It is beautiful..
I have 5 different diffusers. All ranging in price and material. I had high hopes for this one, but I'm totally bummed! It is beautiful...that is why I bought it. It's is plastic that looks like wood...another positive since I have small kids. I LOVE every single NOW product I've ever bought....until now. This diffuser is not user friendly. You have to remove decorative top and then remove this reservoir. Then you have to un-screw this cap and u fill this thing with water. Be sure you remember to take top off of your essential oil bottle first or you are balancing this awkward thing and trying to do that at same time. Next, you are trying to "shake" your essential oil from bottle and get into this small hole in reservoir. By this point....I'm totally irritated, but still have positive outlook. So I get the contraption back on, decorative top in place, and start diffusing. I smell my essential oils for about 10 minutes and then...no smell!!! Just water vapor. I thought, well maybe I didn't put enough oil in it. So the next day...repeat process. Same thing. I've had this diffuser for about 2 weeks now and I have noticed the oil is COATED in reservoir. Whhhaaatttt??? While I'm no expert, I really believe that since you put the water in this weird, closed reservoir instead of an "open" one that has the little metal disc that makes the water "jump", it keeps the oils from being "stirred". All 4 of my other diffusers are made by different companies. Some expensive and made of different materials, however they have one thing in common....the metal disc in an "open" reservoir that keeps oils "stirred". So there ya go! Beautiful diffuser. Not user friendly! Hope this helps and I hope you understood my rambling ;)
