NOW Essential Oils, Ultrasonic Real Bamboo Aromatherapy Oil Diffuser, Extremely Quiet, Heat Free and Easy to Clean, Color Changing LED Diffuser

I have had this innocuous little diffuser since December 2016. It is quite simply awesome. As advertised, it can run 8 hours continuous mist or up to 14 on intermittent. It is easy to use IF YOU READ THE DIRECTIONS,,,!!, like: 1) Don’t overfill above the Max Fill line because it (like most other diffusers) can’t mist when overfilled, 2) Learn the simple use of the buttons to get the mist setting you want - press on for continuous mist, press same button again for intermittent; another button allows you to set it to run for one of several specific time options like 1 hour, 2hour etc; light control is like many -press light button and light comes on, cycles through nice array of colors and by pressing the light button again you can set it to one you like; press 3rd time to shut lights off. It is whisper quiet. It works nicely - gives good coverage - in our rather small bedroom. I chose this one because it is what several shops I frequent (and trust) had running day in/day out as their store model and it was impressive. Very simple and unobtrusive looking in bamboo which is fine … it has a small footprint so it’s easy to tuck out of prominent site. I did buy a similar one that is much larger to use in larger room; interestingly, that one blasts more mist and does work well enough but need refill much more often. . I have gifted 3 of these to friends/fam and they are going strong. Other reviewers having issues make me have to question whether they are actually using this correctly. I am super careful when cleaning it to change scent oils: I have found that the simple single use alcohol wipes I buy (from Costco) to clean my glasses are perfect because they are lint free and the alcohol removes scent oil residue and dissipates quickly. Highly recommend this one: it’s longevity speaks its own truth

I absolutely love this diffuser! It's quiet, can run for hours and then turns itself off, gives off a great amount of scent if you put enough drops of oil in the basin, looks great, and is just an overall great diffuser. I'm extremely happy with my choice here and i highly recommend it. Thank you so much to the person who gave the detailed instructions on how to use this diffuser. That's how i'd learned to use it, excellent help, a tremendous thank you! It is very very easy to use once you know how to use it. I've had it for about a month now and i've used it everyday since it arrived. The one thing that i would recommend is that you always put warm water in the basin, and then every couple of uses you take a Q-Tip and swab the flat white disk at the bottom of the basic, This keeps the disk cleaned from residue and lets the diffuser operate better. Basically keeps it 'unclogged' and gives off the max amount of 'smoke' for scent.

Very disappointed with this product. It's beautifully made and looks lovely in the living room, however it's not worth the money. Set it up the first day and everything worked fine, however I noticed that it was very warm by the time I turned it off. Cleaned it and filled it up the next day and it wasn't working. Opened the lid and all the vapor came out, but for some reason it wouldn't come out of the hole at the top. I thought it was user error and dumped some of the water. A couple hours later I checked it and noticed that it was very warm and again there was no vapor. I opened the top (as it was running) and noticed that the little round plastic disk had partially melted off and that the water was extremely hot. This of course caused the oils to break down and no longer have any scent to them. I again cleaned it out and filled it up. After slit running for about an hour (without the little round plastic piece inside) there was a puddle on the stand it was on. Because that little piece was no longer attached, the water was jumping out of the little hole meant for the vapor. As beautiful as this little defuser it, I had better luck with less expensive plastic ones. I think that the wood unfortunately acts as an insulator and causes the water to heat up which then destroys the essential oils.

