A Waterless Diffuser Comparison

If you're anything like me, then you probably love to make your home as relaxing as possible..

 

Scent has this magical ability to help to unwind and properly relax when you need it most. So that begs the question: what's the best diffuser to help you achieve this?

 

Well, I'll be comparing the two most popular waterless diffusers in the below article, helping you decide which is right for you. 

 

Below is a quick summary graph - but I encourage to read the rest of the article to really understand how these two devices - and companies - differ.

 

Pricing

There's quite a big price tag between the two, with one starting at Β£69, and the Scandiscents diffuser available as low as Β£36. 

 

Plus, you'll want at least one oil with your diffuser, right? With one brand, that's currently listed Β£79 for the diffuser plus one oil.

 

For the same price, that would get you the diffuser and over 5 oils with Scandiscents - giving you many more options for setting the mood at home for the same price - if not less.

 

Essential oils need to be expensive to be quality

 

There has been decades worth of marketing efforts to sell the idea that essential oils are only good, or pure, if they're expensive (thank you multi-level marketing schemes). 

 

But the truth is, all of Scandiscents oils come from some of the highest quality growers in the world. Premium doesn't always need the expensive price tag. And don't let an expensive price tag fool you into thinking it's premium.


And as for the diffuser, well,  Scandiscents saves a lot of money by being a small family-owned business. No big offices, or warehouses, board member salaries or multi-national marketing campaigns to pay for. Just good quality products and materials, with a simple direct to consumer marketing approach. That's a big reason why it's the highest selling waterless diffuser in the UK for the past 2 years.

 

Quality over Quantity

One of these brands only has 14 available oils at the time of writing this.

 

Scandiscents has over 50 currently available, and for over half the price.

 

Does higher quantity mean lower quality? Well, not exactly... 

 

Scandiscents is focused on one thing only: the halo diffuser and its oils. Whereas the other brand has a range of bath bombs, creams, lotions etc. Jack of all trades. Master of none, perhaps? 

 

Scandiscents has a more narrow focus - to make the best waterless diffuser and accompanying oils. So in this case, less actually is more. 

What matters, to you?

The question really comes down to, what are you looking for when purchasing a new diffuser?

 

An effortless way to scent your home? Both do that.

 

Plenty of quality and incredible smelling oils? Scandiscents has more options.

 

Price? Scandiscents wins out big time.

 

Warranty / Guarantees? Scandiscents offers a 12-month warranty, plus a 30-day money back guarantee.

 

One thing that might help you decide is looking at some reviews:

Amazing

My halo diffuser makes me happy , makes my home smell lovely as it’s portable you can use it in any room. Whatever I have used in my home previously, ie plug ins, stick diffusers my husband says they smells like a toilet air freshener but with my halo diffuser the smell is so much nicer, (he made a comment that it doesn’t smell like a toilet air freshener now ) I’m using the fresh linen fragrance oil. I like the fact that there is different settings to choose from and that the fragrance isn’t wasted while I’m at work all day.
My daughter first found the website and wanted one for her birthday so I brought hers first and I liked the look of it as it looks very slick and modern in her all and mine looks the same in my front room, we both have the white one.
I have had a water diffuser before but didn’t get on with it as I found it a faff but because this one just uses fragrance oil it’s easy , I think you do get quite a few days change , I’ve only charge mine once so far but then I don’t use it every day.

Happy Customer

This product feels great and the smell is incredibly strong. I live in a three-bedroom apartment and I can smell it throughout. I’d definitely recommend it to others and I’m already looking forward to trying the other scents. Overall, it’s a great product.

Got to love my Halo Diffuser

I’ve been using the Halo diffuser daily and it has become a genuinely integral part of my evening routine. I specifically chose it because it’s a waterless, nebulising diffuser, which gives a clean, effective scent without humidity, mist, or constant refilling.

 

What I really appreciate is:
β€’ The simple, elegant design – it looks good in a bedroom, not clinical or gadgety
β€’ Strong but controllable scent output – a little oil goes a long way
β€’ Quiet operation, which matters enormously at bedtime
β€’ The flexibility to swap oils easily (and now tubes too, which is a big plus)

 

It’s particularly good for creating a consistent sleep cue – lavender in the evening is noticeably more effective with the Halo than with ultrasonic diffusers I’ve used previously.

 

Solid build, easy to use, and thoughtfully designed. Highly recommended if you want a diffuser that actually does what it says without fuss.
