Do you have to use water soluble oils?

Nope! I just put a glass of water in it, turn it on & it steams up and watch the lights change. It is a gorgeous and useful item. However, be careful with shipping. I ordered it 4 times bc the first 3, one piece or several pieces of glass broke during shipping.

Water based lubricants are the safest with most products. Thank you for shopping with us! ~Giggles World

Use the recommended Amount on the bottle and if u use synthetic oil u have to use the synthetic stabilizer.

No... Do not use any oils or medications with this machine. The manufacturer advises against this.

Yes you can. Although you need to use soapy water (and be careful not to put unit in water), I use Dawn and the cleanup is much easier. It works very fast to heat up also. Just take the cover off before you drain the oil out. One of my better investments.

Yes. We use doTerra oils which are great! You can order them on mydoterra.com/wilsonoils

I have an older version of this steamer...been using it for upwards of 12 years? Anyway, I use oils all the time with it. I have never put them in the water, but just drop them on the cone mask part. Just rinse It off afterwards. Never had a problem.

Yes, you can. If you want to add a few drops of carrier oil such as mineral oil, almond oil or another carrier oil.

There is no place to add oil, and the manual specifically states to only use water in the tank. Given that this is a cool mist humidifier and has no warming ability, it's probably not suitable for oils.

I have never tried any oils. They dissolve quickly in water and even if they didn't dissolve from the oil, they would most likely leak. I wouldn't trust them for any liquids.

Yes,...I use tap water and oils all the time...but it is best if you use filtered water...because it comes free of foreign matter.The most important issue is that you clean and air it out after every use...water left to itself tends to fester.

I would read the instructions but from we read, its not to be mixed with oils or anything other than cold water.

Not very easily with just water. Baby oil works for skin and alcohol for other surfaces.

Use only water based or silicone based lubricants. Do not use oil-based lubricants. For upkeep add cornstarch to prevent deterioration.

Although I haven't personally tried it, the general rule is oil-with-oil. So it's a bad idea since latex is water-based.

I do not have to, however I have very oily skin. My friend does need to use it tho. I'd us oil free tho.

Yes with water. I fill water level, then drop essential oil in and turn on. It infuses and disperses in a vapor form. I have used a variety of essential oils with no problem.