I bought this diffuser a little over a month ago, and since that time I have used it nearly every day. I love scented things. So, over the years I've used candles, incense, reed diffusers, tart burners, scented oils and essential oils in diffusers with the tea candles underneath. Although there is something to be said for "no tech" oil burners that use candles, there is also something to be said for flameless scent distribution. Especially for those with pets, kids, people - and this is all of us! - who might possibly forget a tiny tea light candle is burning before they go out for errands. Is it likely your house will burn down from candle use? Probably not. But household fires aren't exactly uncommon either. And personally, as a pet-owner with a blind dog and with a naughty curious kitty, I like not having to use candles. After all, there are only so many times you can watch the cat jump on the side table, ignite her fluffy bum fur as she passes a large glass candle (that was full, though the wick was properly trimmed, the candle tamed and topped with one of those metal candle toppers) then instantly go streaking through the house because she terrified herself by being on fire and not knowing how to get away from it. I have to tell you, this is a horrible moment when - within a second or two of time - you think a million things like "GASP! Poor kitty!!" and "What do I do?!" and then "Oh my god, she is going to catch the curtains, rug, bedding, closet, etc. on fire, too!!!!" Luckily for us, and kitty, she must have run so fast she somehow quickly doused, rather than fanned, the flame, but this was a dramatic event and it is one reason why I love the safety of no-flame scent distribution! And hopefully you don't have to experience anything similar to feel the same way! :-) So, I love this diffuser. I use it was NOW and Aura Cacia oils, primarily. Here are the reasons -besides not being able to catch my cat on fire- that I love this diffuser! 1. It's pretty. There are a lot of decent-looking diffusers out there, but very few that aren't plastic. Though interior components are (BPA-free) plastic, they are encased in this lovely bamboo container. There is a NOW Solutions logo, but it's engraved in the wood, so it looks nicer than most logos do. The buttons are visible enough to read, but small enough to not be gaudy or obtrusive. 2. It has a small footprint. You can see the size if you refer to my attached photos which show me holding the unit. Its base it probably similar in size to a baseball to Naval Orange sized circle. 3. It's quiet as a mouse. It has a little sound to it, so it isn't 100% silent, but I usually have a small air filter and computer running that have fans that completely obliterate anything this little guy may do with it's whisper quiet motor and tiny poofs of scented "vapor". 4. It's completely cool vapor. In a small bedroom that seems to get the brunt of the heat of the sun, and to heat up quicker than the rest of the house - having a candle on or if this were to burst small puffs of hot air - would just be one more thing to make the room stuffy. If you have kids or pets it would also be nice to know this won't be bursting out a poof of piping hot steam, too. Steam burns are some of the worst kind so nice to be able to avoid that possibility entirely. Aside from comfort and safety this keeps the scent of the oil more pure, which is always a good thing! 5. If you put this on intermittent it will run for hours upon hours. I haven't timed it exactly, but I've put it on during the day and had it running the next morning. The scent is softer by then, but it's nice that it can go so long without needing to be refilled. 6. It's (mostly) easy. See my first con below, though. Take off the top, put a little warmish water up to the line, drop 5 drops of oil, plug it in, turn it on, maybe select intermittent setting and bam! Scented diffusion for hours! When it's done carefully pour and/or blot with a little cloth and go again. Cons or Things to think about: The plug input is on the bottom, in a little inverted area. It's either a hassle to unplug and plug back in - full of water - or you need to find a way to conveniently clean and bring water to the unit. I personally have just unplugged, drained, cleaned and refilled, but it is annoying to carefully hold the unit upright - full of water and oil - while you find the plug inlet by touch and/or hold it high enough and/or crouch to peek up at... you get it. A little annoying and something to consider. And for the manufacturer I would suggest a side plug in the future, for ease of use. The light - I can take or leave it - honestly. I like colorful things but I don't use this feature often. Probably because for some reason I have a hard time pressing the buttons to move the light from default red to rotating through the colors. I can't seem to nail down how fast to press the button twice to go from on to on-and-rotating. I can get it to happen. It just doesn't seem consistent and so I often press the button on off on off on off a million times before it switches to rotating. And for me rotating is so... disco. Honestly I would love to pick the solid color, because my single biggest complaint - though maybe I am doing it wrong like with the rotating light scheme - is that the default solid light color is red. Red is not really soothing to me. I like red but I can't say I want a glowing red light to relax to. Red makes me think "Star Wars Deathstar" more than "relaxing spa day!", if you know what I mean. So if solid had to be one color it should be something more soothing like blue, perhaps... or purple or green. Anything but red. If you know how to swap the default solid color on this thing I would love for you to leave me a comment. UPDATE 01/10/16: A kind commenter mentioned how they got their light to work for a new solid color other than red. Not sure why I failed to get this to work before myself, but such is life and I'm grateful the commenter helped me get my light going properly. Now I can swap between purple, green and blue! Hooray! :-) Final thoughts: Great diffuser. Like it a lot. Use it A TON! And would give 5 stars if the plug weren't annoying and the lights worked better. Probably should give it 5 stars considering how much I like it despite those two flaws but 4 stars feels more honest. Hope this helps! One final note: I use pure essential oils or pure blends, primarily. I once used a NOW Rose Absolute, which is rose oil blended with... I think it's Jojoba oil? Anyway, after a rather short while the essential oil scent was gone and it smelled like Jojoba oil, which isn't bad necessarily but it's not at all what I want my home to smell like. From then on I vowed to only diffuse full strength oils. Hope this helps! UPDATE 02/12/2016: ***********Important Note about Potential Dangers of Overfilling!*********** The other night I refilled this when I awoke feeling a bit dry and dusty - we've been running it on "Continuous" as we moved to a drier climate - and inadvertently I overfilled the unit. I didn't know this until the next morning when I saw the unit was on, but not spewing vapor. I touched it and it was quite hot! I took off the lid and it was still full - overfull - of water. Apparently overfilling causes the unit to be unable to expel the vapor bursts. Somehow the unit didn't break, but I still won't know if I caused it undue stress which may have reduced its lifespan. Also, I am super-glad I didn't start an electrical fire or something. So, please be very, very careful and DO NOT overfill your diffuser as it could possibly break your diffuser, or be dangerous! Hope this helps and best of luck, everyone! UPDATE: 05/23/2016: I wanted to update to mention that despite the above evening where I accidentally slightly overfilled and the unit was trying to be on all night, but unable to release vapor - getting super hot - I have had no issues with the unit. It still works as well as ever and I do recommend it. But again, be careful not to overfill, as that could be potentially dangerous. Hope this helps! UPDATE: 05/04/2017: So, the ol' girl finally went to diffuser heaven. I used her daily and will always wonder if that night where she "ran" all night with too much water was the start of her demise, but she lasted about a year and a half exactly. While I strongly considered buying another identical unit, I admit I was lured to try something totally different when I saw the pretty glass diffusers on the market. I bought Radha Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser 200 ml - Wood And Glass Ultrasonic Cool Mist Aroma Humidifier with changing Colored LED Lights , which has a lot of pros and cons. I will review it when I have had it a little while longer, to be thorough, but I already know that while I like the new one I think I will get another one of these NOW Bamboo units when the new one "dies". I just prefer it for all the reasons listed above. Hope this helps and enjoy your aromatherapy - however you choose to do it! :-)

