I have been using this new and improved Crane diffuser. Let's address the first great thing about, no more carrying it over the sink to refill with water!! You can easily lift the top off and refill wherever you have it. Second big thing for us, no more nob to turn it on or off (the kids would mess with that) it is all now with the ease of a button. And lastly, it has aromatic pads, yes!! I am so happy with all the new and improved features and how its even more user friendly.
