Essential Oil Diffusers

Organic Aromas Raindrop 2.0 Nebulizing

If you want a device that does the best possible job of dispers- ing scent to multiple rooms at once and you don’t mind spending more money, the Organic Aromas Raindrop 2.0 Nebulizing Essential Oil Diffuser is a nebulizer that mists pure oil, unlike our other picks, which are ultrasonic. (Here’s a detailed explanation of the difference.) The lights on this diffuser are dim compared with those on our top pick and runner-up, and there’s no cool mist to stare at. It’s less expensive than others of its kind, prettier, and far quieter (nebulizers typically make very loud grinding or buzzing sounds). The Raindrop runs for two hours, dispersing oil intermittently, and an automatic shutoff helps avoid overdoing the smell.

Urpower 300ml Aroma

This 500 mL model is nearly identical to the Asakuki. We recommend whichever you prefer on price or aesthetics, and both have a strong, rich, stream of mist that’s on par with that of our pick. At around double the tank size of our pick, 500 mL diffusers requires fewer refills—and in fact, these diffusers are the only style we tested with a unique low-output mode that can run for up to 16 hours.

Asakuki 500ml

If our top pick is sold out or you’d like a slightly bigger tank, we recommend the Asakuki 500ml Essential Oil Diffuser. With as strong a stream of mist as our pick, this diffuser has a larger tank you won’t have to refill as often. However, it takes up more space, and the faux-wood look isn’t for everyone.

Vitruvi Stone

If you’d prefer a diffuser that looks a little nicer and don’t need to diffuse scent in a large space, we like the Vitruvi Stone Diffuser. With a porcelain shell in a few neutral colors, it’s the only stylish diffuser we tried that both features a strong stream of mist and is easy to use. It’s one of the only diffusers we tested with a truly subtle indicator light (positioned on the back of the unit), making it the best choice if you’d like it to run while you’re sleeping in a dark room. The tank is on the small side, so you’ll have to refill more often, and while it’s easy to wipe out, two layers of lid make cleaning and refilling slightly more annoying than with our top picks.

Urpower 300ml Aroma

We spent more than four weeks testing 17 diffusers, and our favorite is the Urpower 300ml Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser. It puts out a strong stream of mist, has a larger capacity and smaller footprint than much of the competition, and, while affordable, has a clean design that looks better than others at its price.
