After a LOT of research, I landed on this guy.
I Like:
1. the colors change automatically or I can stop it on one color (or its dim counterpart)
2. it runs a long time
3. it takes tap water
4. the scent really does last the whole time
5. it has a timer
6. no warnings about citrus scents, go nuts!
7. the one-year warranty
8. it REALLY does purify the air (even when there's barely any essential oil in it)
9. it puts out a LOT of stream but it doesn't get anything wet
10. it doesn't use much in the way of essential oils, a little goes a LONG way
What I don't like:
1. sometimes the lid sticks and it's hard to get off
2. even on dim, it's still pretty damn bright
3. the controls are on the BACK of the unit if the spout is in front, likely to keep the essential oils away from the markings so they don't rub off but still annoying
4. the measuring cup that comes with it isn't even half what it holds
5. to turn the diffuser on, you press a button for a second- but to turn the light on, you have to hold a different button down for a few seconds, or vice-versa, I don't know, it's a pain to keep it straight so half the time I think it's not working bc I held the button too long or not long enough
6. the large capacity is both a blessing and a curse; you're stuck with the same scent unless you empty it (I use a jar) and refill to add new scent
7. You can't dim the light AND keep it changing colors, if you want to dim it, you must pick just one color
8. the scent doesn't really fill the room unless you use the recommended amount (which is only 4-5 drops when filled to max capacity and technically, I suppose is a good thing) but then it's so strong you can't sit next to it,
9. the timer only has one hour, three hours, and six hours, or you can just leave it on till it runs out
Don't get me wrong, I love it and use it EVERY day, I just wanted to give you the pros and cons. Others like this may seem the same but they either don't change colors (that's probably one of my favorite features, it's absolutely MESMERIZING!) or they ship from China and only have a 30-day return window. I researched essential oil diffusers for DAYS before I chose one, even so far as making out a chart comparing brands and models with the features I wanted. Some only had 4 colors, some didn't have timers, some didn't have dimmers, some weren't air purifiers/ionic, some used heat (which degrades the oil and destroys the benefits of inhaling them), and some still had a glow even when the light was off (this one has a very tiny, subtle "power" light, if that keeps you up, god help ya! but it was important to me that it be practically invisible when I'm trying to sleep). ALL required more oil per ounce of water than this one and there were many complaints that the scent ran out before the water did, which is just sad when several only ran up to 4-6 hours.
I honestly can't attest to the run time for one tank on this guy bc, as I mentioned, I don't WANT the same scent all day, every day so I usually only fill it halfway or less. I imagine that if one were to fill it to full capacity, and run it 2-3 hours a day, that in several days the oils would dissipate on their own while the unit was not even in use. But I CAN say, with absolute certainty, if you fill it to full capacity and only use the directed amount of essential oils (depending, of course, on the integrity of the oils you buy, and the scent strength of each), you WILL smell it until it runs dry if you run it straight through or within 24 hours. (I get the cheapo Eden's Garden but I don't take them internally and they smell wonderful.)
I also use this just for its light when I'm out on my balcony late at night for a nice ambiance light (set on yellow so I don't attract bugs, not that I know that helps but it seems to). Oh, and one more reason I chose this one, I read the comments/questions on another diffuser practically identical to this one and the owner was SO rude I refused to order from him. Someone asked a question and instead of answering it, he told them to refer to the manual! How can you do that BEFORE you order it? That info wasn't posted, there was practically nothing posted about it at all. By the way, it was one that shipped from China that so many other complaints said he was difficult and gave them the run-around before requiring a $34 return shipping charge! I read in the Amazon rules that they require either an American return address or free return shipping so I don't know if they changed it or if he just refuses to comply but I wasn't taking any chances!
I know I'm long-winded but I hope this helps. I pored over hundreds, maybe even thousands of reviews on different diffusers, because I like to get many opinions on each aspect of an item before I make a decision. Unfortunately, most reviewers only touch on a topic or two and you don't see another opinion about it for several pages, if ever. This way, you have one opinion on many aspects of the product in one review.
UPDATE: I bought another of these and use them every day now. I've had this one for 10 months now and he runs perfectly, they both do. I think the lid was sticking because even though I cleaned the diffuser every couple of uses, I wasn't cleaning the lid (I just spray it with water and wipe clean with a paper towel). Since I've started doing that (and had it for a while now) it's really loosened up and never gives me any trouble any more. I've also solved the problem of having the markings on the back- I made a mark with a marker on the front to line up the lid and bottom without having to see the back. I've also finally figured out which button to push and for how long to get it to do what I want, it just took some time to get used to. Highly recommend, will definitely be buying more of these!

Simple and Beautiful
This diffuser comes in beautiful packaging - a sturdy cardboard box with a beautiful green and white modern pattern on it. The instruction sheet that comes with the diffuser is simple to understand. The diffuser was very easy to use and no need for batteries; I just plugged it in, filled it with water, and turned it on. It has a sleek white design that I felt was elegant. It came with a little pitcher that you could use to fill the diffuser with water so there were no spills or messes. It takes 4 to 5 drops of essential oils, and the diffuser did a great job of lightly scenting the room. The mist that comes out is very fine and omnidirectional so the mist and scent goes in the direction you want it to. It has a timer so you can run the diffuser only for the desired time. The best part of the diffuser (for me and my eight year old daughter both!) is the light. You can control the lighting and colors yourself or allow the diffuser to gradually change the colors for you. The colors were really beautiful - our favorite was an ombre purple, but you can't go wrong with any of the colors (nothing garish here). The machine worked very well and ran quietly. It even comes with a one-year warranty. Although I used this diffuser myself, I think it would make a really wonderful gift.

I really liked the diffuser. I liked the design of it and I love the amount of mist that comes out. There is enough to feel the mist, but not enough to get everything around the diffuser wet. The cool mist will be great for the dryer months when you need a little extra moisture in the air. It had a good sized water reservoir. I like a larger reservoir because I always forget to refill it, but I thought this lasted a good amount of time. I also loved the timer option. I like that I can just turn it on for a short time to freshen up a room. The light option is also great. It's a great feature for my infant's room so I don't have to also have a nightlight. The colors are soft, calming, and not too bright. I also like that I can turn the light on or off and its a separate feature from the diffuser. The design is modern, however I think it could fit in with most decor. I think the price is right on target with the comparable brands. I will definitely recommend this to any friends in the market for a great, affordable option.
