Comments:

All three ultrasonic diffusers performed well and are recommended. Other models were tested, like the Westinghouse model) but did not perform well enough to be included in this review.

 

So which one should you buy?

Of all three products, the Spa Mist Ultrasonic Mister and Aromatherapy Diffuser had the strongest diffusing action. So if that is what you really want – maximum output – then get the Spa Mist. Plus, the Spa Mist uses plain tap water, which is very convenient, and it has the lowest price. If you want the clock and nature sounds, then get the Oregon. However, the Oregon Diffuser had the weakest diffusing action. The H2EO Aircare Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffuser for Essential Oils was the best all-around choice. It is quieter than the Spa Mist, the controls are on the top of the machine, and it has 3 output levels. This is a perfect aromatherapy diffuser to have on your bed-side table at night-time.
