unit does not get hot.
Does the Scentsy Air Purifier have advantages over Scentsy’s Warmer and Diffuser systems?
While all Scentsy systems provide an exceptional fragrance experience, the Air Purifier removes at least 99.95% of airborne particles and allergens as small as 0.3 microns (µm), including dust, pollen, mold and bacteria, while filling the air with fragrance.
Will existing Scentsy products activate the Air Purifier?
Maybe. After testing the Air Purifier with all Scentsy products, we determined that the unit can be triggered when placed in a confined area with a Scentsy Diffuser and Oils. This is because the Air Purifier is designed to identify and filter out particles similar in size to the oil particles dispersed by the Diffuser. Scentsy Room Sprays and Fragrance Flowers can also set off the device if placed/sprayed too close to the purifier.
Does the Air Purifier work with a humidifier in the same room?
Yes. When tested with a humidifier, the unit was not impacted by humidity.

Yes. The Scentsy Air Purifier is guaranteed to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the product. For more details on the Scentsy Air Purifier warranty, visit scentsy.com/shippingwarranty-return-information.
