I am looking for a cool diffuser for essential oils but this says it is also a humidifier. Is there an option to choose warm or cool?

it is cool only. no option for warm. i do like this diffuser though... has timed function or just "on" - high capacity and an option for low or high.

No option on warm or cool. It is a very fine mist. Quiet operation. Option for length of diffusion and light plus on / off option for light. It's a cool diffuser.

I have had the diffuser since they were first placed on the market and have always used the warmer settings. I will often use cool as I finish the blow dry to set the curl.

I would not use it as a humidifier. While it does put a small amount of water into the air, the real purpose is to diffuse essential oils. We live in Utah (a high mountain desert) and in the winter use a humidifier as well as our diffuser. If your intent is to add moisture to the air, I would get a humidifier. However, some people will use the humidifier and place Vicks in the reservoir to help with breathing. If that's your intent, then this diffuser and essential oils will work much, much, much better.

There is no place to add oil, and the manual specifically states to only use water in the tank. Given that this is a cool mist humidifier and has no warming ability, it's probably not suitable for oils.

Hi, I assume you can use the Young Living Oils, although I'm NO expert! It's my understanding those are of the highest quality and similar to the ones I use (from Do Terra). I love this diffuser, but it is somewhat loud. If you don't mind the 'white noise' it's perfect, but if you want a silent one, I might search through the reviews for another model. It comes with 2 bottles and attachments so you an always pour the oils into those to attach (or mix). I have to say, I go through my bottles pretty quickly! It's hard to estimate, as the other commenter says, but I'd say even on the lower out-puts you'll go through a bottle in a few days!

No. This diffuser just lightly diffuses moisture into the air...perfect foressential oils...If you need more moisture, it is better to do so with a humidifier! Hope this helps you!

Sheryl, I ordered this for a friend so all I know is that she is using it in a large room. Hope this helps. She did have another diffuser from another company but was at a place where this one was being used and fell in love with it. I don't know how large a room it was.

Provides a cool mist. I don't know whether or not you can use essential oils...I haven't tried.

I have a couple of diffusers and using citrus oil, I use orange one a lot, so far so good. Didn't damage my favorite one, ZAQ Noor Lite. Good luck!

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.

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

No this is not a warm mist humidifier. It is a cool mist humidifier I use with essential oils.

I love this stuff , I highly recommend it. It's all natural essential oils. It really works for me inside a diffuser or humidifier. That way it's coming out in to the air along with the warm air. That's how I use mine others may do different. Hope this helps.

I've never used oils with humidifiers but I do know that you do not put essential oils into a standard humidifier because they will float on the water however you can saturate cheesecloth or some other type of material which is breathable. As the air diffuses into your room, it will flow through the material and fill the air with the fragrance of your choosing. I hope this helps!

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.

I use 10 mil essential oils bottle, the diffuser doesn't come with empty bottles. What I do is get the 1oz essential oils and create my own mixes, I used an empty 10mil bottle and works fine. I love the diffuser, I got it about a year ago, use it frequently and works fine! At this point I have several empty bottles and I created many different mixes, just love it!

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.
