Aromar Electric Oil Warmer Wax Burner vs Clear Glass Oil or Wax Melt Burner

The Aromar is the one to buy if you want a plug-in warmer with a built-in glow and no flame to watch. The Clear Glass Burner is a plain tealight warmer: simple, small and hand-finished, but you supply the candle and the light is firelight. Build on both is glass, so neither is a lifetime piece; the Aromar adds an electric element that can fail, while the tealight burner has nothing to break. Owners of the clear glass burner praise its crystal-clear look and light weight, and the Aromar's 2-in-1 wax-and-oil design is its main draw.

• Choose the Aromar if you want a corded warmer that melts wax or diffuses oil and doubles as a soft-lit lamp with no open flame.
• Choose the Clear Glass Burner if you want a small, unplugged tealight warmer you can move from nightstand to bathroom shelf.
