I'm a Scentsy rep in Canada, just started selling last fall because I love their scents! I have about 6 warmers and I love them all....BUT, I did purchase a Wal-Mart Scent Sationals warmer last week in order to do a comparison. The old Wal-Mart warmer I had used a halogen type bulb that got really hot! I noticed the newer Scent Sationals warmers used the same wattage/types of bulbs as Scentsy. I have been using both brands daily for a week now, running them for the same time and using the same Scentsy wax scent in each. Have to say, the Scent Sationals is performing just as well as the Scentsy warmer. BUT, here's the tipping point...in Canada the Nova warmer from Scentsy is $66 Plus tax AND shipping. The Scent Sationals warmer that is exactly the same shape but smokey black/grey in design (same wattage bulb) was only $22.97 plus tax NO shipping. So...I could buy 3 from Wal-Mart for less than the cost of 1 Scentsy. Which is why I have a hard time selling warmers to customers. The price of the Scentsy warmers is just too high. I still love their wax, haven't found a better quality or scent selection for wax yet...plus I do love Scentsy's other lines, especially laundry! So I will continue to be a Scentsy lover/user but will only buy warmers that go on sale at a decent discount.
Glad to see a different kind of review! My husband is an industrial electrician and he gives thumbs up to Scentsy warmers. He decided to take a few warmers apart. He basically thinks Walmart warmers are a pos...maybe like buying a 100 pc tool set for $9.99 🙂. I spend more but I know where it’s made, how it’s made & I support that. Peace of mind. ❤️
As much as you were trying not to be biased..it was totally still there..but I might be the same if I was a consultant..I buy walmart and scentsy..I love both.
I am a lover of all things home fragrance and there are things I like and dislike about both. I was not trying to come across in the wrong way and hope this didn’t rub anyone the wrong way... just thought it may be a fun video as I like comparison videos for entertainment. 🤷🏻♀️
Lisa Rowberry, your viewers are obviously Scentsy lovers like I since it’s the season they watch your videos, a lot also buy Walmart for the reason of it being affordable, not everyone can afford to buy only Scentsy warmers and wax with it being 3 times the price plus shipping, it’s insensitive to make a comparison when they can see for them selves the quality and performance....Walmart warmers and wax work just fine why compare?
@@isabelr6292 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and reply. I am in no way trying to come across like I am tearing down another company. I personally find these types of comparison videos to be entertaining. I am a lover of all home fragrance and appreciate the convenience of being able to walk into a store to make a purchase.

I buy Scentsy mostly for the scents and I have a good friend that sells it and I like to support her. But it is pricey! Especially for the warmers! $50 and up is NOT in my budget for a warmer. If I want a cute seasonal warmer, I tend to get those from Walmart because of the price. If they end up not working or breaking for whatever reason, at least I only spent $15. The Walmart wax is cheap and I don't really care because they have some good scents. The Farm Apple Pumpkin is a dupe for Scentsy's Cider Mill, it's two dollars. Though honestly, I buy both every fall. I also love the hot plate style warmers from Candle Warmers when I don't want light from my warmer at night. Those are about $20, good quality and work with any wax that I put in them, Scentsy, indie vendor, and Walmart wax. I never leave any warmers on when I'm not home, even the one Scentsy one I do have (the Alex's Lemonade Stand one) and It just rubs me the wrong way when a Scentsy consultant tells you that a Walmart warmer is a fire hazard. Well, so is your toaster, hair dryer, and anything else you plug in. Just my two cents. I will continue to support my friend and buy Scentsy from her, but no one is going to convince me to use Scentsy wax and warmers exclusively when there are good quality, less expensive options out there!
I have both and use both but they are no way on the same level, My walmart one gets so hot it burns me within a short time on my scebtsy one can be on all day and stays warm not hot, my scentsy one I bought SEVEN years ago and is still perfect even with the same 7 year old light bulb, I use my walmart one and enjoy it but its not anywhere near as nice as my scentsy one. Walmart waxes are not my cup of tea if anything I could go by and use a walmart warmer but will always use scentsy waxes for sure.
I am a recent Scentsy and wax convert, having always been a traditional candle fan. It wasn’t until we redid some rooms in our house that I saw what a mess the candles were making. Unfortunately, I started on the lower end of the wax spectrum and was about to throw in the towel until I discovered Scentsy. This video really does prove you get what you pay for. I’ve always been about quality over quantity so I’ve bought Scentsy warmers that can be out all year long vs. the more seasonal ones to start out and can slowly add to my collection. The wax has convinced me I’m not “settling” by letting go of my candles and my freshly painted (clean) walls are grateful too! The only other wax I still use is from Goose Creek Candles - just under Scentsy quality with some really unique scents. Thanks Lisa for the always informative videos especially when you’re new to the world of wax.
I prefer Scentsy but I will buy other wax locally on occasion purely for the ease of access and cost. Even though the quality may not be there, sometimes it is just nice to be able to shop and have it in my home in one day instead of having to guess if I'll like a fragrance and then have to wait a week to get it and pay for shipping.
I love you, this was so funny to see you try and talk through your natural bias. I have 75% Scentsy and 20% Candle Warmers and 1 Walmart. All work just fine. Scentsy are prettier for sure.
Another great video Lisa! A HUGE part of why I like Scentsy more than mass brand store warmers and wax is the REMOVAL of the wax. With Scentsy, it's so easy. It comes out in one solid puck and is so easy to get out of your warmer. Have you ever tried to remove the wax from another brand's warmers? It's a nightmare. You simply cannot get them out cold and hot is a huge mission too. Also, the temperature of the warmers and the wax is a dealbreaker for me because if theyre getting that hot, theyre just scorching the fragrance inside. I think I have tried every brand on the planet. Scentsy just outperforms all others and I'm not a consultant. Just a diehard.
This review was pretty biased I understand you're a Scentsy Consultant however I have bought the Crystal warmer from scentsy and it performed horribly 40w for $50 is way too much for it. It is unattractive when lit and so bright like florescent light. I gave it away. I love scentsy but I try all types of warmers and I don't think they're the best out there. The wax is what keeps me coming back. I really love your videos I've seen everyone but this one is my least favorite. But I'm a fan. Just being honest. Happy New Year 😁
I am a lover of all things home fragrance and there are things I like and dislike about both. I was not trying to come across in the wrong way and hope this didn’t rub anyone the wrong way... just thought it may be a fun video as I like comparison videos for entertainment. 🤷🏻♀️ I am sorry you were not happy with the Crystal Ice warmer.
@m seal it performed like a full size scentsy warmer, I was expecting higher throw bc of the higher wattage. But no it performed well. I just was wanting a higher throw . I'm sure your parents will love it 😁
It is a toss up for me on who wins on wax vs warmers. For Scentsy, if you only use Scentsy wax, then it works since it's tested for that. But I use mostly vendor wax, and Scentsy warmers rarely performs well with those. Which is why Scentsy warmers have a bad rap in the vendor wax community. Nonetheless, I appreciate the craftmanship & out of the box uniqueness with Scentsy warmers. An outstanding Scentsy warmer is the Accord hot plate. That one performs as good as my favorite wax warmer brands - Candle Warmers, Etc. and Pink Zebra. An equally outstanding Walmart warmer is the Scentsationals Mosaic Royal Plume warmer. Stunning, petite, and throws like a champ! Try Pink Sugar Berry or Orange Buttercream wax melts...I think it's by BHGardens. Thanks for the updated views:)
True I agree, you can use Scentsy wax in any warmer. But you cant use all wax in Scentsys warmers. Most of other waxes are harder and need a hotter plate/ warmer.
They need a hotter plate/ warmer... which also makes the wax more of a danger, along with the warmer being that they will obviously both get warmer to the touch. Does that mean they aren't good? Of course not. Depending on your circumstances at home (kids, pets, e.t.c), that's a big deal.
@@Rosetta.Padillaexactly! I'm more of a Scentsy wax consumer...Winterberry Apple Tea, Pink Haze (retired), Thunderstorm, Luna, Blueberry Cheescake, Pumpkin Marshmallow, and Ginger & Spruce stay in rotation. 😊 I try to tell folks to learn about the wax types (paraffin, vegetable, soy, beeswax, coconut, blended, etc) and try out diff warmers ((bulbs (halogen, edison, standard), high and low wattage hot plates/element, etc)) and learn as you go! No brand is a one size fits all. 👍🏾
@@mitchellesouthern5171 hotter, yes, but there's still a spectrum. Scentsy's hottest is what, a 12watt? I had the Diamond milk glass warmer. I donated it. 17Watt hot plates are still touchable! Kids and all. That's mostly what I use from Candle Warmers, Etc. I'm not a fan of 20 and 24 watts (like the old Glade hot plate). Those get super hot. But, to each his or her own.
@@snmpvamu True! And I will say I do believe more store bought warners have become more thoughtful to the heat aspect. I definitely see a difference between our regular warmers and our element warmers. I don't feel our element warmers have as great of a throw as our regular warmers with a bulb.
