Aroma2Go USB Diffuser - Travel Essential Oil Aroma Diffuser

A little bit of background: I came to essential oils primarily as a way to combat allergies years back. I've tried a little of everything from the electric diffusers you can buy at your grocery store to my favorite ever home diffuser ( Aromatherapy Diffuser - Professional Grade (Orbis Lux Merus)  in case you're interested). I've been using scent balls for my office but left my old, trusty scent ball in the Midwest while vacationing. After an appropriate mourning period I began looking for a replacement and stumbled upon  Aroma2Go USB Diffuser - Travel Essential Oil Aroma Diffuser . I've only had it for a couple of days at this point but I wanted to share my initial impressions as there are so few reviews of the product at this point.General OverviewIt looks a lot like a standard usb drive and sticks out much as an old usb stick or bluetooth adapter would have. It measures about 2 1/2" once inserted into a port. It will be very easy to dislodge if you're placing it in a laptop that you actually pick up and move around.It flashes like a usb drive or network adapter to show that it is receiving power. This isn't bothersom for me during the day but would be a deal breaker at night. I have every intention of covering it with tape before I travel extensively with it.It makes a soft clicking type noise when active (in sync with the flashing). The noise is soft enough that I don't notice it in my fairly quiet office; however, I would notice it in silence. That said, I'm told I have bat hearing and it is completely possible to you might not even notice the sound.ProsThe size of the Aroma2Go makes it perfect for travel. Thus far I've used it in my office, in the car, and at home. I've had good results in the office and in the car. Less so at home. My previous diffuser filled the office with scent and it spilled into the hallway and adjoining departments. While no one has ever complained, I was always aware of it and didn't want to bother others should they not care for my choice of scent that day. The Aroma2Go does not leave my office. It really doesn't even completely fill my office in a noticable way. That's actually perfect fo me. I have ample scent in my workspace without overpowering my whole corner of the building. I find that I prefer the highest setting in the office. The highest setting was a bit too much for the car though. I noticed a couple of things when using it in the car. First, it is a smaller confined space to the scent fills and perhaps overwhelms more easily. Second, the usb adapter I'm using in my car was intended to charge my  BLACKBERRY Z10 16GB BLACK FACTORY UNLOCKED GSM  (great phone, btw) and seems to have more power than the usb port on my laptop. I have nothing but anecdotal evidence to support that observation but it certaily seems more powerful.I love the tiny oil bottle that fits inside the Aroma2Go! It is very small but seems to hold enough oil to get me through several days of moderate use. The lid and wick seem sturdy and don't cause me any concern regarding their longevity.I like the ability to choose three levels of diffusion. It makes it much more useful in different sized rooms.ConsThe size of the Aroma2Go means it has a pretty small coverage footprint. While it was perfect for my office and car, I didn't even notice it in my living room. That said, I do have a pretty open concept living area and I didn't really expect the same results I get with a full sized diffuser.The filling/cleaning tools that come with it are tiny. I appreciate having them but wish they'd been scaled to be a bit more useful.I really need more than one oil bottle. They do sell extra bottles and I'll likely pick some of those up soon. Including two would have been ideal.Filling the oil bottles can be a challenge. It does come with a tiny syringe-like tool to help but that isn't at all useful if you have the common 1 oz bottles with droppers.All in all I like the Aroma2Go a lot. The description is clear on what's included and I find it well suited to the tasks I intend it for. I hope that it will be a part of my travel routine for a long time to come.

It's ok as it does diffuse enough of the oil for you to enjoy while @ your pc. My main complaint is you don't get a lot for the $24.99 price tag. The item comes w/a very small glass vial as shown in the photo. It you fill up the vial with oil and you set it on the minimum setting, the oil will last about 7-8 hours (regardless of what they may claim). Set on the highest of the 3 settings and it will run out in 3 hours. I really wish it would have come with additional vials so that you could switch out the fragrances throughout the day. I believe you can purchase additional vials but for $24.99, just seems like that should be included.

I got this and the first month loved it. It was great to take with me for work or even in the USB plug in my car. I even bought some of the extra bottles to have on hand. Then it stopped working. It turns on but doesn't diffuse any more. I went through the entire cleaning processes per directions multiple times and still haven't been able to get it to work again. I don't know if it is just mine or not but hope they can improve on the design just a little bit.

I bought this planning to use it for Theive's Blend, but inside the package is a disclaimer that those types of oils will damage the diffuser. I didn't find out it wasn't appropriate for the use I intended until after I received the diffuser and opened the package. This should be stated clearly in the online ads!

I liked the concept of this product. And it works. But, I was expecting that the scent would stay longer than it did. It seems like a lot of essential oil to use for such a short lived scent.I also wanted a leave-it-and-forget-it option but this requires that you plug, unplug, and refill often.

I love the portability of it. It works great, but the top and bottom are starting to show signs of separation after just filling it about 3 times. I am not rough on it at all. The little container that holds the oils is hard to get out.

I thought this was a cool product until I actually want to use it. The idea is great but it does not work at all after using it for one week.I think it's cheap and it is NOT MADE FOR REAL ESSENTIAL OILS!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tried cleaning it out and it is still worthless.Do not waste your time on this one. You would be better off just sniffing your oils straight from the bottle or putting some oil on a cotton ball. ****KEEP ESSENTIAL OILS AWAY FROM PETS - IT CAN KILL THEM JUST FROM SMELLING THE DIFFUSER.

I am enjoying the diffuser at work. It helps tremendously when the air around me is filled with perfumes, colognes, and smokers. I have one complaint and that is the back cover (inside holding it together) broke after opening it 3 times. I am confident this issue will be resolved.
