can I use citrus oils in this diffuser?

The citrus oils will leach petrochemicals out of the plastic. You will then be diffusing them into the air you breathe.

I don't see why not I have used lavender essential oil and am currently using oil of thieves in mine, just be sure to fill with water to the line and then how ever many drops of oil you wish without being overpowering

Yes, one of the recipes on the instruction booklet has lemon oil in it ...it is very refreshing....enjoy

The instruction of this particular item explicitly states "do not use lemon or citronella oils" as they may corrode the membrane

Yes, you can use whatever essential oils you like, citrus or otherwise. Just be sure to clean the diffuser regularly to keep the disc clean. If you allow a build up to form on the disc, it will not be able to produce any mist. Any essential oils can be corrosive if left to build up, not just citrus oils.

I probably would not, as it says on the label, not for human consumption. I would by oils specifically for diffusers, you might look at doTerra. Amazon has those...

The base of the diffuser is filled with water and then you can put a couple drops of any essential oil into the water. I have used peppermint, lavender, lemon and mandarin orange essential oils in mine. I just empty and wipe out the base between different oils; refill the water and drop in a couple drops of the new oil.

It is not a good idea to put essential oils into something plastic like this. It will slowly degrade the plastic. You would want a diffuser, not a humidifier.

I don't know what the manufacturer says but I use lemon and all sorts of oils in it without any issues. So, I would say yes :)

Yes, these essential oils work great in a diffuser. I add approximately 8 to 10 drops to water in my diffuser and it creates a wonderful aroma! :o)

You can only use pure 100% plant oil in these or you will gum up the diffuser that's why is shutting off on you ???use doterra oils

I would NOT dilute your essential oil with water while using this diffuser. I'm fairly certain that it would be a mess and would most likely damage the diffuser. If you want the hydrating mist with the essential oil I would buy a diffuser that operates that way. Diluting with non scented oil might work. I would make sure that you mix it well before attaching it to the diffuser. Regarding the white noise....I'd say it depends on what the diffuser is sitting on. If it's a hard surface, obviously it's going to be louder. If you set it on something soft, about the thickness of a potholder or placemat, it's going to be considerably less. It also depends on how high you turn up the knob that controls the flow of oil. The higher you turn it up, the pump makes more sound accordingly.

Mine did not come with a diffuser. I've been looking for one that will fit, so I don't know the answer.

No. This diffuser just lightly diffuses moisture into the air...perfect foressential oils...If you need more moisture, it is better to do so with a humidifier! Hope this helps you!

Yes. I've used all kinds of citrus oils in this diffuser as well as my larger one with no harm to the plastic inside. As long as you don't leave it sit in there for weeks, you should be fine. (I even forgot to empty it once after using Bergamot, which is very strong, and it sat for 2 days and still no damage.)

Most definitely! Add more water for a more subtle home fragrance, or less water to make it stronger! A little oil goes a long way! Make sure your oil lamp/heater/diffuser has enough water in it so it doesn't dry out.

Yes, I believe so. I have not found a diffuser that is not really expensive so I don't have one myself. I just put it in a candle or sniff it from the bottle. Some are strong enough that you can just open the bottle and leave it sitting on the table and (if you aren't too far away) you can smell it. The website can give you more information: http://planttherapy.com/index.php?main_page=page&id;=2 Hope this helps!

Yes you can. Used for cuts ,colds and for lots of other medicinal purposes. Info should be printed on the label in fine print.Can be mixed with on Guard oil .Just 1 drop of oil of each oil added to the diffuser.

My understanding with diffusers being plastic and diffusing citrus oils is that it is okay. The plastic is a harder plastic and doesn't deteriorate like it would with other plastics. Even the doTERRA diffusers have a plastic interior.

I have an essential oil diffuser (a nebulizing diffuser) I use. I don't know if you are referring to reed diffusers though, or electric diffusers. I know you can make a mixture with essential oils that you can use with reed diffusers, I am just not sure of the recipe. It would be easy to google. Normally reed diffusers are used with the cheaper, dilluted, scented oils. You can also add a little water to a few drops of oil, put it into a tealight candle oil warmer and warm/diffuse the oils that way. The plant therapy site has a wonderful blog that can give you all sorts of tips on how to use their oils. I have an essential oil diffuser (a nebulizing diffuser) I use.
