Plug-in or tabletop: picking your warmer
We make warmers in two bodies, and the honest answer to which one you want is usually about the room, not the warmer.
The plug-in
It sits directly in a wall outlet, takes no shelf space and doubles as a night light. The dish is small, so it suits bathrooms, hallways, bedrooms and any spot where you want a steady low glow plus a modest ribbon of scent. Because it lives at outlet height, it also stays out of the way of counters and cats.
The tabletop
A standing ceramic piece with a cord, a bigger dish and a bigger bulb. More wax surface means more scent throw, so this is the one for living rooms, kitchens and open spaces. It also reads as decor in its own right, which is why the seasonal designs mostly come in this body.
Side by side
| Plug-in | Tabletop | |
|---|---|---|
| Lives | In the wall outlet | On a table or counter |
| Scent reach | Small room | Larger room |
| Night light | Yes, that is half its job | Glows, but sits lower |
| Footprint | None | A saucer of space |
The common answer
Plenty of homes end up with both: a tabletop in the main room and plug-ins scattered where the light does the most good. If you are starting with one, start with the room you spend evenings in.