I actually have Wal-Mart to thank for turning me into a Scentsy addict 😅 those were the first wax melts I bought from there, and fell in love with flameless fragrance! Scentsy forever ❤
I love watching your videos. Before I was Scentsy lover, i brought a Walmart Warmer a few years ago and it Caught on Fire. scentsy is the best warmers they have a life time warranty.
I still maintain that consultants should not do these videos. As unbiased as you are trying to be, its still quite obvious. The things that scentsy has over BH&G are a greater varity of more complex and unique scents and the ability to unify a scent through multiple products. Those things should be celebrated instead of tearing down BH&G with trivial opinions like having no consultant or the warmer having a pre-installed bulb. I use both daily and they have the same quality and performance, and yes some BH&G scents do better than Scentsy.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and reply. I am in no way trying to come across like I am tearing down another company. I personally find these types of comparison videos to be entertaining. I am a lover of all home fragrance and appreciate the convenience of being able to walk into a store to make a purchase.

I love scentsy but Walmart is just more affordable! My dollar tree sells wax bars now and they smell just as amazing as scentsy and I need to change my wax every two days no matter what wax I use! I’ve had Walmart warmers for years and left them on and never had a house fire lol. I have also touch the wax in a Walmart and scentsy warmer and they were both just as hot.
I have tried wax and warmers from Lots of different places, garden centres, yankee candle warmers etc, and scentsy is by far the best. The smell lasts longer and smells amazing. I'm in the UK and have found no fragrance systems better than scentsy x
Yes the Scentsy warmers are way better made & I love the quality of Scentsy warmers! Scentsy have way more selection than the Walmart warmers! Yup I have a fair sized collection of awesome Scentsy warmers & awesome Scentsy fragrances too that I got through my Scentsy consultant! I always buy Scentsy! Great comparison too!😇😇😇
I’ve always loved Walmart’s scents, but my friend is a new scentsy consultant, so I purchased my first scentsy products! I’m excited to receive them and see which I like better. For now, I like the packaging of Walmart’s better because I like the photo’s on the packaging; as well as the simple shape of the packaging which makes it easier to store away :)
I started years ago with Walmart warmers and I wasn’t a fan then I found out about Scentsy when I started watching you years ago and I’ve love Scentsy ever since . The scents are so much better and the warmers are so much better quality in Scentsy ❤️❤️❤️
Not sure I could put a price tag on fire safety. I feel 100% confident my Scentsy warmers are safe, even when left on 24/7. I would always worry about an electrical defect with the Walmart brand. I’ll stick with Scentsy 💜💜💜
As for warmers, my aesthetic matches the Walmart one because it looks a little more farmhouse, which is more my cup of tea. The crystal would maybe be cute in my daughter’s room, but not out in my kitchen.
But for the price that it cost, it suits people who are on a budget and does the job. I personally always will choose Scentsy, however, if I were in a pinch and would like to have my house smelling nice, I’d go with Walmart. I think it’s good for what it’s for.
Absolutely! I agree 100%. I think for the price its a really really great value! And the convenience of being able to walk into a store and pick out your warmer and smell your wax there before purchasing is a great bonus.
Room size, open concept vs bedroom/office can make a huge difference as well. I prefer Scentsy but I think they are so pricey that lots of people won’t even consider them. Also, let’s be honest, some Scentsy consultants drive people insane with their “sales pitch”. I’m sure you aren’t that way but there are a lot of pushy sales people out there. I love your videos and watch every one of them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and reply to my video. It really does mean a lot. I know exactly what you are talking about with the whole sales pitch thing when dealing with a consultant so I can absolutely see why some people may prefer walking into a store to purchase their wax and warmers so they don’t have to deal with that exact thing. I am a lover of all things home fragrance and thought this would be a fun video to do. I find comparison videos to be entertaining so I hope that’s how this is taken and not taken the wrong way. I find great and not so great things about both brands as you will with anything. Thank you again for your support! It means a lot.
The scentsy light bulbs last triple the time the Wal-Mart bulbs as well..and yes the Wal-Mart gets hotter so your fragrance from the wax doesn't last as long ..Wal-Mart gives you only a day or 2 for fragrance whereas scentsy I can get 4 or 5 days of fragrance depending on particular wax
I think Scentsy warmers are safer too! In all wax groups, all the posts about their warmers smoking or charring or turning black where the cords connect are the cheaper Walmart warmers, I’ve never seen a Scentsy warmer do that. I also notice that Walmart warmers feel much hotter to the touch! Makes me very nervous. I only buy Scentsy warmers because of that!
I buy some Scentsy warmers for night lights only because they don't throw worth a darn. 😄 Yes, they are pretty but I need warmers that perform and have a great throw, so my go-to⁰ warmers for that are my Candle Warmers. My Candle Warmers blow Scentsy out of the water! Now, my prettiest warmer is the Sensationals Lemonade warmer and it performs like a champ. Also, I've tried plenty of Scentsy wax and to me it smells cheap and is weak. I like Walmart wax but my favorite wax is by far vendor wax. If I had to spend my money on either Scentsy or Walmart wax I would always choose Walmart because you get 3 times more for your money and better performance. And as far as needing a consultant for instructions on what to do with my warmer I feel that's a weak arguement because what instruction do you actually need other then plug your warmer in and place the wax in the dish.🤣 Also, I've never had a Walmart warmer break on me but I have recently purchased the "Frosty" warmer from Scentsy and it arrived defective. Now I have to wait on a replacement where as if it were a Walmart warmer I would have a replacement by now with just a quick drive to the store. 🤷♀️
When you refer to "Candle Warmers" is that a brand or do you mean warmers that use a votive candle to warm? Also, what is "vendor wax"? Thanks much! ;)
My dogs with breathing issues don’t do well with the cheaper wax like Walmart and yankee. Scentsy doesn’t seem to bother them nearly as much. I wonder if food grade paraffin is the difference? Have you tried scentsy wax in your Walmart warmer? I bet the scent will vanish just as fast. I noticed it with my glade hot plate. It gave a good throw then the scent vanished. I think the heat from the warmers kill the scent
When they burn hotter, they definitely go through the oils in the wax faster. So you're correct, even a wax in the same class as Scentsy, with typically 40% more oils in the wax, will fizzle out faster when warming at a higher temperature.
DO NOT use wax or candles at all around animals with respitory problems. It is the oils, not the wax. Please talk to your vet before using wax again around your dog as the oils could be causing irrepairable damage.
Walmart wax is ok. But scentsy lasts so much longer. Hands down. Walmart does have some yummy choices but they do smell like wax after the first day. I wish scentsy would come out with a vanilla cookie crunch lol. It’s the one that I always go back to Walmart for.
Oh thank heaven I'm not the only one who feels the same about Walmart wax!! I tried it for shits and giggles😊 I got about 2 hours out of the Walmart wax,it's throw was non existent and the clean up was aweful! I use the cotton ball method to change out my scentsy wax ...I tried it with Walmart wax,it didn't absorb the wax...I'm used to my scentsy wax being sucked up like a sponge quick,easy clean up,pop in more wax ,done...the Walmart wax was a lot more labor intensive... I also dislike getting Walmart wax all over my manicure which doesn't happen with Scentsy wax using the cotton ball method ....I also store my Scentsy warmers back in their original boxes in big clear Rubbermaid tubs ...when I'm looking for a warmer all I need to do is slide one of my warmer tubs off the shelf and scan through it to find the one I'm looking for ,the picture of the warmer on the scentsy box makes it easy to find and the original box with the packaging keeps them safe... the most important part is I come from a long line of professional firefighters and police officers in my family ....they don't approve of fire hazards...when they come to visit they will point things out ...like my curtains are to long ,they're to close to your electric heat,your couch is to close to the wall / heat source,they even ask if my propane is shut off on my gass grill ( it always is, I turn the tank off while the grill is still on to burn the gas out of the line as well,)They check to see if I have smoke detectors in every room and ask when I did my last battery change (I change my batteries with every time change spring/ fall)candles are a big no no and so are Walmart warmers but they are okay with my mass amounts of Scentsy warmers all over my home...to have my fire fighter families approval on scentsy warmers speaks volumes..,they do this out of love,they want to make sure I'm safe ....even though I'm usually on top of things they will never stop checking my house for fire safety ...I'm ok with that especially on the off chance that they catch something I missed ..they've seen a lot of people loose everything they own over the smallest things that could have been avoided....like a burning candle left unattended...I love my family,I love my scentsy..... I'm a Scentsy customer for life!
Awesome comparison. I am also a Scentsy consultant. I have owned many different fragrance type items. Scentsy is my preference as well. All about personal choice. I have a couple small, wall style Walmart warmers that were given to me as gifts. I also have a few yankee warmers. They are all nice, however, Scentsy warmers are so well made and there are so many choices. And I like the fact the wax is food grade. Love your videos! Your energy is amazing!
I have a mix of warmers, Scentsy, Yankee Scenterpiece and Walmart. I use all. I melt all wax cubes in my Scenterpiece & Scentsy warmers, but I have to use Walmart warmers for my vendor wax. A hotter warmer is needed, so it's a positive Walmart has hotter warmers. I do like Scentsy scents and buy monthly, but Walmart and vendor wax definitely have far more selection and better price. Walmart has many scents, but vendors win with selection over everyone. Some vendors have like 700 scents for sale year round. i only buy from vendors who sell constantly though. I can't handle the restock rush some vendors require to buy from them. Strength, I like it strong, but I change wax very frequently so don't mind changing it every day.
