Best essential oil diffuser?
Help me.
There are so many options, my head is spinning  Essential oil diffusers anywhere from $40-$200, ones that light up, ones that mist. I would like one for my classroom and one for my home. But I don't feel like spending a ton of money on something that won't work well! Where do I start? What do you like and why?

Re: Best essential oil diffuser?
I'm sure it's not the best, but this is the one I have. http://www.amazon.com/Atomizer-Humid...l+oil+diffuser
I recently started using EOs, so I didn't want to make a huge investment since I wasnt' sure if I'd be using it much. From what I read, cool mist is better than heat since heat supposedly breaks down the oils. And this model seemed fine for the small rooms of my house. I intended to use this in the living room, but it's been in my kids' room instead. Every night.  We alternate between lavender and Blue Bandit's Essential EO, depending on that night's need. (and b/c those are the only 2 oils I have atm) It holds enough water to last almost the whole night, and the kids love the changing colored light. It seems to work well enough for our needs.

Re: Best essential oil diffuser?
Any b&m stores sell diffusers? Just checked Target, but they don't. Would Whole Foods? Reading along since I just posted about putting eo's in a humidifier, but reading conflicting reports about that online.

I think I saw some at Whole Foods. I'm about to go run errands- perhaps I'll swing by there
