Better Homes & Gardens Waterless Oil Diffuser vs Homedics Waterless Essential Oil Diffuser

Buy the Better Homes & Gardens wicking ceramic diffuser if you want scent with no power at all and like the look of a ceramic flower on a shelf. Buy the Homedics waterless diffuser if you want control: a rechargeable battery, three mist levels and colored light. The BH&G is passive and silent but scent output is weak and the flower can stain from oils; owners rate it 4.2 from 605 ratings. The Homedics is heavier at 3 lb and needs about 6.5 hours to charge for up to 14 hours of use, but it gives you adjustable output the passive unit cannot.

• Choose the Better Homes & Gardens diffuser if you want silent, cord-free scent in a small room and never want to charge or plug anything in.
• Choose the Homedics diffuser if you want adjustable mist levels, colored light and a rechargeable battery you can move from room to room.
