Why This Diffuser Is a Good Buy
We love this diffuser because it offers the core features you want in a nebulizer diffuser done extremely well, and the quality of materials and construction is unmatched.
Cool Vapor Output
This versatile unit produces a heat-free cool mist with no water used. The cool vapor output means no heat is produced, which can often have damaging or degrading effects on pure essential oils.
The adjustability of the vapor is a great feature. Not only can you adjust the vapor levels from low, medium, to high, but the direction of the flow can be adjusted too.
Atomized oils can be diffused up to a 30′ x 30′ area around the diffuser, which is on the longer side of most diffuser ranges.
Timer Functionality
This diffuser has an automatic shut off feature you can set for different lengths of time, and an intermittent 10 minutes on/10 minutes off feature so you can space the diffusing out over a longer period of time.
The diffuser can be set to run 1, 4, 8, or 12-hours of 10-minutes on and 10-minutes off so that you can set it and forget it, or else can be set to run for up to 12-hours continually before it will automatically shut off.
Quality Construction and Long Product Life
The materials used in this diffuser, a hand-blown glass top and a Beechwood base are of extremely high quality, and the construction is very solid. There are no plastics used in the diffuser and no BPAs (toxins), which means this product should have a very long lifespan and the atomizing of the essential oils should be clean and pure. The base of the unit is covered entirely in a non-slip rubber so that the unit will stay solidly wherever it’s placed. The ArOmis Orbis Nox Merus is made in the USA in Boulder, Colorado.
The dimensions are 11-inches tall x 7-inches wide at the base and the diffuser weighs about one pound.
ArOmis (unlike most diffuser makers) provides replacement parts for their diffusers past the 1-year Warranty.
Things Other Diffusers do Better
While this is one of our favorite nebulizer diffusers for the reasons above, there are some things other nebulizer diffusers do better, and things other types of diffusers do better.
More Steady Intermittent Timing Feature
One thing that other diffusers do well is offer a 2 min on, 1 min off feature which we find keeps a more steady atmosphere than the intermittent 10 minutes on/10 minutes off timer functionality of the ArOmis Orbis Nox Merus. Some diffusers we recommend that offer this 2min on, 1 min off timing feature are:
Lighting Features
While most nebulizer diffusers don’t feature lights, some do. If you’re looking for a nebulizer diffuser with good lighting options, we recommend:
Cleaning and Storage
Clean with simple rubbing alcohol. Wipe down surfaces, and let dry.
