Anyone got a Goodsphere?

I was bought one for Xmas and it does work well. It came with an Essence Starter Kit and there is a warning of DIRE consequences if you use any other essence! So, my question is, does anyone know what is in this 'special' stuff? On the box it says they are made from natuaral botanical extracts (which just sounds like essencial oils to me) but as they foam up when moving round the bowl, I'm assuming there may be a soap or detergent in it as well. Please, can anyone tell me?:beer:

    Hi, strangely I am looking into the same thing. I have 2 not the same make as yours but the same principal. I have found a ciuple of sites which sell the essence but 1 site wanted £6.95 for delivery and i thought this was bit much so mailed them to say so but they responded that it was good value as you could have any amount for this. I have found various others but they are all about £7 plus delivery for 250 ml. As far as I can work out whatever you use has to be water soluble so guess you couldnt use straight essential oil without using a solubiser with it (however you spell it !) . I have bought one from woolies which is made locally to me (birmingham) and am waiting for a moment to call them to ask their opinion. the leaflet says 'any water soluble essence which is easily bought' but from where I dont know. Will post if I find out further details
  • I've got a goodsphere and have used M&S scented oils in it for the past few weeks.

    Nothing awful has happened yet :confused:
    de do-do-do, de dar-dar-dar ;)
  • I am amazed at how well the Goodsphere works the whole of my bungalow smells fresh, no more odours when my cats use the litter try in the utility room, before I had the Goodsphere even though I cleaned the litter try out on a daily basis I was paranoid my house would smell of cats now I have no worries at all and friends have remarked on the beautiful fragrance wafting through the house, I have spent fortunes in the past on scented candles oil burners incense sticks and plug in smelly's but nothing I have tried has come close to the Goodsphere so I cant prays it any more than that. I would also like to thank Karen and Mike at The Healing Store for the excellent service I have received from them, they contacted me as soon as my order was ready by phone and by email, they are so helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble, its what I call real service. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and I will certainly be using them for all of my future purchases.

    I was bought one for Xmas too. I think they are nice and smelly, but am very skeptical of the claims that they clean the air (or something like that) ~ just work like a continuous air freshener as there is no where for air to be drawn in and then pushed out again.
    I was given the extra set of oils, but when they have finished I shall go on to using essenial oils. Its only a glass bowl with water in that is being agitated after all.
  • :confused: don't really know if it's safe to use essential oils and if something does go wrong will they replace it for you?
    I have two in our flat a large one in the living room and a bubble in the bedroom. I have had to contact Goodphere twice about the bubble and what a lovely team they have working there. Very polite and helpful. All I had to do wa post back the top bit and they have replaed thewhold thing and extra oils too. I'd recommend them to everyone.
    They do clean the air as the colour changes if someone comes here and smokes (we don't) and it certainly helped me last summer with my hayfever.

    DONT use essential oils ... mine broke. Both leads shorted, or whatever they do that makes them stop working.
    I think the oils clog up the whizzy thing. I rang Goodsphere and they put a replacement lead in the post straight away (I didn't mention the oils :o ).

  • I read on another board that someone uses Zaflora in theres with no trouble..
