8 best plug-in air fresheners, tried and tested at home

I tested a wide range of electric air fresheners for all budgets, to make sure you don’t end up paying through the nose - (Siobhan Grogan/The Independent)

No one likes nasty niffs in their home. Whether you have pets that pong or don’t want to smell last night’s dinner when you’re eating breakfast, the best plug-in air fresheners are a hassle-free way to make sure your house always smells great.

They’re a safer option than candles and generally release scent around the clock – or when scheduled – so your room will keep smelling good even if last minute visitors turn up unexpectedly. Most are extremely simple to operate and simply need plugging in to begin releasing fragrance. Some use scented gel beads while others use liquid fragrance or essential oils and most can be easily refilled. There’s a wide range of scents to choose from, whether you prefer the airy smell of freshly washed bedding, a burst of fruitiness or even a sophisticated fragrance you might find in a five-star hotel.
