Can the aroma diffuser be used as a humidifier? Which is better?
Nowadays, people spend most of their time indoors. In air-conditioned rooms, indoor bacteria increase and humidity decreases. More and more household appliances to improve the indoor environment have become popular. Humidifiers and aroma diffusers are one of the two. But humidifiers and aroma diffusers are often confused by people. Because the aroma diffuser also has the function of humidification, which of these two products is better in comparison? The following will compare their functions, materials, structure, spray volume, technical principles, maintenance methods and other aspects.
One, look at the function
Aromatherapy machine: Ultrasonic aromatherapy machine is specially designed for essential oil users. Pure plant essential oil and purified water can be added to the cavity. After adding essential oils, it can not only increase air humidity, but also emit aromatherapy molecules. Depending on the composition of the essential oil, it can play different roles.
Humidifier: The main function of the humidifier is to humidify, and only clean water can be added, and some product structures have limitations in water quality requirements due to water level design issues.
Second, look at the material
Aroma Diffuser: Since most of the pure plant essential oils are acidic, they tend to be corrosive to ordinary plastic containers. Therefore, most of the aroma diffusers are made of PP. The chips, wafer spoons, and atomizers of the aroma diffusers are specially developed for essential oils, which are resistant to oil, water, and chemical corrosion. Therefore, putting the essential oil in the aromatherapy machine can more thoroughly use every drop of aromatherapy essence, and very quickly distribute the extremely delicate aromatherapy molecules to every corner. It can be used safely and securely.
Humidifier: Ordinary humidifiers use ABS or AS plastic materials as the water tank. The main use medium is water, which is not resistant to the corrosion of essential oils. Long-term use will cause the water tank to be corroded and cause rupture. It may also produce toxic gases released into the air. Healthy body.
Three, look at the structure
Aroma diffuser: The essential oil aroma diffuser is specially designed for essential oil users. The development of each product adheres to a user-friendly and user-friendly interface, and users have a good experience in the use/cleaning and maintenance of the product, especially the water cavity structure The design is simple, which greatly facilitates the user's cleaning and maintenance; the slim water tank capacity design keeps the fragrance mist concentration uniform from beginning to end.
Humidifiers: basically all humidifiers have a water supply tank design. The internal design of the water cavity is complicated. After long-term use, it is easy to produce scale and difficult to clean.
Fourth, look at the amount of spray
Aroma diffuser: The aroma diffuser uses an advanced atomization module, an international patented air duct design, and a stable volume control circuit setting, so that each aroma diffuser can produce a consistent and lightly light fragrance mist. Ensure that the fragrance mist particles are fine and uniform, staying in the air for a long time, so that the body can absorb each essential oil molecule better and more fully.
Humidifier: The main function of the humidifier is humidification. It usually uses an atomizer with a diameter of 20-25mm. The particles produced are large and heavy, the amount of fog is thick, and the water mist particles stay in the air for a short time. Elegance is not far away.
Five, the atomization technology is different
Humidifier: The ultrasonic vibration power of the humidifier is not enough to complete the decomposition and release of the essential oils. It is possible that some essential oils are stored on the wall of the water tank, and the essential oils are wasted.
Aroma diffuser: The ultrasonic vibration technology adopted by the aroma diffuser can atomize water molecules to nanometer level, which can effectively diffuse the essential oils into the air, allowing us to bathe in the fragrant air.
Six, look at the maintenance method
Humidifier: Because the material of ordinary humidifier is relatively general, it is easy to produce dirt after use, and it is difficult to clean it with cleaning fluid. The atomization chip may also block aging.
Aroma diffuser: The water tank of the aroma diffuser has been treated with a special process, making it easy to use and clean.
to sum up
In summary, it can be considered that the essential oil aroma diffuser is more practical than the humidifier. This practicality is reflected in the following points:
1. The essential oil aroma diffuser has more functions, which can purify the air and comfort and nourish the skin through aromatherapy molecules. The effects of various essential oils are also different. For example, rosemary can relieve fatigue, mountain lemon can whiten oil and control oil, geranium can prevent colds and so on. In addition, it can also be used as a night light.
2. The power of the essential oil aroma diffuser is smaller, which can save electricity bills. In fact, compared with humidifiers, aroma diffusers have a larger applicable area under the same capacity. And the power is smaller, so you don't have to worry about electricity bills for all-day use.
3. The essential oil aroma diffuser is smaller and easy to carry. In case of business trips, tourism, etc., it is unrealistic to take the humidifier out. However, the aroma diffuser is relatively small and can be easily put in a suitcase or travel bag.
