Does this provide a warm or cool mist? And can you use essential oils in this humidifier?

It's a cool mist. I use lavender water - it provides a great scent. No oils though; it would become dirty very quickly.

It provides a cool mist. I believe you can't use any oils with the humidifier. It asks for cold water only.

This compact humidifier you can adjust from cool to warm. The cool is not cold. This is strictly a humidifier for use with water....... no oils :(.

It's not a humidifier. This unit is for diffusing essential oils into the air.

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.

Cool mist humidifiers are good for just increasing humidity without increasing the temperature. Warm humidifiers are good decongestants -- the warm moist air helps with this -- but they also really heat up the surrounding area and can be more dangerous because of this (I wouldn't run a warm one when nobody is home).

No hot mist. This is just for vaporizing essential oils and making the room smell lovely. I really like mine. However, if you are looking for something to steam you face or create warm mist this is NOT for you.

yes, easy maintenance too! Best one on the market. I did a lot of research on humidifiers because I'm a new mom. This saves you money because it does not blow out a warm mist. The warm mist humidifiers cost more money because the water has to heat up and it has mold issues. I've been through it all.

I haven't used the warm setting b/c research shows that the heat causes mold to grow faster and that a cool mist is better overall. It is a great unit. Keeps our daughters room at 55+ humidity with air heat in our house. It requires regular cleaning which we use distiller vinegar and it works great.

Yes. It is a cool mist humidifier using a water reservoir and a fan to force moisture laden air into the room. Note, however, that my unit failed at the start of the second season. Fortunately, it was less than a year since I purchased it, and by simply mailing in the electrical cord, they replaced the entire unit. Customer service was outstanding. I just hope the fan motor is its Achilles' heel.

Yes, all humidifiers blow hot air. Unfortunately, that is how they work. We have had to decide if we wanted less humidity or less heat. We vary the use depending on the season. I hope this is helpful.

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.

Warm mist. But this product is not a good product, I wish I would have never bought it.

I am imagining vaporizing oils in general would be bad imagine that oil being stuck on your windows and all over the house. The humidifiers that do use fragrance I bet don't use oil based

It is a cool mist. There are five units in our family. We use citrus essential oils in the units and find it very soothing and promoting of good sleep.

I do not use the humidifier only the heater. works well in smaller room, Runs all day in large area. It would take forever to heat a large space with this unit. I do like it for smaller areas.

I would not use it as a humidifier. It emits a visible mist of the oil/water mixture surrounding the device that carries throughout my home (nice oil smell wise) but not necessarily the way a humidifier distributes just moist air. An actual humidifier would be better if that's what your looking for.
