There are literally hundreds of aromatherapy diffusers to choose from. Prices range from $10 to over $100. Before you buy, consider the following factors when choosing the best essential oil diffuser.
Reservoir capacity: Diffuser water capacities can range from 100 milliliters (3.4 fluid ounces) to over 1 liter (33.8 ounces) of water, but the average water tank capacity is about 300 ml. If you don’t need to refill the water frequently or need to run the diffuser for a long time in a large space, you may need a larger water tank capacity.
Execution time and timer: Do you want to be able to set your aromatherapy oil diffuser for 1 hour, 3 hours, or 5 hours? Do you want the option to run the aroma or scented mist continuously? How long does it need to run? All of these , is an important question to consider when purchasing a diffuser.
Automatic shutoff: Even if you’re not normally forgetful, choosing a diffuser with an auto-shutoff feature is a smart choice. If you forget to turn off the diffuser when the water is low, the diffuser may overheat and malfunction.
Compatible area: For small rooms such as bedrooms, bathrooms, children’s rooms, and small yoga studios, you don’t need to worry too much about the area covered by the diffuser. If you want to use it in an open space or large room, look for a diffuser with a large area.
Lit: Many diffusers provide ambient LED light or double as night lights. This is a personal preference, so if you don’t want a light, make sure the aromatherapy diffuser you buy doesn’t come with a light or has a light that can be easily turned off.
Mist settings: Do you need a continuous cool mist that works for hours to diffuse essential oil drops, or do you need an intermittent mist?
Strength: If you want a stronger scent, look for a spray diffuser. A spray diffuser is a device that vaporizes oil droplets without using heat and then sends the odor into the air as a fine mist. These are often more expensive than standard diffusers, but are worth it if you don’t think the standard models are as effective.
Humidity: Many essential oil diffusers also function as cool mist humidifiers. If you live in a dry climate, this makes him a great two-in-one option.
