I have purchased both Air Wick and Glade (Air Wick Lumin Air Flameless Scented Oil Candle, Vanilla Passion - 4 Ea) brand flameless scented oil candles and here is a detailed comparison. I tested Air Wick with Vanilla Passion and Glade with Clean Linen and French Vanilla:

Glade:
+Cordless
+Realistic "flame" and flickering
-"Flame" a little too dim
-French Vanilla doesn't smell like vanilla at all. Clean Linen smells like cologne
-Takes specific scented oil cartridges
-If you are at an eye level just barely level to the candle, you can instantly see that it's not a real candle. Needs to be placed higher up if you want it to be convincing.

Air Wick:
+Takes standard scented oil refills. You can buy refill packs for both the candle and the standard scented oil units in your home, giving you a higher variety of scent options and you don't have to worry about them discontinuing proprietary cartridges.
+A slightly higher viewing angle is needed to see that it's not a real candle
+Does not need batteries
+Fragrance has slightly more coverage
+Vanilla Passion has nice warm convincing vanilla smell
-Corded
-Has power button, cord, and oil level cutout on the back of the outside, which when combined with the cord severely limits where you can place it
-"Flame" not very realistic. Light is at a constant level most of the time, not very much flickering.
-No way to change level of fragrance
-"Frosted Glass" is actually plastic

I love the glade flameless candle. One of my phobias is leaving a candle lit by accident. I placed this in the bathroom....because its 'flameless' I easily could put it in a shelf above the fixtures and not worry about it getting too hot and burning the shelves down. Plus it lends a spa feel to the bathroom.

We've tried the vanilla, clean linen, apple cinnamon and Hawaiian breeze. Our favorites are the linen and vanilla, I didn't particularly like the Hawaiian Breeze. The little scent refills last quite a while...maybe 2 months or more? Which is great because I don't pay much attention to it.

One of the reasons I like it so much is because its not as obvious to guests. They never are quite sure why it smells so great in the bathroom, because it's not one of those unattractive plug-ins. I hosted a bachelorette party last summer and every girl who came out of the bathroom was asking why it smelled so amazing in there. At the time I was using the linen scent. It does have a masculine quality, but I liked that so it's not too flowery for the guys and it's also very fresh smelling and perfect for a bathroom. Depending on what kind of feel you want a room to have, you can pick accordingly. When we use the french vanilla, the bathroom feels warm and cozy.

The only downside is it uses batteries like nobody's business. I'm always shocked how fast it goes dead. I just use rechargables, so it's not a big deal to me, but it was definitely noticeable how often I have to change them.

I am very disappointed with this product. I purchased the flameless candle with Apple-Cinnamon scent that was quite lovely. At the same time I purchased the clean linen refills to try later.

Since we started using the clean linen scent, my whole house smells like a strong men's cologne. As the name would imply, I was expecting a light fresh scent that smelled clean but wasn't overwhelming. Ultimately I had to remove the flameless candles and place them in my garage. My son couldn't stop sneezing due to this overpowering smell, and we had it on the very lowest setting!

Don't buy this unless you like your home to smell like men's cologne.

I have not bought this particular product from KATHYCTBC, but she is amazing, you cannot do any wrong with buying products from her!
