Can you add essential oils to this humidifier?

I wouldn't recommend it, because of the filter nozzle inside. But I haven't tried it, either.

I'm not sure if there is a difference between essential and aromatherapy oils, the instructions indicate that it is fine to use with aromatherapy oils. Just replace the filter after usage with aromatherapy oils. I have not used it with such so I have no personal experience with it.

It isn't a manufacturer-specific product, so while I can't say for sure, I do not see why it would be a problem. Most humidifiers are built fairly similarly.

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

No. Pure essential oils (such as these) float on water's surface in concentrated droplets so should not be used with your diffuser. There are many reasonably-priced diffusers available for purchase that are specifically made for essential oils.

I did. However, it destroyed my humidifier. So my recommendation would be to follow the manufacturer's instructions on adding stuff to the water in your humidifier if you can at all.

I disagree with the previous answers. Yes, there is a separate little bottle that you put any good quality essential oil in and like reed diffusers, the oil is wicked up and mixed with the water vapor. However: it has not done a darn thing to the plastic... I'm not sure if that reviewer added the essential oils directly to the water. I know that it does ruin the machine if you do that. And I don't understand how the other reviewer has gone through so much essential oil. I filled the vial up when I bought the machine several months ago...I check it when I refill the water but I have yet to add more and there is still a nice, strong, but not overpowering lavender smell when I turn the machine on. I do recommend that you only turn it on low or medium. The high setting puts out too much water vapor. It doesn't evaporate quickly enough and makes the surrounding surfaces damp. Overall, it's a good quality machine and does not require you to purchase refills of anything.

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 :(.

any of the above... I have a atomizer humidifier. You can even mix this will oil and use as a spritzer.

No, you can only add oils to it. there is a small oil "container" that goes underneath the whole unit. I suggest getting essential oils from Eden's Garden (right here on Amazon) eucalyptus or peppermint, they will do the same as Vicks would.

I don't see why not I have used lavender essential oil and am currently using oil of thieves in mine, just be sure to fill with water to the line and then how ever many drops of oil you wish without being overpowering

Yes, just add oils to the water. Have had this for several months and really like it.

Depends on you humidifier. most will say not to add anything to them unless there is a special area to add the oil to. it ruins them.

No answer for this but I love this and use it every day. The Fragance is perfect! It is oily and using it in a humidifer might not be good.

I wouldn't want to tell you to do that since most humidifier manufacturers suggest you don't put oils of ANY kind in them. You may want to read the booklet/instruction manual that came with your particular humidifier to find out if it is safe or not per that manufacturer. Also, since these are not ESSENTIAL oils just FRAGRANCE oils there is no therapeutic benefit to reap from putting them in your humidifier, but I'm sure they would release pleasant scent just the same. I hope I've been of some help.

Not a problem. Happy to help :) I do absolutely love this humidifier tho. Must buy.

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

I bought this item with the purpose of using it as both a humidifier and an essential oil diffuser. I think that this unit works amazingly as an oil diffuser. (It also lets out a good bit of mist as a humidifier, just not quite as much as a humio unit would). Overall, I am very happy with the purchase!
