Travalo Excel Review

Travalo Excel Review

What the Company claims: Have you ever wished you could have a quick freshen up when you’re out and about?

Carrying a big glass perfume or aftershave bottle is inconvenient, cumbersome and can be dangerous if it takes a knock and shatters.

Travalo is a refillable atomizer bottle with a difference. Its patented easy fill system allows you to refill in seconds with a simple repeat pump action. Travalo makes it easy and convenient to have a fresh confidence boost any time, anywhere.

Rapid Refill in Seconds

Travalo fills directly from almost any fragrance bottle with a removable spray head.

Take your Travalo straight out of the pack and it’s ready to use immediately

Simply remove the nozzle from your big fragrance bottle, pump Travalo up and down on the tube, and you can be ready to go in just a few seconds.

No funnels, No spills!

Travalo does not require a funnel, and there is no need to take it apart to refill it.

No more lost parts, no wasted fragrance, and no danger of spilling a single drop of your expensive perfume.

Over 65 Sprays, See what’s left inside

Travalo has an integrated fill level indicator window to show how much fragrance you have left, so you never run out unexpectedly.

Only 8.6cm and just 20g

Travalo is finger-sized at a convenient 8.6cm long and weighs only 20 grammes, yet when filled it gives over 65 sprays of fragrance, in a wonderfully fine mist spray that belies the diminutive size.

Protective Carry Case

Travalo comes with a ‘crystal case’ which is a protective carry case designed specifically to provide protection from scratches and dirt when carrying your Travalo in your pocket or bag.

Aircraft Approved

Travalo can be taken in hand as carry on luggage onboard planes anywhere in the world. Travalo has a unique pressure regulating system that makes sure the bottle adjusts to changing air pressure during flights, preventing any leaks, and enabling you to be fully prepared for landing!

98% Recyclable

98% of Travalo’s components are totally recyclable.

Aircraft grade aluminium.

Travalo is made from the same aluminium material as high tech aircraft, making it extremely light and strong.

No Dangerous Glass Parts

Travalo contains no glass parts at all, so unlike other atomizers or fragrance bottles, it can take a fall onto concrete, hard floors or tiles without any worries about risking breakage.

Wherever you go…
Travalo is so strong and reliable, you can carry it with confidence anywhere…

Directions 
Remove the spray head from your perfume bottle. Place your Travalo upright on top of the nozzle peg, and repeatedly pump it up and down to fill. You can tell how much is in your perfume atomizer bottle by the fill level indicator window. Do not overfill!

Travalo Guarantee
Travalo comes with a No-Quibble performance guarantee for the operational lifetime of the product, which is about 10 years, or 10,000 operations.

Box Contents
Travalo Excel Atomizer
Lifetime Warranty
Packed in a protective carry case

MRP: £12.49

As you must have read so much..there is very little for me to explain..Travalo is available in ten colors…from pinks,purples to yellow and gold.

This is the one in gold..it has pretty embossing done on it..and comes with a embossed black holder and a sturdy plastic cap. The Classic one had a capacity of 50 sprays and this Excel one has a capacity of 65 sprays.

Pros:

1. Super handy in travelling.
2. Very very safe.
3. Aircraft approved.
4. Easy to refill.
5. 65 sprays are good enough.
6. Pretty packaging and comes with a sturdy stand.
7. Economical for its multiple uses.
8. Available in 10 colors.
9. Guarantee of 10 years or 10,000 operations.

Cons:

1. Availability. You can buy it here

I don’t find any other cons with this..overall I loved the concept.

See this video on how to refill and use it…and how is it compared to a standard refill bottle..

Rating:

Quality: 5/5
Value for money: 4.5/5
Availability: 3/5

Overall Rating: 4.25/5

Would I buy it again: Yes if need be..

P.S: Product sent by brand for review but it has not affected my opinion.
