If you lean more toward minimalist aesthetics, then you will likely love the Deneve Riverock. This diffuser is stylish, compact and it will blend in well with any modern décor. Its specifications include:

  • 70 ml tank size
  • 250 sq ft coverage
  • Lasts up to 5 hours
  • Shuts off automatically
  • Available in black and white
  • Safe to use with citrus essential oil

Advantages

Modern aesthetics
One of the best things about the Deneve Riverock diffuser is its sleek and compact design. Just 6.5 long, it will not take up more space than is necessary. This beautiful diffuser will look amazing when displayed at a spa, office or any visible location in your house.

Tantalizing sound
An essential oil diffuser ought to provide a relaxing atmosphere and that’s exactly what the Deneve Riverock does. The diffuser is very quiet with the only sound produced by the atomizer being one that mimics a soft water fountain.

User friendly
The Deneve Riverock comes with a single, easy to use button that turns the diffuser on and goes off automatically after going through all the three light modes. It also features a cyclical LED light, which adds to the diffuser’s beautiful aesthetics without being intrusive.

You may also turn off the LED light at night if you need to sleep in complete darkness. Given that the diffuser shuts off automatically when the tank is empty, it is safe to keep the diffuser on when you are sleeping or engaged in other activities that may take your attention away from the diffuser.

Downsides

Settings
Although the Deneve Riverock is among the best diffusers you will come across, it has some downsides. For starters, unlike other essential oil diffusers, this one has just a single setting for the mist option.

Run time
The Riverock diffuser has a relatively small tank and runs for about 5 hours so it may not be enough to use all day. Given that the tank is not too deep, you need to be careful not to spill your water when moving the diffuser.

Usability
While many of the features of this diffuser are very user friendly, some users have complained that controlling the diffuser using the large button can be especially difficult if the diffuser is not resting on a flat solid surface.

Bottom line

The Deneve Riverock diffuser is a worthwhile investment; you will have very few regrets, if any at all. Don’t let any of the cons above put you off. Users typically find it easy to use this diffuser; as long as the Riverock is laying on a flat and solid surface, you should not have a hard time finding and operating the on/off switch. Use this button to control the atomizer and LED light.

If you like to sleep with the diffuser on at your bedside, you can easily turn it off any time without needing to put the lights on or open your eye – simply push the button once to turn it on and once to turn it off.

PureSpa Deluxe

purespa delux oil diffuser

You will adore the PureSpa Deluxe diffuser if you prefer simplicity, clean lines and subtlety. As you might guess from its name, this diffuser exudes a sense of calm and class with its low-key color-changing lights. Its key features include:

  • 120 ml tank size
  • Run time of up to 10 hours
  • 250 sq ft coverage
  • Automatic shut off
  • Not recommended to be used with citrus oils

Advantages

Deep tank
One of the features that make the PureSpa Deluxe popular among users is its large deep tank. Even better, the tank is marked inside so you can easily measure your water for best results when diffusing essential oils.

Run time
While most diffusers have a short runtime of about 5 hours, PureSpa can run for up to ten hours -- you can pretty much put it on and enjoy it the whole day. The LED lights are especially vibrant when compared to other diffusers but you have the option of switching the LED off if you prefer to use the diffuser with its lights off.

Desirable appearance
One of the features that jumps right off this diffuser is its clean cut lines that exude professionalism -- this one would look great in your office or cubicle.

Quality guarantee
While most diffusers offer a one year guarantee, the PureSpa offers a 2 year guarantee, an indication that the manufacturer is confident about the quality of its products.

Downsides

Ease of use
Some users have complained that the control button is not always responsive to touch when pressed, which can make it a little annoying to turn the device on or off. The button responds to touch and when plugged in, it is possible to  turn the diffuser on or off.

Noise level
The PureSpa diffuser may produce a background hum. Although this sound is not super impossible to tolerate, it is a bit louder compared to other diffusers and may cause mild annoyance.Another minor annoyance may stem from the on/off beep when the diffuser button is pressed but this shouldn’t be a major deal breaker.

LED Light
If you are looking for an essential oil diffuser that can be set on a specific color, the PureSpa Delux may not be what you are looking for. The colors on this one keep changing, so you might want to look for another model.

Bottom line

The PureSpa Deluxe essential oil diffuser is an excellent buy if only for its capacity and runtime. Fortunately, those are not the only features that make this a great diffuser to have; in addition to being really beautiful, the PureSpa is also very sturdy and is designed to minimize potential spillage.

Tank capacity
With a sheer tank capacity of 350 ml and a longer runtime, the BellaSentials makes for a worthwhile investment. On high setting, the diffuser can run for up to eight hours and as long as twelve hours on a low setting; this means you can use your diffuser all day or all night long.

Downsides

While its large tank size is a great feature, it also makes BellaSentials a particularly large diffuser. Measuring at 8.5” W x 6.5” D x 3”, this diffuser will take up a little more space when compared to other diffusers.

Usability
We’ve already seen that this diffuser is generally very user friendly. One caveat though, the BellaSentials does not come with a visible fill line; this means you would have to be extra careful to measure your water to avoid spillage.

Bottom line

If you are looking for an amazing diffuser that you can use for longer periods, BellaSentials is a great bet. Other than its large tank size and long runtime, it is also very quiet. You will love the soft LED lights that can be adjusted to your preference.

The soft movement of water in the tank is one of the coolest features of this diffuser. Other than this sound, the Dew LiteMist is completely silent, making for a peaceful aromatherapy session.

Nighttime use
In spite of all of its beauty and great usability, it is not possible to run this diffuser at night if you must sleep in complete darkness.

GreenAir Spa Vapor

greenair spa vapor

The GreenAir Spa Vapor is definitely a keeper. It is one of those glowing essential oil diffusers that just give you a feeling of home - that’s how warm it looks and feels. The key features of this diffuser include:

  • Run time of up to 5 hours
  • 150 ml tank size
  • Coverage of 250 sq ft
  • Auto shutoff
  • Available in glowing LED colors with a touch of silver
  • Safe to use with citrus oils

Advantages

Functionality
The GreenAir diffuser comes with easy to use controls. The light button and the on/off button work independently so you can keep the LED lights on while the atomizer is off.

User friendliness
This diffuser is definitely very colorful; in fact, the color -changing LED lights make up the majority of the diffuser. However, the lights are pleasantly soft and the best part is that you can switch off the lights at night if you prefer to sleep in total darkness.

Value
One of the best features of the GreenAir diffuser is its deep tank and a visible fill line. This allows you to not only avoid spilling the water but also allows for a relatively good run time. The diffuser also has a heavy, solid bottom that offers it great stability.

Sound
While this diffuser does have a slightly louder hum compared to others on this list, the sound is actually not irritating if you do not mind white noise.

Downsides

Usability
Generally, the GreenAir diffuser is user friendly. One pesky disadvantage is that the diffuser’s lid is made up of three parts, making it possible to lose any of these parts therefore rendering the diffuser useless if this were to happen. The small cylindrical mist controller is especially vulnerable to getting lost, so you might want to be careful with that.

Bottom line

If you love LED displays and warm glows of lights, you will likely adore the GreenAir diffuser with its color-changing lamp.