I ordered this bamboo diffuser and I also ordered the faux wood grain diffuser from NOW foods because it had a larger reservoir and I liked the shape better. But the faux wood was just too cheap looking, so I returned that one and kept this. I am not really even a bamboo fan, but because it isn't plastic, I don't mind leaving it out in the open. It is simple to fill and wipe out but I am most impressed with the functions. It has continuous or intermittent settings. I use continuous at night and intermittent during the day. It automatically turns off when it is out of water. It has a 1 hr or 2 hr timer, which I admit, I don't really use because I just run it until it is out. I also like the light function. I have used diffusers where you have to have a light on, and I don't like that when we are trying to sleep. My youngest son likes to have a night light though, so when I run it in his room, we can run the light. One click and it goes through all the colors, another click and it stays on whatever color it currently is displaying, or third click and the light is out. Super handy. Also, the light only shows around the ring at the top, so it isn't very intrusive, just subtle. Overall I have been extremely happy with my purchase. I got more than I expected. It has a small reservoir, but I fill it up before bed and set it to continuous and it is still running the next morning.

Love this thing, came fast and with a great looking box and set of instructions. I'm an oil fanatic and my last diffuser broke during a move, this thing kicks my other diffusers butts! Add a few drops of essential oils in and start meditating or relaxing. I love the fact that I can do my whole yoga routine in the morning and have this running, however if you change oils up a lot, gotta clean it, I use just a damp cotton ball and swap it all out. I like the fact you can change it from 1 hr to 2 hr, and either have it come out conintuesly or intermittent, that's a cool feature, oh and another cool thing is it's 100% real bamboo, I'm a wood fanatic too, if this me dies, I'll get another one. Cool color changing ring, good output and not noisy actually soothing to fall asleep to. NOW solutions makes great products. Go get one NOW! You will not regret.

