Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am in love with this diffuser! I used to spend tons of money buying different scented candles, those days are over. Now I just purchase essential oils on Amazon and distilled water at the grocery and I am good to go, and it's so much cheaper. I had doubts about ordering this product since it seemed a lot of users stated it stopped working within days or weeks of using. So I decided to wait three weeks to make sure everything was good before writing my review. The product is great and didn't break down on me or have a weaker mist after continued use. I think a lot of the problems people had were due to not maintaining proper care of their diffuser. Here are the things I did to ensure my diffuser stayed working properly: 1. USE DISTILLED WATER - I know it states you can use regular tap water, but let's face it, there are minerals in tap water that cause buildup after time. Especially here in Florida items will get hard water buildup (tea kettles, floor steamers, etc..) if you don't use purified or distilled water. So spend the $0.70 to get a gallon of it at your local retailer. It's cheaper then having to spend more money to replace a diffuser that stops working because you used tap water. 2. USE QUALITY ESSENTIAL OILS - Don't cheap out and get anything other than 100% pure, therapeutic grade, essential oil. Since I'm just starting out and didn't have any, I purchased a set here on Amazon that included the "top" six essential oils in a nice little set. It had an info card that told you a little about each scent and what it was good to use for, which was helpful to me since I'm a newbie. The link is here in case you want to order it as well. Aromatherapy Top 6 Essential Oils 100% Pure & Therapeutic grade - Basic Sampler Gift Set & Premium Kit - 6/10 Ml (Lavender, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Lemongrass, Orange, Peppermint) 3. KEEP THE UNIT CLEAN - After you're done use make sure to take the top off, drain the excess water (drain side!), wipe excess water with a facecloth, and let air dry. The instructions also state to clean the unit weekly with soap and warm water. Again, I don't use tap water because of the mineral build up so I don't do this step. Instead, I take a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and wipe the inside of the unit and the top. This removes any remaining essential oil residue left behind that doesn't come off when drying the unit with a washcloth. For extra added maintenance you can even run the unit with a 50/50 solution of distilled water and white vinegar. White vinegar will help break down any traces of hard water buildup. 4. RESTING TIME - I have two diffusers. Both of them came with instructions and I can't remember if it was this unit or another that stated to let the machine rest for an hour after use. So I do that for all of my diffusers. It doesn't matter if I turn it off early, or if it auto shutoffs when it runs out of water. No matter how badly the urge is to refill it and keep going, I don't. The unit needs time to rest and cool down. 5. DON'T OVER FILL - People stated that their unit had a "weaker mist" after a couple of uses. I didn't experience this but the instructions state if you over fill with water it will cause a weaker mist because there isn't enough space between the water and the top of the lid. The unit will also have a weaker mist near the end when the water is almost gone, and this is normal. Again, it's all about reading the instructions which I think a lot of people neglected to do thoroughly. Other then that I really like this unit. It is perfect for small rooms (bedrooms, offices) as it only holds 100ml. I keep mine on my nightstand and use lavendar to help me sleep, eucalyptus when I have sinus issues, and peppermint when I have a headache. My husband keeps his in the office near his computer to diffuse citrus scents to help give him energy and focus. If you are looking for a unit to diffuse in big rooms (kitchen, dining room, den, etc..) then this unit won't cut it, it's too small. It might work if you live in a small apartment, but for single family homes that have larger square footage, you need a bigger unit that holds about 300ml. The unit I have for my open room area is wonderful and you can purchase it on Amazon here URPOWER Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser,Urpower Wood Grain Ultrasonic Cool Mist Whisper-Quiet Humidifier with Color LED Lights Changing & 4 Timer Settings, Waterless Auto Shut-Off, 300ml If the unit has any issues I will post an update and change my rating.
