How fine a mist do the bottles produce? I would like to use it to hold an air freshener mix of water and essential oils.

That's exactly what I do with these bottles. I spray rooms, and even use as a fine face mist for aromatherapy benefits. I have had them for a month and I have no complaints!

I use these bottles to spray hand sanitizer which I make that has essential oils. I believe it would work for you!

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!

Hi there! Yes, I use them for essential oil blends and have had no problem at all. Like for "germ fighter" mixed with water and I've used it like a hand sanitizer spray and carried it around. I do put it in a zip lock Baggie, JUST IN CASE, but I've had no issues. I would recommend them. Hope that helps!

John, I don't know the precise answer to your question. The mist is fine enough for a greenhouse, which is where I use it. I would recommend a filter and perhaps a water softener be placed before the misters since mine have had a tendency to clog up with micro particles in my water system which is a well. Hope this is helpful. Mike C.

I would say if there is a light mist you will be fine; if its a down pour then expect your stuff to get wet. There are no seals to suggest it's water proof.

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.

There isn't a place to put essential oils in this humidifier. I don't think it would be a good idea to add it directly into the water reservoir as it might collect on what ever mechanical device turns the water to a mist The owner manual does not mention the use of essential oils. The phone number for service is 866/737-6590 if this isn't the correct number to address your question perhaps they can direct you to the correct phone number. I've been using the humidifier for almost a year and it is easy to fill, easy to adjust the amount of mist and is very attractive.

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.

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

I do. I figure the water only gets "shaken" to make the mist, it is ok. I did notice, that if you only fill it to the 80 mark and not 100, it produces more mist. Im buying another I am so happy with the one I got. :)

It is as fine as some perfume bottles I own. I would say it is the same as my Juicy Couture when you press it with proper pressure. It is not the same as a quality old fashioned atomizer which sprays very fine mists.

The bottle holds 10 OZ of water. The mist will last approximately 10 minutes of continuous mist (exclude time to pump multiple times), but normally no one uses it like that. The Mist lasts up to 1.5 hours of intermittent use between refills.

I put cleaners and stuff in mine. Windex type bottles dont fit. I have those baby wipe cleaners/sanitizers and spray bathroom cleaners and pledge in mine. Still holding up from several months ago. Got the idea from pinterest.

Unfortunately I don't know. I have never used essential oils and don't know how difficult (if at all) they are to humidify. It's a great humidifier on it's own though. If oils like that are typically okay to put into humidifiers then I would guess it's okay.

I do use an air freshener in my humidifier, but it is water based. I would guess that an oil would have to be stay heated in order to give off a fragrance.

Since this system generates a fine vapor mist, one might argue that humidity is added into the surrounding air. However, it would be very limited, and would depend on the area of the room served by the diffuser. Also, humidifiers move very large volumes of liquid into the air so I would not purchase this item to be used for that purpose as it's effects would probably be small. You could always experiment by purchasing an inexpensive hygrometer to measure ambient water vapor content in your room both before and after using the device as a humidifier. The room would have to be very small for it to be possible though, if at all. Since this system generates a fine vapor mist, one might argue that humidity is added into the surrounding air.

It is a cool mist. The well only holds about 3 oz. maybe. However I do like the way it looks. It just doesn't last long.