@@apAvocado No vendor wax is wax made by private wax companies, like Front Porch, Kae's or Rosegirls. They buy the fragrance oils and make the wax themselves, running a small from home business. Wax melts sold from Walmart are retail companies.
So I don’t know how people say they work the same, after a while Walmart warmers bowls burn the wax in and it stains, also they burn you when picking them up. The wax begins to smell like wax and Scentsy was always smells good, I have the same cube in for two weeks I could never do that with Walmart!
Thank you for the update! Your information was fair and relevant. Seems it’s pretty simply a matter of getting what you pay for, right? I remember back in the day we used a votive candle to heat the wax and it was an ongoing and annoying process. But as usual, you’ve come across clear and concise! Thanks for doing the legwork on something most of us are curious about!
The Scentsy one is only better due to the beautiful scents and the warmer gets hotter then a regular warmer and all of know it takes heat for a good throw to melt the wax cubes
You should have compared a better homes and gardens warmer from Walmart to the scentsy warmer.. I have a festive ceramic one I got on clearance for 20$ a while back and the quality is on par with scentsy.
I mainly buy Scentsy to support my friend. She is really passionate about this company. I understand she has a monthly quota to meet. I don't mind buying a few clearance items to help her out.
There are things I love about both and things I don’t care for from both. I love to change my wax daily, sometimes twice a day. So for that I lean more towards Walmart wax (cheaper and loses fragrance quicker) but I do agree you can’t beat a good scenty warmer!
You can always change the Scentsy wax that often as well! You just pour it back in the clam shell and warm it again when your ready! I do that often! ❤
I have 4 scentsy warmers they are all full sized and I also have a couple of Walmart warmers that are element warmers. Haven’t tried the regular warmer from Walmart but I can say this. The element warmer from Walmart is far cheaper and works a lot better. It doesn’t matter how cold your room is like it dose when using scentsy warmers. And there are a lot of different wax you can use because it’s not a low temp warmer like scentsy. So.. that being said if you like smooth light scent and some pretty cool looking warmers go with scentsy. If you like a good solid scent going at a low price go with a element warmer for about 15$ I like them both so it’s just an honest opinion.
As a new scentsy customer as of christmas and so used to walmart scents i can definitely agree scentsy out performs walmart by far i have only one warmer and use 1 cube and it fills a 2 bedroom house with its scent.
I like scentsy wax but I don’t think the scent lasts long compared to other brands. I get 1 time use and can’t smell it the next day I that turn it on. The Scentsy warmers are a lot better though!
Lisa, I really wish Scentsy warmers were available with timers. I was going to buy my daughter a Scentsy warmer for Christmas but I wanted one with a timer so no sale. I ended up getting her a Yankee warmer.
Isn't there a plug in timer that you can purchase to plug things into? I know growing up my parents had one that they plugged a lamp into to cut on at certain times of the evening if we where out of town. Then where my husband works they did that for the Christmas lights to cut on and off during the evening till 11 at night. You plug it into the wall outlet then just plug the warmer into it.
@@none_ya001 I have a few of those timers but I like the warmers were you can just click to be on for 3, 6 or 9 hours. I don't necessarily want them to come on at a certain time.
I only have one Scentsy warmer and I don't love it. I have the classic in matte black and the wax doesn't pool completely and it doesn't warm the wax enough to get a decent throw, so I've never bought another one. With that being said I 100% agree that you can't compare the wax. I'm in a FB group where they talk about switching their scents out 2 to 3 times a day and I was baffled until I bought a few bars from walmart and then it all made sense. I would say that even if you go with the more economical warmers, the wax is hands down also more economical when you consider how often you have to change the wax out.... and seriously, whose trying to change wax multiple times a day? I hate doing it 1-2 times a week with Scentsy lol
chanin hensley I also have the matte black classic curve and I completely agree that it doesn’t pool the wax or fully melt around the sides of the dish, I was hesitant about purchasing another scentsy warmer for that reason but it’s been 5 years now and I have more warmers from scentsy than I can count and I haven’t had another other issues like that. I’m thinking it’s the shape of the warmer and dish itself? I don’t use that one anymore. Plus I find the dish doesn’t even sit on the warmer evenly either. Not a great warmer I would not recommend any of the classic curve warmers. But I love all my other warmers! Especially the etched core warmer! It’s by far my favourite warmer scentsy had ever done! It’s melts the wax and throws the scent like a champ! 🥰😀
@@courtneyblackburn6242 I agree the Etched Core Warmer by far is the best for throw and for the money! I have other Scentsy Warmers that I love as well. I guess I am partial to the Etched Core one probably because it was the first warmer I had ever purchased from Scentsy. :)
I own quite a few of Scentsy warmers, one thing that is very disappointing about Scentsy is their element warmers, the only use for them are for decor, they are only 8w and doesn’t throw at all! And Scentsy knows their useless but yet won’t sell higher watts, they use to sell them in 12w but for some reason stopped, at least the element warmers from Walmart is 18w and higher,
I have Scentsy warmers from 2009. They are still working but if one stopped then they would replace one that old? Great comparison video. Walmart wax gives me headaches. It’s that plastiky smell they give off. I have some Scentsy bars from 2007 and back then they had a lot more scented oils in them because the scent lasted forever in them when warming. I also still warm them and they still throw scent.
I am a big scentsy person I love it but it seems to me like in The past year or so they do not smell as strong and last as long like they change something .. Just curious
Walmart works for 3ish days, if your lucky... or you forget to turn it on. But scentsy last! It so so nice. But as a newly wed and college I just can afford it... but I will get scentsy when I can afford it! 😊
I LOVE the Briggs warmer!!!! Extremely beautiful design. I prefer it over the Scentsy one to be honest. Also, your hands were all over both of the 40w bulbs dear - of course it’ll have smudges lol! Thanks for the review!
Thank you for the video. I am a total Scentsy user, to me there is a definite difference. Scentsy is more money up front, but in the long haul-it's really not. My wax lasts 5 days or longer, depending on the fragrance, it burns for 12-14 hours each day. With the less expensive waxes they lose the fragrance a lot quicker and I smell that "old wax" smell..I hate changing wax on ANY warmer. The Walmart warmer just looked cheap in quality (not design) it had such thin flawed glass, the Scentsy warmers glass looked much more substantial/thicker. As soon as you lit the Walmart warmer you could see all the defects in the glass. I am super picky-no matter what amount of money I spend-I want the product in pristine condition. A comparison is showing the DIFFERENCES of the subject matter. I really like comparison videos because they are educational or they just reconfirm what I already know. My only wish is that Scentsy warmers had a timer on them. As always, thank you :)
Sew Ahem I just bought some smart plugs from amazon. They were $30 for 4 of them. I plug my warmers into those. I can turn them on and off from my phone and set timers. They’re awesome!
Girl I keep my warmers on 24/7. I have one from walmart one scenty we went out of town recently and I turned the walmart one off (didnt trust it and I didnt even know it said that!). Dont come for me I know I prob shouldnt leave them on all the time but have never had an issue with mine. The scents from the stores dont last as long also a small variety/ the scents are pretty basic I feel. I love scenty bars and the bundle and save isn't that expensive compared to a bath and body work candle or yankee, plus I can leave my wax burning while I'm not at home.
I think this is a great video. I have used Wal-Mart wax as well as Yankee, but I am 99% Scentsy wax. I feel Wal-Mart wax gets a hot wax smell quickly. Also, I purchased a Wal-Mart warmer and the heat it produced worried me so I stopped using it. I am team Scentsy for warmers and wax.
I wasn’t really interested in the Crystal Ice warmer until I saw it in your last “warmer tour” 😍 Oddly, I’ve never had to use my lifetime warranty on a Scentsy warmer but I have received non-Scentsy warmers as gifts and of course I used them because I’m sentimental like that but I’ve literally had to throw entire warmers in the trash! Even after purchasing replacement bulbs and switching outlets etc because I was in disbelief that a warmer would go out within days/weeks/months. Sooooo I just stick with what has been good to me and reliable.
I’m new customer and I just bought 5 packs of wax Roll of the dice wax Which is good but I would like to know that which wax gives sweet smell or most popular one
I had a Walmart warmer for a long time. I am a klutz… I have spilled wax on my self often… the Walmart wax has left scars Scentsy it stings for a Second then it stops.
great review. I only have better homes and garden warmers personally. I have a scentsy mini hoot and a couple scentsy holiday warmers in the large/standard size. I prefer the element warmers from better homes and gardens bc my hubs doesn't turn those off & they also double as a candle warmer. I did just replace my sons lighthouse warmer with a better homes & garden warmer with a timer. I am looking forward to any new scentsy element warmers in 2023/2023 year. I get good throw out of the better homes and gardens. Gonna look to see if you have a comparison video with BHG. The wax generally always end up smelling funky at some point. So I no longer by the walmart wax very often. It is my personal opinion as a consumer that scentsy wax is far superior to other products available that I have found in wax. The warmers themselves are also great but one could be just fine without a scentsy warmer. One should NOT live without the wax though. When you find a wax you love make sure you put it in your club!!!! don't have a club make sure to create one.
