I no longer have my instructions. Can citrus oils be used in this unit? Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I'm honestly not sure, because I bought this as a gift for family members. However I've looked it up online & it looks like other models by this company say not to use citrus oils in them, thus my suggestion is to stay on the safe side and not use them.

Technically citrus oils can break down the plastic, but I use them (just not daily). Also, the company that shipped mine through Amazon included a small jar of orange essential oil.

I use citrus oils in mine all the time and it hasn't harmed it at all. I love this diffuser!

I suppose for a short time you woul probably be fine. But it isn't the correct material for use with citrus oils. Directions don't say..

I am not the manufacturer and I really do not care what oil is used. If you need the information so desperately contact the manufacture directly and ask, instead of using us to do the work for you. Thank you.

From what I've read, most essential oils are viable for decades. I believe citrus oils go bad the fastest. I wouldn't worry about this spoiling unless you mix it with a carrier oil that might get old.

I don't know. I wouldn't think so, just because it has a very pungent scent, but i guess it would depend on what your cutting. If using with another citrus oil, it would probably work.

Use any essential, depending on what you are using mister for, IE: lavender oil is great for massages or meditating, orange oil is great for entertaining. Oil is dropped into water reservoir. It's really a great item

Hi Sarah, Citrus oils can be used under the following conditions: - The inside of the unit (especially the diffuser disc, and around it) are cleaned up shortly after usage with a mild soap & water solution within 24 hours. - Otherwise, if you'd like to use citrus oils frequently, we highly suggest using it as blended with other types of oils. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to helping you! Best Regards, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder

Yes, I added orange oil. Smells great. But the oil is clogging up the filter...so I am not getting as much steam. I switched to a clean filter and its working fine again...so I guess I wouldn't recommend adding oil because it effects the output of steam. :)

I just checked ZAQ's FAQs - it says: Yes, all of our diffusers are compatible with citrus and other essential oils, blends and fragrances. However, please note that any oils marked as incompatible with diffusers are incompatible with our diffusers. Please clean the water reservoir frequently to remove any oil residue and maximize the lifespan of your diffuser.

Yes. I use NOW brand Cheer Up Buttercup essential oil blend (which is mostly made up of citrus oils) in mine. No issues. I'm about to order another one right now. I love this item.

I'm using my oil in a diffuser. The directions didn't say you couldn't do it -- so I did. Smells good.

I use essential oils in my unit and it works fine. It is a small unit, so just a drop or two of oil is all you need. I use the unit next to my desk - to humidify the local area and be sure to clean as per the instructions after each use.

It says no in the instructions, but I have been using some oils that do have a little bit of citrus in them. But no single, citrus only oils. Just be sure to always rinse and wipe the inside after every use.

As far as my experience, I have used several different oils...lavender, lemon, Thieves, etc. with great results.

I'm not real sure. I'm new to essential oils. It's more my wife's dept. I just wanted an orange blossom.

I have not tried that, but can tell you this baby has a LOT of power. Is awesome for citrus- love it!

I haven't read anything about citrus oils at all so I wouldn't be able to answer that but I can tell you I've had this for a year now and it still works great.

You can bit citrus and other flavors will break down the parts. You will find yourself replacing parts quite often. It will easily handle the viscosity though.
