Hi sherpaj,
Electric heat or nebulizers are the kinds of aromatherapy machines
recommended by AromaWeb. Nebulizers it seems, are more efficient, as
they break the scent molecules into very tiny particles, more easily
dispersed throughout the room. The more expensive models are electric,
and often have timers. Some claim to have dishwasher-safe parts. The
more expensive models may also have small fans to disperse the scent.
The less expensive ones seem to be noisier, and less well made. I
personally try to avoid purchasing items that require batteries
-they?re bad for the environment and they?re a constant expense.
Cheaper models probably won?t come with an AC adapter, necessitating
the use of and constant purchase of batteries.
