URPOWER Upgraded 500ML Essential Oil Diffuser Humidifiers Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffusers with 4 Timer Settings and Waterless Auto Shut-Off for Home Office Living Room Yoga Spa

Small But Mighty
With the arrival of colder weather and my furnace kicking back on, the air in my house became unbearably dry. I was waking up every morning with a bloody nose and my throat on fire. I decided I couldn’t spend the entire season that way, and set about looking for a humidifier.While researching several (much) larger and more expensive models, I came across the URPOWER Aromatherapy diffuser. I liked the idea of a machine that could put the moisture I needed into the air, while also doubling as an essential oil diffuser. Initially I was hesitant, given that the tank held only 500ml of water and the cheap price. Would it work well enough to improve the air quality in my house? Would it quit after a half-dozen uses? After reading the positive reviews on Amazon and finding it on a couple of “Top 10” product lists, I was convinced to give it a try, despite my reservations.Let me tell you, this little thing is a powerhouse. I’ve been using it every night for about four months now, and 500ml has been more than enough water to humidify my bedroom so I can sleep comfortably. I haven’t woken up with a sore throat/dry nose even once since I started using it!The wording of the user/instruction manual that comes with this product leaves something to be desired. However, the machine is simple enough that you can pretty much figure out its operation on your own. Press the “Mist” button to turn the unit on. On the front are four settings – 60, 120, 180 and ON. Continuing to press the “Mist” button will cycle through these settings. Choosing any of the first three will turn the unit on for that number of minutes; choosing ON will let it run until the tank is out of water. A small green light is illuminated above the setting you’ve chosen. Press and hold the “Mist” button again to turn the unit off. There is also a High/Low button, to set the level of mist output. When pressing this button, one beep = high and two beeps = low. Personally, I don’t notice a huge difference in the output between the high and low settings.There is also a “Light” function. You can set it to cycle through all seven or eight colors, or keep it on one color by pressing and holding the “Light” button. The light is very bright – certainly bright enough to use as a nightlight. Some people, though, might find it a little too bright to have on while trying to fall asleep. For this reason, I don’t use the light at night.I’ve read some other reviews where folks said the small green light on the front of the unit, above the time setting, was so bright that it bothered them and didn’t allow them to sleep. I have not found this to be the case. While visible, the light is very small (about as big around as a pencil eraser) and soft. While there is no way to shut this light off, I don’t find that it bothers me at all or interferes with my ability to sleep.I’ve also read some reviews where people complained about the noise. The machine does emit a quiet, low-pitched humming sound while in operation, and you can also hear the intermittent sound of trickling water. I actually find this to be relaxing. (I do, however, fall asleep to music or a sound machine on most nights. I like a little bit of ambient sound to lull me to sleep. If you’re someone who needs absolute silence to fall asleep, you might not want this in your bedroom).By the way, it’s not just nice for sleeping/nighttime use. I have used it in my large (13×9) living room both for humidifying and diffusing oil. Even in a bigger room, it improves the air quality and distributes the scent nicely. The colorful lights create a relaxing ambience.I have not had the problem some others described of mold in the tank, even with heavy daily use. The instructions say to wipe the condensation/excess water droplets out of the tank after each use, and to gently clean the inside of it with mild detergent after every three or four uses. I just use a dab of plain old dish soap. When not in use, I wipe it out and leave it with the top off, so the inside of the unit can air dry. Just taking a couple of minutes each day to follow these simple steps has kept it working well – no mold, no issues. I also only use filtered/purified water in it, never water directly from the tap.Oh, speaking of the lid – be careful when carrying this thing after filling the tank. Hold it by the base. The lid merely sits on the top. It doesn’t latch.Overall, I give the URPOWER five stars. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Does what I need it to do. For the price, you really can’t beat it. (Fortunately in this case, the cheap cost did NOT turn into a “You get what you pay for” scenario). I’m glad I gave it a shot.

I was so hesitant to purchase this. But quite frankly I wish I bought it sooner! I’ve now had it almost three months. It’s extremely quiet. When you put the mist on high – you can hear a slight trickle of water – but it’s so incredibly calming. I used an essential oil from the grocery store and then one from Saje. Both worked equally amazing. Easy to fill. Really cool lights with various colours. It has a small green power light that stays on all the time. I tried to depict it in the photos.Lights are suttle. I have mine in my living room but honestly I’m buying a second one for my bedroom.

I’ve had this for a week now and I’m loving it. Easy to fill using the Line guide on the side and I love that I can change the direction of the mist. The colours when you press the light button are beautiful but the best thing is not having to refill constantly.

I got my package today. The measuring cup was cracked at the bottom right out of the box. Otherwise, the diffuser itself seems to be working fine so far.
