My husband bought me this for my birthday. The diffuser runs for a long time and makes the whole room smell wonderful. It comes apart and is easy to clean. Only downside is I downloaded the app but never could get it to connect.I've had this aromatherapy essential oil diffuser for a day and since the moment that I set it up, every single aspect of it worked absolutely seamlessly. From the easy assemble to setting up the Wi-Fi and connections to Alexa and Google Home. I am so much pleased that I went ahead and ordered a second identical unit for my bedroom. This product is a must have if you are like me, a beginner experimenting with essential oils and aromatherapy.This product is advertised as wireless and it’s definitely NOT wireless. Update your advertising.Update: Now that I’ve used this diffuser for a few days now, I’m updating my 1 star review to a 5 star review. I am over the fact this unit is not wireless, but it works great and I very pleased so far.The device itself works GREAT. I mean, blows away my other diffusers. The wifi and app, not so much (but will "work").This pumps out quite a stream. My house fills with scent (farther) and in short time (faster) than all my other diffusers. Oil is going to go a long way here. Short story, i'll get another one of these for my basement and give away my other diffusers, Using less oil will pay for itselfSetting this up is terrible though. I had to call their support and i/m an IT expert. Don't despair, here's what you need to know.- the instructions and the app don't match. It appears that the app is updated after product is packaged.- app is made by a 3rd party company that has no idea about the device. This all starts to make sense.- You need to download app, setup account, then go into add device ("+ sign in top right corner). This is in the instructions- whats not in the instructions is that you need to scroll alll the way to the bottom category, select "other" then select "other wifi devices" from the list, then it will go into a pairing mode.- there are two modes, they dont explain what they are. They actually use wrong terminology.- when you go into pairing, right button on device contorls on/off and wifi modes. slow pulse is "manual model". Fast is other mode. Long presss to toggle between them. Try and use fast pulse, it sans network and if unsuccessful you can choose the other mode that will let you manually find and connect to it. FYI, wifi pairing details (these details) arent in the manual.The wifi app is basic. For every schedule routine you setup (turn on at "x" time), you need to create another routine to turn it off (or stays on indefinitely). Why they dont just have a feature that lets you say "turn off after 5 minutes" is beyond me. Also, the buttons to make selections in setting up routines are terrible...you'll see.The good part of the app is if you want to just contorl it in real time (now), those buttons and controls are really good. So thankfully, i dont think i will be spending as much time scheduling things in the app as i might ad hoc (because i'll set a schedule and likely leave it).Last, it asks for permissions to bluetooth and location. This device pairs via wifi, so i cant imagine why it needs access to bluetoth (it doesn't since i didn't grant access). Also, same for location services. I imagine because the app is made by a third party that connects to what seems like hundreds of potential devices that may have these functions, it asks anyhow. You can say no, it will work. It appears to work with google home (the app), so perhaps this is where location services might be useful if you are on that platform and wish to setup a routine. Outside of this, from a security standpoint, say "no". Change it later if you need to.I do recommend this device, hopefully this review helps people save some time and hassle - and developer takes more care with instructions they provide.I have this timed for every day use. I love it paired with my Alexa if I want to use it even more.I've had this "aroma therapy tool" to humidifier and have my apartment smell a little nicer; I honestly didn't think it would last more than 3 month cause cheap plastic and heavy emphasizing on tech (which there not lying it works amazingly well) and well it has been running for over 2 years, still connects, still light up. It is absolutely consistent.Infact, I need to buy another one for the bathroom and am most certainly get this one again.I went through no less than three diffusers prior to finally getting this one...I'm hopeful this review might save those looking to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy the pitfalls. Nebulizers are more expensive, but possibly better achieving benefits, might want to look there to start. I like the humidifier aspect of these for now, works great for me. Turns out at least 80% of the essential oil diffuser/small humidifier market at the common price point of around 30 dollars...is garbage. Tiny little hard to read function buttons on the side, small reservoirs that leak into these buttons causing them to fail, delicate yet pretty (sort of garish) glass or thin cheap plastic covers that make filling an overly delicate or annoying procedure, little plastic remote controls that randomly beep/respond to your TV or other media/appliance remote commands, questionable moisture and condensation isolation from electronics that may result in a short circuit, the list goes on. It's pathetic bridging on manufacturer scam really. Previous units to this one either failed entirely or partially within 4-6 months due to cheap, lazy, thoughtless mass production.Skip to something good, just start with this one! It's thoughtfully well designed and has everything you'll likely ever need from this type of product, here's the details to support that...The Goods:>Wifi all good, up in a minute or three with free TUYA app (generic appliance platform app that does a ton of different device controls, look for "Small Humidifier BLE" device in the list, thumbnail looks like this diffuser), log in, enter wifi password info, good to go. Once you've done this for appliances, it's all the same.>Confirmed Google assistant syncs (although I rarely use this for appliance control, don't need to chat with this stuff, prefer the apps).>Functionally great, effortless lift on/off cover, large flat reservoir makes it easy to fill, measure oil, and clean (you need to clean them periodically, they clog and work poorly if you don't, nature of water added diffuser technology, a bit of isopropyl alcohol tends to make short work of this).>Simple physical design with large buttons. Robust plastic looks to last many years and survive those woops over tile floor moments (unlike pretty glass light shows), but they are way less likely to happen with this unit.>App has scheduling for light and mist/strength individually (surprised by this dual functionality actually), with an easy to grasp graphical interface.>Lighting is discrete but visible for status, not only in LED band around the base, also lights up where mist is emitted.The Neutrals:I've found (and read in other reviews) the unit forgets settings when it shuts down (basically when it runs dry). The color defaults to rainbow scrolling with weak mist setting at manual power on. However, no big deal for me, it's easy enough to set it up quickly with the app for manual use. The work around is committing to the scheduler, it remembers all settings every time it comes on automatically...just have to remember to fill it each day you have it scheduled.I'm very happy with the product. Well packaged, everything you need to get started except oils for smell. Works excellent with Google voice operation. Timers work perfectly as well.Unfortunately the instruction booklet says to look for Graffiti App which doesn't actually appear to exist. The correct app is called "TUYA" and it is a red based icon. Pretty easy to find. The app itself allows you to change the colours, the mist levels, and set schedules which is great. But when it comes to working with Alexa it thinks the product is a light, so it allows you to turn the light on and off, and change the colours. While this is great, there is no command Alexa will recognize for changing the mist. So the mist will need to be changed on the app or manually. It appears to be a good product overall, but I am giving it 3 stars because I hate sellers that don't keep information updated. The app in the instructions is wrong, so this should be addressed or maybe make a note online to help. Decent product, limited compatibility with Alexa.Since the device comes with a US plug I couldn’t test the diffuser. Messaged the seller and responded that they don’t have a AU plug in store and that it’s up to me to find one elsewhere. A bit disappointed. Bought myself a plug and product worked fine. So when you buy in Australia keep in mind you need to buy a different plug! The device is not to noisy it gives a soft buzz and some bubble sound (like you listen to a small fountain. Kind a relaxing). Colours are nice, and it has a nice design.What can I add to the material you read about this product?It is quality, and it does all that I need of the machine (possibly more, as I haven't explored all the options)Would definitely buy another if the need aroseI love knowing this can come on in the morning automatically. I love being able to speak and have it turn on or off.Lo único malo es que se ensucia rápido y empieza a fallar. el uso con celular es fantastico pero a pesar de limpiarlo ya no funciona. No sirve
