Review on ASAKUKI Smart WiFi Essential Oil Aromatherapy Diffuser With Alexa And Google Home Voice Control, 700Ml Ultrasonic Humidifier - 7 LED Colors & Create Schedules by Taurus Monsalve

Pros:Very quiet operation.Larger than typical capacity At 700 ml.Easy to clean.Pretty colors.Night mode (no blue light option).Can schedule colors, mists, night mode through app.Cons:If you are unlucky, and your device doesn’t link to your phone app on the first try, you have to try a bunch of stuff to make it work.For me, I had a 5GHz wifi network, which was an issue since this device only works with 2.4GHz wifi networks.In a situation like mine, pairing the device to your phone (so that you can control it remotely through the app) requires manipulating your phone’s wifi connections. This is a serious pain for the sake of using a simple diffuser. When I ran into this issue, I tried to use the device by just using the buttons on it.that turned out to be such a hassle that I decided to return the product if I could not get the diffuser to connect to the app.After checking my router and seeing that we did have both a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz Wi-Fi, I had to make my phone "forget” the 5GHz wifi connection, connect to the 2.4 GHz connection, then connect to the 2.4GHz wifi again inside the app, then switch out of the app and back to phone’s wifi settings to connect to a wifi that the device was projecting. All this while trying to unplug, "turn off”, and/or correspond certain steps for 3, 5 or 10 seconds with a "no light”/"slow blink”/ "fast blink” indicator light on the device. After FINALLY getting the app to recognize the device, I had to go back in to my phone’s wifi settings to re-connect to my 5GHz wifi.SUCH a hassle!During the days before I had gotten the app to work I tried to use the buttons on the front, but they are really vague. There’s three buttons, only one of which is labeled (it says Wi-Fi); one button has an impression of a lightbulb below it and another one has a couple drops of water below it.so you know what they are for.but you have no real idea what setting you’re actually on when you use the buttons. For example, you can’t really tell what ‘timer setting’ you have selected. And many of the best options associated with this diffuser are only accessible through the app’s controls. I found that really frustrating.The scent dispersed when using Essential Oils is strong at first, but certainly tapers off over time since the oils float on the water and there’s so much water below the oils. so you definitely notice it less after a few hours.This is a 700ml tank and the measuring cup that comes with the device is 150ml. I don’t really see the point of it. I mean, why bother? You have to fill the cup four times + a partial fill of 100ml. It feels like the cup is an after thought. Its easier just to fill a large cup or large liquid measuring cup rather than go through the trouble of using the one provided with the device. Seems like a waste of plastic.Also, I hate that the lid just rests on top. I have cats and they love to help gravity do its thing. So i don’t much like the idea that I have 700ml of water and oils that could be spilled out at any time.Overall, now that I have the app controls working I think I like it. But it has been such a massive pain I could see me putting this device away or in a guest room for occasional use in favor of a better designed diffuser.Also, since this relies so heavily on app controls, I’m a bit concerned this device could become obsolete at any time should the app stop being available.