I've only had this a few hours so I'll edit if I have any problems in the future but having played with it for a bit, I'm happy with this oil diffuser. Its my first, so I can't compare it to anything besides my PureGuardian humidifier but it reminds me of that on a much smaller scale. The bamboo wrapped around the outside of the tank is real and relatively thick so I see no chipping or splaying and nothing is peeling off; I like the natural look of this diffuser compared to some of the plainer plastic ones- just a style choice. The diffuser is VERY light so I worry about its durability but as long as its not knocked to the floor, I think it will hold up well. Despite its lightness, it seems pretty well-constructed. Inside is plastic and pretty simple design. The tank only holds 5 ounces of LUKEWARM water (the temp is very important for it to function- I let it sit for 30 minutes before turning on) and a few drops of your choice of essential oils. I did 5 drops lavender and 4 drops peppermint for our first run and my whole basement smelled lovely in a matter of minutes. If the water is the right temp, it starts up right away; no "warmup" period. We ran it an hour on 'Continuous', then switched to 'Intermittent' once the scent was thick in the room. Its been on for 4 hours now and still going strong. I placed mine somewhat in the middle of the room for better airflow; the cord is long enough for some placement flexibility. The sound is barely audible and I'm sitting about 8 feet away. It is the gentlest trickling sound when you are close to it and I find that very relaxing, like a little fountain. The colorful lights are not that important to me but it was fun to play with. I personally think the 'club light' looks strange on a diffuser most likely used for relaxation but whatever. If you time hitting the button right, you can get some nice colors like soft yellow or spring green or light blue but the pink, purple and red are a bit much. I probably won't use the lights much and I like that they don't come on automatically. It would get annoying to have to shut them off each time I turn the diffuser on. I find the buttons the tiniest bit annoying because I have to hold the whole unit to press them but its not that big a deal. Still debating whether this was worth $36 (I'm thinking more like $25) but I'm happy with it so far, its doing what its supposed to and doing it well. And because of its size, weight and neutral design, I can use this in every room of my house; even use it while traveling if I wanted.

This is a nice little diffuser especially for the price. It is easy to fill and looks like it will be easy to clean, unlike the other Now Foods diffuser I had previously. You need very little water (max fill is 150mL) and if you use the intermittent setting, it will go for a long time. I bought one to put in our living room and ended up purchasing another a couple of days later so I could put on in my bedroom for diffusing a sleep essential oil blend. Then I bought a third for my son's room to replace his old diffuser that was impossible to clean. He runs his on constant and it lasts the night (about 8 hours) and then has auto shut-off. Running on intermittent you can fill much less often. The only thing I'm not crazy about is how the AC adaptor plugs into the bottom of the unit and then has to clip underneath a little plastic channel....it's just a hassle if you have to unplug it to take it over to the faucet to fill. So I use a small measuring cup to fill it in place, and that's fine. I think the light feature is neat, but the first night I used it, I woke up and found that sometime in the night, I had turned it off -- so it must be too bright! (at least, to have right by your bed, which is where mine is). I hope this one lasts as long as the other Now diffuser it replaced. I will also be interested to see if the bamboo stands up well to the constant exposure to moisture from the diffuser. Update: I still love this diffuser, so much so that I have purchased two more -- one for my daughter's bedroom, and one for my office. Still the best I've found at this price point. I recently looked again at my local store where they stock about 10 different diffusers, with a display so you can really see your options, and this one still beats all others in terms of price and features. I have a friend who sells YL oils and she keeps trying to get me to purchase one of their diffusers but at literally DOUBLE the price I just don't see how it can be THAT much better than this one! Highly recommend.

Además de que visualmente es muy estético, funciona de manera eficiente. Llena la habitación de un ambiente muy agradable con el aroma y el sonido del agua.

Love it it’s a must have very happy with purchase.

É a segunda vez que compro esse difusor. Entre todos que testei ele é o melhor. A opção de deixar intermitente faz com que sua casa fique agradável por dias! Recomendo.

Nice stream of vape

Doesn't work well in medium to large areas.
