it seems that this unit might go through oil faster than other diffusers. That would be ok if it fills up a large room with noticeable scent. Can it?

I love this diffuser. It takes a good month or so to go through a bottle of oil... maybe even longer, depending on if you have it on constantly. It does make a bit of noise. I have used a lot of diffuser over the years and this is the best one I've found.

Yes it does seem to go through oil rather fast so I dilute the oil to about 1 part oil to 3 parts water. I fills a small room ok. I live in a RV it does ok with the main living area. I like the fact that you can set how often it diffuses and for how long. Hope this helps you.

I imagine it will go through oil fast if you turn it all the way up and set the interval to be on more than it's off. I use it on a low dispersion setting at an interval of 5 minutes on and 10 minutes off. It last for quite a while on a setting like that. I'm in a 12X12 feet office space with a fan going. I would not recommend this in a bedroom because it is a little noisy. But because I have a fan going (white noise) I barley notice the sound in the office and the interval timer makes it so you don't get use to the sent (as you would when it is always on) and you can definitely tell when it does turn on. That's probably my favorite feature and this particular feature extends the life of the oil.

I don't have experience with other diffusers, but I really like this one. It puts out a lot of scent on the lower output settings. You can control how much and for how long and I haven't had a problem with it going through the bottle too quickly.

I've never used one of these as a diffuser, only just for the original use which is to keep brown sugar fresh! What an idea though, how creative! Terra Cotta is porous so I'd imagine it would soak up the oil, but you would never be able to wash all that oil and aroma out of it to use it in food after that.

I doubt it; there are no adjustments to the diffuser so there is not much to do except keep it as clean as possible. You might try and see if the company would honor a warranty claim but they don't seem to stand behind their product very well.

Marcel: I love this diffuser and have used it daily for a year. Only down side is that it uses distilled water only. I use it with doTerra Certified Pure Theraputic Grade essential oil. Other EO may contain synthetics or be less pure. DoTerra oils do kill pathogens in the air. I can give you more info on doTerra if you wish. I use it in a bedroom. Would say it is fine for a small to medium room.

I have not used it in a diffuser however I don't see why you wouldn't be able too.

Yes but the scent will be milder as they are not as concentrated. Good for a very small space. In a larger room you may find you want the oils

If I recall correctly, there were instructions in the box that advised the water to oil ratio. I mentally marked the natural internal markings of the diffuser. Then it just takes one drop of oil floating on the surface. Be sure the open side of the diffuser is facing the area you want the scent to permeate.

This unit doesn't add any moisture to the room. It only diffuses oil - no water. It does, therefore, go through the oils more quickly. However, this unit has a great timer, where you can run it for relatively little time - still getting great scent in the room. I live in Florida - trust me - I get your worry. It's a great machine for us!

You put the oils in the water as others have said. I think it disperses the oils just as well as any other diffuser I have seen. It is not a strong smell but noticeable. I have a very large great room though so I needed one that would work with a large room. I just rinse it with water between uses.

Its best used in a diffuser. I have a humidifier but it doesn't recommend using oils in it. The quooz lull diffuser works great with the oils. Good luck

I use it in a small. Ex room. Though I have used it a large wide open space, you rally sCan't smell to unless you're around it. I.e. In a wide open spaces don't smell it when I return to the room, unlike the bedroom space. Definitely not a whole house diffuser, but is very compact and easy to move to from room to room.

I bought this diffuser a year ago and it seems to serve one small room. I use it in either my kitchen, living room or bedroom. Of course, the type and amount of essential oils used will determine the strength of fragrance, but this unit puts out a hearty burst of mist. I've been very pleased with this unit so far, but again, it will not serve a huge room or multiple rooms at the same time.

GreenAir site says this diffuses up to 1,000 sq. ft. Has anyone used it in a large room?

It uses a lot oil very quickly. That is one of the reasons I chose to give it a negative review. I have found if I mix 1 part oil to 3 parts fractionated coconut oil it helps. This is not my favorite diffuser. Turning it to the low setting helps, but not much.

Most definitely! Add more water for a more subtle home fragrance, or less water to make it stronger! A little oil goes a long way! Make sure your oil lamp/heater/diffuser has enough water in it so it doesn't dry out.

For purposes of inhalation ...yes...if you want the best one it is the Aroma Ace diffuser .This model is good for the price

I used it with a diffuser and you are correct. Too much power to actually diffuse.
