Does the Essential Oil holder sit atop? I'm a bit confused about the 5 inch hand blown glass, as to where it goes, as the photo looks non aroma?

The tiny glass up that you see pictured sitting on top of the lamp is where the oil and water goes. It slowly heats up from the bulb inside the lamp and eventually gives off a soft fragrance until the water and oil has evaporated.

The glass top has a narrow bottom that goes into the hollow core of the lamp and the rest of the glass sits on top. The glass you see on top is where You put some water in it and 10 to 15 drops of oil. This is the Best one I've tried. I tried the one with the metal in it before and it does not diffuse aromas well at all and smells stale. This one is awesome.

The tank lid is not exactly flat. But you can place a small item or a tray. I keep a little glass bowl filled with soaps/shower & bath fizz products which look pretty and smells nice too!

The whole unit is plastic...the oils are ok because they are being diffused and will not sit in the diffuser indefinitely. While it is true that you should not put the CITRUS oils (such as lemon) in plastic, the other oils are fine. What happens since Lemon is a detoxifier, for instance, it pulls the petroleum products that are in styrofoam or plastic OUT of the container (i.e. detoxifying it). This is why we say to use GLASS for water with lemon EO :) Hope this helps!

That isn't a good photo view. The top is actually glass surrounded by a silicone-like seal to avoid glass on glass rubbing to the range, and to ensure your beverage stays hot until you're ready to drink it. I hope this is helpful to you.

The little area for the oils is near the top of the bottom part then the outside cover goes down over it. I want to say that this one says use distilled water and putting oil in water can clog it up over time. I purchased another brand that regular water and oil can go in same place. It was a little more expensive but worth the ability to use tap water and oil. Sparks e-oils and Now have diffusers. Look up there's then check out amazon and other sites like it for a better price.

For me, it smells like oil, for a lack of better description. I wouldn't say it is fishy. The smell doesn't bother me. It slowly disappears. I prefer it to fragrance.

One other reviewer said they put it in the top (the circle outlet that diffuses the mist)...I tried using that little slit and I didn't think it was very aromatic. I've been putting the oils into the top part and haven't had any problems. I've had my diffuser for at least 3 or 4 months now. I think the oil I use causes the container to get stained but it's not a very big deal (to me). I use the OnGuard oil from doterra. As a comparison, I bought another diffuser from a different company and that one says to put the oil directly in the water.

I'm sorry but I can't find a "Made in" mark on it. However, I will say that we really like it. By far the best oil holder I used. It is amazingly solid with little drip. Just don't fill it up and put the top on to fast, the air compression makes the contents quiet out.

There is a small lip around the edges so the glass never touches the surface of the table. I always store mine glass side down to protect it.

This is a tough question to answer. I'm not sure if the reason but a mason jar did not work as well for me. Perhaps my biggest annoyance though with the mason jar was that it was a challenge getting the herbs out even with a wide mouth jar. I think it's really the beauty if the design here. It's taller than a talk mason jar and the size is just right for most tall fresh herbs. Plus it's really easy to get a few sprigs out.

I couldn't figure out what that thing was for and have never used it. Does it sit in the holder as well? I imagine the piece could be replaced by the manufacturer.

There is a tray on the bottom that slides out. Put a few drops of your favorite oil in there.

I've only used it every other day for a couple months, but so far no problems with a variety of oils- some mixes, including "sweet orange" essential oil. It's basically just a little plastic well with a metal plate at the bottom, so I can't imagine there would be any problems.

Hi Patricia. I measured my bulb (the glass part not the base) as 5 3/4 inches. So you should be fine. Btw hold the bulb with tissue or wear gloves when you put it in... this stops oil from your hand creating hot pots on the bulb... shouldn't be an issue but just a precaution. regards

It is not a good idea to put essential oils into something plastic like this. It will slowly degrade the plastic. You would want a diffuser, not a humidifier.

No, it is not flat. I haven't noticed any gathering of oils, but generally the pan is rather full when I cook in it.

I love mine and I don't have this issue. It diffuses a smell the entire time. Maybe check the oil grades you use. I use 100% plant grade oils which are strong.
