Egloo – Heat, Fragrance and Humidify your Home
The weather has most definitely taken a turn for the colder and I’ve got a couple of things I have been holding onto since summer for review.
Mainly as they are most definitely more suited to the colder seasons.
The Egloo is one of them.
Egloo? You What?!
The Egloo was a Kickstarter project, which hit its target 4 times over.
Raising a huge 60,000 euros and is completely handmade in Italy.
It has been designed to not only heat a small room but release fragrance and is likely to be quite unlike anything you have come across before.
The Egloo is a simple to use device. Which can, at the start, look quite complex.
It is made up of 5 different sections; 2 terracotta domes, a terracotta base, steel plate and a grill.
The plate slips easily into the terracotta base. Into this, you want to add three wooden wicks (these are held in place by a magnet). The wax granules are poured in around the wicks, while the reservoir around the outside, holds water and fragrance.

When it comes to heating the room, it can take around 15 minutes for the Egloo to reach a temperature where this part kicks in.
Just in case anyone is worried about how to light your Egloo, a normal candle lighter will do the tick. You don’t need anything fancy.
It works by trapping warm air inside and gradually releasing it into the room, this is thanks to the two different size and thickness domes, which work together in harmony.
It can take 15 minutes for the Egloo to reach this point and it is worth mentioning that it can get up to 600 degrees, but it has been made to do this safely. However, of course, please never leave one unattended.
Also please be careful with ventilation, you don’t want to cover any of the given areas and make sure you follow the full instructions, to use this safely.
It is also worth mentioning that the water reservoir is an important part of how the Egloo runs. It works as a cooling system to keep the wax at a consistent temperature. As well as fragrancing and humidifying the room.
I Do Love The Egloo!
It is worth noting that due to the design of the Egloo, the light let off is minimal but it can make for a really nice ambience.
Each wick and natural wax packet last for around 4 hours. It is worth pointing out you should only use the Egloo with the packets they make for safety reasons.
Personally, I think this is a really unique design, I love the fact it heats and fragrances.
It is the perfect addition to any home for the cooler periods. As well as being a fun item to use at outdoor parties to add a bit of warmth and atmosphere to the surroundings.
If you want to buy an Egloo for yourself they start at €74 for this natural design. With prices going up to €189 for some absolutely stunning painted ones. Refill packs start at €9.99 for 10 pieces.
You can, of course, find out more about and buy an Egloo over on their website right now!
What do you think of the sound of an Egloo, is it something you would like to try in your home?
I received the products mentioned in this post free of charge, however, all opinions and thoughts are my own.

This is a very nice item for home. It will help to make our home more cozy and fresh.
It is such a lovely item isn’t it! I have to admit I love the look of it.
This looks fab. Definitely I am going to buy this one for this Diwali. Thanks for sharing about Egloo.
Aww yay I really hope it becomes a great part of your home!
What a clever idea! I can’t believe something so small can heat and fragrance a room!
It is awesome isn’t it! I love that it is just such great item for the home.
This looks amazing and I would think it would be cheetah friendly as well…since the flame is hidden,there wouldn’t be a curious cat or cheetah to potentially knock it down.
Very cool indeed,Sarah!
Oh gosh yeah – cats can really get into things can’t they! Silly things.
I really like the sound and look of this! How big is it out of interest? It looks quite small but can heat a room? Ingenius!
Ohh I’ll have to go and measure it – it’s actually bigger than I thought it would be.
It is: 18 x 18 x 12 cm
The Egloo sounds absolutely amazing! I’d love to try it out myself. I wonder if it would cut my gas bill down?

I have to admit it will be interesting to see – they bungalow is tiny so perfect place to try it out in winter.
This is really interesting and looks totally unqiue. I’d love to see it in real life! Great post 🙂 x
It is really nice – so different for anything I’ve come across before.
Wow, this is another new product to try. I love the dual purpose too plus of course the user friendly feature is a big check too.
It is really interesting isn’t it – amazing the things some people manage to come up with.
Ohhh I’ve never seen anything like this before. I love that it has multi use and I like the no fuss design too.
It is such a fun design isn’t it, so well thought out and such a different item.
This sounds like it would make a lovely Christmas or housewarming gift
Most definitely, I think with the painted versions as well you could really team them to the person.
What a brilliant idea. I love that it could be used in a power cut to help warm the house – our boiler went last year and I remember really struggling with the cold
It is awful when you have no heat isn’t it. Our old flat our upstairs neighbour was awful for leaving her bath running and flooding us. We would have to switch everything off and freeze till an electrician could come out and help us.
The egloo is amazing 🙂 I didn’t even know that such a thing existed. Great for any times something goes wrong with your heating x
It is awesome isn’t it – I love that people are coming up with such great ideas these days!
I love diffusers and essential oils. This is an interesting heater/ humidifier I have never seen before. I am curious and need to do a little research on this product.
I am the same I love having different scents going around the home.
This is new to me as well but I love that it just doesn’t release fragrance, it also heats. This is really going to be perfect in the colder season coming.
It is a great idea they have really thought about different ways it can be utilised.
It’s a very innovative product!
Looks fun to try especially for cooler times but I do find it to be a bit too expensive.
It is a really interesting product for sure, I think it’s worth the price if you think if you have a small area it’s going to help warm it as well it could bring down your bills.
oh im a sucker for anything like this, candles, atomisers etc!!
I am the same this one is really great to play with!
I love the idea of using it outside. Can you get a mosquito-repellent fragrance?
It’s just essential oils you put in so you can put in anything you like.
This looks so good. I don’t usually use anything with flames because of soot.. does it produce little? This looks like a great Christmas gift for my Sister in Laws though. They love candles so this would be a great alternative.
There is a little produced I think but not a huge amount 🙂
Cool! I love that you can use it as humidifier too. All 3 benefits in one. I will give this as a gift for my sister, they will be in Winter season in a few months.
It is amazing isn’t it – I love how it perfect for so many different things.
This does seem a little pricey but I am sure it is worth it being there are so many uses for it. Have you ever left it running throughout the night?
It only burns for around 4 hours so it wouldn’t run all night long.
Both visually appealing and practical. I love it,
It is lovely looking isn’t it – some of the painted ones are beautiful as well.
That’s a quite cool device! I would love to have one of these in my room, perfect for winter!
They are lovely aren’t they something really different to have around the home.
Wow this is really unique. I am curious about the safety of it. I guess it would be fine unless kicked over.
I would say it’s as safe as a normal candle. my Dad’s really funny about candles and anything alight and he found this really interesting and let me have it lit in his home. Definitely don’t want to knock it over though lol.
Oh my! I love the creativity of this egloo! I need this egloo!
It is amazing isn’t it I love how well thought out it is.
I love this little thing. it is very effective at setting a mood for a room too.
It really brings a nice atmosphere to the room for sure!
