One customersaid, “This diffuser is amazing. Easy to control color/water output, small and compact, easy to clean, and outright beautiful. It’s great for my apartment; I can finally cover up the totally-not-pot smell that the previous tenant so graciously left me. It’s also great for setting up a romantic environment when the significant other comes over. As for people’s complaints of it not working, I really recommend contacting the company before you leave a bad review. They seem pretty responsive to me.”

Alexasaid, “This is a beautiful essential oil diffuser, perfect size for any spot. The stream is very effective. The diffuser works great and shuts off when empty. The changing light colors look absolutely beautiful and are very calming to watch. Would definitely buy again.”

One customersaid, “I bought this diffuser and the Vitruvi diffuser, which is more than double the price and looks very similar. I’ve used them both in different rooms for a few weeks. I can not tell any difference at all whatsoever. Don’t waste your money on the more expensive one. This one looks and works just as well, if not better! I bought the 250 ML version so I’m not filling it as often. (The more expensive one only holds 90ml) I highly recommend this diffuser and plan to buy two more for my home!”
If you’re looking for a large diffuser, theASAKUKI Essential Oil Diffuseris your best bet. It holds up to 500 milliliters of water and oil and can run for around 16 hours. That’s a full day of deliciously scented mist! It has several color and mist nebulizer modes, and it shuts off automatically once it runs out of water. This diffuser costs$25.99 to $28.99.
Josephinesaid, “Since I first started using on June 9, 2017, I’ve loved it. I also like the twelve-month warranty that comes with it. When I use enclosed measuring cup, I fill it up to just before the 500ml mark. This makes for more cold mist either high mist or low mist. I also have a window unit air conditioner set at 70 degrees Fahrenheit in my 12 × 14 size bedroom and I read in the manual that it depends on the temperature in the room and humidity by how much cold steam/mist comes out on either mist level. I also bought one for my son’s small bedroom since he likes the colors and the awesome smell in my room. I have at least seven different kinds of organic essential oils to choose from.”
Looking for a diffuser that’s out of this world? Then you need to try theCOOSA Moon Essential Oil Diffuser.

Apart from looking cool, this diffuser holds up to 250 milliliters of liquid and runs for up to six hours at a time. It costs$26.99 to $33.99, depending on the color.
One customersaid, “I absolutely LOVE this! It’s EXACTLY as pictured, though a little bigger than I was expecting (which is fine) It holds a lot of water and is the only light-changing diffuser I’ve ever had that I let cycle through all colors rather than leaving it on one because it’s just so lovely! It gives off a good amount of vapor too!! The ONLY thing I wish it had was the option of intermittent puffs like some do every 30 seconds or so. It’s totally fine though! It’s so gorgeous without even the light on I’m seriously thinking of getting another similar one. This would make a wonderful gift for sure.”
ThePure Enrichment PureGlow Crystalcombines the healing powers of essential oils and Himalayan sea salt into a compact salt lamp diffuser. It’s visually striking and can last up to 16 hours. There are five adjustable light levels and it comes with a five-year warranty, so you know you’ll get your money’s worth. This diffuser lamp costs$59.99.
Antoinettesaid, “The diffuser is seriously gorgeous and has quickly become one of my favorite things in my office. Diffusers and Himalayan salt rock lamps are two of my favorite things and when I saw them paired together so beautifully I had to buy them! There is one major thing that people should take into consideration when setting up (I’ve seen a lot of people saying that the diffuser doesn’t work and at first I thought mine didn’t either!). The diffuser comes with an incredibly generous amount of salt rocks. If you do not arrange them carefully, the metal that relays electricity to power the diffuser will not touch and it will not work. I ended up taking a few of the salt rocks out so that it sat flush with the power components and I have not had a problem with the diffuser since! I took mine to my office but I want to buy one for my home office and living room!
Most essential oil diffusers are quite plain-looking, but thisARVIDSSON Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuseris a clear exception.

The shell is made from 100% iron metal and the plastic tank is BPA-free. It costs$39.95.
Mirandasaid, “I was looking for a larger diffuser that lasted through the night, was easy to clean, and looked good in my room and this is definitely the one! I turn it on before I go to bed and it runs most of the night and can still smell the scent in the morning. It runs the full 6 hours without running out of water. Seems made well and I have had it for months without any issues. I love it and will likely buy another for my living room eventually!”
There are a lot of physical and emotional benefits to essential oils. Diffusing is a safe and convenient way to enjoy essential oils regularly. Just make sure to rinse out your diffuser daily to avoid any bacteria build-up!
