Supplied with the unit, a manual and a small measuring cup. Fragrance oils are not included in the package. The packaging makes a good impression, so that the device is suitable in any case as a gift. Unfortunately, the manual does not exist in German. Since the manual but is also represented imaged, the operation should not be a problem.
Visually, the device looks very appealing. It's diameter is only about 14cm wide and 10cm high. Everything is well made.
The Aukey Aroma Diffuser can turn up in the middle. Inside sits a plastic cover which is lifted. Below sits the bowl for the water. Here the water is filled. Optionally, can add a few drops of fragrance oil. The manual states that max. 160ml water can be filled. The supplied measuring cup holds only 110ml. In the reality can be as 120-130ml fill, because then the maximum height is already exceeded. It's easier to run with the device to the tap, instead of two start running times with the measuring cup.
When the water is filled, the plug is plugged into the socket. About two buttons on the back the device is operated. One button is the on / off switch. With the second button, the colors can be adjusted. In addition to 7 different colors can also set a mode in which the color changes automatically. The play of colors can be turned off as well.
The device immediately begins evaporating. Waiting times there are none. The water vapor is visible, is ejected upward from the opening and is quantitatively definitely perfect. It does not come to much, nor too little steam. Essential oils were mixed, the whole room smells within a short time afterwards.
It is advisable in any case to use only a few drops of scented oil! That will do just fine, otherwise it will be too intense and unpleasant. I have collected the best experience with essential oils. In quiet moments that actually has a calming effect. Even normal fragrance oils are suitable. I've tried it with bath oils! Works fine and smells totally enjoyable.
The diffuser switches off automatically when the water has completely evaporated. However, it takes a few hours.
Distilled water I do not use, only our tap water, which is even very hard. The unit has been working many hours of work properly.
Negatives? Yes. Unfortunately, the device operates by no means as quiet as advertised. It is a constant Betriebsgeräuch available. Especially when it's quiet in the room, or standing next to a diffuser, the annoying. Furthermore, I do not understand the logic of why the device in 5 minute intervals the steam switches off automatically for 30 seconds. This is also so in the instructions, but also annoying. At that moment you will be taken back to exactly the Betriebsgeräuch aufmersam what you actually almost forgotten in the course of operation. Furthermore, the projector will turn up a little stiff.
Conclusion: The aroma Diffusser I do not want to miss. The device is not only nice to look at, but brings me if necessary a great scent into the house. Soon will start the Christmas season and the Christmas scents I am already looking forward. Unfortunately, the device is operating louder than expected and can be filled, so a star deduction somewhat complicated. Otherwise a really great part!
