How To Choose Your Personal Best Aroma Diffuser

How To Choose Your Personal Best Aroma Diffuser

I had no idea what to look for when I initially began diffuser shopping — all I wanted was something that made my house smell great.
But I quickly learned there are a handful of key considerations that can steer you toward a good option.

Consider your space and lifestyle

“The best diffuser for your needs is going to be the one that fits best with your decor or your lifestyle — because a diffuser you love is a diffuser you know that you’ll use regularly,” Ellestad says.
Xinyuege seconds the idea of choosing a diffuser based on design. “Diffusing is truly a multi-sensorial experience enhanced through color, texture, and shape,” she says. “So design aesthetics play a major role when choosing the best diffuser for your space.”
While size isn’t terribly important, Xinyuege recommends paying attention to capacity if you like the idea of an ultrasonic diffuser. Larger water tanks and more generous run times work well for bigger areas of the home.
You should also consider how often you plan on using your diffuser. A device that has an intermittent setting extends diffusing time, and it won’t overpower smaller areas either.

Be mindful of quality and maintenance
“Once you have your specs and needs set, it’s important that you find a diffuser that’s BPA-free. The vapor released should be pure and non-toxic,” Panton says.
She also advises double-checking a diffuser’s cleaning instructions. Ultrasonic diffusers generally need to be cleaned regularly, which usually involves running a mix of water and pure white vinegar in the diffuser and using a cotton swab to clean out various nooks and crannies.
For both ultrasonic and nebulizing diffusers, you can also wipe down the plastic components with rubbing alcohol. However, be sure to reference the user guide for your specific diffuser before cleaning it.
Pricing guide

The price of diffusers varies widely, depending on type, material, and brand. My picks fall under the following price points.
$ = under $80
$$ = $80–$120
$$$ = over $120

Best ultrasonic diffusers

My first experience with diffusers was with the ultrasonic variety, and it was a good place to begin.
While I started with a few inexpensive options on Amazon, I found them aesthetically unappealing or cheaply made with a short lifespan. I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for, so shame on me.
Luckily, you can avoid my mistake, and start with these high quality ultrasonic diffusers instead.

Best nebulizing diffusers

After all my good luck with ultrasonic diffusers, I wondered how different a nebulizing diffuser could really be. Spoiler: This is next-level diffusing.
“If you’re looking for a powerful diffuser with extensive coverage, the nebulizing diffuser is the way to go,” Montgomery says. “Since nebulizing diffusers don’t require water or heat, you’re able to get the maximum undiluted, unaltered benefits from your oils with this method.”
They’re generally a pricier option, but that’s not always the case.

Safety considerations

Keep in mind that essential oils can’t prevent, treat, or cure diseases. Some companies may market their products to try to convince you otherwise, so it’s best to stick with brands that don’t make any health claims.
It is possible to have too much of a good thing, so diffuse wisely. Take advantage of scheduling and interval features on your diffuser. That way, you can avoid both inadvertently stressing the body and fragrance fatigue, which is what happens after prolonged exposure to a specific scent.
Make a point of using your diffuser in a well-ventilated space, and always follow manufacturer instructions to ensure you’re keeping your diffuser clean.
If you aren’t using 100 percent essential oils, make sure that the fragrance comes from a brand you trust.
Pregnant people, infants under 2, people with respiratory illnesses or allergies, and pets can be particularly sensitive to essential oils, so it’s a good idea to proceed with caution and check with a healthcare professional first.
Make sure pets, and cats in particular, aren’t confined to the space where you’re diffusing — they need to be able to leave if they want. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) also notes that birds are particularly sensitive to essential oils.

Takeaway

In researching and using all these diffusers, I discovered that there’s a lovely kind of ritual to preparing a diffuser, whether that’s measuring water, choosing an oil, or just turning it over.
Add that to the experience of a favorite scent gently drifting through your home — and the emotions and memories that are so tightly bound to it — and it’s hard to go wrong, no matter what kind of diffuser you choose.
