Worked great at first, but then the nighlight died out. A week later, the whisper motor began operating more and more loudly to the point where it was too noisy to keep in my bedroom, thus defeating the purpose of the item. This is all happened in less than a month from receiving the item. Avoid it!

Air cleaner worked for approximately one week then began to rattle extremely loud and night light failed. We purchased 2 units, one for our upstairs bath and one for a bath in the basement. Both units worked for only a week. If I could rate this product at 0 stars I would but the scale starts at 1. Please don't waste your money on this product!

I'm disappointed in the brightness level. If you're using all 6 candles in one centerpiece arrangement, then perhaps they're fine. But using them scattered around individually, they lack in producing any substantial light.

I purchased three sets of these to use during an indoor/outdoor party. I think rechargeable LED candles are a great idea, but these LED lights are made very poorly. There was at least one candle in every set that didn't work at all (a total of 4 candles from 3 sets that didn't work) and then a couple that keep very short lived charges and flicker out (within two hours) much sooner than the rest. I called an emailed Viatek with no response. After, the third call, someone picked up the phone and said that they would send replacements. They never did, and a follow up call went unanswered as well. Also, the yellow light emitted by these candles is very yellow compared to a real candle flame, it isn't natural looking. If you plan to mix yellow LED candles (like these) with real candles, the difference will be glaringly obvious. Go for a -warm- white LED candle as opposed to the yellow LED candle (they do exist).

Let's just say that the flies in my house were not at all intimidated by this gadget. Nothing has changed, the flies just fly right in front of it and dont seem bothered by the ultrasonic waves. A fly swatter works better... Dont waste your money on this.

My unit simply stopped working in about 2 weeks (both the fan and the blue light, at the same time). Now it just emits a very low random, static noise when I plug it into the outlet.

Regarding its purpose, I didn't (or was not able to) realize any difference in my environment while it was working...

I must have been distracted and missed the reviews on this. I would never have bought it if I had read them.
But I did buy it, I just received it and plugged it in. It is SO LOUD THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS A HAIR DRYER RUNNING IN THE ROOM. How can this little thing be so loud?
Well, from the reviews I guess this wont be a problem for long as it shouldnt last.

So far, I haven't seen any spiders around my house! or centipedes for that matter.

This product seemed the ideal ion generator to use by my desk as I worked at the computer. However, the first one I got died within three days. The seller graciously refunded me my money as they had no more in stock. I ordered another from another seller and this one died within three weeks. When I told them what happened, they also graciously sent me a replacement without my even specifically asking them to do so. This third one died within 48 hours! I either have the worse of luck or this is just a bad product. I took apart the first one that failed but I could find nothing wrong on the inside, not that there were any consumer replaceable parts. At least, I could confirm that it had real looking insides! Well three strikes and I am out, I won't even try any of this product again and would be hesitant to even buy any of that brand.

Do not buy from this company. I bought this product and my order apparently got duplicated. I called the cs# when I found this out (I received two separate shipments) and told the woman about it. She said that she would send a return label, which took forever to receive. I also got an email saying that the order had been duplicated. I sent the duplicate back and then received a REPLACEMENT in the mail, never got a refund for the duplicate charge. I sent an email to the cs because I was not willing to spend my own money to talk to another person who could not speak English well when they were the ones that screwed up in the first place. I have never heard back from this company and am reporting them to the BBB. Horrible customer service and the product doesn't work very well anyway!!!!!!!!
