I have gotten a whole bunch of cool mist essential oil diffusers to review on Amazon. Pretty much all of them have worked about the same. The only things to really pay attention to if you read reviews:
(1) Can you run it with the light off? Because you may not want a light show if you are trying to sleep in the same room with it.
(2) Capacity of the water reservoir. How long are you planning to run it and at what rate? If something has a large reservoir it may work overnight. With a smaller reservoir, it may only work for an hour or two (fine for meditation or yoga).
I’d opt for one that plugs into the wall (instead of USB) and that does not play music (I have yet to encounter a music one that actually played good music, as opposed to a 5-second repeat loop of sound).
Or you can go for something even more basic. I have an ancient (haha, from my college days) diffuser that is heated by tea light. Water and a few drops of oil in the top and it’ll last as long as the tea light (but will probably need periodic refilling). Depends on whether or not you want an unattended flame.
