Does it heat the oils- or just diffuse them?

It just diffuses them so that the vapor is cool and safe to touch. I love it and use it constantly! You only need 3-4 drops of oil and it lasts for a while. The led light is not as prominent as the add seems to imply but it still diffuses just fine!

Just diffuses them...it works so great and I love it! The scent goes throughout the room and it isn't overbearing.

It doesn't work, PERIOD. I had the company tell me THREE times they were sending me a new one. NOTHING ever came in.

Some, perhaps. The water is heated slightly, only a small portion, to create the steam/mist. The oil is mixed into the water. After an hour of continuous use, the water level barely drops.

I've never used one of these as a diffuser, only just for the original use which is to keep brown sugar fresh! What an idea though, how creative! Terra Cotta is porous so I'd imagine it would soak up the oil, but you would never be able to wash all that oil and aroma out of it to use it in food after that.

I have electric oil burners. On the bottom there is a glass globe with a light in it. On top sits a little dish that you put the oil in. As the oil heats up it releases the aroma. You can also buy burners where you put a tea light in the bottom to heat up the oil on top.

It gets hot but not hot enough to burn. I do not think it would be a good idea to be trying to move a pot of hot oil around even if the outside of the pot is cool.

yes, no question. Just let it burn for some hours after setting it up to burn off the oils used in manufacture. Just be careful. Regard the other posts -

No, it just puts out a fine water vapor mist, along with whatever oil you've added. I didn't like mine so I returned it. Neat little product, but the function just wasn't as dramatic as I was hoping for.

Nope, just pretty colored lights and it diffuses the essential oils. It's still awesome though!

Yes, it heats the oil at a very low temp. The only thing that gets hot is the silver plate in which the oil sits in.

There is a small removable reservoir where you put the oils. The water "wicks" up into the water. You don't add oil to the water. This diffuser was much larger than I anticipated and the separate container for the oil was a nuisance, plus it takes a lot of oil for not much scent. I prefer the smaller capacity diffuser for which you add oil directly to the water.

Get a diffuser for your oils. I wouldn't think adding it to the salt rocks would be good. Liqued melts the salt.

I use just the oil. If it is REALLY humid, I still get frizzy but it does help.

Have not tried this unit. Megahome makes another unit specially designed for essential oils. It has a lower heat.

Yes the diffusers do get pretty warm. Not warm enough to start anything on fire but I keep stuff away from them like curtains just to be safe. I do have other plugs plugged into the outlet above the diffusers and there will be a oily residue which is normal but no damage or anything to the cord.

It uses a lot oil very quickly. That is one of the reasons I chose to give it a negative review. I have found if I mix 1 part oil to 3 parts fractionated coconut oil it helps. This is not my favorite diffuser. Turning it to the low setting helps, but not much.

Neither , the oil is put on a paper type product. I use it with my oils as a room freshener. You don't have a mist, just the fan that sends the scent into the air. I got it because I felt that it was safer than your typical room freshener. It works really well.

Yes you can do that. It doesn't require more than a couple of drops of oil placed on the pad to provide a nice scent. This is a very economical way to diffuse essential oils in a small room.
