This is our second diffuser. We have this one by Vitruvi, and we also own one manufactured by Young Living, which you can find here: Young Living Essential Oil Home Ultrasonic Diffuser with Dew Drop Design Tear Drop. This review will be a comparison between the two. We use them both almost daily.
First and most important, they both function very well as aroma diffusers. They each perform this function by ultrasonic technology (not heating), and they both have an automatic shut-off once they go dry. They can also each function only as a small humidifier if you prefer to only use them in that way.
They also both have a light, but the light on the one from Young Living has more of an ambient quality to it. The light feature on the Vitruvi is more of what I would define as a basic nightlight. If you want something that is more “mood setting,” say for the bedroom, then I like the light provided by the Young Living option the best. (see photo)
Each one can function without the light being on, but what I like about the Vitruvi design is that the light has a completely separate button, so you can use it only as a nightlight should you prefer. With the Young Living model, you press the on-off button once for the light and the diffuser to come on, press it again and the light goes off but the diffuser stays on, press it again and everything shuts off.
Another selling point for me for the Vitruvi model is that you can have it work as a diffuser in intervals. You press the power button once and it will turn green and will run continually for around three hours (the Young Living diffuser will run for about an hour longer). You press it again and it will turn amber and will work in intervals of around 30 seconds, and with this setting it will run for around seven hours. Press it again and it powers off. Again, the on-off button for the light is completely separate.
As far as the design and build quality, both are about the same height, but the Young Living design is wider, and aptly named on the manual as “Dewdrop Diffuser.” The Vitruvi is also aptly named “Stone Diffuser,” because the outer casing is made of thick porcelain. It is fairly heavy, has a much more solid feel. and just a more luxurious look to it than does the Vitruvi design.
Both come with detailed, easy to follow instructions.
I do highly recommend the Vitruvi Stone Diffuser. It is clearly of high quality and I think the fact that you can set it to diffuse intermittently is a major plus factor.
If things change as we continue to use it, I will update this review and I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I hope it helped you to some degree…thanks for reading!
I did a ton of research before buying a diffuser. There are so many available and really different price points so I wanted to pick the one that would function flawlessly and look nice - not look like a plastic spaceship. There were cheaper options than the Vitruvi, but they all looked really cheap. When my diffuser arrived, I wasn't disappointed... it was beautifully packaged and has a nice weight to it. It is smaller than the others I had seen in person which is wonderful, it takes up way less space. It looks like a lovely little vase, not too modern, not too classic. It functions flawlessly and really puts out a nice amount of aroma. The lights are unobtrusive and only on one side, so I have it turned so the lights aren't visible at all. The sound is a very minimal, soft, pleasant water gargle and hum. I am so impressed, I bought a second one for my office.
I had written earlier that I was disappointed when the diffuser we loved stopped working after 5 months. When I contacted Vitruvi customer service, Simone, Director of Customer Experience, quickly replied that a new diffuser would be sent immediately as they would always honor their warranty. As a result, I give Vitruvi 5 stars for a great product and most importantly, excellent customer service. The new diffuser was received within a few days.
I was so excited to use my diffuser the day it arrived— got shipped to my house in one piece and was very speedy delivery. This is a very classy looking diffuser that goes great with the decor in my house— it’s white, stone, and somewhat discreet. It’s not too big so it doesn’t look bulky in a room, but it’s also not too small where it doesn’t diffuse the scent throughout the space. It was very easy to set up, and my favorite feature about this whole thing, aside from the looks, is that it is very quiet! Great purchase!
Why I like it better than my old diffuser:
1. 3-hour continuous setting AND a 7.5-hour intermittent setting (I put it on when I fall asleep, and it turns off just as I wake up).
2. It does't take up too much space on my bed-side table (it's tall and narrow, opposed to the short and wide options out there).
3. The gentle white light makes a great nightlight, but I love the option to completely turn it off.
4. It comes with small spouted cup that makes it easy to pour water in to the reservoir.
5. Plastic components are BPA free.
6. I don't really care what it looks like, but the stone cover does look pretty nice.

Description
Designed out of the highest quality hand milled ceramic porcelain, these quality pieces are created to help diffuse essential oils into any environment. With longevity and safety off switches these diffusers run for hours while looking like a beautiful object that will seamlessly fit into any home. Safe device, will turn off automatically either when the time is up or when water runs out.
After researching, this diffuser cost a little more than others, but the design and quality more than justified the price difference. I've seen other diffusers and they are all plastic and feel/look cheaply made. The Vitruvi model really is stone, which adds value and appeal to my whole apartment. Also, it's smaller than other brands out there, so fits in well as an accessory. We ordered the peppermint oil and the diffuser worked great in our home.
Great product and would recommend!
Stopped working after one month and there is not return option. When I push button to turn it on, the light just flashes like it's shorted out. So I emailed vendor, they responded immediately and are sending a new one! It did work great, would be best in a smaller room.
I bought the white Vitruvi Stone Diffuser and am so so happy that I did! I've tried other diffusers in the past that look and feel cheap and then they don't work how I'd like them to. I love the material of the Vitruvi's porcelain, it looks and feels like high quality material and it really acts like a piece of décor in my living room! I have this set up on a shelf in between my living room, dining room and kitchen and the scent fills the entire space quickly - this was surprising since the diffuser is so small but it works hard! I love having the options between 7-hour intermittent and 3-hour continuous - I always like having different mode options and this is ideal. I've been switching between the bergamot and the eucalyptus oils and it only takes 10-15 drops to last the 7 hours and diffuse my space. Both oils smell so nice too!
This is the first diffuser I've seen the looks pretty and discreet and is not overpowering. I can detect the scent of the oil but it's subtle which I like. I can even sit next to it. The setting options are nice so that you can conserve the oil/water over a long period of time without having to fill it. And, you can turn the light on or off. It looks like a vase, I love the white. I will use it in my office and might get one for home as well. I especially like the idea of having a scent diffused through the room without being so aware of it. I tend to be sensitive to strong candles so this is perfect.
I bought this product for my girlfriend. I absolutely love this product. It's beautiful design has a minimalist feel. The diffuser is quiet, sleek, and wonderful addition to any home that cherishes essential oils. I highly recommend this product!
Also a side note, we found that the lavender and orange was a perfect cocktail of oils.
