No, you can not put essential oil in the water, that will damage the machine. "Water (distilled water) only" shows on manual book.

I'm not an expert, but I would say that you could. A drop or two of Lavender oil (let it dry completely before use), might be a nice touch. However, I'm using mine - in part - to avoid scents, so have no need to add any.

I believe you can use absolutely any essential oil you choose, it's a really large well of water and I usually put about 10-12 drops of oil in, I tend to stick to lavender as the others leave a sticky residue over time but yes, lemon or citrus blends would work, sounds like you have some lovely combinations, all of these fragrances are ok to use in my opinion! Thanks!

Do not buy this to store essential oils in. They won't fit, you'd have to lay them sideways, adn the whole unit stunk of varnish/stain. I wish I wouldn't have bought it. You would be better off buying a box that was made for essential oils and store them in the fridge if possible. You could look at the Mountian Rose website or www.apothecary-shoppe.com) The unit looks nice on the shelf, but I haven't decided what to use it for. Best wishes.

I think you have to order it separately, and I also think there are other oils that can be used - I have a different model/brand (name escapes me at the moment) and the oils came with it.

I've never added oil to mine and it works fine ( I've had of for a few months ). But since it has mechanical moving parts, I'm assuming that it must need some type of librication. My advice to you is, it's really not necessary but if you chose to do it any way...Then why not.

I'm sure you could...I would. I got this for my boyfriend (we use it all the time, it's awesome) aand he has an essential oil lamp we already use every night. There are little pouches you can buy specifically for this product that have a variety of essential oils. But I would guess you could just drop a few drops in the actual tank and it would be fine. You just might want to clean it more often and in between scents (obvi).

I would advise against adding anything but clear water. If you want the aroma of essential oils, you could use an old-fashioned steam vaporizer with a heated Vicks Vapo-Rub/mentholatum chamber. (I have sprayed a little water-soluble Febreze into one of the units as an experiment, but Febreze kinda stinks too much.) As my units have aged, they have become more temperamental, needing more frequent cleanings. I have also needed to get replacement pumps from the mfg. These were provided free by mail, since the units all had under a year of use.

Yes, I use everything from essential oils to regular scented oils. It works great.

Yes, you can. If you want to add a few drops of carrier oil such as mineral oil, almond oil or another carrier oil.

Hi Jennifer I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use the essential oil. You just have to use it sparingly.

Yes, you need to add water to the fill line and then add about 3-4 drops of your favorite essential oil. Adjust the drops of oil up or down to your liking.

Yes, it can be used without essential oils. The more you use the oils the faster it needs to be cleaned. It is easy to clean and Smiley Daisey will send you an email explaining how to clean it. I have been very happy with mine!!!

No. You can only use pure essential oil. The chemical constituent in the regular perfume will damage the vibrational device.

Yes, just add oils to the water. Have had this for several months and really like it.

Sure you can. But make sure you store it in a cool dark and dry place. Essential oils, if properly stored, can last 1-2 years. However, if you are buying adulterated essential oils that are extended with a vegetable oil; these will become rancid faster and will not last for long; in addition to losing their therapeutic values.
