URPOWER ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER - Product Review

Save to Pinterest

Update (2026): This diffuser remains one of the most-read product reviews on my blog. Although I originally wrote this review nearly a decade ago, I still use essential oil diffusers in my home today. This review reflects my personal experience with the product and why I originally chose it over more expensive alternatives.

Why I Bought This Diffuser

At the time, I was looking for an affordable diffuser after my previous premium diffuser stopped working. I wanted something simple, reliable, and inexpensive enough that replacing it wouldn't be a major expense. After reading customer reviews and comparing several options, I decided to try the Urpower diffuser.

5***** Star Review of the Urpower Essential Oil Diffuser. ALL of my reviews are based on products that I have personally purchased, used, and would recommend!

Back in September 2015, I was searching for an affordable diffuser as my $130 doTERRA essential oil diffuser broke after a mere 2 months! I was on the market for something budget, and worked! Based on the Amazon reviews, I purchased the Urpower ---- was so pleased with the results, I bought ANOTHER ONE, this time settling for the Urpower 2nd Edition.

Technically, I am reviewing the 2nd edition version of the Urpower Essential Oil diffuser. However - both diffusers are going strong after 10 months, and filling our home with the scents of 100% essential oils. As for the difference on the versions, the newer one has options to diffuse continuously, or timed intervals, as well as the option to increase the light.

With 7 colored interchanging LED lights, the diffuser is not only attractive in the home, but can also be used as a night light.

The biggest bonus of all is the HEALTH benefits, not to mention, the support of my husband who approves and continuously remarks how wonderful the home smells. (With 3 dogs in the home, that's saying a lot!) In the past when I would burn the Yankee Candles and other supermarket brands, he would complain of a headache. At the time, I didn't realize the harm I was doing to the home with burning paraffin wax and lead wicks.

Now with the diffuser, I am using 100% essential oils, with the benefits of a cool mist humidifier.

Some of my family favorites are diffusing 3-5 drops of:

Lavender - (comfort, wellbeing)

Eucalyptus/Lavender - (a fresh scent many people enjoy during seasonal weather changes)

Lemon - (for that deep cleaning, energizing scent)

Wild Orange/Cinnamon - (Warm home, energy)

Peppermint/Lavender - (one of my favorite combinations for creating a refreshing atmosphere)

~ Favorite Market Blends for scenting the home ~

Tranquility, by Aura Cacia

Whisper, by Doterra

My favorite is the Tranquility blend which consists of these oils:

Lavender
Balsam

Patchouli

Palmarosa

Geranium

Roman Chamomile

Just this morning, my husband remarked again that he loved this scent!

The Urpower diffuser comes with the cord, measuring cup, and a booklet on how to care for the diffuser.  I personally use tap water and have not cleaned my diffuser yet. I run my diffuser practically 24 hours a day.  This is a lot of wear and tear for going on 10 months! The only "con" that I have experienced is that the top/lid of the diffuser has become more difficult to twist on/off to refill, but it's a minor inconvenience, and sometimes, I don't even bother to firmly attach top. But will fill with water, drop the oils and gently rest lid back on. 

Pros

• Affordable compared to many premium diffusers
• Attractive LED lighting
• Easy to use
• Quiet operation
• Long lifespan in my experience

Cons

• Lid can become difficult to remove over time
• Requires occasional cleaning
• Smaller water capacity than some larger units
