ArOmis Aromatherapy Premium Wood & Glass Essential Oil Nebulizer

The product was a week late!! As usual now with Amazon and there “new carrier”. But now that I have it, I am disappointed. I was so hoping that the reviews that I read in this case were correct! The scent coming from this is no better and maybe even less than the oil diffuser that I have. This was recommended to me by one of my aromatherapy teachers. Don’t expect that the “house will fill with the aroma” in the first hour as people stated. It is NOISY! My gosh you could never put this in the bedroom. It is a very expensive item and I think what you are supposed to be paying for is the “beauty” of the item, and yes it is attractive but NOT worth the money. Do yourself a favor and get a Everlasting diffuser for 40.00 on Amazon vs the over 200.00 that I paid for this. It is just as attractive and you get the benefit of moisture in the air.

I spent a great deal of time looking for a good quality diffuser, and have spent a great deal of time since purchasing this and using it with a variety of different oils (not brands, just different oils from the same brand).

Pros:
Durability
Ease to clean
Diffusion of scent
Size
Appearance
Noise

Cons:
Timer settings

First, cons: Despite the extensive list of pros, the inability to have more than one setting option is an inconvenience. Research does indicate that the on for x time, off for x time does allow one to best benefit from the oils. Still, I would have like variety myself. It doesn’t detour from the overall capabilities or power of this diffuser, though.

The pros are truly what make this device worth the pretty penny it costs. In the year that I have had this, I have never had it not work, malfunction, hiccup, etc. The only times I noticed an issue with oil diffusion was due to the glass bottle needing a cleaning. I did, in error a few times, use thicker resin oils when I first got this, because I was newer in oil diffusion. Oils like Amyris will always have trouble being diffused, and despite its power, this diffuser just can’t do those. This is called out though on the device, I just overlooked it. Despite this, once I thoroughly cleaned the bottle, it diffused the next blend with no issues, lingering scent of either the previous oils or alcohol at all. I did have to replace the bottle recently, but’s that’s because I dropped it, not a fault of the product. I have read reviews regarding the motor, but despite quite consistent use, there has been no hesitation with this, at all.

Cleaning is a breeze: I put both the top and the bottle in a cup, pour 99% isopropyl in the bottle, and enough in the cup to fully cover the bottle top, and let it sit for a few hours (or 24 for a full cleaning), then empty and let air dry. Important note: alcohol does linger in the little tubes at the bottom of the bottle, so be sure to let the bottle fully dry before using it. No scrubbing, swabbing, cleaning small corners, etc. Pour, soak, empty, air dry. Hardest part of that is waiting for it to dry.

The bedroom this diffuser sits in is roughly 8’ x 10’, so I have it sitting in a corner facing into the room. 99% of the time, I will run it on it’s lowest setting, to prolong the oil in the bottle. Despite this, it takes less than 30 seconds for the entire room to smell like whatever I want it to: peppermint, lavender, chamomile, davana, orange, blends, single, whatever I diffuse, I never have any issues with it not filling the room. During the day while I work, during the night while I sleep. Day or night, this little machine runs at least 5 times a week, and works like the first day it came home. No fans needed to help it (doesn’t stop me from doing this from time to time).

This is perfectly sized, not too clunky to get in the way, not too small to miss, it has a delightful appearance that looks like a fine décor item. This particular style intrigued me with its dark rounded base design and delicately entwined bottle interior. The various options allow you to pick a style that fits with many themes in a room.

Noise level depends on the intensity of the diffuser. Since I use the lowest setting, the noise is fairly low, and can be drowned out by a fan very easily. I would describe it like a low brown noise. Because I personally have it next to the bed, I notice it easily, but if placed further away, it would be harder to hear. It does vibrate while in use, but with the rubber backing on the base, the diffuser doesn’t move, even on a smooth wooden nightstand.

Keep in mind that the description does indicate that poor quality oils, carrier oils, and thick oils will not work well with this, so it is important that the brands you use are of good quality, and that you are only using essential oils that are not super thick. Proper cleaning and good oils will allow you to run this delightful diffuser for years to come.
