An air treatment system is provided which includes an appliance and a replaceable cartridge installable therein. The replaceable cartridge contains a liquid compound to be aerosolized and has a cartridge outlet through which the aerosolized compound is discharged during operation. A pump is provided to supply air to the replaceable cartridge to generate the aerosolized compound from the liquid compound contained in the replaceable cartridge, and a controller is provided for controlling the pump to supply the air to the replaceable cartridge to generate and discharge the aerosolized compound from the appliance. The appliance may further include a lift mechanism to assist in receiving the cartridge and moving the cartridge from a loading position to an operational position. The appliance may also communicate with a smartphone or other external device to provide additional functionality.

An air treatment appliance is provided which includes an appliance housing and a removable cartridge received therein. The removable cartridge contains a liquid compound to be aerosolized and has a cartridge outlet through which the aerosolized compound is discharged during operation. A pump is provided to supply air to the removable cartridge to generate the aerosolized compound from the liquid compound contained in the removable cartridge, and a controller is provided for controlling the pump to supply the air to the removable cartridge to generate and discharge the aerosolized compound from the appliance. In some instances, the appliance housing includes a base, a cover, and an inner sub-housing coupled to the base to collectively define a passageway with an air outlet positioned to discharge a flow of air across a path of the aerosolized compound discharged from the cartridge outlet during operation.

An air treatment appliance is provided which includes an appliance housing and a removable cartridge received therein. The removable cartridge includes a receptacle containing a liquid compound to be aerosolized within an interior thereof and a cap assembly coupled to the receptacle. The cap assembly includes a cap, a venturi insert, and a base attached together without welds or separate fasteners to define an air inlet chamber on one side of the venturi insert, a venturi outlet passage on the other side of the venturi insert in fluid communication with the interior of the receptacle, and an aerosol outlet chamber partitioned from the interior of the receptacle by the base and in fluid communication with an outlet of the cap through which aerosolized compound generated by the venturi insert is discharged during operation.
