I was sent this diffuser for an honest and unbiased review. This was good timing because I have been trying to find an alternative to burning candles to get rid of smell from cooking. I've read that candles have poisonous substances and are not good for you. This is my first experience with a diffuser.
The main types of diffusers are nebulizer diffusers, ultrasound diffusers, heat diffusers and evaporative diffusers. For a nice review of the different types you can go to http://wellnessmama.com/23343/essential-oil-diffuser-review/ The Soundsoul is an ultrasonic diffuser, where you add essential oil to the water. Because it doesn't burn the essential oil, you only use a few drops at one time, and it will last 2-3 hours. I like that it is quiet, and the water tank is big enough to last for 4 hours. The unit will stop when either the set time is up or when all the water is gone. The box also includes a measuring cup so that you don't have to hold the diffuser directly under the tap. There is a choice of different colours so it can also be used as a night lamp. The mist is also strong enough for me. One thing to note is that when you press the "Mist" button, make sure you hold it down for a little bit. At first I didn't hold long enough and the mist did not come on.
I do have a few suggestions for improvement. The English on the packaging and the manual is not too professional looking. In addition, it would be nice if the "light" and "mist" buttons are right below the mist outlet, so that we don't have to keep turning the diffuser around. Lastly, the cord groove at the bottom is very small, and my cord doesn't fit in it. Luckily, even when I don't use the cord groove, the unit stays even on the table.
