Strange that Stadler chooses to give it's products people names. I have both Jasmine and Lea now and I like both. Lea is top shelf though. First, I like attractive, fashionably designed products. Stadler does a nice job in this department. Second, it's no use if the product is not functional. I have purchased and returned products before that did a poor job. While it is a fair product I would have returned Jasmine if I had not purchased it well before Lea. Jasmine is not bad but I find Lea excellent. I disagree with reviewers that claim the scent is too faint. Even the essential oil that came with the unit has a pleasant organic smell too it. It is not over powering or too faint. To me; perfect. I also like the fact that Lea does not work by heat, it uses batteries so you can put it anywhere without being bound to a plug, and a bottle of essential oil will last a long time. I like to charge Lea and leave it sitting in the middle of my kitchen table with the salt and pepper shakers and napkins. The bottle of oil that came with Lea is still not empty over a month later. Lea is fairly straight forward and easy to set up and use. Despite really liking the device it is not quite perfect; just a pleasant surprise. I bought the device on sale so I settled for grey instead of black and after reading some reviews had really planned to return it when it didn't work. It turns out the sort of gunmetal grey coloring is just fine with me and it looks like a little vase or sculpture sitting on my kitchen table. Other negatives are that the construction is good but is not as solid as it appears in the pictures. What looks like mostly cast aluminum or even steel parts in pictures is really just somewhat light plastic. It still looks good though and not cheap. If it isn't regularly dropped or batted around it should hold up just fine. Finally, my biggest complaint is that the rechargeable batteries do not last long before you have to recharge them. I followed the instructions and let them completely charge the first time which seemed to take over 24 hours. I keep the unit in Daylight mode so when I am home a lot the batteries quickly run down and I have to plug it up again for another 24 to 30 hour period to let them recharge again. It seems that the batteries last less time than it takes to completely recharge them. Overall a really neat and highly functional product. I would say that it doesn't really have any short comings for me, but just areas that it could possibly be improved in. At it's price point Stadler probably should try to make a few improvements to really kick this product into the stratosphere.

there is nothing special about this Diffuser, if I was living in the US, it would be going right back to best buy few days after I purchased it. unlucky for me that I am living outside so it's not possible to do so. very simple Diffuser that you can buy anyway for $30 but they charge $99 cause it's Swiss Designed..(made in china)

This unit was a disappointment. The diffuser looked good from the box pictures, but was flimsy and plastic when taken out of the box. The top kept falling off every time I picked it up. I charged the batteries overnight and the next day, the unit was completely dead. I returned this product the same day. Looked good, but poor build quality and materials.
