12 Best Essential Oil Diffusers in 2018

The top dog in this battle is not only super budget-friendly, but also provides the most simplistic operation. Urpower 2nd Generation has no filtration system, so you’re not repeatedly changing it out and spending money on those cartridges. You get a total of a 100ml water capacity, which only works with 100% essential oils (no filler 90/10 products). Above all else this operates so quietly, that your baby could have this in their room while they nap, and it won’t bother them. In fact, the white noise is a big soothing. Add in the color-changing LED display for a bit of aesthetics, and you have a surefire way to imbue the air with essential oils, reap those health benefits, and add daily aromatherapy into your life.

InnoGear Cool Mist is extremely similar to our top electric oil diffuser, bringing some of the same positive properties. You still get that stellar LED light display, but you also get up to eleven hours of operation on a single run. If you left it on and you won’t be home to shut it off, don’t worry: they thought of that already. Auto shut-off enacts when the water supply runs out, so you’re not overheating your essential oil to the bottom of the tray and wasting it all. This also acts as a cool mist humidifier, bringing an entire aromatherapy atmosphere to your living area, turning your space into a spa. Quiet operation, energy efficient, and above all else, an absolutely low cost for an amazing experience.

TaoTRonics Cool Mist Aroma Diffuser adds cool mist to the room, and more of what you want to be breathing in: pure, 100% essential oil. This model offers PP construction, which is safe to use in the baby’s room at night without worrying about issues. On top of that safety feature, there’s also an automatic shut-off to maintain your system, even when it runs out of water. That water tank gives you wiggle room with 300ml, and a total of eight hours of operation. These are better used with the door open and in large spaces to avoid aromatherapy overload, but even if you have a smaller space in mind, you’ll be relieved to know that it’s an ultra quiet operation. Watch the LED lights change, enjoy the silence, and start breathing better. Be sure to also check out our list of the top humidifiers for more great items like this. 

You want a more relaxed and healthy environment, and Urpower Wood Grain Oil Diffuser is going to give it to you. You get a total of twelve hours of runtime, draining the 400ml water reservoir. You get a massive boost in humidity in the house, making this great for large spaces and dry climates. Quiet operation mixed with an excellent energy efficiency rating makes this seamless to use: you won’t hear it, nor will you see it affecting your energy bill that much. We’re a big fan of the wood finish, especially if you’re trying to change your atmosphere without having a bright-colored object drawing all the attention from the room.

InnoGear brings us another one with a much more rustic, gentlemanly zeal to it. Full wood grain finish, LED lights that only affect the center strip, and simple operation. Ultrasonic Cool Mist isn’t the quietest model, but it does bring an added element to the room. Choose between four different modes, including a timer feature, so you can get this started thirty minutes before you get home from work. Walk into a comforting atmosphere without burning through your essential oil supply, and just enjoy the rest of your night. With a 200ml tank, you’re able to run through it and add cool mist to the air, or switch modes and let it work for up to ten hours. Our handy air purifiers review features more great products like this. 

Urpower has a corner on this market, and it’s impossible to ignore over 5,800 user reviews and the Amazon’s Choice label. With an impressive 500ml water capacity, with Urpower Armoatherapy Station you get up to 12 hours of runtime depending on which mode you choose. Relaxation is in your grasp, especially if you utilize the timer settings to enact a half-hour before you get home from work. Your home environment should always be serene, especially after a long day. Flip on the LED light display for a little show, and if you leave it on, you’ve got nothing to worry about: there’s an automatic shut-off feature to rule out human error.

Real Bamboo, real cheap: you’re not interested in the plastic exterior on most models, and we understand that. Maintain the posh atmosphere of your personal space without sacrificing on quality. As you’d expect, you get seven different LED lights to aid in different moods in the room without the entire unit glowing. Either put it on continuous run, or flip it to 30/03: thirty seconds on, thirty off, rinse and repeat. The latter mode enables eight hours of use. Last but not least, you’re safe and sound with a waterless automatic shut-off feature, preventing you from damaging the unit, and running out of essential oil. Find more great products like this by checking out our list of amazing wall AC units.

Budgeters with a lot on their to-do list will get a kick out of this. They’ve comically added one extra LED light color to outweigh the competition, but the real value comes in the function. Not only can you diffuse essential oils for up to twelve straight hours, but Baxia Essential Oil Diffuser also acts as an air purifier to improve your quality of life, while gifting you the relaxation you deserve. This inexpensive model may not have the best aesthetics, so if you’re a bit shaky, you can always enact the 30-day money-back guarantee, or make good on the 90-day warranty for defects. You’ve got nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Halfway between a posh look and a little light show, this wood-accented scented oil diffuser gives you everything you need. This doubles as a humidifier, and runs on an impressive 700ml water reserve. You’ll get anywhere from ten to fourteen hours of use depending on which mode you choose, and that same great automatic shut-off feature that you need for peace of mind. Unlike many plastic models, this one has a bit more durability, and a softer LED display to not distract or take too much attention away. Thanks to the size and power, Square Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser is perfect for a large space to have it waft from the living room to the kitchen, and so on.

Relaxation is at your fingertips. This quiet-as-a-mouse aromatherapy scented oil diffuser sits comfortably on your coffee table, desk, or wherever you’re keen to place it. You’ll forget it’s even on, which is where the auto shut-off feature comes in handy, notifying you when it drops below 20ml of the 250ml water tank. While you don’t get a timer feature, Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser Bulb does have a ten hour runtime on average, keeping you locked away in serenity while you sleep through the night, and when you get ready in the morning. You get all the fun of the LED lights, and the smooth look of a wood panel finish for aesthetics.

Natrogix is so dead-set on you loving this Essential Oil Diffuser, that they’ve put a one-year warranty on this, and an extended 90-day money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied, for any reason. Though they’re very generous to offer, in our experience there’s nothing to be displeased about. There’s an impressive 10-12 hours of runtime, plus three different modes to change your atmosphere. Automatic shut-off, seven LED lights, the whole shebang, all topped off with the dual humidifier option. Change your surroundings, and slip into serenity with eccentric relaxation at your fingertips.

Last but not least, there’s another VicTsing model that we just had to show off. Aromatherapy Carbon Fiber Bulb comes in five different colors, though the carbon fiber black look was our favorite. There’s a 300ml water tank, auto shut-off feature, and a quiet operation that doesn’t falter when the water level drop. Reap the rewards of therapeutic relaxation through this aroma diffuser, completely shifting the atmosphere and enabling a more comfortable environment. From the warranty to the solid build and reliable operation, there’s a lot to love.
