- Hi, I'm Parris and I really don't care for strong smells
especially artificial chemically smells
like the stuff you spray around your house
or air fresheners in cars.
So I was a little bit hesitant
to do this essential oil diffuser review
but I'm told that these pure essential oils
are a whole different world of smell
and the kind of products that you buy to mask smells
in your house or in your car.
So thank to this company, Tenswall,
for taking a chance that I might actually like aromatherapy
and giving me a chance to try it out.
♫ Epic review guys.
- I think this is their newest updated model.
I know that it holds a lot of water,
400 milliliters compared to the little diffusers
that I've seen at the store,
this one out of run for quite awhile,
has some nice features,
lights that change colors and so forth.
It's selling on Amazon for about $30 right now
and to find out more about it,
check out the link down below this video.
Now I like the smell of flowers,
I like the smell of summer rains and all of that.
Natural smells that don't overwhelm you.
But standing behind someone in the elevator
that's put on half a bottle of perfume,
it's almost painful.
I really really dislike those strong smells.
So let's see what this will do to me and or for me.
Well, this is what it looks like.
I feel like there's going to be a meal in here.
It's a food video, no.
Oh, this is where they put the power supply,
a measuring cup,
some more information,
and as I told you, it does hold a lot of water.
So if you like this to go for hours and hours,
I think this is a good model.
Now, I made a trick over to the supermarket today
to pick up some essential oils.
Doesn't matter where you go for them,
I knew they sold them there
and they had about 20 different
what are they called, scents I guess or varieties.
So I picked out these two,
I picked out tangerine
because I love it when you open a tangerine,
that smell that you have
and I picked out jasmine
because I really like that smell
in tea and in rice.
Now I know for aromatherapy,
that the different essential oils
can help you out in different ways,
psychologically, maybe medically.
Depending on what you need,
you pick different oils.
You can use just one.
It seems like a lot of them,
from the instructions on the back.
You can mix a few drops of this, a few drops of this
and it can help you out.
I have no knowledge of that
so this video is just trying this out
to see how it works, the different features
and to see if it makes my room smell nice.
And I do owe a debt of gratitude to one of our viewers,
Darcy in Florida,
who I knew is very knowledgeable about this
and she very kindly shared information
such as what I thought,
that you don't take the bottle of the essential oil
and pour it in and turn the thing on.
I was thinking, that's awfully expensive
for a few hours of scent in your room
'cause this was $10 for the tangerine.
She said, "No, it's a few drops in the thing
"filled with water."
So she advised me and explained about this,
about the fragrance oils
versus those that can help you out emotionally
and you saved me from pouring this whole bottle in here
and probably getting much more of a scents
than I could possibly stand.
Here's a close up of the diffuser.
You can see the buttons for operating the light
and also the mister.
The light, you can set it by default.
It changes colors slowly.
You can choose a solid color,
bright or dim, or no color.
The mist you can turn it on
and just leave it running
until it runs out of water
which could be 10 hours.
I guess it depends on the temperature
and how much stuff is in the water.
Set it to one, three or six hours
by continuously tapping the mist button
as it changes between.
You'll see that with the light on.
Inside, I believe this little spot here
is the ultrasonic vibrating disc
that's going to produce the mist without any heat
because if you use heat,
you can actually affect the oils
and they don't want to do that.
I think this little ball bearing looking thing in here
is where the water's measured.
My guess is if it falls below that point,
that's when it shuts off automatically
'cause it sort of looks like this ledge here
is the minimum water level.
Once it falls below that, it will shut off.
And the line just inside the lid here,
I think that's the maximum water level.
You also would not want to place this on a soft surface
like a carpet
because then you would also clog up the air intake.
See what the lights can do.
Ooh, I see.
It's inside underneath the water
and then the glow of that will come out
through the sides here.
It's pretty funky.
And with the top of the diffuser on,
you get just that line.
I think you have to have the top on for this to work.
I kind of like seeing that.
I did read thought that if you're in a fairly dark room,
the mist coming out will be the color
of whatever LEDs are currently on inside the device.
