The Living Room
The room people actually see. Comfort, light and the things that quietly make a room feel finished. We read what each brand publishes about materials and testing, look up every certification we can find, and price things by the hour or the year rather than by the sticker.

We read every word six brands publish about their own candles and diffusers, then checked it against what their retailers say about the same product on the same day. Transparency turned out to fall as the price rises, and the thing that decides what you actually breathe is not the wax at all.

The £23.99 jar names its wax and six fragrance sensitisers. The £63 one names neither. Six products read line by line, plus the one free thing that changes what you breathe.

Not one of the six publishes a filter class to the standard that defines HEPA. One is in a certification directory for the model actually on sale, and it is the cheapest serious machine of the six.

Clean Air Delivery Rate is the number that tells you whether a purifier can clean your room. One of the six publishes it against a standard. One has an ioniser that cannot be switched off.

One brand escalates from may invalidate to will invalidate inside five pages of its own manual. The £3 bottle publishes more than the £23 one.

Only one of the six publishes a filter grade you can hold the maker to, and one brand sells a near identical machine with an ioniser hidden in the model name.
