Does it work well as a humidifier, too? I need a humidifier that allows the use of essential oils.

Yes it will work as a humidifier. I put essential oils in it. It does just fine! I would say this is a good product. I would recommend it.

I love this diffuser! If the room is about 12 x 12 or less I would say yes otherwise probably not as it hold 750 ml of water. I use many different oils in it & it works great, with sending the scent the ought the main floor. Worth the price!

Not really sure, it does not put off any heat with the vapor but it is a cool mist. It takes several hours for the water to run out so you would probably need to compare the amount of water used per hour with a regular humidifier vs this. I do really like this one though, it's honestly my favorite diffuser because it holds a lot of water and has a high and low so you can adjust it. Also, just a little essential oil in this can be smelled in my entire house (my others only work well in a small room) so it puts off a great deal of "mist".

I sent it to my cousin who has breathing problems and she said it works great as a humidifier and is very quiet. She's very pleased with it.

It's not as strong as a humidifier but works in a similar fashion. I have both.

You would need to pick up your own essential oils online or at a health foods store, usually eucalyptus or others etc. Honestly though I find using one of the kids PediaLyte plug in infusers that comes with little pads that plug into a socket work much better than the one on here. This is an awesome humidifier but the diffuser isn't the best design. Best of luck. :)

It works well as an essential oil diffuser. I used mine in the winter and wanted a small amount of humidity added to the air. It did that well too. Though I haven't tried it yet, I think it could be used as a facial steamer too. I love mine. It is exactly what I was looking for.

As I recall, it was cool. I do not recommend the humidifier unless you want everything in the vicinity soaking wet (carpet, any furniture, books.), and that is on the low setting. Mine is sitting in a box to be used only in a closed bathroom and who needs it when there is a shower there already.

The humidifier doesn't take wicks...if you mean for the aroma bottle IDK because I don't use it.

It's much smaller and lighter so everything in your room wont dampen like a humidifier. It distributes the smell into the air immediately so no wait time. There is a moisture component to it which is how the oil droplets are sent through the air but I wouldn't consider it a full on humidifier. It is the Apple of diffusers for essential oils. It's a great buy I think - I use mine about 2 times a day for full cycles. It improves the quality of daily life - I also use it with peppermint in it in the am to get my kids up and going.

I do use an air freshener in my humidifier, but it is water based. I would guess that an oil would have to be stay heated in order to give off a fragrance.

No an if you are using it for essential oils it doesnt diffuse well but good as a humidifier

I use essential oils in my unit and it works fine. It is a small unit, so just a drop or two of oil is all you need. I use the unit next to my desk - to humidify the local area and be sure to clean as per the instructions after each use.

I use it in a room about that size and it does a pretty good job. Using good quality essential oils does help. Sometimes I don't this it does smell up the room enough, however when I leave and come back in I do smell the oils.

These oils have many uses and can be used many ways but cannot be used in a humidifier. A diffuser, topically, and taken In a veggie cap internally is how they are recommended to be used & I have used this particular oil in all of those ways! LOVE it! It is great for emotional distress or to uplift and brighten your mood or spirit :)

Thanks. How do u like it so far. It seems rather expensive if u have to replace a wick every couple of weeks. Would you recommend this humidifie? And thank you for the information.

There isn't a place to put essential oils in this humidifier. I don't think it would be a good idea to add it directly into the water reservoir as it might collect on what ever mechanical device turns the water to a mist The owner manual does not mention the use of essential oils. The phone number for service is 866/737-6590 if this isn't the correct number to address your question perhaps they can direct you to the correct phone number. I've been using the humidifier for almost a year and it is easy to fill, easy to adjust the amount of mist and is very attractive.

I'm sorry. I only use it to disperse in the air, as a fragrance. So I don't know. I only have ever used essential oils for room fragrance purposes.

I've been using mine with pure essential oils for an entire year, no problems. It works as well as my pricey diffuser though it doesn't have as many features and doesn't do as large an area.

I don't know if it will produce enough moisture for that unless your room is pretty small but it is an excellent diffuser for essential oils.
