Nowadays, with people spending 80% of their day indoors, air-conditioned rooms, more waste bacteria, and lower humidity levels, more and more home appliances to improve the indoor environment are becoming popular, humidifiers, and aroma diffusers (also called Aromatherapy Diffuser, Aromatherapy Machine, Aromatherapy Equipment, Essential Oil Diffuser, etc.) being two of them.
So is aroma diffuser same as humidifier? The answer is definitely “NO”, let’s see why.
FUNCTION
Designed for essential oil users. Pure water and essential oils can be added. With the addition of essential oils, not only does it increase air humidity, but the aromatic molecules purify the air.
Can be used for aromatherapy, disinfection, air purification, humidification, interior decoration, etc. in any season, especially in dry and air-conditioned indoor environments.
The main function of the humidifier for humidification can only add fresh water, and some products structure due to the water level design issues, there are limitations to the water quality requirements. The regulation of air humidity is obviously better than the aromatherapy machine.
MATERIAL
Aromatherapy Diffuser
As most pure essential oils are acidic, they tend to be corrosive to common plastic containers. Therefore, most aromatherapy dispensers are made of PP material. The chip, wafer key, and atomizer are specially developed for essential oils and are resistant to oil, water and chemical corrosion. This means that the drops of essential oil in the aromatherapy diffuser can be used thoroughly, and the extremely fine aromatic molecules can be dispersed quickly and thoroughly to every corner. It is safe to use.
Humidifier
Ordinary humidifiers use ABS or AS plastic material for the water tank, the main medium used is water, which is not resistant to the corrosion of essential oils. If the essential oil drops in, it will easily lead to corrosion of the water chamber and shell, forming cracks and damage.
WATER TANK
Aromatherapy Machine
Essential oil aromatherapy machine designed for essential oil users, each product development are adhered to the humane and friendly use of the interface, another user in the use of the product/cleaning and maintenance of a good experience, especially the water chamber structure design simple, greatly facilitate the user to clean and maintain. But correspondingly, the water storage space is also very small, and the continuous range is not as good as the humidifier.
Humidifier
Humidifiers are basically equipped with a refill tank design, with a complex internal design of the water chamber, which is easy to produce limescale and difficult to clean after long-term use. But the range is stronger, usually can be used throughout the night.
FOG AMOUNT
Aromatherapy Equipment
The role of the aromatherapy equipment is to diffuse the fragrance of the essential oil, so that the person can better absorb the essential oil. Therefore, the aromatherapy diffuser’s mist is highly consistent and light to ensure that the particles are evenly distributed and stay in the air for a long time, allowing the body to absorb each molecule better and more fully.
Typically, aromatherapy diffusers are also equipped with vibration technology. The ultrasonic vibration technology can atomize the water molecules to the nano level to effectively disperse the essential oil into the air.
Humidifier
Humidifier to humidify the main live only function, usually using 20 ~ 25mm diameter large diameter atomization piece, the particles generated by the large and heavy, fog thick, water mist particles in the air to stay for a very short time and not far away.
OSCILLATORY TECHNIQUE
Aromatherapy Diffuser
The aromatherapy diffuser uses ultrasonic vibration technology, which can atomize the water molecules to the nano level can effectively disperse the aromatherapy essential oil diffusion into the air, so that we bathe in the fragrant air.
Humidifier
The humidifier’s ultrasonic vibration power is insufficient, can’t make the aromatherapy essential oil complete decomposition release, may part of the essential oil exists on the tank wall, waste of essential oil.
CLEANING METHODS
Essential Oil Diffuser
The water tank of the essential oil diffuser after a special treatment process, use, cleaning are more convenient.
Humidifier
Ordinary humidifiers are prone to dirt after use due to their relatively ordinary material, and the cleaning solution is difficult to clean. The atomization chip may also be blocked aging.
SUM UP
Aromatherapy Equipment
The aromatherapy diffuser is truly a small item that adds a sense of well-being to your life. Not only is it easy to carry around, but it can also be used as a night light, and the mist with essential oils not only relieves fatigue but also helps you sleep.
It is a must-have small appliance for people who have a quality of life.
Humidifier
The humidifier is more suitable for dry weather or long-term air conditioning environment, can adjust the indoor humidity balance, for long-term office in the air-conditioned room is good for the skin health of the girls in the small appliances.
The humidifier is a little more clearly functional, humidifying function is a little stronger.
