Ah, summertime! It’s that time of year to relax out on the porch, sip some lavender icetea, and watch the sun slowly dip behind the tree line. But if there’s one thing that can snap you straight out of that soothing summer bliss, it’s mosquitoes and other creepy crawlies found around your home! If you use essential oils, you probably already know just how relaxing it is to sink into a warm bath of lavender or turn on that diffuser with peppermint oil. But did you know that you can also use some essential oils to help repel bugs and other pests? Essential oils are a natural, safe way to rid your home of pests that are a great alternative to pesticides. For my tests, Pura sent me two fragrance samples that I tested for a month: volcano and coconut calm. With the Pura Diffuser's adjustable fragrance intensity, both scents diffused well in rooms of all sizes.

Having an essential oil diffuser in your home is a form of self-care, and there are a lot of different types to choose from. Nebulizing diffusers work by using pressurized air to spread a mist of oil out. They don’t require water or heat, so they are extremely low maintenance.

Scents are incredibly important when it comes to making your home inviting and cozy. With essential oils and essential oil diffusers, you have the ability to take your space to the next level. What really makes the Asakuki stand out against the other diffusers, though, is its 500-mL water tank. The Asakuki's large tank means you won't have to refill it frequently. In my testing, I ran it for a full 16 hours before needing to refill the reservoir. Another plus for this diffuser is how easy it is to clean. I simply diffused like normal with water and a few drops of white vinegar.

So far, I love this product! It has a cute upside-down funnel shape. The top part is a textured plastic that has the appearance of glass, and it easily lifts off to fill the basin below. I love the variety of options, as both the light and the misting have multiple settings. The light, which can be used alone, can be set to brighter or dimmer, and you can also choose to stay on a single color versus rotating. The mist can be steady or intermittent, and it can be set for various auto-off lengths. Although there are only 2 buttons controlling these features, the use is simple. The unit comes with the powder cord as well as a plastic cup for adding water. There are helpful instructions which include advice on cleaning. Ease of cleaning: Along with ease of use, I made note of how tedious or simple it was to clean each diffuser.

Although this diffuser isn't the fanciest, it has seven LED mood lights and automatically shuts off after its run time is complete. Run time and water capacity: I filled each diffuser to its maximum water capacity and noted how many hours it diffused the oils and how often I had to refill the diffuser. For nebulizing diffusers, I considered how much time was needed to diffuse oils throughout a room. IN-1 AROMATHERAPY DEVICE: This ultrasonic essential oil diffuser is an amazing multifunction aromatherapy device unlike any other you've ever used. It features a large and easy to clean 300ml water tank, 7 different LED light colors, multiple mist nebulizer modes, as well as a safety auto-switch that prevents it from overheating in case it runs out of water.