I'm also a scentsy consultant🙋♀️ and I have to say that I actually loved the Walmart warmer more, flaws and all UNTIL you turned them on. Wow, Scentsy's warmer is beautiful and definitely see its quality. Tbh, I've seen this warmer before but never paid much attention to it, now I have to have it! Lol
When I first started watching your channel (3 years ago) you were using candles as well as Scentsy. Do you still use the odd candle or are you strictly Scentsy now?
YES you are saying that Scentsy doesn’t make mistakes !!!!! Why do you keep showing all the imperfections on the cheaper Walmart warmer and not on the Scentsy warmer??? You keep talking about the 1 to 1 relationship but what do you actually do for customers?
What does she do for customers? Do u know what a consultant is? She’s amazing. And the thing is with the scentsy warmer she showed there are no imperfections, at least in her opinion
None of the cheaper waxes smell good to me. They just don't throw a scent. It's like I can't smell them in my home. When I did buy other wax from Walmart I only got the fabreeze or gain wax Melts and their 4.00. I just want my home to smell good all the time. And I love Scentsy so much, I just became a consultant. 😉
Scentsy warmers are legit the best- every other brand warmer I’ve ever tried has been poop compared to Scentsy. I will say I do find some great wax melts at Walmart- either BH&G or Yankee brands. I like to do an order of Scentsy and then buy the next stash from Walmart and so on... it gives my wallet a little break.
Hi Lisa, I have had both Scentsy & Walmart warmers/wax and never really thought that they were much difference, I noticed the refill bulbs at Walmart are the same wattage as Scentsy, so never really understood Scentsy's claim with how they don't get as hot. I know there are many factors in place though. I find many Walmart scents great & super reasonable but they don't last more than a day. However, I recently bought Twinkle from Scentsy and had Happy Birthday going (my favorite). In the other room, I had a hot plate warmer going with Walmart wax. When I went to clean them both up a couple days later, I noticed I could touch the Scentsy warmer and my finger got into the wax. No burn at all. I burnt myself of the hot plate one. I could barely stand to just grab the wax soaked cotton balls, I know light bulb vs hot plate isn't apples too apples but both 25 watts. I have kitties and if they got any wax spilled on the,, I would cry if it burned them. I don't think you came across bias. U stated pros/cons of each. Thanks for the video. I don't always want to spend $50 on a warmer and sometimes Walmart wax is readily available plus cheap but I am learning.
Sorry to be responding to a 3-year-old post but I just wanted to clarify something about wattage versus heat. Yes in general as the wattage goes up you would expect the heat of a bulb to go up (it does) and therefore you would assume that if they are the same wattage they would give off the same heat but this simply is not always true. The wattage = how much power you need to power the bulb; but the design and the efficiency of the filament, material/opacity of the bulb itself, and the design the electrical portion of the warmer are all going to have an effect on its efficiency. Whatever wattage that is not being used to convert to light (lumens) is left over wattage and that converts to heat. The Scentsy design is better, making their bulbs simply more efficient and uses more of the wattage for light. Therefore there is less wattage left over to convert to heat, and the unit stays cooler. It makes you wonder about the other warmers when they show the wattage and they get so hot they're actually less efficient and only using some of that wattage for light. I bet you they have a lower lumens output since there's so much converted to heat
I think that you were very fair in your comparisons. I thought the Wal-mart warmer looked cheap (like the glass is thin) & that it would crack easily. I love Scentsy warmers & wax , I tried a Yankee wax from Walmart to compare with my Johnny Appleseed that I love & couldn’t get. I was desperate!!! I know other waxes don’t work as well, needless to say I didn’t like it. I found that it stained my dish & was harder to get out with my cotton balls. But they just brought back Johnny Appleseed 👏👏 so I will be stocking up!!! I love all my Scentsy warmers. Die hard Scentsy fan....love the quality & there looks.
I needed to see this video! I decided to start scentsy this year. I love vendor wax, but it’s too much guessing with scents and it can be overwhelming. Also I think Walmart wax smells cheap and I’ve only ever loved one bar from the store. I’ve tried a lot from there. I also have two Edison warmers and they did nothing. Pretty, but did nothing with Walmart or vendor wax. I’m just giving my opinion, so that’s why I loved this video. I felt the same sniffing scentsy vs Walmart wax. TFS!
I love walmart wax. One cube last me two or three days, and in my finacal situation walmart is just the better wax for me. Also i dont use eletric, i use a burner that takes candles
I was less then 4 minutes into this video and my first impression of the Walmart warmer was: Cheap and fugly. I don't think I would have even have spent the $18 for it. I am a Scentsy Snob. Sorry, not sorry. It's like the saying goes, "You get what you pay for."
Question about the Scentsy Crystal Ice warmer..... Does anyone know if the color changes in any way when it is turned on? Does the color change to purple? I would love it if it stayed blue...wouldn’t really match my decor if it turned purplish. Any info is appreciated.
I know we chatted a little more about it this morning but it’s all blue in my eyes. I don’t see any purple personally. I did send you some other pictures so you can see in some different settings and lightings. I hope this helps. Xoxo
I feel she was just picking out things to try to compare the two, but failed at it. The Walmart is not going to be just like Scentsy because they could get sued.
Dear Lisa before I say how I feel let me tell you about myself. First, I have classes on fragrance making when I was at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Yes, I understand essential oils, accords, fragrance oils, aroma chemicals, and aldehydes. Now remember this ladies before you come at me. Yes, I will continue to buy Scentsy but I am not amazed with Scentsy. I have two Scentsy warmers and I have three of the same warmer from Amazon. The Amazon warmer is not a bulb warmer but has a built in ceramic heating system. The Amazon warmer performs way better then Scentsy bulb warmers. Your video is rather poor because you spent way to much time on packaging lol. Esthetic oh Scentsy wins 100% but that what Scentsy is about lol. I will say that Better Homes and Scentsationals performs much better then Scentsy. I live in an apt with small rooms. I have to use an entire Scentsy bar to get the level of scent I like where as I only need 4 cubes of Better Homes and Scentsationals. I have to put 4 cubes in my living room warmer and two in each of the other two warmers of Scentsy. Where as with Better Homes and Scentsationals I only use two cubes in living room and one cube in the other two warmers. I do not include bathroom because I put one cube of something fresh in with door closed. I would even say Better Homes and Scentsationals smell better in most of the scents. Now vendor wax is just bad to me as it smells like plastic or lip gloss like etc! Vendor wax is like throwing away your money to me but each to their own. Example today I put Scentsy warm apple pie in the warmers all eight cubes and let me tell you dear lady Scentsationals warm apple pie is way better! Yes, I have a well trained nose from my education so do not even go there lol! Over all esthetic Scentsy wins but Scentsy does not win in the wax performance. Happy melting dear!
I'm a Scentsy rep in Canada, just started selling last fall because I love their scents! I have about 6 warmers and I love them all....BUT, I did purchase a Wal-Mart Scent Sationals warmer last week in order to do a comparison. The old Wal-Mart warmer I had used a halogen type bulb that got really hot! I noticed the newer Scent Sationals warmers used the same wattage/types of bulbs as Scentsy. I have been using both brands daily for a week now, running them for the same time and using the same Scentsy wax scent in each. Have to say, the Scent Sationals is performing just as well as the Scentsy warmer. BUT, here's the tipping point...in Canada the Nova warmer from Scentsy is $66 Plus tax AND shipping. The Scent Sationals warmer that is exactly the same shape but smokey black/grey in design (same wattage bulb) was only $22.97 plus tax NO shipping. So...I could buy 3 from Wal-Mart for less than the cost of 1 Scentsy. Which is why I have a hard time selling warmers to customers. The price of the Scentsy warmers is just too high. I still love their wax, haven't found a better quality or scent selection for wax yet...plus I do love Scentsy's other lines, especially laundry! So I will continue to be a Scentsy lover/user but will only buy warmers that go on sale at a decent discount.
Glad to see a different kind of review! My husband is an industrial electrician and he gives thumbs up to Scentsy warmers. He decided to take a few warmers apart. He basically thinks Walmart warmers are a pos...maybe like buying a 100 pc tool set for $9.99 🙂. I spend more but I know where it’s made, how it’s made & I support that. Peace of mind. ❤️
As much as you were trying not to be biased..it was totally still there..but I might be the same if I was a consultant..I buy walmart and scentsy..I love both.
I am a lover of all things home fragrance and there are things I like and dislike about both. I was not trying to come across in the wrong way and hope this didn’t rub anyone the wrong way... just thought it may be a fun video as I like comparison videos for entertainment. 🤷🏻♀️
Lisa Rowberry, your viewers are obviously Scentsy lovers like I since it’s the season they watch your videos, a lot also buy Walmart for the reason of it being affordable, not everyone can afford to buy only Scentsy warmers and wax with it being 3 times the price plus shipping, it’s insensitive to make a comparison when they can see for them selves the quality and performance....Walmart warmers and wax work just fine why compare?
