Is this a humidifier? I received this and it clearly is positioned as a aroma diffuser, no where does it state it is a humidfier other in the headline. Update: Answered my own question, tried it out. It is has a pretty impressive vapour/mist, so...

I bought this item with the purpose of using it as both a humidifier and an essential oil diffuser. I think that this unit works amazingly as an oil diffuser. (It also lets out a good bit of mist as a humidifier, just not quite as much as a humio unit would). Overall, I am very happy with the purchase!

It is a cool mist humidifier. I have had one for a year now and would not buy another one. It is very large, very noisy and does not have a great system for refilling the water.

I use mine in a large open room and it works well as a diffuser. As a humidifier, I would recommend a smaller room.

Jennifer, you're right. I looked on mine and it doesn't say Aura Cacia on the room diffuser itself, but it did come in an Aura Cacia box. Interesting. I never looked on the diffuser for its name. So I'm not sure if it really is.

I love this for adding scents into the air. Sorry but, no, I would not use this to add humidity. It uses a small, maybe 2 oz of water and runs about an hour. I would use another appliance if I needed humidity.

I never saw any mist come out but I did smell the vapor. Like some of the others have mentioned this doesn't serve he purpose of neither a dehumidifier or an air cleaner...it probably puts out maybe 2 tablespoons of water per day. To answer your question, unfortunately I would probably have to say yes it's normal.

I agree with Brandi. This diffuser emits a very small stream of mist concentrated with essential oil(s) of your choice!! I have 2 of these and can't imagine using essentials without them:). Enjoy!!

No mist just air and it comes out the lower front. This is a could humidifier not a warm, so there is no mist.

I do not know what the difference is...what I will say is that you do not see mist coming out of it when its on. I'd say this humidifier is worth around $30....I think this is no better than cheaper ones that you can get for $20..in fact I will sell you mine for $20+shipping

Although I know it can be put in a diffuser, even a cotton ball & put in your AV/heat vent to purify air, I'm not sure about putting it in a humidifier.

I live in Southern California and it's super dry all the time. When I use this humidifier, it will run almost continuously, rarely kicking off. I don't think it's broken. I think it's doing its job of pumping moisture into extremely dry air. I know the air feels better and my husband and I feel better when I keep it running. So I think it's doing what it's supposed to do. However, you can certainly call customer service for Vornado and ask them too! Hope that helps.

There is a light mist that comes from this diffuser but I would not classify it as anywhere near the amount of moisture that you would get from a humidifier.

Since this system generates a fine vapor mist, one might argue that humidity is added into the surrounding air. However, it would be very limited, and would depend on the area of the room served by the diffuser. Also, humidifiers move very large volumes of liquid into the air so I would not purchase this item to be used for that purpose as it's effects would probably be small. You could always experiment by purchasing an inexpensive hygrometer to measure ambient water vapor content in your room both before and after using the device as a humidifier. The room would have to be very small for it to be possible though, if at all. Since this system generates a fine vapor mist, one might argue that humidity is added into the surrounding air.

Yes and Yes! I love this humidifier and use it in my bedroom. You may notice a slight hissing but that's too be expected with a warm mist humidifier. I find it to be rather soothing too. It's also sleek and isn't an eyesore. I shopped around quite sometime before settling on this one and I'm glad I did.

Yes, it definitely is. I would say it is much more quiet than a humidifier. It has a very quiet water sound from the vaporizer. It is easy to have in a bedroom while sleeping.

So sorry to say, it does NOT. It's a fabulous diffuser, but not strong enought to emit a true humidifying effect.

Hi Christina, Deneve here. Our essential oil diffuser can be used to emit mist, with the light band turned completely off. It can still provide fragrance in your room, and keep your room pitch black, if you'd like. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to helping you! And have a great weekend. Best Regards, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder
