I had a diffuser once before, and I was in LOVE with it. Unfortunately, my roommate spilled water on the counter, which broke the fan in the device. The diffuser that I had before wasn't as powerful as I would have liked, so after a lot of research I decided on this one, and am SO GLAD I did.
Pros:
1. Long lasting
2. Effective
3. Color options
Cons:
1. Blue Light
As far as how long it lasts, this diffuser will last me throughout the day when I turn it on, and the water tank is full. I love to have a good smelling room, so having a diffuser that lasts long is important to me. I also like to use a sleep essential oil at bedtime, and it will last me through the night, which is perfect for an insomniac such as myself!
This diffuser is also very powerful and effective, much more than the one I had gotten earlier. The one I had before worked, but you would only notice the smell if you were out of the room, and then walked back into it. This one hits you right away, and remains strong for the entire time that it is on. It was able to make my large dorm room smell amazing almost instantly, and handles my bigger bedroom just as well.
I was nervous about the color options, because I prefer to have one solid color as opposed to a changing color pattern, and on the one before, you could press the button until you got the color you liked, and I knew this wasn't a feature on the ZAQ diffuser. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I prefer the setting on the ZAQ. Instead of clicking through a few different options, you simply turn on the changing color flow, and press the button on the gradient of the color you want--so many more possibilities! You can have a soft blue or a hard one, etc.
The only problem I have with this diffuser is the brightness of the power button. When I turn the light off for diffusing at night, the blue power button is so bright that it looks like there is a blue light still on, and if you need complete darkness to sleep, that may be an issue for you.
Overall, I highly recommend this product, and have actually convinced several of my friends to buy it already!

Sweet & relaxing. Worth it to me.
I did a lot of research before settling on this brand. It has a clean design. Came well packaged & arrived on time. Easy to operate & did come with easy to read instructions in English, with drawings for clarity. Mist is cool, no heat involved, unit also stays cool during operation on my counter. Does not leak when used as directed. Does not seem to leave any moisture on the counter, even running all day, but I'd probably put a waterproof placemat down if setting it on delicate wood furniture just in case. Comes with a small pour pitcher for filling. Be warned, the filling pitcher holds more than is recommended for the unit. 80ml (maximum fill) is marked on the side of it. I find the mark hard to see w\o my glasses so I just went over that measurement line with a black marker for easier filling for me. Easy to clean. I do follow the included instructions for cleaning. The cord attaching underneath the unit seems dumb if you're trying to plug or unplug it full of water, so you must keep it level when you do. I assume it's placed there to prevent shorting if water got spilled on the unit? It's only slightly annoying to me. Runs fairly quiet, some occasional soft bubbling sounds. Light changing mode is awesome. Slowly cycles through several colors or you can stop on a single color of choice. You can also run it without lights but to be fair it has a very soft dark blue glow anyway. The bigger issue is the brightness of the blue on\off indicator. It is very bright! I usually turn it away from me or put something in front of it to block the light. I haven't timed it but I'd say it runs about 4 hours from full (80ml). It does, in fact, shut off when empty. Scent distribution seems to have more to do with quality of your oils rather than the unit itself. Cheap oils can barely be smelled within 2 feet of the unit at 7 drops, while higher quality oils will cover a very large space with fewer drops. Overall a nice looking, small, functional unit that is easy to use and a pleasure to have. I find it very relaxing & comforting. I would have given it a 5 star if not for the bright on button and cord placement on the bottom. Aug 15 2019 Still working!! As long as I clean it as directed, I expect this to last even longer.