@@isabelr6292 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and reply. I am in no way trying to come across like I am tearing down another company. I personally find these types of comparison videos to be entertaining. I am a lover of all home fragrance and appreciate the convenience of being able to walk into a store to make a purchase. I was only sharing my quirky views and preferences on silly things like the light bulb. I am a lover of all things home fragrance and was not trying to bash anyone in any kind of way and I apologize that it came across that way.
@@isabelr6292 It's not insensitive it's an opinion and guess what, it's okay to have one.
I agree she was very. And I buy both too and love both differently.
I buy Scentsy mostly for the scents and I have a good friend that sells it and I like to support her. But it is pricey! Especially for the warmers! $50 and up is NOT in my budget for a warmer. If I want a cute seasonal warmer, I tend to get those from Walmart because of the price. If they end up not working or breaking for whatever reason, at least I only spent $15. The Walmart wax is cheap and I don't really care because they have some good scents. The Farm Apple Pumpkin is a dupe for Scentsy's Cider Mill, it's two dollars. Though honestly, I buy both every fall. I also love the hot plate style warmers from Candle Warmers when I don't want light from my warmer at night. Those are about $20, good quality and work with any wax that I put in them, Scentsy, indie vendor, and Walmart wax. I never leave any warmers on when I'm not home, even the one Scentsy one I do have (the Alex's Lemonade Stand one) and It just rubs me the wrong way when a Scentsy consultant tells you that a Walmart warmer is a fire hazard. Well, so is your toaster, hair dryer, and anything else you plug in. Just my two cents. I will continue to support my friend and buy Scentsy from her, but no one is going to convince me to use Scentsy wax and warmers exclusively when there are good quality, less expensive options out there!
I have both and use both but they are no way on the same level, My walmart one gets so hot it burns me within a short time on my scebtsy one can be on all day and stays warm not hot, my scentsy one I bought SEVEN years ago and is still perfect even with the same 7 year old light bulb, I use my walmart one and enjoy it but its not anywhere near as nice as my scentsy one. Walmart waxes are not my cup of tea if anything I could go by and use a walmart warmer but will always use scentsy waxes for sure.
I am a recent Scentsy and wax convert, having always been a traditional candle fan. It wasn’t until we redid some rooms in our house that I saw what a mess the candles were making. Unfortunately, I started on the lower end of the wax spectrum and was about to throw in the towel until I discovered Scentsy. This video really does prove you get what you pay for. I’ve always been about quality over quantity so I’ve bought Scentsy warmers that can be out all year long vs. the more seasonal ones to start out and can slowly add to my collection. The wax has convinced me I’m not “settling” by letting go of my candles and my freshly painted (clean) walls are grateful too! The only other wax I still use is from Goose Creek Candles - just under Scentsy quality with some really unique scents. Thanks Lisa for the always informative videos especially when you’re new to the world of wax.
I prefer Scentsy but I will buy other wax locally on occasion purely for the ease of access and cost. Even though the quality may not be there, sometimes it is just nice to be able to shop and have it in my home in one day instead of having to guess if I'll like a fragrance and then have to wait a week to get it and pay for shipping.
I love you, this was so funny to see you try and talk through your natural bias. I have 75% Scentsy and 20% Candle Warmers and 1 Walmart. All work just fine. Scentsy are prettier for sure.
Iike scentsy because it's an American company. I would rather pay a little more for American quality, America jobs, and American families.
Another great video Lisa! A HUGE part of why I like Scentsy more than mass brand store warmers and wax is the REMOVAL of the wax. With Scentsy, it's so easy. It comes out in one solid puck and is so easy to get out of your warmer. Have you ever tried to remove the wax from another brand's warmers? It's a nightmare. You simply cannot get them out cold and hot is a huge mission too. Also, the temperature of the warmers and the wax is a dealbreaker for me because if theyre getting that hot, theyre just scorching the fragrance inside. I think I have tried every brand on the planet. Scentsy just outperforms all others and I'm not a consultant. Just a diehard.
I use cotton balls to take my wax out of my warmers. They work great! Soaks up the wax quick and just throw them away!
This review was pretty biased I understand you're a Scentsy Consultant however I have bought the Crystal warmer from scentsy and it performed horribly 40w for $50 is way too much for it. It is unattractive when lit and so bright like florescent light. I gave it away. I love scentsy but I try all types of warmers and I don't think they're the best out there. The wax is what keeps me coming back. I really love your videos I've seen everyone but this one is my least favorite. But I'm a fan. Just being honest. Happy New Year 😁
I am a lover of all things home fragrance and there are things I like and dislike about both. I was not trying to come across in the wrong way and hope this didn’t rub anyone the wrong way... just thought it may be a fun video as I like comparison videos for entertainment. 🤷🏻♀️ I am sorry you were not happy with the Crystal Ice warmer.
@@LisaRowberry no worries, thank you for your comment especially your videos. I enjoy them.
@m seal it performed like a full size scentsy warmer, I was expecting higher throw bc of the higher wattage. But no it performed well. I just was wanting a higher throw . I'm sure your parents will love it 😁
you can always host a party with a scentsy consultant and get your warmers and wax for 1/2 and FREE
It is a toss up for me on who wins on wax vs warmers. For Scentsy, if you only use Scentsy wax, then it works since it's tested for that. But I use mostly vendor wax, and Scentsy warmers rarely performs well with those. Which is why Scentsy warmers have a bad rap in the vendor wax community. Nonetheless, I appreciate the craftmanship & out of the box uniqueness with Scentsy warmers.
An outstanding Scentsy warmer is the Accord hot plate. That one performs as good as my favorite wax warmer brands - Candle Warmers, Etc. and Pink Zebra.
An equally outstanding Walmart warmer is the Scentsationals Mosaic Royal Plume warmer. Stunning, petite, and throws like a champ! Try Pink Sugar Berry or Orange Buttercream wax melts...I think it's by BHGardens.
Thanks for the updated views:)
True I agree, you can use Scentsy wax in any warmer. But you cant use all wax in Scentsys warmers. Most of other waxes are harder and need a hotter plate/ warmer.
They need a hotter plate/ warmer... which also makes the wax more of a danger, along with the warmer being that they will obviously both get warmer to the touch. Does that mean they aren't good? Of course not. Depending on your circumstances at home (kids, pets, e.t.c), that's a big deal.
@@Rosetta.Padillaexactly! I'm more of a Scentsy wax consumer...Winterberry Apple Tea, Pink Haze (retired), Thunderstorm, Luna, Blueberry Cheescake, Pumpkin Marshmallow, and Ginger & Spruce stay in rotation. 😊 I try to tell folks to learn about the wax types (paraffin, vegetable, soy, beeswax, coconut, blended, etc) and try out diff warmers ((bulbs (halogen, edison, standard), high and low wattage hot plates/element, etc)) and learn as you go!
No brand is a one size fits all. 👍🏾
@@mitchellesouthern5171 hotter, yes, but there's still a spectrum. Scentsy's hottest is what, a 12watt? I had the Diamond milk glass warmer. I donated it.
17Watt hot plates are still touchable! Kids and all. That's mostly what I use from Candle Warmers, Etc.
I'm not a fan of 20 and 24 watts (like the old Glade hot plate). Those get super hot. But, to each his or her own.
@@snmpvamu True! And I will say I do believe more store bought warners have become more thoughtful to the heat aspect. I definitely see a difference between our regular warmers and our element warmers. I don't feel our element warmers have as great of a throw as our regular warmers with a bulb.
I actually have Wal-Mart to thank for turning me into a Scentsy addict 😅 those were the first wax melts I bought from there, and fell in love with flameless fragrance! Scentsy forever ❤
Me too.
I love watching your videos. Before I was Scentsy lover, i brought a Walmart Warmer a few years ago and it Caught on Fire. scentsy is the best warmers they have a life time warranty.
m seal i can’t remember it was a long time ago. It was a red warmer.
I still maintain that consultants should not do these videos. As unbiased as you are trying to be, its still quite obvious. The things that scentsy has over BH&G are a greater varity of more complex and unique scents and the ability to unify a scent through multiple products. Those things should be celebrated instead of tearing down BH&G with trivial opinions like having no consultant or the warmer having a pre-installed bulb. I use both daily and they have the same quality and performance, and yes some BH&G scents do better than Scentsy.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and reply. I am in no way trying to come across like I am tearing down another company. I personally find these types of comparison videos to be entertaining. I am a lover of all home fragrance and appreciate the convenience of being able to walk into a store to make a purchase.

You should do another comparison but using a scentsy bar on a Walmart warmer & a Walmart wax bar on a scentsy warmer.
I love my Scentsy warmers and my Scentsy wax . I have Walmart also, I think Scentsy is better quality.
I love scentsy but Walmart is just more affordable! My dollar tree sells wax bars now and they smell just as amazing as scentsy and I need to change my wax every two days no matter what wax I use! I’ve had Walmart warmers for years and left them on and never had a house fire lol. I have also touch the wax in a Walmart and scentsy warmer and they were both just as hot.
