Review on Transform Your Home With ASAKUKI'S 5-In-1 Premium Essential Oil Diffuser And Humidifier by Donald Cox

Initially I wanted and was looking at glass diffusers when I ran across this Asakuki model. It holds 700ml water while most diffusers hold 200ml to 400ml. Even though it is plastic the plastic is safe enough to use making baby bottles plus did I mention it holds 700ml water? That is huge. This diffuser is manufactured in China but designed in Japan, known for attractive simple designs that will fit in anywhere. That is an apt description of this diffuser. It is simple, attractive and would look good anywhere in any room in the house. Additionally it runs for a very long time.I planned to use the diffuser for my indoor "garden" even though I could not use essential oils in it. Apparently the steam is not safe for cats as it gets on their fur which they then lick off. That meant I would be using the diffuser as a humidifier only (no room for a room sized model). The rotation of light is very pleasant. I personally do not hear any sounds from it while it is running. Cleaning once a week is recommended and those instructions are included in a little instruction booklet included in the shipping box. The cleaning process is easy and not very time consuming.Now to operating this 5-star diffuser. I add this section in case the learning curve is as as confusing for any future purchasers as it was for me! It has 3 tabs on the bottom. Tab 1 regulates the lights. Tap it once and the rotating lights start. If the user wants to set the light on a specific color then when the rotation reaches that color quickly tap the button again. To turn the light off hold the button down briefly until the lights stop completely. The light button has no effect on the steam.Next the third tab regulates the steam. Tap once and the steam starts (assumed from the instruction booklet to be continuous steam running). Tap second time for one hour run time, tap again to get 3 hours run time, 4th tap is 6 hours run time. Tap again (5th tap) turns the steam off.I rarely use the 2nd (middle tab) because it controls how much steam comes out. For me just tapping the 3rd tab once to start the steam is thick enough for me. Each tap on the middle tab will increase the thickness of the steam. My practice run indicated that each tap of that middle tab will increase the steam to the point it looks like a smokestack!The water receptacle part of the diffuser holds a lot of water (well 700ml) and has a fill line mark which the booklet indicates should not be passed. The diffuser automatically stops running when it runs out of water. Since one should not get the cord wet, the booklet recommends emptying from the left side. That's about it except to reiterate that I really, really like both the look and the function of this diffuser. I'd buy it again in a nano second. A great diffuser and a great purchase.
