Great Size, Great Price
This is a very nice standard essential oil diffuser. I own four diffusers currently, one USB portable one for my car, one USB one at my desk, and one other big one for use in my bedroom. Additionally, I have purchased and returned two others previously, a small bottle shaped one that stopped working after one use and another car one that did not fit with my car's configuration. I mention this because I want you to know what I find makes a good diffuser, and why this is a very nice one.<br /><br />A good diffuser has longevity. My bedroom diffuser has been run nightly for almost a year without a hitch; meanwhile, the attractive bottle-shaped one I purchase for use in my workout room at my office lasted exactly one day. I have used Aiho's diffuser in a couple different rooms in my house over the last few months without any difficulty.<br /><br />A good diffuser has decent aroma dispersal. My little desk diffuser is only powerful enough release enough mist to surround me the and the length of my desk but none of the surrounding offices, which is fine for this particular application. My bedroom diffuser could be a bit more powerful to intensify the strength of the aroma by my bedside on the opposite end of my bedroom (and we have an average sized bedroom). This diffuser is strong enough for a bedroom, but not as strong for use in an open-air living room like mine with two huge entryways. It would be perfect for enclosed rooms or smaller spaces like an average sized kitchen or dining room, but probably too strong for small bathrooms and not strong enough for a big basement. With a quality oil and a full tank, 15 drops or so will provide a potent enough scent to awaken your mind and memories.<br /><br />A good diffuser has a large reservoir for overnight use. 500ml is one of the biggest sizes you can buy for a diffuser, and it will most certainly last you all night long. This is one of the most important features for me because I don't want it beeping that it's empty in the middle of the night, and I like to wake up to the scents in the morning because it starts my day off the right way.<br /><br />A good diffuser is quiet. The Aiho diffuser is never louder than a soft whisper, but if it's very quiet in the room, say at night time, you will probably hear a sound like running water, which is the bubbling in the reservoir. I happen to like that sound because to me it's very feng shui, but if you think that would bother you, you may want an alternative style of diffuser like the kind with the wicks which do not make that sound.<br /><br />Other features: the Aiho diffuser is very similar to almost all of the other diffusers I've owned. It has a lighting feature to emit a soft colorful glow. I only use that in my child's room as a nightlight or if I'm setting the mood. Otherwise it has basic on/off buttons and high/low buttons. I can't imagine any other features you really might need, but this has all the basic necessities.<br /><br />All in all, this is a very good diffuser for the price. I am happy with it and hope it continues to last as long as my other one in my bedroom.
