I'm not a person that thinks essential oils have magical healing properties, so if you're that sort of consumer I don't have anything to report. Now, my needs were simple: I wanted my room to smell like lavender. Mission accomplished, with a beautiful package:
The device is absolutely beautiful. It's very light, all plastic but very sturdy, and the outer shell is a translucent, semi-matte white color that diffuses the light very gently. It's fairly bright (in addition to picking from seven colors, each color can be set to "high" or "low" brightness. The photograph attached to this review shows the light blue color in full brightness, with a color-changing LED lamp in the background for comparison. The diffused colored lighting (or straight white if you prefer) is genuinely pretty to look at and serves as a night light if you need to navigate a dark room. The colored light is downright inviting, almost comforting, and when the room is well-lit, it still looks sharp with a wood veneer base and a wood veneer triangle that almost looks like it's floating in the air.
The whole mechanism is controlled by three well marked buttons (light/color, mist strength, off/on/timed). They can be a little fiddly at first, but the manual is very thorough and you'll soon understand the system of short pushes/long pushes that give you ideal mist output and lighting color, most changes positively identified by a series of beeps.
At first I thought the machine was silent, and for all practical purposes it is. Putting an ear right up to the device will allow you to hear the very slight hum of the cooling fan, but also the very nice sound of bubbling water droplets.
Starting the machine is easy- lift off the plastic overshell by holding either side and sliding up, fill the internal tank with 700 ml of water (there is a clearly marked "fill capacity" line visible from the inside and outside of the tank), and drop five to ten drops of essential oil into the water (more or less depending on the strength of the scent you're experimenting with). Slide the outer shell back on, choose to run it until empty or for a certain number of hours, choose high or low strength mist, then choose between a single color or changing light-show. Immediately the mist will appear, with practically no sound and literally no heat or waiting.
This is the rare product that does everything as advertised, and looks pretty doing it.... For less than $30.
Note: Looking through scents, you'll see wildly conflicting information. One person's 5-star scent will be, to another reviewer, "the most awful chemical smell ever". I realize that we get what we pay for, so I chose the Sky Organics 1oz. lavender oil for a little over $11.00. Some oils will give you a third of that for the same price, some will give you 4oz. for less than $10. There is bound to be a difference of quality, but I can verify that the sky organics oil will run this machine for hundreds of sessions, and it smells wonderful. No word of if it will cure lupus but, like I said, I just want a pleasant smell.
In short, if you can't decide between the hundreds of mist diffusers, know that you can't go wrong with this machine for build quality or looks. Try out whatever oils you'd like, but don't overly commit to any one before you've given it a try. Cheers!
