Identify the refill format
Automatic room freshener is a broad category. Check whether the proposed dispenser uses aerosol, cartridge or another refill. A HUME commercial oil model needs its approved liquid and instructions.
Compare the occupied experience
Assess the actual zone, release pattern and staff preferences. Do not assume that timed release or a commercial label creates even distribution through separate rooms.
Calculate consumable costs
Compare refill price, expected use and delivery charges under the same operating hours. Avoid using bottle size or dispenser price alone as a monthly-cost estimate.
Check support and setup
Ask about placement, power or batteries, cleaning and refill availability for both exact models. Confirm included fragrance and warranty terms before paying.
Before you accept a quote
- Identify the proposed zones and areas to leave unscented.
