MiiR tip
After the 30-day window closes, MiiR will still take a return for a genuine manufacturer defect - so keep your bottle even past a month if something's actually wrong with it.
Pura tip
Keep an active Pura subscription running — it extends your diffuser's warranty for as long as the subscription lasts, while a one-time purchase's coverage caps at exactly one year from the purchase date.