There's a little picture included
calibrated to 120 milliliters.
So I guess if you're making an exact recipe of something,
you can use this.
I'm not.
I'm just going to pour water in above the minimum fill line
and then add a couple drops of this.
It says if you fill it all the way to add six drops.
So I'm thinking if I fill it towards the bottom,
a couple drops will do.
I'm gonna start with tangerine.
Are you supposed to shake this first?
I know nothing about how this normally works.
If it's pure oil, I don't think it'll settle out
'cause what's it gonna settle into?
And two, okay.
Just sort of floating on the top there,
slowly spreading around.
I guess it'll have some agitation
when I turn it on.
If not, I'll be agitated.
Okay, now, it's time for mist.
I want to put the top,
I know I'm supposed to put the top on
but I want to see what it does.
It's not gonna splash out, is it?
Whoa, it is.
It's like a little fountain in there.
Ooh, look at all the steam.
Boy, it's really going.
I can still hear splashing sounds
but can you see the steam coming out?
The color?
That is pretty cool.
When it gets a little darker,
I will turn off the lights in here
and we'll see if we can get some colored steam
going up in the room.
And I can adjust the mist to be continuous
or I can have it do 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off,
so it takes a break.
I guess that keeps the aromatherapy going on
but it doesn't use up the liquid quite as fast.
And as for the smell, it's nice.
It's like an open tangerine
but not like I opened a tangerine or the person next to me.
It's like somebody in the room is opening a tangerine.
It's kind of a light smell like that.
That's really nice.
For now, anyhow, this is really close to my face.
I'm gonna set it to do continuous mist
and then I will leave the room
and come back in about 10 minutes and see,
this is about a 10 foot by 11 foot room,
and see how much tangerine smell there is in here.
Okay, I'm back after 10 minutes
and smells a lot more like tangerine in here
but it's not overpowering
but if you definitely want to notice the smell,
it's good for that.
I assume at about 10 minutes,
this is the maximum saturation it's going to do.
Fortunately, it's a smell that I like.
Okay, I'm going to clean this water out
and then give it a try.
Maybe I'll open the door and the window a little
then give a try to jasmine.
Well, I dumped to the liquid that was in here,
rinsed it out with water a few times.
I'm kind of surprised,
it's like stained orange inside.
I guess that comes out with like vinegar or water,
whatever mix you use to clean this sort of thing out.
Also, still smells a lot like mandarin which is nice.
Mmm, that wasn't exactly the smell I was expecting.
I'm thinking more jasmine tea
but I guess it's like 100 times concentrated
smell of jasmine tea.
This is a flower.
It bears some resemblance to the jasmine tea
but it seems like there's something more to it than that.
I'll give jasmine 10 minutes
to fill up the room with fragrance
and see how it is.
(coughing)
Okay, 10 minutes of fragrance.
It's a whole different story
than 10 minutes of essential oils.
This is a bit much.
Okay, I'm learning as I go.
I will turn off the lights here.
It's gotten dark outside
and see what I can do
about getting some colorful mist going.
Okay, there's our colorful steam,
green changing to blue.
I can see this,
the room is pretty much completely dark,
I can see it about up to 10 inches
above the actual diffuser.
You can see there's the line we have
the UFO looking part of it.
So it's just a nice amount of light
I think to have shining up on the ceiling
to go to sleep with.
And then I shouldn't take the top off
but I just want to see what the color looks like
with this off.
Whoa, there we go.
They should make it so you can lift the top up.
Oh, I've got water splashing all over my hands now.
Because it just looks so cool.
Well, it's a pretty cool device.
I'm glad I had a chance to try it out.
Thanks again to Tenswall for sending it out to me.
Definitely like the essential oils
more than the fragrances.
Fragrances are just too fragrant for me
but the essential oil was not overpowering,
at least the tangerine.
I'll try some more
but I suspect things like eucalyptus
probably would be a little too strong for me.
And I guess I can always just use less.
Less of this and more water
should make for a more subtle scent.