I have tried wax and warmers from Lots of different places, garden centres, yankee candle warmers etc, and scentsy is by far the best. The smell lasts longer and smells amazing. I'm in the UK and have found no fragrance systems better than scentsy x
Yes the Scentsy warmers are way better made & I love the quality of Scentsy warmers! Scentsy have way more selection than the Walmart warmers! Yup I have a fair sized collection of awesome Scentsy warmers & awesome Scentsy fragrances too that I got through my Scentsy consultant! I always buy Scentsy! Great comparison too!😇😇😇
I’ve always loved Walmart’s scents, but my friend is a new scentsy consultant, so I purchased my first scentsy products! I’m excited to receive them and see which I like better. For now, I like the packaging of Walmart’s better because I like the photo’s on the packaging; as well as the simple shape of the packaging which makes it easier to store away :)
I started years ago with Walmart warmers and I wasn’t a fan then I found out about Scentsy when I started watching you years ago and I’ve love Scentsy ever since . The scents are so much better and the warmers are so much better quality in Scentsy ❤️❤️❤️
Not sure I could put a price tag on fire safety. I feel 100% confident my Scentsy warmers are safe, even when left on 24/7. I would always worry about an electrical defect with the Walmart brand. I’ll stick with Scentsy 💜💜💜
As for warmers, my aesthetic matches the Walmart one because it looks a little more farmhouse, which is more my cup of tea. The crystal would maybe be cute in my daughter’s room, but not out in my kitchen.
But for the price that it cost, it suits people who are on a budget and does the job. I personally always will choose Scentsy, however, if I were in a pinch and would like to have my house smelling nice, I’d go with Walmart. I think it’s good for what it’s for.
Absolutely! I agree 100%. I think for the price its a really really great value! And the convenience of being able to walk into a store and pick out your warmer and smell your wax there before purchasing is a great bonus.
Room size, open concept vs bedroom/office can make a huge difference as well. I prefer Scentsy but I think they are so pricey that lots of people won’t even consider them. Also, let’s be honest, some Scentsy consultants drive people insane with their “sales pitch”. I’m sure you aren’t that way but there are a lot of pushy sales people out there. I love your videos and watch every one of them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and reply to my video. It really does mean a lot. I know exactly what you are talking about with the whole sales pitch thing when dealing with a consultant so I can absolutely see why some people may prefer walking into a store to purchase their wax and warmers so they don’t have to deal with that exact thing. I am a lover of all things home fragrance and thought this would be a fun video to do. I find comparison videos to be entertaining so I hope that’s how this is taken and not taken the wrong way. I find great and not so great things about both brands as you will with anything. Thank you again for your support! It means a lot.
I love your honesty and the videos are always informative.
I am just now searching what Scentsy is all about and how it works. Thank you for this very informative video. I will check it out
The scentsy light bulbs last triple the time the Wal-Mart bulbs as well..and yes the Wal-Mart gets hotter so your fragrance from the wax doesn't last as long ..Wal-Mart gives you only a day or 2 for fragrance whereas scentsy I can get 4 or 5 days of fragrance depending on particular wax
I think Scentsy warmers are safer too! In all wax groups, all the posts about their warmers smoking or charring or turning black where the cords connect are the cheaper Walmart warmers, I’ve never seen a Scentsy warmer do that. I also notice that Walmart warmers feel much hotter to the touch! Makes me very nervous. I only buy Scentsy warmers because of that!
I wrote this before I got to the part where you talked about how much hotter they are! Now I am double convinced haha
Another great video! I'll always be a fan! Always appreciate the honesty in your reviews! ❤
I buy some Scentsy warmers for night lights only because they don't throw worth a darn. 😄 Yes, they are pretty but I need warmers that perform and have a great throw, so my go-to⁰ warmers for that are my Candle Warmers. My Candle Warmers blow Scentsy out of the water! Now, my prettiest warmer is the Sensationals Lemonade warmer and it performs like a champ. Also, I've tried plenty of Scentsy wax and to me it smells cheap and is weak. I like Walmart wax but my favorite wax is by far vendor wax. If I had to spend my money on either Scentsy or Walmart wax I would always choose Walmart because you get 3 times more for your money and better performance. And as far as needing a consultant for instructions on what to do with my warmer I feel that's a weak arguement because what instruction do you actually need other then plug your warmer in and place the wax in the dish.🤣 Also, I've never had a Walmart warmer break on me but I have recently purchased the "Frosty" warmer from Scentsy and it arrived defective. Now I have to wait on a replacement where as if it were a Walmart warmer I would have a replacement by now with just a quick drive to the store. 🤷♀️
I so agree the Candle Warmers are the best on the market and I've use all types.
When you refer to "Candle Warmers" is that a brand or do you mean warmers that use a votive candle to warm? Also, what is "vendor wax"? Thanks much! ;)
My dogs with breathing issues don’t do well with the cheaper wax like Walmart and yankee. Scentsy doesn’t seem to bother them nearly as much. I wonder if food grade paraffin is the difference? Have you tried scentsy wax in your Walmart warmer? I bet the scent will vanish just as fast. I noticed it with my glade hot plate. It gave a good throw then the scent vanished. I think the heat from the warmers kill the scent
When they burn hotter, they definitely go through the oils in the wax faster. So you're correct, even a wax in the same class as Scentsy, with typically 40% more oils in the wax, will fizzle out faster when warming at a higher temperature.
DO NOT use wax or candles at all around animals with respitory problems. It is the oils, not the wax. Please talk to your vet before using wax again around your dog as the oils could be causing irrepairable damage.
Nitewulf my vet said the same, not to use scented products around the home. I got rid of most of my scentsy stash a few months ago :(
Walmart wax is ok. But scentsy lasts so much longer. Hands down. Walmart does have some yummy choices but they do smell like wax after the first day. I wish scentsy would come out with a vanilla cookie crunch lol. It’s the one that I always go back to Walmart for.
I’m using the vanilla cookie crunch rn lol
Oh thank heaven I'm not the only one who feels the same about Walmart wax!! I tried it for shits and giggles😊 I got about 2 hours out of the Walmart wax,it's throw was non existent and the clean up was aweful! I use the cotton ball method to change out my scentsy wax ...I tried it with Walmart wax,it didn't absorb the wax...I'm used to my scentsy wax being sucked up like a sponge quick,easy clean up,pop in more wax ,done...the Walmart wax was a lot more labor intensive... I also dislike getting Walmart wax all over my manicure which doesn't happen with Scentsy wax using the cotton ball method ....I also store my Scentsy warmers back in their original boxes in big clear Rubbermaid tubs ...when I'm looking for a warmer all I need to do is slide one of my warmer tubs off the shelf and scan through it to find the one I'm looking for ,the picture of the warmer on the scentsy box makes it easy to find and the original box with the packaging keeps them safe... the most important part is I come from a long line of professional firefighters and police officers in my family ....they don't approve of fire hazards...when they come to visit they will point things out ...like my curtains are to long ,they're to close to your electric heat,your couch is to close to the wall / heat source,they even ask if my propane is shut off on my gass grill ( it always is, I turn the tank off while the grill is still on to burn the gas out of the line as well,)They check to see if I have smoke detectors in every room and ask when I did my last battery change (I change my batteries with every time change spring/ fall)candles are a big no no and so are Walmart warmers but they are okay with my mass amounts of Scentsy warmers all over my home...to have my fire fighter families approval on scentsy warmers speaks volumes..,they do this out of love,they want to make sure I'm safe ....even though I'm usually on top of things they will never stop checking my house for fire safety ...I'm ok with that especially on the off chance that they catch something I missed ..they've seen a lot of people loose everything they own over the smallest things that could have been avoided....like a burning candle left unattended...I love my family,I love my scentsy..... I'm a Scentsy customer for life!
I'm Scentsy consultant in Louisiana I just started but I love the scentsy warmers and waxes
Awesome comparison. I am also a Scentsy consultant. I have owned many different fragrance type items. Scentsy is my preference as well. All about personal choice. I have a couple small, wall style Walmart warmers that were given to me as gifts. I also have a few yankee warmers. They are all nice, however, Scentsy warmers are so well made and there are so many choices. And I like the fact the wax is food grade.
Love your videos! Your energy is amazing!
I have a mix of warmers, Scentsy, Yankee Scenterpiece and Walmart. I use all. I melt all wax cubes in my Scenterpiece & Scentsy warmers, but I have to use Walmart warmers for my vendor wax. A hotter warmer is needed, so it's a positive Walmart has hotter warmers. I do like Scentsy scents and buy monthly, but Walmart and vendor wax definitely have far more selection and better price. Walmart has many scents, but vendors win with selection over everyone. Some vendors have like 700 scents for sale year round. i only buy from vendors who sell constantly though. I can't handle the restock rush some vendors require to buy from them. Strength, I like it strong, but I change wax very frequently so don't mind changing it every day.
I'm sorry but what is vendor wax? Is that wax cubes sold by Walmart and Target? I'm confused.
@@apAvocado No vendor wax is wax made by private wax companies, like Front Porch, Kae's or Rosegirls. They buy the fragrance oils and make the wax themselves, running a small from home business. Wax melts sold from Walmart are retail companies.
