Anbar Backflow Incense Burner with 120 Cones, 30 Sticks, Tongs, and Table Mat, Natural Aromatherapy with Ceramic Smoke Waterfall, Supports Meditation and Relaxation, Home Decor (Brown)

I bought the green incense waterfall burner which looks aesthetically pleasing.I bought this as a gift and thought I best try it before giving it, because the Amazon reviews were a mixed bag.When I opened the bag of scented cones there wasn't much scent. I chose the lavender coloured cone but it didn't smell like lavender before or after it was lit. It smelt 'smokey'. Many reviewers described the linger after-smell as the smell of bonfire charred wood, which is an accurate description, AND that unpleasant smell lingers after the cone has finished burning. A burnt cone does leave a tar substance after the cone had burnt and smells like nicotine tar, but it is easily removed with a tissue.In the interest of safety, don't assume that the cone is no longer burning because the ash looks like its down to the surface of the burner. I filled a small dish and with the tweezers supplied put, the cone into the water. I noticed that the cone was glowing red hot and sizzled when it went into the water.The waterfall effect was pleasing and relaxing to watch. It took a couple of minutes burn time before the smoke started to cascade down the burner.Some time ago I bought a bag of mixed cones, so I thought I'd try one of them. They didn't have a hole in the bottom of the cone, which is the secret of the cascading smoke, so it didn't cascade.I then tried another of my own cones, but used a small drill-bit to make a hole in the base of the cone. The deeper the hole the sooner the smoke begins to cascade.No way could I present this as a gift without replacing the cones with good quality 'waterfall incense cones', which can also be bought on Amazon.

I was worried by some of the negative reviews, but I'm glad I gave this a chance. It is beautiful, arrived safely and in one piece. The cones are large, and the smoke drifts beautifully down the platforms forming a waterfall effect....exactly as I hoped. Even a slight draft will affect this though, so find a nice quiet corner for it, and you'll get the effect you were after!I'm not sure what people's expectations are, but yes, the scent can smell like burning....BECAUSE IT'S SMOKE!!! If you don't like the burning smell, I suggest you might try a reed diffuser instead to scent your room!! I am very happy with this product.

I want to give this a positive review as it does exactly as described with a lovely waterfall effect of the smoke, but unfortunately the only fragrance you get is of smoke. The smoke caused both myself and 3 year old grandson to cough almost straight away and I had to put it out of the room. I tried it again later when my grandson was not around but I still could only smell smoke not any fragrance from the cones. I also tried one of the incense sticks and it was no better. I like the ceramic so may keep it as a decoration piece I’m not sure yet, but I don’t think I would use it again. Such a shame as it works really well just needs better cones.

It look lovely and the products give off lovely aroma only it burns very quickly so you don’t get the full waterfall effect. A bit overrated

Great product , fascinating to watch, the box was damaged badly as this was a present I had to rebox it but the product was good

I’ve recently got into burning incense, but this product may have convinced me to stop. I’ll give it this, the glass burner is beautiful, but the dimensions of the ramp for the smoke to slide down are not right, so the smoke doesn’t fall straight, and just kinda floats off of it and into the room instead of into the bit at the bottom. Its quality is quite nice, but it’s hard to clean once the incense has burned (which lasts about 5 minutes before it finishes btw).The smell of it is HORRIBLE. There is absolutely no scent off of it, and it just stinks of smoke. My room now smells like I smoke 20 packs a day. I don’t touch cigarettes, but you wouldn’t believe me if you smelt my room thanks to the incense. The sticks are just as bad. They smell terrible too.The mat is fine, and the designs are beautiful, but overall I would not recommend this product to anyone, and may bin it myself. Waste of money.

Highly recommend, perfect as a gift or home use. Looks sleek as a decoration and is great value. Can't complain!

Works beautifully.Each cone burns very quicklyPleasant aromasWell pleased with item
