Excellent one-of-a-kind product.
I've researched many and used a few diffuser and this is the best. Probably the only one at the top without some serious problem.
I followed the instructions (you HAVE to do that) and it works perfectly every time.
HOWEVER...you must thoroughly clean the unit after every use.
You cannot leave anything in the unit overnight...it will gum up the works.
Sadly, we'll have to wait for some new alien technology to totally revolutionize diffusers to avoid this. What this thing does is use an ultrasonic pad to turn the liquid into mist, which will leave a residue. I'm not going to try it but I'm sure performance would degrade rapidly if it were not cleaned until such time as it stops working (weeks? no more than a month).
Also...it's not easy to clean...they didn't design it to be easy to clean. I have larger ultrasonic humidifiers which are easy to clean. This one is so tiny it's hard to get to all the crevices.
On the box it says it is a humidifier/diffuser. Which is true. If you put nothing but distilled water in it, you could use it as a humidifier for a very small area and never clean it. So...following that logic, you could use any humidifier as a diffuser. Just put a few drops of essential oil and some water on the ultrasonic pad then put the water tank in place and turn it on.
Advice:
Don't put it next to something that emits heat ... it has a sensor and will shut itself off if it overheats.

I have this unit located in my bedroom which replaced a Pearlessence diffuser. The unit is much quieter than the other, but I think as far as scent is concerned the Pearlessence worked a bit better. It does have some new features that I like more like the 30 second timer, water reservoir, and a on /off switch located on front of the unit. I have solved the scent problem by adding just a few more drops of oil.

This is one of the most stylish humidifiers out there and I got it mainly for its aesthetics. It is great for light humidifying for a small room and the aroma sample that comes in the package is pleasant smelling. The light transitions smoothly from color to color and is really pretty. Maybe it's just me but it also makes a comforting butterfly-like pattern on the ceiling when the lights are off. I think it would be great in a child's room as it can serve as a night light in a way!

This machine does a good job of diffusing your chosen oil, but this is NOT a humidifier, as it is so advertised. I thought I was purchasing a humidifier plus an aromatherapy device- no. Also, make sure you realize its small size, and that it leaks. According to the directions, it is supposed to leak, so be warned.

I bought this because it looked just like the Young Living essential oil diffuser but 1/2 the cost. It works great. I liked it so much I bought one for my mom for her birthday and she loves it. Her sister just called wanting to know how she can get one, too. It's stylish, silent, compact, has the option of mood lighting, and delivers just the right amount of oils into the air (I used 5 drops of oil). I've had it for about 1 1/2 months and have used it regularly. I haven't cleaned it yet, although it's probably time. It doesn't look like it needs it so maybe that has something to do with the minerals in your water.

I love my diffuser!! I use this product to diffuse my theraputic grade essential oils and I love it. I can let this run all night in my room with out any problems. If your looking for a humidifier to do a large room than you'll need to get something bigger. I just wanted an affordable way to diffuse my oils and let it run all night while I sleep and this works wonderfully!!! I also love that I save on my essential oils making this product the more affordable choice for me :) I hope this information is helpful to those who read it.
8/9/2011-After using this product for over a year now I wanted to come back and tell you it's still running strong and working well. Today is the first time I've cleaned it sense I bought it because I had used a heaver oil in it and after a while the heavier oils will gum things up a bit if not cleaned out. The fact that I use Young Living essential oils might also be a factor so keep that in mind to just in case when it comes to cleaning your machine.

it works great as aromatherapy and humidifier to me and my wife. perfect for our master bedroom. we also carry it with us while traveling! i recommend it!

If you're looking for a twin to Young Living's newest ultrasonic home diffuser, it sure looks like you've found it. Pay over $98 from their (overpriced multi-level marketing) website, or scoot on over here to Amazon and pay less than half of that. My Young Living associate friend was told that this was their own exclusive design, but it doesn't look like that's so.

Regardless-- If you'd like to see details on how this diffuser/humidifier looks and works, view YL's Youtube video (Search for 2H3GYVElECA) to see it in action. Looks like you need to clean it each time you use it, which is why I'll be hunting down a Fan Fuser diffuser instead. I don't want to be forgetting to clean it and then have it stop working on me!

Diffusers are a great way to fill your home with the health and emotional benefits of essential oils. I diffuse different oils to help us fight colds and other diseases, ease the kids to sleep, energize ourselves, and just plain make the house smell good. I love my oils!

I bought this a few months back & use it regularly. It's quiet, very nice to look at when running (changes colors) and releases just the right amount of scent. You can set it to turn off in 30 minutes. It's very easy to take apart and clean. I would definitely recommend it!

After my search for a aroma therapy type diffuser, I chose the Westinghouse Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser. Besides the beauty of it, the price was right and shipping was very fast. Except for the fact I don't see the humidifiation capabilities of this diffuser, the product works as stated. Anyway I wouldn't buy something this small and expect any kind of real humidifying properties.

I purchased this aroma diffuser for using with essential oils. And this diffuser does just what I need it to do -- diffuse scents into the room. I like how it sends up a swirly mist, but its not wet so I don't have to worry about ruining any furniture. The diffuser itself is very pleasing to look at and the multi color lights that change continously are just an added bonus.

My biggest suggestion would be to follow the directions very carefully so as not to accidentally get any water into the outside housing of the unit. Other than that the Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser is very easy to use.