So I don’t know how people say they work the same, after a while Walmart warmers bowls burn the wax in and it stains, also they burn you when picking them up. The wax begins to smell like wax and Scentsy was always smells good, I have the same cube in for two weeks I could never do that with Walmart!
Thank you for the update! Your information was fair and relevant. Seems it’s pretty simply a matter of getting what you pay for, right?
I remember back in the day we used a votive candle to heat the wax and it was an ongoing and annoying process. But as usual, you’ve come across clear and concise! Thanks for doing the legwork on something most of us are curious about!
The Scentsy one is only better due to the beautiful scents and the warmer gets hotter then a regular warmer and all of know it takes heat for a good throw to melt the wax cubes
You should have compared a better homes and gardens warmer from Walmart to the scentsy warmer.. I have a festive ceramic one I got on clearance for 20$ a while back and the quality is on par with scentsy.
I have bought Walmart warmers and wax before, you definitely pay less at Walmart, however I know I am paying for quality products with Scentsy.😊
My Walmart Warmer came with a lifetime warranty. It had a paper you fill out and mail in to have your warranty.
I mainly buy Scentsy to support my friend. She is really passionate about this company. I understand she has a monthly quota to meet. I don't mind buying a few clearance items to help her out.
There are things I love about both and things I don’t care for from both. I love to change my wax daily, sometimes twice a day. So for that I lean more towards Walmart wax (cheaper and loses fragrance quicker) but I do agree you can’t beat a good scenty warmer!
You can always change the Scentsy wax that often as well! You just pour it back in the clam shell and warm it again when your ready! I do that often! ❤
I have 4 scentsy warmers they are all full sized and I also have a couple of Walmart warmers that are element warmers. Haven’t tried the regular warmer from Walmart but I can say this. The element warmer from Walmart is far cheaper and works a lot better. It doesn’t matter how cold your room is like it dose when using scentsy warmers. And there are a lot of different wax you can use because it’s not a low temp warmer like scentsy. So.. that being said if you like smooth light scent and some pretty cool looking warmers go with scentsy. If you like a good solid scent going at a low price go with a element warmer for about 15$ I like them both so it’s just an honest opinion.
As a new scentsy customer as of christmas and so used to walmart scents i can definitely agree scentsy out performs walmart by far i have only one warmer and use 1 cube and it fills a 2 bedroom house with its scent.
I like scentsy wax but I don’t think the scent lasts long compared to other brands. I get 1 time use and can’t smell it the next day I that turn it on. The Scentsy warmers are a lot better though!
Lisa, I really wish Scentsy warmers were available with timers. I was going to buy my daughter a Scentsy warmer for Christmas but I wanted one with a timer so no sale. I ended up getting her a Yankee warmer.
Isn't there a plug in timer that you can purchase to plug things into? I know growing up my parents had one that they plugged a lamp into to cut on at certain times of the evening if we where out of town. Then where my husband works they did that for the Christmas lights to cut on and off during the evening till 11 at night. You plug it into the wall outlet then just plug the warmer into it.
@@none_ya001 I have a few of those timers but I like the warmers were you can just click to be on for 3, 6 or 9 hours. I don't necessarily want them to come on at a certain time.
@@mariannesarna Ohhh gotcha!
I'll splurge for scentsy warmers but not wax melts. I love Walmart wax 😀
did I really expect an unbiased result
I only have one Scentsy warmer and I don't love it. I have the classic in matte black and the wax doesn't pool completely and it doesn't warm the wax enough to get a decent throw, so I've never bought another one. With that being said I 100% agree that you can't compare the wax. I'm in a FB group where they talk about switching their scents out 2 to 3 times a day and I was baffled until I bought a few bars from walmart and then it all made sense. I would say that even if you go with the more economical warmers, the wax is hands down also more economical when you consider how often you have to change the wax out.... and seriously, whose trying to change wax multiple times a day? I hate doing it 1-2 times a week with Scentsy lol
chanin hensley I also have the matte black classic curve and I completely agree that it doesn’t pool the wax or fully melt around the sides of the dish, I was hesitant about purchasing another scentsy warmer for that reason but it’s been 5 years now and I have more warmers from scentsy than I can count and I haven’t had another other issues like that. I’m thinking it’s the shape of the warmer and dish itself? I don’t use that one anymore. Plus I find the dish doesn’t even sit on the warmer evenly either. Not a great warmer I would not recommend any of the classic curve warmers. But I love all my other warmers! Especially the etched core warmer! It’s by far my favourite warmer scentsy had ever done! It’s melts the wax and throws the scent like a champ! 🥰😀
@@courtneyblackburn6242 I agree the Etched Core Warmer by far is the best for throw and for the money! I have other Scentsy Warmers that I love as well. I guess I am partial to the Etched Core one probably because it was the first warmer I had ever purchased from Scentsy. :)
I own quite a few of Scentsy warmers, one thing that is very disappointing about Scentsy is their element warmers, the only use for them are for decor, they are only 8w and doesn’t throw at all! And Scentsy knows their useless but yet won’t sell higher watts, they use to sell them in 12w but for some reason stopped, at least the element warmers from Walmart is 18w and higher,
Frankly between the 2 you showed I much prefer the look of the Walmart warmer. JMO
I have Scentsy warmers from 2009. They are still working but if one stopped then they would replace one that old? Great comparison video. Walmart wax gives me headaches. It’s that plastiky smell they give off. I have some Scentsy bars from 2007 and back then they had a lot more scented oils in them because the scent lasted forever in them when warming. I also still warm them and they still throw scent.
I am a big scentsy person I love it but it seems to me like in The past year or so they do not smell as strong and last as long like they change something .. Just curious
2 very shocking things for me was that electrical/kids warning and the different size of bulbs! Thanks for taking the time to compare! :)
Walmart works for 3ish days, if your lucky... or you forget to turn it on. But scentsy last! It so so nice. But as a newly wed and college I just can afford it... but I will get scentsy when I can afford it! 😊
Great video!! Thanks for your honesty!!
I LOVE the Briggs warmer!!!! Extremely beautiful design. I prefer it over the Scentsy one to be honest. Also, your hands were all over both of the 40w bulbs dear - of course it’ll have smudges lol! Thanks for the review!
Thank you for the video. I am a total Scentsy user, to me there is a definite difference. Scentsy is more money up front, but in the long haul-it's really not.
My wax lasts 5 days or longer, depending on the fragrance, it burns for 12-14 hours each day.
With the less expensive waxes they lose the fragrance a lot quicker and I smell that "old wax" smell..I hate changing wax on ANY warmer.
The Walmart warmer just looked cheap in quality (not design) it had such thin flawed glass, the Scentsy warmers glass looked much more substantial/thicker. As soon as you lit the Walmart warmer you could see all the defects in the glass. I am super picky-no matter what amount of money I spend-I want the product in pristine condition.
A comparison is showing the DIFFERENCES of the subject matter. I really like comparison videos because they are educational or they just reconfirm what I already know.
My only wish is that Scentsy warmers had a timer on them.
As always, thank you :)
Sew Ahem I just bought some smart plugs from amazon. They were $30 for 4 of them. I plug my warmers into those. I can turn them on and off from my phone and set timers. They’re awesome!
Girl I keep my warmers on 24/7. I have one from walmart one scenty we went out of town recently and I turned the walmart one off (didnt trust it and I didnt even know it said that!). Dont come for me I know I prob shouldnt leave them on all the time but have never had an issue with mine. The scents from the stores dont last as long also a small variety/ the scents are pretty basic I feel. I love scenty bars and the bundle and save isn't that expensive compared to a bath and body work candle or yankee, plus I can leave my wax burning while I'm not at home.
I think this is a great video. I have used Wal-Mart wax as well as Yankee, but I am 99% Scentsy wax. I feel Wal-Mart wax gets a hot wax smell quickly. Also, I purchased a Wal-Mart warmer and the heat it produced worried me so I stopped using it. I am team Scentsy for warmers and wax.
I wasn’t really interested in the Crystal Ice warmer until I saw it in your last “warmer tour” 😍
Oddly, I’ve never had to use my lifetime warranty on a Scentsy warmer but I have received non-Scentsy warmers as gifts and of course I used them because I’m sentimental like that but I’ve literally had to throw entire warmers in the trash! Even after purchasing replacement bulbs and switching outlets etc because I was in disbelief that a warmer would go out within days/weeks/months. Sooooo I just stick with what has been good to me and reliable.
I’m new customer and I just bought 5 packs of wax Roll of the dice wax
Which is good but I would like to know that which wax gives sweet smell or most popular one
u said there was fingerprints on the lightbulb and on the warmer but u were literally touching it where the marks were
I had a Walmart warmer for a long time. I am a klutz… I have spilled wax on my self often… the Walmart wax has left scars Scentsy it stings for a Second then it stops.
great review. I only have better homes and garden warmers personally. I have a scentsy mini hoot and a couple scentsy holiday warmers in the large/standard size. I prefer the element warmers from better homes and gardens bc my hubs doesn't turn those off & they also double as a candle warmer. I did just replace my sons lighthouse warmer with a better homes & garden warmer with a timer. I am looking forward to any new scentsy element warmers in 2023/2023 year. I get good throw out of the better homes and gardens. Gonna look to see if you have a comparison video with BHG. The wax generally always end up smelling funky at some point. So I no longer by the walmart wax very often. It is my personal opinion as a consumer that scentsy wax is far superior to other products available that I have found in wax. The warmers themselves are also great but one could be just fine without a scentsy warmer. One should NOT live without the wax though. When you find a wax you love make sure you put it in your club!!!! don't have a club make sure to create one.
