This was an item of which I was unaware - until it appeared amongst the Christmas presents. I had seen others similar but not this particular one. I have to say that it was probably something I would not have bought myself but I was quite pleased to receive it as a gift.
The Fresh Air Globe has three main parts: the water tank, the base and the lid - which also houses the motor. The unit is powered by electricity for which the cable and mains adapter are, of course, included along with the easy to follow instructions and two small bottles of essences - Eucalyptus and Lavender.
The JML water tank is made of clear plastic, unlike some other brands which have a glass tank. This has to be filled with tap water up to the maximum water level shown. It is then placed on the base with a few drops of the essence (if required), topped off with the lid and connected to the power supply.
The on/off switch is at the back of the base which also contains the LED light display. The switch for this is on the front of the base and you have a wide choice of light colours and displays. My calculation of the variations is fourteen - although I would not stake my life on that! We tend to lean towards the paler colours: lime green, electric blue and lavender (and variations) but there are also bright colours for instance a very festive red, green and blue - ideal for the Christmas season and even flashing lights and a strobe which would be great for parties!
The lid - which in our case is silver (as is the base) but which apparently also comes in "pearl" - contains the motor which appears to be mainly a fan but with a tube that goes into the water from the centre. This agitates the water which then swirls around and gives the impression that rain is falling inside. It is said that dust and 'particles' are drawn in through the top grill, passed down through the water and clean air is then sent out. I have to admit that the water DOES become rather dirty although adding essence does make it cloudy to start with. I will also say that the cool air that is emitted from the top has a lovely freshness to it. In fact, one of my cats has taken to sitting on top of the television beside it and I feel it is because he likes the freshness there.
We have tried three of the different essences: Eucalyptus and Lavender which were included as small bottles and Lemon which we purchased later. I would not say that any had a strong scent (unless you use too much). Used in small amounts (the instructions say 1 to 2 drops) there is a lovely freshness - particularly on entering the room. In my opinion it is rather like going into the garden after rain on a spring or summer day. The others that JML sell are: Rose, Sandalwood and Teatree.
As I said, the water does become rather dirty but apparently doesn't have to be changed until this happens. We have found that the water goes down fairly quickly so it does need topping up regularly. As we live in an area which has extremely hard water we also have to clean the bowl and interior as we get deposits of lime scale which need to be removed. I have found that cold water and a wipe with a kitchen towel is usually sufficient. Other cleaning instructions are included in the booklet but are mainly common sense anyway like not immersing the electrical parts in water or putting it in the dishwasher.
On the whole I have been quite impressed with this and, although I may not have bought it for myself, I am very pleased to have it and it is in constant use. The Fresh Air Globe can be obtained in the usual JML outlets or from www.JMLdirect.com for the price of £39.99.
I do hope that you have found this of interest and I thank you for reading it.
Advantages: smells nice when it's on Disadvantages: flawed design
JML Fresh Air Globe- Dehumidifying, Air Freshening, Light Show Providing, Working Reasonably Well, Slightly Noisy, Spaceship Looking thing.
**INITIAL THOUGHTS**
Opening the Fresh Air Globe on Christmas day settled an internal debate for me. Once you hit adulthood, Christmas day really isn't what it used to be. It wasn't so much the appliance as the fact that I have reached an age where someone (incidentally someone younger than me) can buy me a ... ...a true test for the JML Fresh Air Globe.
**MAIN JML CLAIM 1 of 2: Neutralises nuisance odours by up to 80% - great for tackling tobacco and cooking odours**
aka: It sloshes around and sucks air in while pumping out a nice smell. Clearly I have no way of challenging the percentage of 80% here however I would agree to some extent with the claim. When the Globe is on, you can smell your chosen perfume floating around the room. If someone (me) happens ...

Advantages: Definitely does help to freshen the air drawing in impurities Disadvantages: Main unit is £39.99 and replacement oils are £9.99 each
I purchased the JML Fresh Air Globe and am glad I did!
The globe comes with 2 fragrance oils - 1 eucalyptus and 1 lavender which offer both a stimulating or soothing experience. Within the unit there are coloured led lights which change randomly thus creating a relaxing atmosphere when using the appliance in a darkened room.
It is amazing how much dirt the water collects (much better in the water than breathing it in).
The only drawback with this ... ...the JML Fresh Air Globe for about a year now and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Maintenance is exceptionally easy. When the water becomes cloudy simply empty the basin, rinse and refill. The filters are easy to clean too and unclick so you can get access. ...

JML Fresh Air Globe
I bought this when I was ill with a sinus type bug because I had the heating on all the time and the air seemed really dry. All of the other air purifiers were really expensive and this appeared to do much the same as they promised. Yes I should have known better but I was ill at the time…
How it works
The idea is that by swirling water around (or something more scientific but swirling is what it looks like), particles will ... ...only use those supplied by JML as they are specially created. Unfortunately, these are pretty chemical smelling and unpleasant - not the natural ambience I had been promised. My globe came with eucalyptus and lavender oils and even with the stuffy sinus nose I could smell something which was not quite right. I suppose on the bright side, at least I could smell something. There is a gentle noise of running water which is not intrusive and sometimes ...

Advantages: Good Price, Colours, Essences Disadvantages: Cleaning, Get used to the smell, loud fan
Good Value for money air purifier comes with good essences and good looking design. I say the design was good looking but it is a real fiddle to clean. But really it doesn't need cleaning just emptying and refilling each day. It provides a nice smell when you walk into the room however you get used to it after a while, It is good if you have kids because they like the modern look of it and its cool light show you can change the colours to stop on ... ...also good for teens who have smelly sports kits because it doesn't mask the Oder it gets rid of it. And you can see at the end of the day the water is a kind of grey-ish colour because of it catching the dust and/or smoke if you smoke. Quite a loud fan though. ...