I'm also a scentsy consultant🙋♀️ and I have to say that I actually loved the Walmart warmer more, flaws and all UNTIL you turned them on. Wow, Scentsy's warmer is beautiful and definitely see its quality. Tbh, I've seen this warmer before but never paid much attention to it, now I have to have it! Lol
I can’t buy from Walmart because my kids think they all smell like syrup
A year later same! I thought my husband was crazy! I'm like nooo it's a cinnamon donut 🤣
When I first started watching your channel (3 years ago) you were using candles as well as Scentsy. Do you still use the odd candle or are you strictly Scentsy now?
I do still burn candles from time to time. Which is why I say I love all things home fragrance. I do use Scentsy mostly but I love all home fragrance.
Wow I did not realize Scentsy wrapped their warmers so well! Are usually tear into it like a rabid bare… I need to be more carful… lol. 🤦♀️
????
YES you are saying that Scentsy doesn’t make mistakes !!!!! Why do you keep showing all the imperfections on the cheaper Walmart warmer and not on the Scentsy warmer??? You keep talking about the 1 to 1 relationship but what do you actually do for customers?
What does she do for customers? Do u know what a consultant is? She’s amazing. And the thing is with the scentsy warmer she showed there are no imperfections, at least in her opinion
I prefer the scentsationals wax to the better homes & garden for sure! Never have had any luck with the BHG. Still want to try Scentsy!!!
None of the cheaper waxes smell good to me. They just don't throw a scent. It's like I can't smell them in my home. When I did buy other wax from Walmart I only got the fabreeze or gain wax Melts and their 4.00. I just want my home to smell good all the time. And I love Scentsy so much, I just became a consultant. 😉
Scentsy warmers are legit the best- every other brand warmer I’ve ever tried has been poop compared to Scentsy. I will say I do find some great wax melts at Walmart- either BH&G or Yankee brands. I like to do an order of Scentsy and then buy the next stash from Walmart and so on... it gives my wallet a little break.
The Scentsy warmer defiantly looks better while turned on
Hi Lisa, I have had both Scentsy & Walmart warmers/wax and never really thought that they were much difference, I noticed the refill bulbs at Walmart are the same wattage as Scentsy, so never really understood Scentsy's claim with how they don't get as hot. I know there are many factors in place though. I find many Walmart scents great & super reasonable but they don't last more than a day. However, I recently bought Twinkle from Scentsy and had Happy Birthday going (my favorite). In the other room, I had a hot plate warmer going with Walmart wax. When I went to clean them both up a couple days later, I noticed I could touch the Scentsy warmer and my finger got into the wax. No burn at all. I burnt myself of the hot plate one. I could barely stand to just grab the wax soaked cotton balls, I know light bulb vs hot plate isn't apples too apples but both 25 watts. I have kitties and if they got any wax spilled on the,, I would cry if it burned them. I don't think you came across bias. U stated pros/cons of each. Thanks for the video. I don't always want to spend $50 on a warmer and sometimes Walmart wax is readily available plus cheap but I am learning.
Sorry to be responding to a 3-year-old post but I just wanted to clarify something about wattage versus heat. Yes in general as the wattage goes up you would expect the heat of a bulb to go up (it does) and therefore you would assume that if they are the same wattage they would give off the same heat but this simply is not always true. The wattage = how much power you need to power the bulb; but the design and the efficiency of the filament, material/opacity of the bulb itself, and the design the electrical portion of the warmer are all going to have an effect on its efficiency. Whatever wattage that is not being used to convert to light (lumens) is left over wattage and that converts to heat. The Scentsy design is better, making their bulbs simply more efficient and uses more of the wattage for light. Therefore there is less wattage left over to convert to heat, and the unit stays cooler. It makes you wonder about the other warmers when they show the wattage and they get so hot they're actually less efficient and only using some of that wattage for light. I bet you they have a lower lumens output since there's so much converted to heat
I think that you were very fair in your comparisons. I thought the Wal-mart warmer looked cheap (like the glass is thin) & that it would crack easily. I love Scentsy warmers & wax , I tried a Yankee wax from Walmart to compare with my Johnny Appleseed that I love & couldn’t get. I was desperate!!! I know other waxes don’t work as well, needless to say I didn’t like it. I found that it stained my dish & was harder to get out with my cotton balls. But they just brought back Johnny Appleseed 👏👏 so I will be stocking up!!! I love all my Scentsy warmers. Die hard Scentsy fan....love the quality & there looks.
I am new to the scentsy worl are the bolws hard to clean after it's finished?
I needed to see this video! I decided to start scentsy this year. I love vendor wax, but it’s too much guessing with scents and it can be overwhelming. Also I think Walmart wax smells cheap and I’ve only ever loved one bar from the store. I’ve tried a lot from there. I also have two Edison warmers and they did nothing. Pretty, but did nothing with Walmart or vendor wax. I’m just giving my opinion, so that’s why I loved this video. I felt the same sniffing scentsy vs Walmart wax. TFS!
I love walmart wax. One cube last me two or three days, and in my finacal situation walmart is just the better wax for me. Also i dont use eletric, i use a burner that takes candles
They are both good on their own ways for sure.
I was less then 4 minutes into this video and my first impression of the Walmart warmer was: Cheap and fugly. I don't think I would have even have spent the $18 for it. I am a Scentsy Snob. Sorry, not sorry. It's like the saying goes, "You get what you pay for."
I always advise my customers to only use scentsy wax in a Scentsy warmer. Melting Walmart wax in a Walmart warmer for optimum performance.
I love my Walmart burners but I prefer the scentsy wax
Okay in the Carton of Scentsy warmes are in intruductions, but you have a Consultant and a Party Perhaps. You don‘t Need this around the carton
Love this!!
does a Scentsy wax perform the same if we places on a walmart warmer?
I thought it’s better wax when takes longer ?
Question about the Scentsy Crystal Ice warmer.....
Does anyone know if the color changes in any way when it is turned on? Does the color change to purple? I would love it if it stayed blue...wouldn’t really match my decor if it turned purplish. Any info is appreciated.
I know we chatted a little more about it this morning but it’s all blue in my eyes. I don’t see any purple personally. I did send you some other pictures so you can see in some different settings and lightings. I hope this helps. Xoxo
An idea is put them in separate rooms to really see the difference 😁😁. Love the video
She did put them in separate rooms once she started warming them. She talks about that quite a bit in three video. ❤
Once I really started warming the wax I placed my walmart warmer downstairs and my Scentsy warmer in a completely different room upstairs.
Scentsy wax is soft and melts . Must be in a cool room.
I feel she was just picking out things to try to compare the two, but failed at it. The Walmart is not going to be just like Scentsy because they could get sued.
Sweetie, please take that Walmart warmer back! 🤦🏽♀️
In what Store the Walmart sale scentsy in allá country
Great minds think alike!!
I hate store wax they have alot of generic waxy scented wax.. or smells like grandma's musk perfume.
in Spanish?
Dear Lisa before I say how I feel let me tell you about myself. First, I have classes on fragrance making when I was at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Yes, I understand essential oils, accords, fragrance oils, aroma chemicals, and aldehydes. Now remember this ladies before you come at me. Yes, I will continue to buy Scentsy but I am not amazed with Scentsy. I have two Scentsy warmers and I have three of the same warmer from Amazon. The Amazon warmer is not a bulb warmer but has a built in ceramic heating system. The Amazon warmer performs way better then Scentsy bulb warmers. Your video is rather poor because you spent way to much time on packaging lol. Esthetic oh Scentsy wins 100% but that what Scentsy is about lol.
I will say that Better Homes and Scentsationals performs much better then Scentsy. I live in an apt with small rooms. I have to use an entire Scentsy bar to get the level of scent I like where as I only need 4 cubes of Better Homes and Scentsationals. I have to put 4 cubes in my living room warmer and two in each of the other two warmers of Scentsy. Where as with Better Homes and Scentsationals I only use two cubes in living room and one cube in the other two warmers. I do not include bathroom because I put one cube of something fresh in with door closed. I would even say Better Homes and Scentsationals smell better in most of the scents. Now vendor wax is just bad to me as it smells like plastic or lip gloss like etc! Vendor wax is like throwing away your money to me but each to their own. Example today I put Scentsy warm apple pie in the warmers all eight cubes and let me tell you dear lady Scentsationals warm apple pie is way better! Yes, I have a well trained nose from my education so do not even go there lol!
Over all esthetic Scentsy wins but Scentsy does not win in the wax performance. Happy melting dear!
And you spent way too much time on this comment!
Congratulations on your education.
Thanks for watching.
❤❤❤❤❤
